Chapter 2269

"Let's end this." A few simple words, spoken so softly, shattered Asher's ironclad heart, leaving it in pieces too broken to even look at.

"Arnold... I won't let you leave me!" Asher trembled from head to toe. A storm unlike any other was raging in his usually composed eyes. "I know who I love! You were never anyone's substitute! Arnold. Don't leave me... I won't let you leave me!"

Asher was terrified, more than he had ever been.
