Chapter 31

-: Flashback :-

"Why are you crying ?"

He whispered , fog emerging from his lips in the cold night . She sobbed harder at his words .

"Canny ?"

"Do you hate me now ?" She looked at him , eyes puffy and red .

"What ? Why ? Why would I hate you ?"

"Because I dragged you into this hell ." Thomas's eyes softened .

He took her small hands in his and whispered ,"I could never hate you . Never . No one could hate you . Even if they tried their very best ." He pulled her in his embrace .

"My mother hates me ." Her voice was muffled by his clothes .

"Your mother is a witch ." He dead panned . Carina chuckled .

"She doesn't deserve your love ." She finally smiled . He relaxed . He never failed to make her smile . And he could never see her cry . It hurt his whole being .

He would always make her happy . He had vowed to himself .

"C-Carina ?" Thomas's voice echoed in the chamber .
