Chapter 8 - chapter 8: The Harsh Truth

Charis' face contorted in anguish, his eyes blazing with tears. "Look at me, I'm a monster!" he exclaimed, his voice cracking with emotion.

Nita stood her ground, her voice firm but gentle. "You're not a monster, Charis. You're lost, and I'm here to help you find your way back."

But Charis' anger and hurt wouldn't be assuaged. "Why did you have to leave me?" he shouted, his pain and betrayal evident. "Why did you have to abandon me in my darkness?"

Nita's expression remained calm, but her words cut deep. "I left to save my family, Charis. And I didn't abandon you. I came back for you. But you were too far gone, consumed by your own darkness. Valentin came for me, risked his life to save me, because he loves me. But you...you stayed here, killing everyone in your path."

The truth hit Charis like a slap in the face. He stumbled back, his eyes wide with shock and shame. For the first time, he saw the destruction he had wrought, the lives he had ruined. And in that moment, he knew Nita was right. He was a monster, but he didn't have to remain one.

In tears, Charis rushed to his room.

Nita went to her room which she had so much missed, she took a warm bath and put on her night wear and walked towards her bed when she heard a voice from her room balcony, It was Valentin, her heart raced as his words hung in the air. "I can't let you go, I love you." Her own feelings mirrored his, and she whispered back, "I love you too, Valentin."

As they drew closer, their eyes locked in a passionate gaze. Valentin's whispers sent shivers down her spine. "I've never loved anyone, Nita, but I love you."

Their lips met in a tender, yet fiery kiss. Valentin's hands roamed her body, his fingers tracing her curves as he gently pushed her towards the bed. Nita's resistance melted away, her desire for him overwhelming her senses.

In that moment, they forgot about Charis, forgot about the darkness that had consumed him. All that mattered was their love, their hearts beating as one.

As they sank into the bed, their love became the only truth that mattered. They knew their love was forbidden, but they couldn't help themselves. They were lost in each other's embrace, their love shining like a beacon in the darkness.

Charis walks into Nita's room, his eyes blazed with anger as he took in the scene before him. Nita and Valentin, entwined in each other's arms, their love evident in their tender gaze.

"Why have you done this, Nita?" Charis demanded, his voice low and menacing.

Nita's eyes met his, her voice steady. "I love you both, and I want you both. I can't choose between you two."

The room fell silent, the tension palpable. Then, something unexpected happened.

Valentin spoke up, his voice calm and resolute. "I accept this, Nita. I'm ready to be in a love triangle with you and Charis."

Charis's eyes widened in shock and anger then he looked at Nita and realized he could only but accept this forbiden love and be a part of it or loose it all. So he nodded. "I accept it too. I love you, Nita, and I'll share you with Valentine if that's what you desire."

Nita's heart swelled with emotion as she gazed at the two men she loved. "Thank you, both," she whispered. "Let's make this work, together."

And with that, the unlikely trio embarked on a journey of love, acceptance, and discovery, their bond stronger than any obstacle that came their way.
