How could you do this to me?

He wanted to shout at her but the words got caught up in his throat.

Tears are trickling down to her cheeks even with her eyes closed.Muffled cry came out from her lips even when she's asleep.

She's sleeping yet she's sobbing.

He came near to her.

After six long hours of contemplating,he finally decided to get inside her house and beg for her forgiveness.

He never expected seeing her sleeping half-naked and sobbing.

Even with her face covered with dried tears and smeared make up,she still looked lovely.

How could that be possible?

The primal need he felt to hold her and comfort her is overwhelming.

He touched her lovely face gently.He laid his temple against her temple.He kissed her hands.Bitter tears flowed down endlessly from his eyes.

He never cried before no matter how angry or how sad he is.He had learned to be so cold,distant and indifferent but now she ruined the thick wall of indifference he had built!

He realized that he's weak.

He was scared of getting hurt...but not anymore.

She taught him how to reach out, to connect and to love other people even if it means getting hurt.

He loved her and at the same time he hated her.

He loved her for teaching him how to love.

He hated her because he doesn't know how to "unlearn" the love he learned from her!

He loved her because she accepted him and reciprocated his love.

He hated her because she knew it all along and toyed with his feelings.

He hated her because she loved him.She loved him not just for the sake of loving but with an ulterior motive.She loved him to punish him and to ruin him!

He is so confused with his feelings for her but in the end he still love her more than he hated her.

This must be true love!He told himself.

He closed his eyes and kissed her lips.He let his lips linger to her lips.

Damn!God I missed her!

He slowly moved his lips.Suddenly her eyes opened.She flinched,she sat up and move away from him.He came near to her and hugged her but she remain frozen like a cold marble statue.He looked into his eyes and laid down his explanation before her.

"I  don't know how to explain baby but please believe me that I regret the day  I commanded to them to bring Kayla in front of me...I  was an idiot!I was a beast!I was a devil!I regret all my evil ways baby...please believe me when I say that I have no intention of harming Kayla when I asked to bring them in front of me.I only wanted to talk to her.I am not blaming them for what happened.I am so sorry baby.What should we do so you'll forgive us?"he sobbed in between his words.

"What difference would it make if I say that I wanted you to pay for your sins Rex?The damage has been done.You have ruined  our family.You burned down my father's company.It is as good as taking away his passion.My parents and my twin sister committed suicide because of you!Now can you blame me for seeking revenge?I only wanted to make you realize all your mistakes...I only wanted you to say sorry to me...I only wanted to make you realize that your cruelty ruined  our family and our  lives...I  didn't have to do anything because you fell for me.It exhilarated me.I was happy because  I got what I want .Yes,I have conquered you and I've changed you .I should be happy but I am not .I've ruined you but  I
ended  up ruining myself.I  love you Rex .My love for you is greater than the hatred I felt.I made up my mind to marry you and forgive you..."she  confessed wholeheartedly in between her  sobs.

"...but when I saw Lyndon it made me realize that forgiving is easy but forgetting is a hard thing to do.I wanted them to suffer and pay for their sins but who am I Rex to judge you or judge them?Even if they beg  for my forgiveness and die of capital punishment it wouldn't make a difference.Who am I not to forgive you?I have  to  let all the wounds heal.You have to let me heal all the wounds on my own.I have to pick up the broken pieces of my shattered  soul on my own.I love you but I need to be alone.You have to let go of me because I need to heal all the bruises.I  need to find myself.When the right time comes,I might return to you but you have to let go of me."Her words pierced in his heart and soul.He is slowly dying.He wanted to beg for her stay.

"What about our child,Kayleigh?You know living without you is  as good as living in hell.I love you so much.I will do everything for you to stay but you are right  you have to let time heal all wounds.I am letting you go for you to heal but I will always be watching you .There's only one thing I wanted to ask from you.Please let me support you and our  baby financially,"he hugged her so tight.She nodded silently.

They clung to each other with all the tears and smile.They tried to hold their souls together.They kissed hungrily like they can't let go of each other.

After 30 minutes of kissing,crying and hugging each other,Kayleigh forcibly untangle herself from him.

"Goodbye Rex.I love you.Please go now."she  pushed him and closed the door.She  sighed and wipe her tears.She closed her eyes and started to pack her things.
