Victoria's POV
I turned around and met eyes with him, his sea blue eyes were fixed on me and I could notice how worried he was for me.
''Think about it.'' he begged,
I shook my head and kept on walking around the room.
''Sorry, I can't.'' I murmured out
''I'm not rushing you, you can think about it.'' he pleaded
''There is nothing to think about, I need to go back to California and pick up the pieces of my life.''
''There is nothing left for you there.''
I stared at him with a confused look, why would he say that when obviously my aunt was there.
He noticed the confusion on my face and looked away.
''Is there something you are not telling me.'' I asked in curiosity as I moved closer to him.
He ran his fingers through his hair but did not say a word, seeing him reacting this way I knew something was wrong.
''Is there something you are not telling me.'' I stood before him with my curious eyes on him.
He released an heavy sigh, stood up from the bed and stood before me, making us just an inch apart.
I gulped nervously at his manly stature, he was huge not that huge, he has broad shoulders just like Eric and his sea blue eyes were intimidating.
''Think about what I just told you.'' he brought forth his hand and placed it on my cheek, the moment his hand was on my cheek I felt the warmth of his hand, and it reminded me of Eric's touch.
''I promise to keep you safe, please allow me fulfill my promise.'' he expressed those words like he meant every bit of it.
I stared at him and did not know what to say, I was confused, really confused.
''I have to go.'' he kissed me softly on the cheek, smiled at me before letting go of my cheek.
He took a step backward and stared at me for a while like he was about to say something, but he decided to let it be and walked away.
I sighed softly and sat back on the bed as Elliot's words keep ringing in my head.
He sounded so sincere when he made mention of wanting to keep me safe, and I wondered what he meant by that.
If I hated Eric just like the way he claimed, then why do I feel so attached to him, why don't I feel even an atom of hate towards him.
What did Eric do that made me hate him so much, how did he cause me so much pains that I decided to stay away from him.
I cracked my brain as I thought of every possible way Eric might have hurt me, but I couldn't remember anything of him.
If he caused me pains and made me hate him, then it can mean only one thing, maybe I caught him cheating on me with another woman.
Perhaps I caught him with another woman, felt heartbroken and decided to stay away from him. That was the only explanation I could come up with.
