Chapter 252: There's No Going Back

I don't move for what I feel is an eternity. I don't move even when he walks up to me and stands in front of me, I just look at him as I become flooded with a current of so many emotions.

It's only when he aims to touch my face that I finally do something. I flinch backwards.

He says nothing, neither do I for several seconds.

"You really do love him don't you?" Elias asks me. And when he does, I find myself involuntarily looking into his eyes. When I gaze into his soul, I feel my heart burn with the intensity of a thousand hells.

"I do." I say. "Yet...I hate him so much." I say, keeping the meaning behind my words hidden.

Upon hearing this, Elias dawns what looks to be a somber expression.

Summoning every strength within me, I force myself to act.

"Let's go inside, you don't want to be seen." I say, then I walk in without hesitating.
