CHAPTER 41

WHILE getting closer to the gate, Chloe felt like regretting her decision to come back but she knew that she had to. She didn't want to just run away without hearing anything from him. If Cross really didn't love her at all during their times together, then she had to hear him say that to her face while staring directly into her eyes.

She didn't know why she had to do that. Maybe, she was becoming a masochist or something but deep inside of her, she had to do it. It wasn't probably the wises decision for now considering how painful his words were but she didn't care.

The two of them started their relationship together and if he wanted to put an end to everything that they built together, then they should end it together too.

"You can still change your mind, Chloe. You don't have to do this." Nevaeh told her full of concern the moment they arrived at the gate and Mr. Wolfe pressed the doorbell. Chloe forced a smile.

"I don't know why but all I know right now is I need to."

"But you're just going to hurt yourself even more if he robbed to your face that he doesn't want to be with you anymore. I'm sorry if I'm being blunt but I'm just concerned about you. I don't want you to get hurt until you reach the point of losing yourself. It's not worth it, Chloe. I'm telling you." Nevaeh's eyes were so melancholy while saying that for some reason as if she was recalling something very heartbreaking and it made Chloe think for a second of two.

"Isn't it better to at least take the blow all at once rather than spend your days wondering about things that could've been? Of what went wrong? Trust me, living like that will make you lose yourself and not just that but full of regret too. Moving on would be harder." Mr. Wolfe interrupted quietly and Nevaeh gave him a sharp glare.

Chloe began to wonder what was with the two that they were behaving like a cat and a dog since a while ago.

"Did I hear it right, Mr. Wolfe? You, talking about losing yourself and having a hard time moving on?" Nevaeh laughed sarcastically. "Wow. That's probably the funniest thing that I've ever heard so far." She even shook her head while laughing.

Mr. Wolfe's face hardened and was about to respond when the gate finally opened and Chloe felt like everything came to a stop upon seeing Cross.

"Something's wrong with the gate that's why I came to open it manually—" Upon noticing her presence, his face hardened as his jaw tightened.

"Fùck! I told you to take her to away from here not to take her back here!" His voice held anger as he looked at Mr. Wolfe but the latter shook his shoulders without commenting.

"You're a jerk, you know that? You don't have to behave like an as*hole in front of Chloe. You're very disappointing, Cross." Nevaeh looked at Cross full of displeasure but he ignored that. Chloe thought that he would say hurtful things to her judging by the anger that she was seeing on his face but to her surprise, he suddenly took her hand and pulled her away from there, heading to only God knows where.

She heard Nevaeh calling for her name and was about to follow them but it seemed that Mr. Wolfe stopped her.

"Let go of me!" Chloe hissed angrily. She tried pulling back her hand from his grip but he didn't let go. Instead, he continued on walking to the direction of the woods until they were far enough and couldn't see the house anymore.

"I said, let go of me!" She finally succeeded on freeing her hand from his and slapped him in the face. She wasn't the violent type of a person but the way he was behaving hurt her even more and it made her angrier.

He slowly touched his cheek while his jaw was flexing. The anger was very evident on his face and she couldn't be mistaken. Did he really hate her that much? So, was he only acting whenever they were together, pretending to be in love with her even though he wasn't?

Just thinking about such betrayal was already breaking her heart into tiny pieces.

"You shouldn't've come back." Her eyes began brimming with unshed tears but she tried her best not to let them fall. This was what she came here for so she should brace herself for the next wave of pain that was coming to totally destroy her heart.

"So, is that really it? You'll just discard me like I'm nothing but an old shirt that you don't want anymore? Am I really that worthless to you? How could you?" Her voice cracked when she uttered the last sentence.

He didn't answer while avoiding her gaze and that hurt her more. But she needed to continue and get it over with.

"If you really don't want me anymore, be a man and tell it straight to my face. I don't know why I need to hear that from you even though I'm sure that it will definitely break my heart but I know I will never get to move on without doing this." She wasn't even sure if she could move on from all of this after.

That was when Cross finally looked directly into her eyes and what she saw in those aquamarine eyes of his made her confuse. She expected to see coldness and hatred but she didn't.

"I will not say it. You will never hear me say it, Chloe. Never." Her eyes squinted in anger.

"You already took everything from me. Can't you at least give the closure that I need so that after this, I could start moving on from you? I just want you to say it out loud so that my stubborn heart will recognize that you shouldn't be the one remaining inside; that there's someone else better out there who is more deserving to stay with me." He shook his head as his fiery gaze didn't leave hers.

She raised her chin. "Then, I should start accepting that I have loved a coward and not a man." She turned her back on him and that was when her tears fell. It hurt. She was already expecting that she would get fùcking hurt like crazy but a tiny bit of her expected a miracle. But it seemed like miracles don't really exist.

She clearly recognized now that she should get out of there because there wasn't any reason left for her to stay anymore.

But to her surprise, he suddenly stopped her by the hand and trapped her between his arms against the big trunk of a tree and drew his face closer to hers until only a centimeter of space was separating their lips.

She found it hard to breath. Even after what just happened, his effect on her whenever he was near her didn't change. Her body was still screaming for him. She tried to gather herself together but it was as if she lost the capability to speak for a moment.

