Chapter 23

"Why don't you want this to work?" Irene asked and he gritted his teeth as he pinched the bridge of his nose, sitting back in his chair.

"Get out Irene"

"Not until i get an answer Milliano, I've loved you and only you for five years, you just... Changed after we got married three years ago... " she took his left hand into her hand, sandwiching it between hers.

"... Was it something I did?... I want to make this work... Please?" He watched the tears fall from her eyes and he chuckled.

"Get out Irene"

"No... Just... Just an answer"

"I don't love you" she frowned and he gritted his teeth, he was still ashamed of himself, he didn't have the courage to say he was in love with someone else.

"What?" She slowly let go of his hand and stared at the necklace on his chest, the necklace that had remained on him for more than two months since he'd come back. She knew her husband, he hated wearing any kind of jewellery to sleep, not even his wedding ring.
