Chapter 97

“Cara… please.” My voice is begging and desperate.

She tightens her hold on my throat, I wheezed in both pain and surprise. She never goes beyond just holding my neck. This was the first time she instilled pain while holding me, not unless she’s furious. Do my feelings enrage her?

Tears pooled in my eyes at the realization. She doesn’t feel the same way. She doesn’t want me.

My hand clasped her wrist in an unhurried motion. I nodded at her. “I’ll go.” She then let me go.

I stare at her for a while. Her cold look squeezed my heart in agony. I never thought I could love a woman this way. I couldn’t even fight with all I’ve got. What’s even my all when this woman already has everything… a lot more than I have? What’s a simple man like me offer her? Love is simply not enough.
