Isabella's POV
The thing about telling a lie is the fact that the truth always comes out in the end and when it does, it hit you so hard and like a bullet, it would always leave a reminder.
My relationship with Drey significantly improved since I confessed my feelings to him. If I'd known that would bring us closer, then I would have done it sooner. It was just that I wasn't sure about what I felt before, but I was now and the fact that he accepted my feelings simply made everything beautiful.
Drey allowed me to visit the city whenever I wanted to. He never accompanied me during the day and I never asked why because I had told him that I would wait for him to trust me enough. I believed that when that happens, he would share his story, secrets and pains with me.
