Richard's POV
Regret forms a jagged rock in my stomach as I watch her walk back the way she came without a word.
Even though no one is in sight, shame soaks my skin and frustration eats at me.
I know I made a huge mistake by asking her for a divorce, and I made an even bigger mistake by leaving home that night to go to Eve. If I hadn't left home, maybe I would have been able to stop her from leaving.
But then Eve was my obsession. If I hadn't caught her cheating on me with my best friend, I wouldn't have thought of ever stopping Arabel from leaving.
It makes the regret slump deeper in me as I drop my head to the wheels, thinking of what exactly to do to get her forgiveness.
Obviously, she does not just hate me. She has not forgiven me yet, and I doubt if she will. She is finding it so hard to keep up with the pretense, and for the very first time since we met, I am beginning to feel scared of her coming out clean to tell me she is indeed Arabel.
If she confesses, how do I apologize? H
