"I want to keep you happy, Ari, but it's me who turned out to be the reason for your pain" Lucian expressed feeling the same pain she was going through.

"Then why don't you let me go" Ariana's sudden words made him withdraw his hand from her face.

Lucian's eyes grew a little wide when he saw her slowly open her eyes.

"You said you want to keep me happy, then why don't you make me happy by letting me go" she repeated.

Ariana woke up the moment she heard the door open, but she refused to react because she knew who had come to see her.

'Lucian'

It was always him who had easy access to her room, unlike others who knocked before stepping in. But this time, she didn't feel the same sense of happiness she used to feel before.

"That would never happen" Lucian snapped back to his serious guise refusing to accept her words.
