Chapter 45: I Don’t Want to Forget
[~Song Recommendation: To The Bone by Pamungkas~]
"What if I don’t want to forget that night? What if I don’t want us to stop here? I don’t want to let go of you, Cammy..."
Cammy couldn’t stop those words from echoing in her mind. ’No, he didn’t say that. It’s all just my imagination!’ she tried convincing herself.
When Greg glanced at Cammy, she was already staring at him, speechless and stunned. He noticed the fury had left her eyes, replaced by a softer look... yet tears were welling up once again.
Taking her left hand, Greg said, "You said you wanted revenge on your ex-husband, right? Let me help you. If this is the only way that you would let me stay by your side then so be it."
Cammy’s emotions were a whirlwind—one moment she was angry and scared, then confused and touched, only to circle back to frustration.
"You don’t want to help me, Greg. You just need someone to use against Annie. This is about your bruised ego and pride, crushed by her. And you think I’m the perfect tool for your revenge. Tell me, Greg—do you know who I was when I first came to your villa?" Cammy asked, her voice steady and bold.
"No, I had no clue who you were. If I had, it wouldn’t have taken me so long to find you. But yesterday, I learned the truth about who you really are. I wanted to ask the same question, how did you find out about Annie?"
"My friend showed me a video of her talking about how you ruined her life. But even before that, I already knew Annie from some social events. I caught them myself at our vacation home that night, naked and everything. So, imagine my surprise when I found out she was your fiancée.
The words you said back at the villa about helping me with my revenge hit me all over again when I saw that video. This was always about your revenge, Greg. So stop pretending you’re trying to help me."
Greg was left speechless. She was right in some parts, but also wrong at the same time. Deep down, he knew it wasn’t just about that. There was something more... It was a deep-rooted feeling and connection with her that he just couldn’t decipher at the moment.
