Chapter 9

Alec, do you really have to be so pathetic? You clearly can't forget Isadora, and I've already stepped aside to give you two a chance. So why do you insist on loving her when she leaves, and then loving me after I'm gone?

Why do men have to be so despicable, only realizing what they had after they've lost it?

Alec froze in place.

After a moment, he shook his head frantically, "No, that's not true. You're the only one I love."

I gave a weak smile.

I'm not an idiot. I know whether I'm loved or not.

"Alec, go home. If you keep harassing me, I'll kill myself."

Perhaps my words were too harsh, or maybe it was because I threatened him with my own life.

After that, Alec stopped appearing before me.

Occasionally, though, I would receive handwritten letters from him.

Just like he used to write to Isadora, he poured out his love for me and his regrets in those letters.

Every time, I would throw these letters in the trash.

What's the point?
