Chapter12 Work Troubles

Ember's Pov

"you're making this harder than it needs to be," Paris said, running a hand over his hair

"Am I?" I asked and shook my head, "None of what I've said is false. You only realize the true value of something after you've given it up and taken it for granted. You won't take me for granted ever again, Paris. I will not follow you back to a place where I was mistreated and abused."

"I'm not completely at fault here."

"Excuse me?" I asked, raising a brow.

"I said I'm not completely at fault here. You talk about my mother and sister mistreating you, but I was never told. You never told me anything."

"Oh wow. So perhaps it's my fault. Perhaps I'm wrong to have kept quiet while your family toyed with me when you never had my time of the day, and while at it perhaps I'm to blame for the way you turned away from me simply because you had found your mate. Perhaps I wasn't understanding enough."

"I'm not saying that any of those things are your fault."
