Hayden never held back. He always said exactly what he felt, and now his words cut deep-he honestly thought |
still had feelings for Jace.
Since we got together, I'd kept my distance from Jace, worried our past might mess things up with Hayden. But
clearly, I'd slipped up. I'd made him feel like he didn't have all of me.
This wasn't just aboutgiving Jace blood. Hayden had been carrying this around for a while, something he'd
been feeling long before now.
"All this time, you've thought | didn't love you enough? let out a bitter laugh. "If that's true, then maybe 1 don't
even know how to love anymore.
"If you really loved me, you wouldn't have been so quick to suggest breaking up," he said, his voice low.
my eyes, frustration boiling over. "I told you that was justtalking out of anger.
| gave a tired smile and added, "It was a heat-of-the-moment thing, but you jumped at the chance to agree. So,
Hayden, should | start thinking you never really wantedin the first place?" That old saying, "when you want
to blsomeone, any excuse will do," had never felt more true. When
you're determined to find fault, even the tiniest thing gets blown up.
Hayden's eyes narrowed slightly. "If that's how you feel, maybe breaking up is the right choice."

1 let go of his hand. "So, breaking up is the right thing, huh? Is that really what you want?"
Hayden's throat bobbed as he swallowed, but before he could answer, | laughed bitterly. "I get it. You're the heir
to the Hart family now.
"You probably think someone likeisn't good enough anymore, right?
"Or maybe it's because | used to be Jace's fiancée, and being withwould just make people talk."
This kind of baseless suspicion? | hated it.
And yet, here | was, falling right into it.
"Is that what you think?" Hayden's voice dropped, turning cold.
"What else am | supposed to think? I've explained everything, and you're still clinging to it. You obviously just
want to end things, so what am | supposed to believe?" | felt myself unraveling, turning into the kind of person |
swore | wouldn't be-emotional, irrational. "Fine. If that's what you think, then so be it," he replied, his tone slicing
through the tension.
| stared at him, my lips trembling, but the words wouldn't come.
The pressure in my chest was unbearable, like something hot and sharp was lodged in my throat. After what felt
like forever, | finally whispered, "So you really want to break up, don't you?" Chapter 480

Yes,
That one word, so simple and final, pierced right through me. | couldn't breathe.
My nails dug into my palms as | clenched my fists. "Fine."

him one word back, hanging on to whatever pride | had left.
If he didn't want to be with me, still caught up in this mess over Jace, | could've kept trying to explain. But if he
thought | wasn't good enough anymore, what was the point? Was | supposed to beg?
