Chapter 39

• Alexis looked hard at him as the room was as silent as the dead of the night, her face not readable. She tried to speak, she opened her mouth but nothing came out. She immediately closed it before it got noticed by Matthew, still her thoughts not settled as she processed the matter still pending a conversation
• Matthew looked at her intensely, his heart ponding like someone awaiting a judge’s decision in a court. “I’m so sorry it’s come to this,” he whispered. “I know you are with Haven and I love you two together, but I’ll never want to come in between both of you two. It was never my intention for all these to happen. But it was burning inside me and I didn’t have any other choices.”
• Alexis turned her face away from Matthew, looking like she was sinking in a bottomless hole. She didn’t want to see Matthew who was so confident and strong look so vulnerable and hurt. It’s agonizing to see this change pin him down so hard that he has no way out, but she knew she had to be straight and blunt.
