Book 3 Chapter 73

~WILLOW~

My lips are parted, and my hands are clutching my chest. It’s just as I had expected. He regretted everything that happened last night.

I could hardly breathe. I held onto the wall for support, but I felt like my heart couldn’t take the pain.

Nothing has ever hurt this much, not even losing my sister. Nothing should ever hurt this much but it did, I was falling apart. I only had a few seconds before I crashed.

Dante’s words had just completely shattered my heart. I turned to run away when I accidentally knocked down the vase next to me. My eyes widened; if he walked outside, he would see me. Then he would know that I’d heard him.

I didn’t want him to know. I didn’t want him to see what he’d done to me. If he did, he would try to apologize and I didn’t want his f****d apology. I ran as fast as I could, and I didn’t stop until I reached his room. I quickly shut the door behind me.

I climbed onto the bed and pretended I was asleep when I heard his footsteps. He was running; maybe he’d seen me. I still hoped that I was fast enough.

My eyes were tightly shut when the door flew open. I could hear his loud breathing and knew that he was most likely panicking.

“Willow?”

I open my eyes and see him right above me. His eyes are searching my face for answers. He was trying hard to find out if I’d heard him without asking me.

He couldn’t hide the worry from his eyes. I could see right through him.

“What’s wrong?” I ask him.

He looks around the room; I’m unsure what he’s searching for.
