Chapter 195

Edwina's POV...

It felt like my blood had run dry when Xander told me about Ben's death. Blood rushed through my ear, and I didn't want to believe what I had just heard. Ben had been a major tormentor in my life, but a treacherous part of my heart still held long feelings for him.

His death made something strike my heart that made me shriek in pain. Xander almost fell to the ground as he jumped off the bed to fetch me some water.

"Here!" He handed the filled glass to me, his eyes darting back and forth in worry.

I gulped down the content, trying to breathe steadily. My throat itched from all the tears I had been pumping out all day and night. I felt not just physically exhausted, but my soul was too.

Ben was the first person I would ever fall in love with, despite his bad attitude towards me. It still didn't put off the fact that my mind and body yearned for him.

"You okay?" Xander inquired.

I tried to compose myself and not end up expressing or giving off my heartful thoughts to him.
