Chapter 124
"I have known for some time now what I felt for you. I have recently tried to admit it but you misunderstood. It is not fair to you that you do not know there is someone who has feelings for you nearby. I will never act upon my feelings and make you feel uncomfortable. I never had any intentions of trying something but you must know," said Zayne.
"Have I broken you?" Zayne wondered, snapping his fingers to wake Rose.
It could have been the biggest mistake he ever made or maybe this confession would push them in a good direction.
"Why? I don’t have anything to offer you. I am only a maid and I have not been one long. I do not understand," Rose replied, puzzled by Zayne’s feelings.
It wasn’t that long ago she had been telling the women that she was not a woman Zayne would court. He had stated in the beginning that she came with too much trouble and Rose agreed with him.
There were never any signs to Rose that Zayne liked her or had she just been blind to it?
