Chapter 16.16

Randel's POV

I can't believe how long it has been. Ugh! The regret I feel in me grows every second of my life.

I regret hurting Jessa and most of all, regret trusting Halley so blindly.

That woman is no less than a manipulative devil incarnate on earth.

It was never my intention to hurt an innocent soul like Jessa.

I was so deep and blinded by the love I had for Halley that I did not even hesitate to do as she requested of me.

I know I have been convincing myself that what happened was not my fault but I know deep down that I did not agree to the plan only because Halley asked me to.

I just could not resist the temptation of the possibility that a great fortune could be mine when Halley told me about the great asset bestowed unto Jessa.

However, I guess I should have been more careful when I was dealing with a calculating woman like Halley or I guess I was just fooled by her to believe that she loved me the same way I did.
