Chapter 0511 | am honestly disgusted listening to her right now. Who the hell does that to someone else? Gabriel is a living being with feelings. What they did to him was downright cruel.
"You know the rest," she pauses before continuing. "When you blacklisted me and Paul, life became unbearable. We couldn't stay here given that we couldn't even get jobs. We fled abroad but broke up soon after. I'm so sorry, Gabe. I'm sorry that | used you and didn't treasure what we had. It's only after we were apart that | realized my feelings for you, but it was already too late. You hated me and didn't want to see me." My heart races, and my breathing deepens. Even though it's cold, sweat trickles down my back. | am so afraid. So, fucking afraid that he will choose her. This is his chance to be with the first woman he ever loved. | try to control my trembling as | wait to hear what he'll say. As | wait to hear his answer to her confession. After all, first loves are hard to forget.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt*None of that matters," he finally says after a while.
What did that mean? Does he mean it doesn't matter because he still loves her and has forgiven her? | feel like | am about to faint from anxiety.
She goes to speak, but he holds up his finger. He then turns and looks at me briefly. | see something pass in his grey eyes, but it's too quick for me to read. My heart beats loudly, almost drowning out every other sound around me. What if that brief look is an apology because he is about to choose her and break my heart? Once again, | try to pull my hand out of his, but he doesn't let go. Is he this cruel? Does he really want me to stay here as he shatters my heart once again? Tears begin filling my eyes, and | blink them away. Refusing to let them fall.
*Like | said, what you did doesn't matter now because your actions led me to my wife," he begins. | look at the side of his face in confusion.
Say what? "I no longer love you, Ashley, and | haven't in a long time. My heart belongs to Harper, and | wouldn't change anything that happened if it means she still ends up my wife." My tears fall, but this time for a different reason. My heart eases in its tight grip as | realize that Gabriel is choosing me. He is picking me over his first love.
"| accept your apology, but | am where | belong and with whom | belong. What we had died a long time ago, and it can never be revived." Even though | watch Ashley's tears fall, | feel like jumping for joy. | know she's hurting, but that doesn't dim the happiness | was currently feeling.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm*Go home, Ashley; move on with your life and don't ever look for me." There wasn't anything in it. No anger or bitterness. It was just neutral.
He doesn't wait for her to answer. He just brings our joined hands to his lips before kissing mine. He turns us around and we leave.
*Are you okay?" | ask slowly, almost in a whisper. Content from NévelDrama!!! He looks down at me with a smile. "More than okay. You are the one | love, and compared to what | felt for her, what | feel for you is a blazing inferno, while what | felt for her was nothing but a flicker. | would choose you over and over again, in a thousand lifetimes." | return his smile. "I love you too." | feel something release inside me, and for the first time in a long time, | feel like | can breathe easily. The tight knot that was always inside me uncoils, and | feel free.
It then it hits me; this is what | was waiting for. This is why | held back. Now, though, | feel free to love him without the worry of his first love coming between us. Now | am ready to love him wholeheartedly.
