Chapter 85 Mr Blackwood Confesses

• I stood there, with my body against his, completely speechless. I had no idea what to say or do. On one hand, I had looked forward to hearing him say this for months, on the other hand, it scared me to hear those words. A part of me had dreaded this day, even though it felt impossible.
• “Max… What… What are you saying?” I stuttered. This had to be a joke, he can't possibly be in love with me, this is Maxwell Blackwood we are talking about.
• “I am serious, Anna. I know I have said horrible things to your face, I acknowledge I said this would never happen but I couldn’t stop it, Anna. This thing I feel for you is love, I know it. I can't help but get lost around you, the thought of you living rent free in my head, you make me feel in a way no one has ever done. I love you, Annabel Joseph,” he whispered as he cupped my face.
