“How c could it be so easy for you?” I whisper, my heart tightening like a chain pulling against it.
“What?” he asks, not understanding me.
I knew that I was wasting my time showing him how much this was affecting me. Apollo was not going to change his mind about this
“How can you accept a marriage proposal without a single thought about us and what we share? I demand, my voice trembling with despair. “How repeat, feeling the sadness break through
He leans his forehead against mine, and I want to push him away, but I can’t summon the strength to do it. it’s not easy. Please don’t ever think that. Nothing about this is simple for me.”
Lies. It’s all lies. If it truly wasn’t easy for him, he wouldn’t have gone through with it.

can’t stop the words from spilling out. I’m shattered at the idea of him being with someone else.
He buries his face in my neck, and I can feel the weight of his turmal. “it’s not that simple.
How could it not be? If he didn’t want to marry her, how hard could it be to say no?
Twas an example of this. I’m not marrying anyone because he’s the only one I want.
There was only one explanation, he wanted this marriage to take place. Otherwise, he would have said no a long time ago.

It’s hard to tell if his expression is genuine or not, but he looks devastated by my words. Somehow, he seems torn about what to do next.
I can hardly breathe when he places both of his hands on my waist and puls me against him. Again, I want to push him away but can’t find the strength.
“Can you let me hold you, just one last time?” he whispers.
One last time?
It felt as though my heart had shattered into a million pieces. This meant it was really over, he was moving forwith his decision, no matter how much it hurt më
I stay completely still as he kisses my neck. Even though everything feels like it’s falling apart, I can’t help but want more knowing that he may never touch me again after this
I wrap my arms around his neck as he nibbled on my skin,
Before I knew it, we both found each other’s lips. I can taste my own tears as he kisses me hungrily. He pushes his tongue into my mouth, tasting me, it felt like his kisses were swallowing me
