Chapter 182: His Regrets
(Karsten)
All my fears had come true; not only had she fallen in love with me, but somehow she had found the truths I had been trying to hide.
When we had decided to hire her, I had no clue she was already engaged, nor did I know her engagement had ended.
I learnt from her in the first meeting as Azul that someone had broken her heart. I had thought a woman like her would be looking for revenge and not love, so she was perfect to fill in the role of what I needed.
A fake girlfriend as I had already hired her for that role.
But the situation escalated out of control for both of us. I didn’t even realise how she crept into my soul and I embedded herself in my heart.
She didn’t touch me—she occupied me, leaving no space for anyone else.
When she accused me of breaking up her engagement I wanted to beg, to take her in my arms and apologise for the heartbreak I had caused her.
I had broken her trust on so many levels and I was ashamed of that. She had every right to be mad at me and I was going to make up to her.
But then she confessed her love for me, making me freeze. The air vacated my lungs and my mind went blank for a second.
She was in love with me?
