CHAPTER 18- THE PRICE OF LOVE.

Gaius was strolling towards the pharmacy with a rose in his hand. He , would've loved more than anything, to light his lantern with Adriana, the woman of his dreams, but as usual, Bren was one step ahead of him. When he had seen them together last night, he felt like he was suffocating. And that his heart was breaking into a million pieces.

He couldn't stand the sight of Bren and Adriana together, so he left quietly before they could see him. That, was when he saw Priscilia. He did light his lantern with her, but he didn't promise anything. He just wanted to see where life would take them on its own.

His conscience always pricked him whenever he saw her. She was so nice, so sweet. Always wanting to give and ready to demonstrate her love for him without expecting anything in return. She didn't deserve this. She deserved someone who truly loved her. But instead, she got punished with the curse of loving a man like him. Whose heart already belonged to someone else.
