“And you? What are you going to do?” I asked quietly.
His head snapped up; fear was an apparent mask on his
face. I had my answer, without him even having to say the
words. My heart crash landed at my feet.
Maddox tried to reach for me, but I pushed away. “You
lied to me about her. The moment you found out she was
pregnant with your baby, why didn’t you tell me?”
“I didn’t know how,” he breathed. “I didn’t want to lose
you.”
“It was simple. You just had to tell me the truth, that’s
all I’ve ever asked from you.”
His legs gave out, and he sat on the bed, his head in his
hands, a choked sound coming from him.
“You’re the best unplanned thing that has ever
happened to me, Maddox. And I can’t lose you. But you’re
doing everything to push… me away from you,” I
whispered, my voice breaking at the end. “You’ve been
telling lies, keeping secrets. Since when have you started
lying to me, Maddox?”
I already had the answer to that question. Months… and
months of secrets.
After everything we had been through… he tainted
everything that we were with his lies.
“You said you didn’t want to lose me. But you already
have,” I whispered, my voice faltering, as I spoke the
hardest words in my life.
His head snapped up, and his eyes flared with torment.
He was decadently handsome, a little bit broken and a
mistake from the beginning.
“I’m sorry,” he choked out.
“Is that all you have to say?”
There was tears in his eyes. “I’m sorry.”
If it hurts you so much, what kind of love is this?
I knew Maddox would break my heart, but a part of me
hoped he wouldn’t.
