Chapter 46 One Last Time

“NO…”

He firmly refused and before another argument would begin, he held my hand in his stopping the unsaid protest midway.

“I am deeply sorry for your loss, I could do anything, Amy… But, I can’t let you go… No…

You’re angry that is the mere reason you want this…

Ask your heart, if you don’t want me…”

His sweet talk was again meddling with my mind and then his hand slowly caressed my cheek, I didn’t need to say it.

He saw clearly how much he influenced me.

Even if it’s physically, it’s just him I want.

But, his betrayal…

“No, Derek…

This relationship would only hurt us both further…

Please, let me go…”

I requested as sweetly as I could.

I don’t want him around me anymore, his existence reminded me about my loss even later it gave me comfort but that dull pain remained in my heart.

“First you get better, then we’ll talk about this.”

Just like this, he dismissed the topic.
