"Since you know everything, why didn't you do anything?"
"What should I have done? Run away from the wedding? Christian, actually, I should be asking you: how dare you? Run away from the wedding—how could you? Don't you understand what this wedding means? If it doesn't happen on time, the penalty for breach of contract won't be small, and with the stock market in turmoil, have you calculated how much the losses would be?"
"Just because of that?"
"What else?"
Killian clenched his fists and took a deep breath.
"If I say I won't go with her, would you believe me?" I shook my head.
"Adults don't talk about 'ifs.' Since you're already here, we might as well discuss the next steps. My idea is to take it slow, gradually break things off. Our joint investments and properties, we can continue with. Of course, if you want to exit, I'll take over everything. But the amount of money involved is huge, it may need to be done in installments. Unless you can't wait…"
"Amya!"
"Hmm?"
"I need time!"
I hesitated for a few seconds before asking uncertainly, "What?"
Killian looked up at me.
His gaze was calm, too calm, almost sad.
He said, "I can't forget. Ariella... the past, I can't forget!" It felt as though a knife had stabbed my heart. The knife had barbs.
When it was pulled out, it tore through my flesh. He said… he couldn't forget.
An answer I already knew deep down.
But when he said it himself, the impact was still devastating.
