The breaking point of love
Her heartbeat was fast and weak, and her trapped body trembled in his hands like a bird drawing its final breath.
Adrian suddenly pulled back, breaking the kiss slowly as his breathing turned ragged, his lost eyes scanning her pale face. She had placed the back of her hand over her mouth, her eyes brimming with tears as she stared at him with profound sorrow and shock. The edge of his rage gradually evaporated, replaced by absolute panic for her, but before he could say a single word, a shocking slap landed from her weak hand straight onto his face.
