Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: The Scar I Still Wear

> "You weren't just my trauma. You were the addiction I kept relapsing into."

He calls me "bella" like it's still his right.

I should break his jaw for that.

"You came back."

"I never left."

"That's the problem."

---

He touches my hand. My body betrays me. The same body he used like a hotel room he never paid for.

"You ruined me."

"You let me."

"I begged you to stay."

"I stayed long enough to make you bleed."

---

I hate that my heart races when he's near.

He should be a grave to me. Instead, he's home.

"You want revenge, bella?"

"No. I want to watch you fall in love with me again."

"And then?"

"And then I'll destroy you."
