Chapter 21

Adrian’s POV

“How dare you show your face to me! How dare you enter my life after what you did!”

I saw her eyes burned not with passion but with rage. I held my breath, as my chest tightened with indescribable pain. It hurt so bad that she was looking at me this way. And for the nth time, I have nothing else to blame but myself.

“I came here to say sorry for what I did,” I said swallowing my ego. I looked her straight in the eyes and uttered the words I’d been practicing saying for the longest time.

“Please come back to my life.. I’m a wreck without you…”

I tried my best not to be fucking emotional as I uttered those words. It took me two long years to admit my feelings to Aria, and finally, I let it all out. It was a tough pill to swallow but worth all the pride in me. Every word, every phrase, I meant it from the bottom of my heart.

When I drove her away, I slowly became a robot.

I was functioning but not breathing.

I existed but felt empty.

I was living but feeling dead inside.
