Staring at Cassandra, Nathan squeezed his pants, trying hard to remain calm. She said that she was telling the truth but...
"It's too late, Cassandra. No matter what, we have an ill-fated relationship. Even our beginning was planned for evil. I don't want such a mess anymore." He barely uttered the words.
Those sleepless nights, haunting memories and nightmare; he didn't want to relive it anymore! If the pain he thought of was a physical one, it might be different but... it's mental pain. Even if he would be deemed as a coward, he didn't care. He only wanted to be free of such excruciating mental pain!
"Nathan - "
"I believe what you say and I understand but... I'm not that young and wild Nathan Woo anymore. I won't take such a risky move again. So... " He paused and then said, "Forget everything now. It's too late to turn back. We are already enemies before we even met."
