The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 264

Book 3 Chapter 99

~DANTE~

I’d finally gotten Willow alone in my room, where I’d been dying to have her. It felt unreal to have her back here after all of the craziness we’ve had to go through the past few days since she left me.

“Go ahead.” She says without any emotion. “Say what you want to tell me. I’m listening.”

“I’m so sorry, Willow. For everything.” I apologize. This is the most sincere I’ve ever been in my life. I meant every word I was about to say to her. “When you entered my life, I was still getting used to the idea of Anya’s betrayal and losing her simultaneously. Our marriage wasn’t easy for me initially; it happened too quickly after Anya’s death. I was confused and lost. I’m not trying to make excuses for my actions; I just want you to know that I wouldn’t have been such a fool if I’d met you under different circumstances.”

She doesn’t say anything as she waits for me to continue.

“But then I got to know you. Little by little, you made your way into my heart. You showed me what it meant to be loved by someone. Not the fake kind of love that Anya showed to me. With you, I didn’t feel lonely; I didn’t feel like I was fighting a losing battle. You made everything better, Willow. You gave me hope again; you gave me a reason to live. You gave me everything and more than I ever wanted from Anya.” I whisper, staring intensely into her eyes.

“You loved me when I was impossible to love. You did things for me that no one would have ever done. You shined your light into my life and made it into something wonderful.” I tell her. “Willow, I’ve never known another woman like you. I’m sorry for ever making you feel like a second option. I’m sorry for ever making you believe I could never love you. I’m sorry for taking so long to heal from Anya. I’m sorry that I didn’t give myself to you right away. I’m sorry that I was a horrible husband. All I want to do from now on is to make it up to you, Willow.”

“Dante—”

“I know I was wrong, Willow.” I cut her off. “Those things that I said to Atticus that day, I didn’t mean any of it. I was in shock. That night with you was the best night of my f*****g life, and it terrified me to the point that I thought it was wrong. I thought the feeling in my chest wasn’t allowed. I was foolish back then. I knew I needed you; I couldn’t live without you, and I was afraid of losing you. I didn’t want to take advantage of your love for me, and it felt like I’d done just that. I’m so sorry that you heard those horrible words from my mouth, and I’m even ashamed that I said those words to you.”
