Capítulo 112: Financial Windfall

— Alexander POV —

"What are you talking about?" I asked, blinking at her.

"I just don't want to hold you back, you deserve to be happy, Alexander," she said as she looked away.

I could feel my heart breaking, I'm sure the look on my face told her more than enough. I'm sure it held more than enough proof of how I felt for her.

"Lilith," I groaned. "Look at me, please."

She refused to turn even as I held her hand tightly. 

"Please, Lilith," pleading I gently stroked her hand.

When she refused to turn I let go of her hand and stood up. I walked up to her and got on my knees before her.

She gasped as I cupped her face and leaned forward to kiss her. 

I had every intention to keep the kiss chaste, but something about her just lit up a flame in me.
