Chapter 22 Ash's Pov

• Ash's POV
• A part of me already knew when I saw Riley's face that there would be no way we would have a legible conversation about the issue. And now that I had time to think about it, maybe I was wrong. Oh, fuck that. I was absolutely in the wrong.
• I should not have told her she was acting paranoid nor should I have given her money and transport fare like she was some slut. It was something mutual but I had done it because if she had stayed for a second longer then I would have embraced her, held her tight in my arms as we fell asleep together after having more sex. I did not want to go back to being that person. I had been so obsessed and so into her the last time we were together. And where did that land me? In the ditch. Yes, it doesn't matter what anyone says. My love for Riley had not been enough for her. If it had, then she wouldn't have cheated on me. Was I in a toxic relationship? She hurt me but I wanted more of her. Oh, wait, what I and Riley have together could hardly be called a relationship.
