Novel & Cerita Because I Cannot Hurt You

“It’s fine if you don’t want shrimp, El! Why go as far as pushing me?” I never imagined that she could lie so brazenly. Benedict’s face burned with rage. He stood protectively in front of Melissa. “El, that’s going too far! Mel only meant well. How could you hurt her like this?” The thick, scalding soup seeped through the gauze right into my open wound. Pus started oozing from the gash. The searing pain made me break out in a cold sweat, and I could only speak slowly.

I hate myself for this, I hate myself for this so much, I just can't forgive myself at all. I'm hurting him,I know I am. It's sad I can't be with who I want to be with.

“So what, I’m bait now?” “You’ve always been,” I said, not harshly, just honestly. “He wants to hurt you because he thinks it’ll destroy me. And he’s right, at least partially. It would mess me up. But it won’t break me. And I sure as hell won’t let it happen.”

"Go on, tell me, why you didn't tell me that Zeus is your brother, not your mate?" "I didn't mean to, I was just scared..." He interrupted me, "Scared that I will hurt you? For goddess sake, I have never done anything to hurt you and I have no plans of doing that, I love you but I could never hurt you. Even if you tell me you don't love me and don't want to be with me, I am not going to force myself on you,"

And you broke it all. I never intended to hurt you. But you hurt me first. And you did it publicly. I will not sit back. I will not stay quiet. You will pay. For every single emotional wound. For every mental crack. And for every physical pain you have caused me. I promise.

I replied, my voice low, “but beauty can be dangerous. It makes you feel things you’re not ready to feel. I’m still haunted by so much... by every cruel word, every moment of humiliation.” He reached out, taking my hand gently in his. “I know,” he whispered. “I know I was the one who hurt you most. I can’t erase what I did. But I want to be the one who stands by you now—to show you that I’m not that man anymore.”

We have won. Hate is a strong word, but I truly hate you. You come in where you're not wanted and take what's not yours. So this is why I'm writing you. I need to get all of this hurt and anger off of my chest. I am so pissed that you take and take and take. But, you know what? You are not invincible.

And I know I can’t take this away. Even if it hurts. Even if it breaks something in me. They’re falling for him. And I can’t stop it.

"What do you mean by 'you cannot feel?" "There are things I cannot share with you, but this I will tell you. I am only capable of feeling two emotions: pain and pleasure. I cannot love you, not because I don't want to, but because I don't know how to. I can't. So most of the times I like to feel this two little emotions as much as I can, just to remind me that I am still a living being"

It was evil. “Oh, why are you smiling like that?” I tried to normalize things by asking it. “Because” he sighed and smiled. “Well, you never know when someone’s gonna hurt you, do you?” “What do you mean?” I didn’t understand anything. “What if I hurt you?” “You won’t” I was confident. “I will”
