Where did she go?”“Olivia—‘’“—She can’t just leave,” I cried, suddenly gasping for breath. “What happened? Why…? What…?”I lost all my words, unsure of what to do, what to say, or how to react. Axel gripped me tightly, his hands steadying my shoulders after I swayed.How could Isabella, someone I was having a conversation with minutes ago, suddenly… leave?It wasn’t making any sense.Axel’s hands tightened around my waist, steadying me as I began to sob uncontrollably. “She said she loved you,” he murmured. “And… she…”“Why didn’t you stop her?” I asked through the tears, my lips trembling. “Why did you let her leave?”“Olivia, I tried my best to talk to her.

Slowly, carefully, walking towards me like an angel that had escaped heaven to be with an imperfect human like me. I’d braced myself for this moment, waited patiently, prepared to see her in that… dress, but nothing prepared me for that breathtaking sight.
