Chapter 36

• Zayne
• I pull away from Maija, even though I don't want to since I’m so hard. I want her so badly, and she is finally giving herself to me, but my conscience won’t let me give in. I have to ensure she is ok. I followed her because something about how she looked felt off, and when she started running, I knew something was wrong. Yet I can’t believe the truth, that asshole had my world, the love of my life, in his hands, but instead of cherishing her, he broke her heart.
• “I would never hurt you, my love, if only you would choose me,” I whisper more to myself than her.
