Chapter 69 My Doing

• Rico's POV
• It felt like betrayal… what I was doing. I had continued my life after that goodbye sex with her, convincing myself that it was the end. But at the last minute, I changed my mind. Killing her would bring nothing but pain a pain I wasn’t ready to admit to anyone, not even myself.
• Even if I tried, I knew I could never bring myself to do it. I might downplay our connection as purely physical, but the mere thought of her dying was enough to shift my entire mood. It unsettled me in ways I didn’t want to confront.