"You're making this very hard for me, Chloe." He uttered in an almost inaudible voice as his gaze never left hers. Her eyes turned into slits.

"You're a coward. You don't deserve my tears but look how they're still falling in front of you. Are you happy now seeing me miserable like this? You said that I wasn't stupid before, right? You were probably laughing at me behind my back for being so stupid and naïve for believing all your sh*t. I hate you for hurting me like this. I hate you." She wasn't yelling but her words were stern and full of resentment while her tears fell down her cheeks continuously.

An unknown emotion passed through his eyes but she couldn't pinpoint what it was.

"No. You don't hate me, cariño."

"Don't call me that! I hate you! I hate you—" Whatever she was about to say was cut short when he suddenly closed that remaining little space between their lips and claimed her lips. Her body went still as she didn't expect him to do that. How dare he kiss her as if he still had the right to?!

She pushed him and gave him another slap but he didn't even flinch while staring at her beggingly which surprised her. A while ago, he had that blank and unreadable expression on his face but now, it was as if he finally let his emotion show without holding back.

"Hit me all you want; I'll accept it because I deserve it for hurting you like this. But please don't tell me that you hate me because I can't take it. I can't..." He blinked innumerably as if he was trying his best to hold back his emotions but when he didn't succeed in doing so, he bowed down his head and rested his forehead on her shoulder.

That stunned and confused the hell out of her.

"Forgive me, cariño. I know I'm being a coward and spineless right now but..."

"But what? What is this trick you're trying to pull on me again, Cross? Please, have mercy on me and stop with all the acting and spewing lies." He cupped her face and stared into her eyes.

"I know that I don't have any right to ask anything from you but can you at least trust me for now?"

"Trust?! Are you joking, Cross?! You don't even know the meaning of the word! You're—"

"—I love you and I mean it." He emphasized it word by word.

"Stop lying!" She fumed.

"I'm not lying, cariño. I've never felt this way before and I knew I was in love when you began turning my world upside down. In my miserable world, you're the only good thing that ever happened to me and I won't be able to take it if you ended up hating me. I'm selfish, I know that very much but I can't help it. I love you too much that it's driving me crazy." Before she could process everything in her head, he already claimed her lips.

She expected for him to be rough but his kiss was full of gentleness, gently coaxing her to kiss him back. She knew that she had to get away from him before it was too late but everything became hazy as her body betrayed her.

She didn't know what happened as the next thing she knew; she was already naked as the day she was born as he worshipped her body like he had never done it before.

Cross was usually rough but gentle at the same time whenever they made love before but now, he was nothing but gentle as if she was the most precious thing that he needed to take care of but at the same time, making sure to mark her as his.

"Cross!" She couldn't hold back her scream of pleasure that erupted from her lips as he invaded her wet cave with his rock like warrior. The ecstasy almost robbed her off her breath.

"I love you, cariño. Only you." He then sealed her lips with his once again as if she was the very breath that he needed the most. It was such a sensual, passionate and hot kiss unlike anything that they ever shared before. And just like Cross, that drove her insane too.

But even though she was totally drowning in euphoria, there was a little sane part of her knew that after this, everything would probably never be the same again. She wasn't sure whether to believe the love that he was saying to her but her body acted as if it has a mind of its own, accepting Cross wholly even after everything.

"Please...don't say that...if you don't really mean it." She managed to say while panting when he finally let go of her lips. Yes, she was probably the most stupid woman right now but her love for Cross outweighed the anger and resentment she was feeling.

"If you don't want to believe my words, let me show you by my actions. I'll make love to you until you realize that no matter what happens, I belong to you and you belong to me." With that, he shifted his attention to her giggling breasts, his thrusts didn't falter. His hands felt like they were smoldering as he caressed her body erotically and her moans of pleasure became more audible.

She wasn't sure where this stupidity of hers would take her but she decided to just savor the moment because this might be their last. She mentally shook those thoughts away as she was becoming emotional again.

"Tell me you love you, cariño. Tell me that it's still me." His voice was almost begging. But instead of answering him, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him for another kiss. She didn't want to answer that while in the midst ecstasy.

He resumed ramming inside her, gradually getting faster and harder and she felt her peak coming like a unstoppable storm. He pounded into her with a steady rhythm and she held onto him while wailing as indescribable kind of pleasure boiled in the center of her femininity.

"Ohhh! It's coming!" She screamed against the crook of his neck as she held onto him tightly.

"Yes, cariño! I want you to c*m with me!" He drove into her like a cave man, making sure to bring her to her peak, driving her wild. Her eyes widened when he held himself to the hilt and exploded inside her. Her intense org*sm struck her at the same time.

"Cross!" She pulled on his hair as her body convulsed feverishly. She couldn't believe how good it felt and she almost lost consciousness. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly while making sure to deposit every drop of his hot essence inside her.

"I love you so much. Please, don't ever doubt that. A strong storm is coming our way and I hope, you will not give up on what we have. You're all I have so please, don't leave me." He then whispered to her full of emotions when they finally caught their breaths before raining butterfly kisses on her face.

She met his gaze and swallowed hard upon seeing him pleading her.
