Collins Aiden's arms tightened continuously, pressing her trembling body firmly into his embrace.
In his ears, all he could hear were the words she had just screamed out.
She felt tainted, yet she didn't know that the person who made her feel tainted was right in front of her.
The man she hated... was him!
"What nonsense are you talking about? You have no idea what I mean, I was by someone, by someone..." Ella Jackson couldn't push Collins Aiden away; tears kept falling, and the last few words just wouldn't come out.
"Collins Aiden, I feel so dirty, do you know that? I feel so dirty!" Her frail body shivered continuously, wanting to curl up to protect herself, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Not dirty... My Ella isn't dirty at all." Collins Aiden straightened her body, his clear eyes staring unwaveringly at her pale cheeks, he bowed his head, wanting to kiss her lips.
The tears from the corners of Ella's eyes rolled down in an instant.
