Semua Bab Clandestine Affair: Bab 1 - Bab 6

Anger overtook my chest, followed by the crazy pressure pressing until I almost forgot how to breathe.I should have realized the consequences, I should have paid attention to the signs, I should have listened to my friends, and I should not have listened to my heart that was too infatuated with him. I've always been the most logical person, considering everything. But that doesn't apply to Maven... that guy is the only anomaly that makes me stupid.Many 'what ifs' and 'shoulds' are now floating around in my head. All those regrets came brutally, taunting me about how stupid I was for this man."If you're tired of me, Maven. You can say so, and we can end things." I swallowed, trying to push away the lump of emotion clogging my throat. "You don't have to cheat and sleep with her when we're still together. I'll set you free, it's that easy. I know that I don't deserve you, and I'm not as perfect as Alice, so I won't keep you."The heat behind my eyes was the threat of tears coming. I t
