First and second kiss...

Softly caressing his cheek with her thumb, Elysia asked in almost an whisper, "Ivi.. Will you please tell me what else is rolling in your mind right now? I know it's not only Samuel which is bothering you. So please tell me what it is… At least for my sake! Will you?"

Knowing very well that he won't be able to suppress those inner turmoil anymore, Ivan let go off all his insecurities in front of her.

Inhaling a sharp breath, Ivan finally confessed, "I'm feeling myself as the biggest fool right now. These stupid people had literally played with both of our lives like some fucking toys and I let them play with it by myself…

When I should've been by your side, I focused more on satisfying my huge male ego other than taking care of you. It was completely my fault that they have got our lives as their target to play chess with."

Elysia could understand the inner turmoil of him very well which made her sigh and she stood in front of him.
