Chapter 82

Paris's POV

"Ember! Ember please wait!" I called and almost wept when I saw her pause, "Thank goodness, Ember."

She turned to me, her eyes reddened and I swear I wanted to curse myself. What exactly had I done?

In just one night, I had ruined everything.

I walked closer and tried to hold on to her, but she pushed me off, hate and anger boiling in her eyes

"don’t you dare try to touch me? Don't you dare! what do you want from me, Paris? Have you not done enough?"

"Ember, for the love of God. At least hear me out."

"hear you out? Do you want me to hear you out? Some audacity you must have, Paris. You're nothing but a two-timing liar. How could I have been so dumb to not see through your façade? But the question, is why? Why try to lie to me? Why try to put me through hell once again."

"no, no. you're getting it all wrong. None of it was a facade. None of it was pretend. I never lied to you."
