Chapter 178 The Separation

• "I had to tell you, I want to be completely honest with you. You have the right to know, and I didn't read it all, Hannq, I just needed to remember that time I saw you for the first time near the river, you were just a little girl of about eight years old, with your face behind a book on a hot summer day, you seemed to me the most beautiful creature I had ever seen in my life, but I was afraid to approach you, afraid of scaring you. Then I watched you for years as you slowly turned into a beautiful woman, always alone, with only a book for company. You know, sometimes I would look for any excuse to enter the bookstore where you worked, just for the pleasure of seeing you blush when our eyes met, the way you bit your lower lip when I approached you and you got nervous. Many times I tried to find a way to approach you, but I didn't know how, you were so different, so special that I felt I didn't deserve you. And that night at the masquerade ball, when we made love, and I took off your mask to see that it was you gasping in my arms, my heart swelled, then I knew I could never stay away from you again. I wish I could say I don't know what happened to me... But I do know"Ares murmured s"My ego couldn't live with the ridicule I thought you had exposed me to that night. I had the power to get revenge, and that was my intention when I married you.
• Hanna looked at him horrified, she felt like a puppet, she felt herself dying inside, but she finally understood everything. She had fallen in love with Ares so deeply that she gave him all the power to hurt her, she awkwardly moved away from him, and leaned against one of the railings of the atrium.
• "I slept with you Ares, I gave you everything"she said trembling"And you only thought about your damn revenge.
