Her eyes were glistening with tears as she asked him, "Seeing me like this, are you satisfied?"
Every word from Serena Sterling was like a sharp dagger, heavily and fiercely piercing Malcom Moore's heart, leaving it riddled with holes, causing him such pain he couldn't breathe.
How could he let her go back to that life filled with unbearable pain, allow old lovers to conspire against her, or let her lose everything!
He just wanted to love her, cherish her, and give her a life of happiness and bliss!
But she didn't need any of it, she only wanted to stay away from him!
The hurt she endured was all brought to her by him.
Her parents' death was inextricably linked to him.
Through the pain that took two lives, Malcom didn't know how he could soothe her.
He hurt too, hurt just like she did!
He wanted to heal together with her, but she didn't need him.
Without him, she pulled herself out of her suffering.
