What, if you will break up with me in the future, Alex, she asked worriedly cuddling into my chest.

Sweetheart, why would you ever think that? I asked caressing her hair.

It's just that, many people that I had given my trust have betrayed me, she said sadly looking at my eyes.

Love of my life, I promise you ,I won't act like those people, I love you, I said kissing her forehead.

I love you too Alex, she said with half open eyes, yawning.

Sleep tight baby girl, I whispered hugging her tightly.

I sighed and thought about the things that Kate told me few moments ago. Her fear is true, and I feel like a coward because I was gonna betray her just like those people she met in her past.

Thank God, I fell in love with her, and I choose not to break her heart. I can't even think of hurting the innocent angel sleeping tightly in my arms.

Love can be a beautiful, transformative force that brings joy and happiness to our lives. However, for Kate, it was accompanied by a lingering fear that threatened to overshadow her newfound happiness.

Her past experiences had left her with trust issues, making her question the longevity of her relationship with Alex. This fear of being abandoned haunted her.

Until I convinced her that I I won't hurt her, Kate hadn't had peace in her mind.

The wounds from her past relationships had not fully healed, and as a result, she found it challenging to trust others, especially when it came to matters of the heart. She carried the weight of her past as a constant reminder that love could be fleeting, leaving her alone and broken.

I felt so angry towards those people who broke my princess's heart. I feel like punching until they are taking the last breath.
