Chleo's grip on Max's shirt tightened as if he was afraid Max would push her to death.
"Are you thinking I'm going to let you go?"
Chleo didn't answer, and she just sobbed in front of the young man's chest. Neither did she argue because what this man said was true.
She had thought Max was going to hurt her. She had thought this man would let her go and let her die to get his revenge.
"This is why I can't believe you, Chleo. If the one by your side right now were Alexis, you wouldn't be this scared. You said you love me, but your heart feels more secure with Alexis. You've given all of your everything to Alexis."
"Sob… no. That's not true. Sob… I love you." Chleo tightened her grip even more.
