Chapter 260: Lucky
“Do you know why I consider myself to be very lucky?” Zak asked, his eyes dead serious.
I knew that whatever made him lucky was not related to the Rosenhall family or any materialistic things that he had.
“No...” I replied in short. The atmosphere did not allow for senseless guessing.
“I found, at a very young age, the girl of my dreams. I watched that girl grow up to be the woman of my dreams, my lover and then the love of my life,” Zak said with a smile, his serious eyes never leaving my face.
I didn’t have to guess who he was referring to. I opened my mouth a little before I realized that I didn’t have anything to say, so I closed it.
“I believe that not everyone will ever find or meet the love of their lives. Since I met you, I consider myself to be extremely lucky. Because I had a chance to love you, no matter how short the time we could be together, I consider myself extremely lucky,” Zak continued explaining seriously.
“Zak...” I whispered his name as I felt tears sting my eyes. I’m about to cry...
“It doesn’t bother me if there is someone else in your heart or if you have decided to spend your life with someone else. However, asking me to stop loving you and forming a relationship with someone else is really just crossing the line, don’t you think?” Zak said, his golden eyes narrowing at me.
Zak...he’s so hurt. My words hurted him...
“I...” I said softly; however, I couldn’t properly apologize. No apology would be enough to heal the hurt that I’ve caused Zak with my inconsiderate words.
“I’m not angry. I just wanted you to know that I can’t have a normal marriage with Annie or with anyone else. I know that you mean well but I’m not willing to change the feelings that I have for you. I love you, Natalia. I don’t love anyone else,” Zak said, and his words were absolute.
