Chapter 76. Free Souls

Ellie's POV

The same reason as mine? Well, I had a jerk who broke my heart. I was in a relationship but with him? I don’t remember him saying he was in a relationship except about that arranged sh*t he tried explaining.

"But..." I start, but he cuts me off.

"I told you, right? This beauty was reserved for someone who didn't value it. I waited and waited while she was out there having leisure, relishing life, and maybe screwing every jerk she came upon. We are done now. Whatever arises, I have closed that chapter with her. It's that simple, Ellie."

He looks wounded. That must have hurt him deeply. I sympathize with him, although my heart is performing a twerk dance inside. It's becoming so naughty, you know. If he is free and I am free, which I so damn am because nothing ties me, then there is hope for us, right? We are free and compatible enough to make our own fate. We are free to marry, build a home, and live a happy life.

Ops! Marria
