Chapter 15

I'll freeze our memories at the peak of our love.

I'll play the role of someone deeply in love with Seraphina.

I want her to fall for me again in this atmosphere.

Then...

I'll abandon her when she loves me most.

I succeeded.

Seraphina went wild, grabbing my hand in utter disbelief.

"Alec, stop kidding around."

That night, I said nothing, just slowly pried her fingers off.

I turned and walked into the elevator.

After that day, Seraphina started frequently trying to get back together.

She never understood why we broke up like this.

She intercepted me in the apartment lobby.

After just a few days apart, she looked much worse for wear, her voice hoarse.

"Alec, why did we break up?"

"Did I upset you somehow?"

"Was the marriage too sudden?"

"But didn't you say that night you wanted to marry me?"

"We can start over, Alec. Please don't talk about breaking up, okay?"
