Kapitel 53: Beg for you

I love everything about Arik. It isn't easy being in love with him and not being able to express or even say it to him.

And looking at him like this right now, with an unknown anger very visible in his eyes, is the most painful thing I've experienced. It's even more painful than when I found out it would take a while before I can speak again.

"How do you know about that guy? Is he also one of the men you're choosing now to save yourself from your family's mess?" He continued questioning me about various things that I couldn't comprehend.

Right. He doesn't remember even Rusty.

Sometimes, I wonder if this has something to do with the rumors Yumi has been spreading about me to him.

I can't help but wonder what exactly Yumi told him to make him this angry at me, as if I've committed some grave offense against him, enough to insult me like this.

Arik chuckled and continued to puff on his cigarette. I stepped away slightly to avoid the smoke.
