Chapter-106

Author's POV

When she rushed out of the basement, a part of him already died. He knew this was it. Maybe, this is how it is. Probably this is how it ends.

He didn't want them to end up like this. Too bad he imagined a happily ever after with her. He thought he'd marry her and have as many kids as possible. He really thought they'd grow old together.

Poor heart, it broke again, all over again.

He wanted to cry. But he couldn't. The lump in his throat made it painful for him to even breathe. It was really painful.

Not even for a second did he blink his eyes. He was afraid that she might disappear the second he closed his eyes. Still, she disappeared. And this time, it was for real and for eternity.

His tears-filled blue eyes took in her beautiful face. He wanted to die in her arms. Better, if he took his last breath lying on her lap. He wanted that. But he knew.

She wouldn't live after witnessing it. He knew how badly she was abused. He knew how traumatized she was. He didn't want to add to her trauma.

He was happy that he got to see her for one last time. He was happy that he fulfilled his promise.

Although a big part of him wanted to live, to fight for her.. he didn't.

Somebody has to pay for the karma and it happens to be him.

He even cried but no voices escaped his lips. He wanted to tell her so many things but couldn't. The way she was crying, the way she begged Donovan for his life made him dumbstruck. He had no words to describe that girl's kindness.

When Donovan walked inside the basement crying, he knew she had gone. She had left him for eternity.

He definitely regrets so many things. Most importantly he regrets all the bad things he did to her.

When Donovan aimed the gun at him, so many things were running in his mind.

This is it...?

I am going to die..

I cannot see her...

I cannot be with her...

I cannot spend time with her.

Who's going to protect her from that monster of an abuser??

Who's gonna love her...?

What if something happens to her..?

What if someone hurts my Rose??

Denise...Denise will protect her.

He will not forget his promise.

But still...

I won't be there...

I promised to be there...

" I love you, Rose...." he mumbled under his breath.

And the bullets pierced through his body.

It should've hurt him. But it didn't. He was already in great pain. And this physical pain was nothing compared to the pain that he was feeling inside his heart.

It was nothing.

His breathing strained. And he knew, this it is.

His eyes slowly closed, and a painful gasp escaped his lips. He tried to open his eyes but couldn't.
