Anna's entire body stiffened. She became tensed and Cade felt it. He knew he should not have said it but he does not regret, not one bit.

"You don't have to say it back, Anna. I just want you to know." He whispered to her, his voice hoarse and raspy. Anna remained silent for a while, still trying to digest the news. Lots of questions swarmed in her mind. Since when has he been in love with her, Why is he in love with her? How can he be in love with her? All they do is fight and argue with one another. He believed her to be a spoilt princess while she believed him to be a manwhore.
