Chapter 303

“I told Danika about Anarieveta. She was so hurt to hear it. She cried for you. For the woman you were. I knew I had to let you out and let you go out there to the world to try and find yourself again.” He paused, swallowed. “It was also my way of doing my darndest to let go of the pains of finding out that you connived and slept with Karandy. The pains of finding out that you almost killed my unborn son and my woman.”

“I am so sorry. I will never forgive myself for that,” she sniffled, her head still lowered.

But he held her jaw and tipped her head upwards so that their eyes met. “Remembering the girl you were and sending you away helped me to let go. Today, seeing you with Danika, seeing your close brush with death, seeing the woman who saved my woman and son...destroyed the rest of that pain.” He kissed her forehead. “I forgive you, Vetta. I know Danika forgives you. I hope you forgive yourself so that you can keep living for us. We all love you, Anarieveta.”
