Chapter 25

• He walked down the stairs and left the house without a single look back. Sasha watched him go, and a tear slipped down her cheek; she is being as loving as she could okay, why can’t he just pity her for a day? Just why did he choose to treat her this way? He had hurt her last night, but she didn’t use it against him; she had come down and made breakfast for him, trying to show him that last night didn’t matter but still, he won’t appreciate that? She sat on one of the chairs in the dining as the tears kept rushing out of her face like flood.
• Michael got into his car, dropped his briefcase on the passenger’s seat, his head resting on the headrest and his eyes closed. He let out a deep breath slowly, and his hands covered his face, he is trying, he is really trying to let go but that scene twelve years ago refuse to let him, he really wants to be with her, to enjoy his marriage with her but ever since receiving that pain from her, he had built a wall, a thick wall to protect him from people, especially women and it was not helping if she had hurt him series of times after that.
• That was why he had lived the twenty eight years of his life without a single girlfriend, he found it had to trust women, and he had lived with his own theory, ‘give them your heart, and they will hurt you’. So he tried not to give them his heart but his one mistake has refused to leave him, he had given his heart away but got hurt in the end, he had been angry, sad, lonely, and everyday he has to see her living happily and smiling. He had stalked her then, followed her everywhere she went, he planted people to watch her for him, and they report to him everyday; she was always happy, while he was always sad and lonely.
