I love you, Alara.
My love for you knows no bounds-I would sacrifice everything for you!!
To...
Fuck you, Alara.
You think I killed your brother? You think I could ever hurt someone you loved?
You hate me now, and maybe that's worse than death.
But...

Thank God I texted my manager just in time to warn Josh not to admit that he saw me and her kissing. If he'd told the truth, I swear I would've ripped his head off.
But I still feel guilty for messing with her mind. She's already dealing with so much—living away from her family with a baby. I don't even know whose baby it is but that little one is just so adorable...
I know I should stop teasing her, stop pushing her buttons just to see that adorable, flustered expression. But every time I'm around her, it's like I lose all control. How am I supposed to fight this overwhelming urge to hold her close, to kiss her again, to forget about everything else in the world but her?
I came back to the room and stood there, staring blankly at the wall of my cabin.
Fuck! I kissed her there.
The memory hit me hard, swirling with chaos and warmth all at once. My gaze dropped to my hand—the spot where her tear had fallen, right on my palm. That single tear carried everything she felt but didn't say.
Without thinking, I lifted my hand and kissed that very spot, as if it would let me hold onto a piece of her forever.
You're just mine, baby. No matter what.

I was in the lift, still reeling from what had just happened.
My ex just kissed me.
WAIT?!
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!
Am I dreaming? Is this some twisted hallucination? I frantically pinched myself.
Oh fuck. It's not.
My hands were shaking, my legs trembling like they were about to give out. My mind couldn't process it—my thoughts tangled and chaotic. What just happened? How did that even happen?
There was no way I could go to the office now. Absolutely no way.
I texted Josh, telling him to head to the office because I was going home.
My mind couldn't process it. My brother's murderer... kissed me?
I let him kiss me?
WHY, ALARA, FUCKING WHY?! HOW THE FUCK COULD YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO DO THAT?!!
