Chapter 43

• Jason moved closer to Maya, seeing how she stood still in shock without saying a word, he snaked his hands around her waist from behind making her to turn facing him."Please do me the honor of being my woman," he said as he pointed his hand to the words written boldly and smoothly on the sand.
• Maya broke out of her daze and dragged in a hasty breath, staring Jason deep into his eyes she said." When you presented me the divorce papers five years ago, l felt my whole world was crashing, since the day l set my eyes on you, l have loved you with every fiber in me but what did I get in return, pains!. You treated me like l was some trash you picked from the slum, l agree l married you even though you kicked against it, maybe l shouldn't have forced my love on you. All l wanted back then was for you to reciprocate my love for you, You treated me in the worse ways you deemed fit but l still stayed!. I wanted our marriage to work, l wanted you to make love to me so badly in the most romantic way and not force yourself on me. When you presented the divorce papers and forced yourself on me that night like you always do, l realized there was no need holding on to you, holding on to the man that doesn't know my worth, l felt like you were never going to love me. I had fought myself so hard to hate you but then you came into my life again and all the feelings l thought was long gone resurfaced and l couldn't help but fall deeper and deeper in love with you, I'm done fighting my feelings,"
• Jason's stomach twisted at her words. He swallowed painfully as he once again regretted his actions in the past. He knew it wouldn't be easy for Maya to forget about the past but he thought they were making progress. He admitted back then he took Maya's love for granted and treated her like a plague, they never had a consensual sex as he always forced himself on her, he poured out his frustrations on her and treated her like trash. Unfortunately he realized how much she meant to him when she left after signing the divorce paper
