Chapter 10

Kylian's POV

"I've told you many times, Oliver. The answer is no."

I put my phone on speaker and tossed it on the bed, letting out an exasperated sigh. As I lay where Della once did, gazing out the tiny window of her bedroom, I felt a deep sense of regret. I was still frozen in time, stuck in the memory of that day I rejected her.

I chose Flora over her, expecting my decision to upset her. Instead, she was so cold, casually accepting my choice as if it didn’t faze her in the slightest. Then, she disappeared, breaking my heart in the process.

As I relived that memory over and over again, as I lay alone, letting the pain of my aching heart spread across my chest, I realized how stupid I was. I never should have let her go.

Realizing I had lost myself once again in my sorrows, I finally spoke up to answer Oliver.
