"You're not comfortable with me. Do you hate me that much?"

He broke the silence.

Leila shifted her gaze to him.

The waiter brought their appetizer.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Enjoy your meal."

Leila fixed him with a penetrating stare.

Was he dying anytime soon?

So why did he care now?

Leila raised her eyebrows.

"Why did you care? Why did it matter now?"

She had loved him, and what did she get in return?

He had caused her a lot of pain. It was crazy that she had to endure it even when it was killing her.

She had stayed and continued with work.

She blinked back tears.

"I hate you. With every ounce of my breath."

Did he want to play her again as he did last time?Would he make her go insane?It's so insane to tell her now he loved her. For someone who had played her, it felt untrue."Do you have to say that to play me again?"Would he have to lie against love now just to sleep with her again?What did he take her for?Did he think he would fall for his words?She laughed."What? Am I just a fool to you?"She would never fall into his trap this time.David was quite shocked to see her laughing. Was he a joke to her?

    Leila adjusted herself. His face looked serious. What did he want to say to her?Was he going to tell her about David?Did something happen to David? Her heart started beating fast."I..I.I have."He stuttered and was almost reaching for Leila's hands. But he stooped when he heard footsteps."I forgot one of my crayons."Jane picked up a crayon from the floor and ran off."What do you want to tell me?"Leila asked him. Her gaze was sharp as nails. It felt like she would die of curiosity."I want to tell you that... I now know the reason why David has changed."He lied. He shut his eyes. He was disappointed in himself. He could not muster enough courage to tell her how he felt about her.He loved her so much, and it was painful he couldn't tell her how he felt. Today was the day he had planned to tell her but now he could not even tell her.He had never had a real connection with anyone as he had had with Leila. He wanted her as his wife.

She visited me recently."Collins had assumed Ariel was his lover when he saw her in the kitchen preparing food for David.Leila shut her eyes. She pressed her eyes with the heels of her palm. She had let her emotions overwhelm her. She was disappointed in herself for getting angry at him for nothing."I know it's hard for you to trust me. I understand."She stared deeply into his blue eyes. She had never loved anyone as he loved David.But why was she scared she would get hurt again? What if he broke her heart again?It was as though he could see through her mind from her eyes."I am genuinely sorry for all the pains

    Anna was sure Valerie had seen something."If you had seen the innocent Collins, you would feel pity for him. I thought it was cruel of Valerie to say that. I was angry.""You didn't ask her why she said you could kill if need be?"Anna asked Silas."She said I would know if the time comes."Silas answered and continued."I flared up and told her she shouldn't have adopted him if she could not show him care and love. Our parents didn't raise us to be cruel."David didn't say anything. He was just listening attentively. He knew Silas was going somewhere."I raised Collins. He was a sweet boy, I thought he would be aggressive. It baffled me I didn't see anything strange about his behavior."He paused and continued."My anger at Valerie intensified. I thought she said all those mean things about Collins because she didn't want to take responsibility for him.

    She meant it."If David had not caught us, I would have slapped your dirty face. You have no shame!"She spat. He disgusted her.Collins exhaled deeply."Well, there's nothing you can do about it. If you do not want me, I want you. Jane would not have died if you did what asked you to do.""Get my niece's name out of your decaying mouth.""Should I brief you on how she died?"His lips curved into a smile."I also bound her to the same chair you are currently bound to. She begged me to take her out of this creepy place. She cried for her mummy and Aunt."Leila stared dagger at him. If eyes could kill, hers could have killed Collins by now."She was scared, she hugged me, I had no other choice. When I thought of you and David fucking, it made my heart bleed, and there was no room for mercy."He paused. He bent over Leila.

He was lost. He wanted to be sure David had not mentioned the wrong name."Yes. I found out...he deceived us all."Scarlet was sure she had not misheard him.

Collins had the most innocent face that concealed his darkest heart.He slipped his hand into his back pocket and brought out Jane's journal.He handed it over to her. Scarlet collected it.
