Chapter 30

Amelia's POV

"I love you, little one."

When he said this my body tensed. This what I wanted to hear from him ever since I met him. And now that he said it, I don't know what I have to say.

"Xavier, I-I" I stuttered. "Shh, little one. You don't have to say anything. Just listen to what I have to say first." He was in sitting in his knees while cupping my face.

"I was such a fool to not accept my feelings, for you. In all honesty, I had feelings for you, little one. Since the moment I saw you, I was starting to develop feelings for you.

But I was afraid. I had built this wall around my heart, after my mum left. I thought everyone will leave me. But you started to break those walls.

No matter how strong I build it, you were breaking them with just mere looks. And that scared me. I thought you will eventually leave me.

But you didn't. No matter how much I pushed you, you stayed. You never left. You always find your back to me, little one.

So please, little one.
