Chapter 22
“I’m sorry, Aria. I really do love you.”
“As Savannah–please, I can explain everything! She tricked me, I swear! I messed up, I know I did! I’ve made her pay already, okay? Please, don’t do this–don’t be so heartless!.”
“Please, just give me one more chance! I swear I’ll never hurt you again! If 1s over to you right now!”
I’ll leave with nothing, I promise! Hell, I’ll sign everything I own
Alexander begged desperately, picking up a shard of broken porcelain and pressing it against his throat.
He grabbed Aria’s hand, forcing her to control his fate.
With a manic smile and bitter heart, he pleaded: “If you hate me, kill me if that’s what you want! Just don’t push me away! I can’t–I won’t–face a future without you!”
“I can lose it all–everything but you! Punish me, I don’t care–toss me in a damn freezer, lock me in a jail, beat me, -just don’t walk away!”
Aria’s skin crawled at his words. She yanked her hand back, not caring that the movement caused the shard to cut his neck. She slapped him hard across the face.
“No! Never! I never want to see you again! I hate you, Alexander! I fucking hate you!”
“If you don’t want me to hate you for the rest of my life, then
get the
hell out and stay the fuck away from me!”
She glared at him one last time, ignoring how badly he was bleeding. She grabbed her parents and Julian, rushing toward the exit.
“Let’s go. I’m done with this nut.”
Her parents and Julian tried to calm her as they left.
As their figures disappeared, Alexander remained alone in the room.
Clutching his bleeding neck, he suddenly laughed.
“Why didn’t you finish it, Aria? Huh? Killing me would’ve been your perfect damn revenge! Why let
“You still care, don’t you? Yeah, I see it! That’s a sign you still care!“/
Sometimes when you repeat a lie enough, you start to believe it yourself.
But deep down, he knew Aria truly didn’t love him anymore.
So what was he supposed to do? He still loved her desperately!
Bitterness overwhelmed him.
From blood loss, his vision began darkening around the edges, his body growing cold.
Just as he thought death was coming, someone dragged him away.
Alexander forced his heavy eyelids open. Not Aria. Just an unfamiliar security guard.
Of course it wasn’t Aria. She wouldn’t come back to save him.
With this thought, his eyes finally closed as consciousness slipped away.
When he woke again, Alexander was no longer in the restaurant.
He found himself locked in a pitch–black room where he could barely see his hand in front of his face.
Suddenly, images appeared on the wall before him.

One side him kissing Savannah. The other – Arla kissing Julian.
The two photos paralleled each other a perfect, cruel irony.
Even Alexander wasn’t stupid enough to miss Julian’s handiwork.
But it didn’t stop there.
Julian had planned this carefully,
For every intimate photo of Alexander with Savannah that appeared, a similar one of Julian with Aria followed.
Countless images stabbed Alexander’s eyes, his heart sizzling like meat on a hot grill.
Red with rage, he slammed his fist against the wall.
“Stop it! Stop!”
But no matter how much he screamed, the slideshow continued relentlessly, twisting the knife deeper.
The message was clear: “What’re you jealous for? You did it all first. Can’t take it when Aría does the same?”
“Aría suffered this before. Now it’s your turn.”
