"Kiara, I don't want to keep any scope of misunderstanding between us so I want to let you know everything beforehand. I respect your feelings but I am not… I am not very sure about how I feel for you. I… I despise Iren for what she did to me but my love for her… hasn't died." Ayden pulled back his hand from Kiara's as he touched Irene's topic. "It's something that is beyond my control. I don't even want to think about her but…"
"I understand, Ayden. Even if you had not said it, I know… I know you still love Irene," Kiara said.
Ayden was not surprised upon hearing that. Kiara's maturity was slowly beginning to pull him toward her. The endearing simplicity in Kiara's thoughts and her undivided attention and affection for him was pleasing to him.
