Chapter 339: First Love Hurts
Cyrus!
Ah... My heart still flutters hearing that name!
Elizabeth closed her eyes as she remembered that charming boy she met one night on her way back from school. Although Archie always warned her not to get close to him, her curiosity got the better of her and she slept with him.
And, she fell in love with him!
He was like a bright light. Like a pitiful moth, she tried to get closer to him, but she was scorched every time she tried to get closer and yet she couldn’t give up. He left and years passed. She thought she’d get over him, but no matter how many men she embraced, those blue eyes were the ones that lingered in her heart and his gentle smile he had for her when he kissed her forehead that night still gave butterflies in her stomach. She thought when he returned years later, she’d have a chance but got rejected once again. She created a rumour and thought that would interest him, but he never gave a glance at her.
First love!
For one day she was in his embrace but she became addicted to him. She was willing to lose anything to be with him, but he didn’t give her a second glance.
She really thought of him as a mighty Knight... His wisdom was his sword and he protected his Princess with all his might. He took any maiden willing to be in his embrace for a night but was flowing freely like a river without settling for one. She was willing to accept that he cannot settle with a woman.
But no... Even he could find a woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with – Camilla. She watched him going on dates with her and laughing with her.
He could see a future with her, but not with me. Why? How am I inferior to her?
She had mulled over that thought. She was jealous of Camilla and she thought she hated her. But she never wished harm on her. She wanted to know why he couldn’t love her. But she couldn’t find an answer. He died and she will never get the answer.
