„Acel," she whispers my name. „Please?"
I look down at her. „Please what! I thought you were fucking dead! Do you fucking know how it felt to see the dead body of the woman you love and realize that she's gone forever! This was just a game for you, so just say it."I yelled at her because I don't wanna cry in front of her.
My words trail off when she grabs my hands „i love you Acel. Please,forgive me" Leaning up on her tiptoes, she plants a soft kiss on my lips, and it takes everything in me not to return it.
„Please," she begs, gripping me tighter. „Valentina. Just go home. I can't do that anymore, I have a daughter to care about"I tell her,she is crying the whole time, it's breaking my heart.
„And i promise if anything happens to her, I'll kill you with my own hands. Don't fucking get near her, she's been through enough." Tears fall from her pretty eyes, and she yanks her hands free from my loosened grip. I'm trying my best not to hurt her.
"But I am her mother."
"No!" I shout. "Her mother died four years ago ..."
