Chapter 328

• His voice dropped dangerously low, and a side of Neil that I had never seen before was starting to manifest. “Do I seem fine to you?” My lips quivered when I heard the deep sadness in his voice. I realized he had slipped into a combination of the first and second stage. Pain. Sadness. Depression. He grabbed my hand and crushed it against his chest, where his heart was beating wildly within. A pained expression crossed his face when his bare skin touched mine. “I can’t even touch you without seeing the image of Adonis fucking you like a cheap slut.”

• “Neil-” I sobbed.
