Chapter 181: Letting Her Know
Viviana wouldn’t know what the love of a man for a woman would be like. She had no experience. But the way he acts made her believe that this probably is love.
Leander smiled looking at her. She’s reverted back to calling him Kastello. But he did not care. She is right. He is in love with her. And he did not feel pathetic at all.
She is who she is. Her past was the burning fuel for the passion and guided her to the edge of the ledge that day, soaked in his brother’s blood. And his loyalty to his family guided him to that terrace to be the dangerous avenger for the sake of his family.
But they are not the same now. Not even a little.
Something got between them. Something stopped him from hurting her and he even went as far as to save her. He had a feeling that it was not something simple.
He doesn’t know a lot still. But he knew a little.
She wouldn’t have told him that day that she trusted him. And he wouldn’t have been able to say that he loves her.
But this is where they are now.
The intense feeling he has towards her... it’s not some obsession or possessiveness. It’s not just mere protective instinct either. She never asked him to protect her. All she asks is to kill her.
What he feels for her is more profound than all those deep emotions. It’s deeper than all that. It’s...
It is love. The love a man has for a woman. Something that poets and writers wrote about. Something unstoppable, and something uncontrollable.
He still doesn’t know how to deal with it. Usually, being in love ends up in getting married to that person. But he is already married to her.
