Chapter 40

I didn't want to anger him but the words were on my lips waiting to come out, almost burning. I sighed and my trembled hand swept back the hair that engulfed my face when I looked down. I didn't want to say the words to myself. Was he in love with Anais? But he never knew her…

Maybe he fell in love with her when she was unaware he was observing her. This… hurts!

"Let me go!" my voice cut down the silence, firm and steady as if I was ordering him to do it. It was perfectly done that he let go of me. I stared at him, turning my eyes as cold as possible. I felt bad because I apprehended his emotions towards Anais and I started disliking her. ME, who defended her at every occasion, "Now, don't ever look for me! Don't ever call me! Don't ever meet me! Even seeing me, I want you to look away when it happens and we are in the same space. You only wanted a wife… So be it! I will keep the title as long as you want but that's all between us."
