Not when I have the one thing he lost**** Her trust.

The silence that followed was filled with unspoken emotions. "Maybe that's why I wanted you all for me," she finally admitted, her voice trembling with vulnerability. "Because even though you didn't love me, I still felt safe with you. But now you have found someone else, and everything feels uncertain again." Tears welled up in her eyes as she struggled to find the right words. "A piece of advice Don't lose her like you lost me. Trust is fragile, and once it's broken, it's hard to repair.
