Chapter 99 - 98 - She said yes

Maria really had never set foot again in Alaia's castle. Not even once in the whole five years since she had an argument with Alaia. The satchel bag that the blonde threw on Alaia's face was still on Alaia. She was keeping it in her room, staring at it every night. It was already empty. She can no longer remember what was inside it five years ago, but she can still remember how Maria looked when she cried and the words she had uttered that day. Every night, guilt was hunting her and giving her a hard time sleeping. But Alaia had never done anything to get rid of that guilt. She had never stepped outside her castle to apologize to the blonde. She had never done anything to make Maria feel that she was regretting what she said back then. She had just stayed inside her castle, drowning herself in loneliness.
