Being reincarnated as the 2nd male lead's daughter

tell her everything

Karl's pov

With those thoughts in mind I reached out to grab her wrist, which I did and stopped her successfully.

I held her shoulders,so she couldn't look back .
I couldn't bear to see her face , at all.
I didn't wanna knew what her expression were going to be , my eyes were glued to the floor.
It was my first time , I'll be sharing it with someone by myself.
"I want to talk it out , will you listen" I asked her

"Hmm,speak up"

"Just a question, will you hate me "

"Depends on the reason "

"I have been through depression "
I wanted her to talk but maybe not. I was scared ,too scared . I have always been described as someone I never was . The efforts I put to live upto the names given . No body knew about it .

"How " her voice sounded dull.
But I wanted to explain I'll have to .

"Father was never there in first place , I was scared to burden brother. It got too hard , I could not help it . There was no purpose in life , I had friends and family but I could not share , layer after layer , It all happened. I was scared ,too scared of , if I were to tell , wouldn't I be a disgrace to name of Striphen. A guy who got depressed over what ? nothing , he is just a weakling. "
Before I could realise tears made their way from my eyes they were falling onto ground. But I continued. I wanted to tell her EVERYTHING, I have been holding back . I realise I trusted her too much .
I loosened my grip , I didn't want to hurt her .

"Brother got married, my sister in law did try to help me ,but it was all too much to clear by herself, It was like Marsh , the more I was striving to move myself, the more I was settling down , I was scared ,to pull her in it too. The best was for me to be away , the outbreak happened, I went away . I killed and killed and killed until my consciousness got knocked out .
To people it was a act of bravery, but to me it wasn't. I can't shape the feeling in words . I was defeated,even when I never lost . I was tired even when I didn't work .
Confusing isn't it . Then my course of life changed brother was no more , sister in law was pregnant with aurelia, how could I be weak infront of a woman who lost her husband .Even if I wanted to ,I could not express, other than crying myself to sleep , letting the agony out in aura . Sister in law died while giving birth to lia , I felt miserable for the child , she was left with someone who can't even take care of himself. Her sleeping face was a therapy to me I knew ,I wanted to get going till this child was infront of me , if something were to happen to her , I might as well as die . I want to be selfish this once , I want to ask you to stay if not for me but please for the child . I beg you. Don't hate me please."

My hands fell from her shoulders , tears were streaming down my face , I finally talked it out , I didn't dare to look up my eyes were fixated on her feet which were now towards me . She walked away .
She was gone I thought for a moment only to realise her coming back with a handkerchief.

"Do you want to cry more " she asked me her tone ,gentle like she was soothing a child .

I nooded. I really needed to get things off my chest.

She held her hands upwards promting me to hug her and I did .
Ironic wasn't it she reached my chin and her hands were short to wrap around by torso but she stroked my back . It was a familiar feeling , a really familiar sense of comfort.

Guys , If you find any mistake or something that just doesn't make sense in any chapter you can tell me about it.
I try to cross check everytime I publish a new chapter but if It escapes my eyes just in case so .
And if you are liking the story , then also let me know in the comments section. Everytime I see someone support my work it gives me motivation to write better .
Thank you
Have a nice day
