Chapter 186: Broken Again

The rest of the night I had spent in agony as I found myself feeling an ache for Darius.

An ache that took root within my being, after the realization that he still…wants me.

All of a sudden, I've found my will to live, as it would seem he and I would figure out a way through this.

So you can betray him in the end?

My heart pulses upon this thought and a dread overcomes me.

If…if I want him alive…then I have no choice, do I?

He'll…he'll learn to forgive me.

There's only so much a person can forgive.

I grasp at my heart as the sudden thought of the inevitable future takes a toll on me.

We'll be happy, only to be hurt again.

As the pain settles into my heart, I try to subdue it by thinking of why I would do such a thing in the first place.

He'll be alive, and that's all that matters.

That future will be undone and he'll be okay.

It doesn't matter if he hates me.
