Her hands instinctively reached to cup his face as Ariana slowly deepened the kiss. Tears rolled down her eyes as she closed them.
Ariana didn't want to hold back, not when she knew what she felt for Lucian. If she was not wrong, it was her heart that was already drawn to him even before she could understand what she felt for him.
Yes, she was upset with the way he hid his identity from her. However, now that she put herself into his shoes, Ariana could understand the fears he must've gone through, thinking about their future.
"Lucian, will you love me forever" she asked breaking the kiss for a second.
Ariana didn't stop crying. She was desperate to know even after knowing her reality, will he still love her.
Ariana was selfish. She wanted Lucian to love her despite how she tried to push him after knowing who he was. She was blinded by hate knowing how things turned different between them.
Yet, she wanted him to keep loving her.
