CHAPTER 16: Tears

DAVIDE’S POV:

Mackenzie’s eyes suddenly well up with tears.

She’s really very emotional. Imagine getting affected by my story without having even met my late wife?

“I gotta go,” she says, sniffing while drying her tears that are menacing to fall down.

She walks away from me, barely having enough strength to thrust her legs. I wanna stop her, but she might lose her control again and end up arguing with me if I do. So I let her leave, and in a few seconds, she’s out of the door.

A sigh escapes me when I inadvertently slant my view to my applicants’ resumes still sitting on my desk. Mackenzie has forgotten them and I don’t wanna follow her, especially now that she’s battling her issues with her emotions. Besides, it’s been more than twenty-four hours since the last time I had my time alone.

I close my eyes as I recline the back of my head to my chair, while permitting my most horrific memory to haunt me once again. Then, my late wife’s name skates out of me in a murmur,

“Dhalia.”
