Novel & Cerita She Loved Me

She loved me. That was all that mattered.

Even when it must remain plutonic. “You did so well yesterday, I want to acknowledge the amount of pain you’ve endured. You’re a beautiful Warrior, any man would be lucky to have you as their partner, don’t ever cut yourself down again for anyone.” Every word I spoke was the truth, I watched as she blinked away tears. Like she’d never had someone truly appreciate her. No one had ever loved or appreciated her resilience. “Thank you Henry” she spoke softly “thank you for giving me a safe space to fall apart” her voice quivering “that’s not something I’m used to.” She said with a sadness and gratitude.

“He said that?” She nods. “Yup. Then winked at me, which I hated, and left.” “Sounds about right.” She studies me for a beat too long. “El… you sure you’re okay? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.” I almost laugh. Not quite. I just nod. “Yeah. Just tired.” Halle doesn’t push. That’s another reason I keep her close—she knows when to let something lie. “Well, I’m grabbing coffee. You want your usual?”

"How did you know?" He remembered that night vividly. She had been angry at him. He had botched a mission and still ran through the pouring rain across Wendover just to buy her favorite cupcake. That night, she had looked at him and said, "It's not that I'm easy to please. It's just… I still love you. But if the day comes when I stop loving you, even putting a gun to your head won't make a difference." Leo pulled out the cupcake from the insulated bag, and she took it without a word.

“She did it because she loved him first.” __________

Before I could make out who it was, a bucket of cold water poured down from above. After days without water, I instinctively sought out the moisture. Kiara laughed. "Elena, you look just like a dog right now." Only then did I see clearly who stood before me. My voice came out hoarse. "What do you want?" Kiara crouched down. When she saw the festering, rotting flesh covering my body, she covered her nose and mouth in disgust and backed away. "How disgusting." I forced myself up, trying to get around her and leave. But Kiara kicked me back down. I fell to the ground.

I loved her deeply, injured, healed, scarred, clear skinned, I loved her regardless. “And I love you so much Kiara Ivanov”

wanted to resist but I pleaded, "Mama p...please, tell me the truth Peter always tells me I do not belong here" She began to sob and cried...... "Am so sorry, I love you so much like my own child, and I was getting ready to tell you someday." I saw raw love in her eyes for me. **Mama Flashed back** 15 years ago when I was coming back from where I work, it was late at night and very dark. When I got home and walked towards the door while I tried to open it, I heard someone panting heavily at the corner of the house.
