All Chapters of Love in the CEO's Trap: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

"J-Jazper..."I couldn’t stop crying. My tears kept falling, and my chest felt like it was about to break. Jazper stood still for a moment, then slowly walked toward me. The anger on his face from earlier… it was gone. I reached out to touch him, but he pulled away and turned his back. He leaned his head against the cabinet, then slid down to the floor.The room was quiet, too quiet. Only my soft sobs filled the air."Jazper..." I whispered again.He ran both hands over his face, then rested his elbows on his knees, his fingers gripping his hair. Watching him like that… it hurt even more. Seeing him cry like this broke something inside me. I knew he was blaming himself. I knew he was drowning in guilt.I didn’t want him to carry all of that pain alone."Jazper..." I said again, crawling closer."Leave me, Audrey," he muttered. There was still some sharpness in his voice, but I knew it wasn’t really for me anymore."I won’t," I said softly. My tears were quieter now. "Didn’t I promise

I don’t know where I’m going. I don’t even know what road I’m on anymore. The only thing I can feel right now is the pain in my chest. It’s like my whole world just collapsed, like someone ripped my heart straight out of me.And all I can think about is him. What he said. What he did. He didn’t love me. He used me. I know I should’ve expected it. I should’ve known. This was just an arranged marriage, after all.But still… isn’t it okay to feel? Isn’t it okay to get angry? Isn’t it okay to be hurt? I want to hurt him back, I really do. But I can’t. Even if my heart’s screaming in pain, I can’t bring myself to hurt Jazper Ray.That’s the difference between the two of us. He could hurt me, but I can’t hurt him. I kept running, my vision all blurry from the tears. Everything just felt so cruel. Like the world was playing a sick joke on me.And then, the rain

“Jazper Ray?!” I screamed.But he didn’t stop.He kept running. He was with my friends. He didn’t even look back at me.“Jazper Ray! Why did you still choose them? I did everything for you, didn’t I? Jazper Ray!”Still, he didn’t stop. Didn’t turn around. Didn’t care.“You just used me, just like they did!” I cried, my voice breaking, my tears falling hard.“You just used me…”“They’re right… we’re the same.” I could hear myself yelling after him in my dream.“You used all of us! You’re selfish, Jazper Ray!”I didn’t know how the tears kept coming. I was exhausted, completely drained, and everything still hurt so much. When would it stop?“Hey… hey.”A gentle voice pulled me out of the darkness. I felt a hand lightly shaking me. When I opened my eye

I sat on the porch outside the hospital for a few minutes, trying to catch my breath. Things aren’t getting better. They’re just… not.“Sleepyhead.”Ivan dropped into the seat beside me, pulled something from his pocket, and lit up a cigarette.“I’ve been looking for you. Where did you go?”I just stared at him, that annoyed, do n’t-push-me kind of stare. I wasn’t sure if I was pissed at him for smoking, or because of what I’d just learned about Jazper Ray. Probably both.He took another drag. “Hey, what’s with the mood?” He moved the cigarette to his other hand, keeping it away from me.“I didn’t know you smoked,” I said flatly.He winked, that crooked smile in place. “Now you know.”The smell hit me again, sharp and suffocating. I coughed and waved the smoke away. “Ivan, can you not?”“Sure, sure. Sorry.” He stepped five paces back and leaned against a post, still smoking.And of course, now every woman passing on the street was staring at him, tall, handsome, one hand in his pock

"Alright, give me that freaking apple."I watched Ericka take it, chewing slowly before biting again."Just don’t tell Jazper Ray, alright?" she said.I covered my mouth, my stomach twisting.Is it possible? That Ericka witch… she’s even deceiving Jazper Ray now? Did she tell him he’s the father? Is she really that desperate to get him?I quietly closed the door, not wanting to hear another word."Audrey…"I froze where I stood.I closed my eyes. Please tell me she wasn’t the one who called me. Please… tell me it’s not him standing behind me. Please… please…"Audrey…"His voice was soft,  so much softer than when we last met.It had been five days, but was I ready to see him?"What are you doing here?" There was concern in his tone.I slowly turned halfway, but he didn’t answer. "I’m with someone," I said inst
