Chapter 68. Urgent Call

“Look, Liam. This is not the right way. All that I am asking is...

“I know what you want, Lynn. You don’t need to say it. You deserve more respect than anyone. I know how hard it was for you to agree to do this for me. I know how much you held back your feelings for me because you respected my marriage and didn't want to break it. Nobody knows your worth more than I do, and I will make them all know how much you mean to me.” He says this, taking my breath away.

For a long moment, all I manage to do is just stare at him, wondering whether he knows the intensity of what he is insinuating. “And the consequences, Liam? Are you ready to face them?” I ask because, in a way, I also want them to know who I really am to him. We know that our love never died and is now rekindled, and we are not letting it go.

“Nothing will go wrong; trust me, love. And besides, whatever is bound to happen will happen in the end, no matter what we do. Let us just end this, love.” He says.
