CHAPTER 39:"I Told Him My Darkness, and Somehow, He Still Wanted to Stay"

NADIA

I couldn't believe what I just did, but I kept running into the thick forest.

I have always kept my secret hidden from other people, from the world, and yet I poured it out in a bid to win the trust of a man.

What would he think of me now?

How would he perceive me now?

Would he look at me as a whore?

"You're a whore." I remembered the hurtful words he had uttered to me months earlier when I had told him that Max was my boyfriend.

Yeah, he's sure going to believe that I'm one.

I got raped, and I'm in a serious relationship with his brother.

No one is going to accept someone like me.

I stopped in my tracks and leaned my body against the tree next to me.

I let out a deep breath, unsure of what to do with my life anymore.

I leaned on the ground and closed my eyes, wishing it all ended. I hate this.

I just betrayed Max…told Asher my darkness.
