"WHAT! YOU RAN AWAY" Ariana's voice echoed inside the room. Her eyes disbelievingly staring at Luke who simply downcast his eyes in shame.
"I couldn't...I didn't want Alex to say it was a mistake or label it as a one-night stand" Luke covered his face defeatedly and looked up.
He was helpless when it came to Alex's refuting words.
Luke couldn't stand the way he would look at him after making the deeds. For him, it was always precious and memorable but Alex... he would crush all those beautiful moments by terming it as a one-night stand.
So before he could confront him, Luke thought it was better to leave before Alex crushed his heart mercilessly.
Ariana blinked her eyes but soon realized how much Luke was affected from the inside. He was the happiest guy she ever came across, but watching him feel helpless broke her heart.
She could somehow relate to him. After all, even at some point, Ariana refused to accept Lucian and started judging him.
