Evander's POV
I finally understood why Claire had left me three years ago. It was my own neglect and stubbornness that had driven her away— the mistakes I made over and over that tore us apart. But now, I wasn't going to let anything come between us— not even Claire herself. I would do whatever it took to make things right.
"You thought you could just end this on your own?" I softened my tone as I shifted a bit closer toward her. "Well, I am not ready to let you go, Claire. I never stopped loving you, and I don't plan to start now. Until I say otherwise, there won't be any divorce. I won't let you walk away."
I looked into her eyes, hoping she would see the truth that I was finally able to admit. "And believe me… there won't be a day when I stop loving you."
She sat there silently, looking as if my words were true or if I was just bluffing. But I had never lied to Claire in my life, unless necessary.
