"I will never be with you, TJ."
Jeremy heard her as he closed the door. Her low voice filled with resentment made him feel like a thousand daggers got lodged in his heart.
"I know," he spoke under his breath rubbing his chest. He leaned on the wall closing his eyes. The pain in his heart escaped as a sigh.
"I know, I'll never be with you. But still, be with me for a while."
He saw how much damage he had done to her unwittingly. He knew he broke her. He won't expect her to stay with him forever.
He cried tears of remorse.
"I'm sorry. Please allow me to atone for what I've done. I'll even offer my life."
He wiped the corner of his eye.
He knew it all and yet he still wished for her to be with him. Even it is for some time he wanted to call her 'his wife'.
"Just let me look at you for a little longer."
He walked to the reception and informed Mr. Davis that he can visit Jerlina now.
