Ririna knew she was going to let Eli influence most of her decisions the instant she swore her loyalty and love for him. No, she thought, she had known since the beginning that he was a big part of her life. The moment he picked her up from the orphanage when she was a child… was the time he had made an impact on her decisions and life choices.
She had made her choice, and that choice was to be with him.
It wasn't just because she wanted him in a way she never wanted any other men beside him. It was because now she knew that he needed her as much as she needed him.
Even though he kissed and touched her, she knew better than to hope that he would put his feelings into words. It was too soon for that, and she was sure he wasn't ready to voice out his feelings for her. However, her heart hoped that someday she could hear the words from his lips.
