Chapter 45. The Unexpected Confession

Sofie’s POV

I wasn’t angry. I wasn’t infuriated either, and I definitely wasn’t heartbroken. Nor did it feel like my heart had been ripped out of my chest and tossed into a trash can. Definitely not. Then why was I bawling my eyes out like a pathetic fool? Why was I shivering with immense fury? Why did I feel like dying? I had no right to feel these things, but why did it hurt so bad?

“Sofie,” I heard him call, and I swallowed harshly before turning to face him with a feigned smile. I was hell-bent on making him realize that I wasn’t hurt by the torturous sight I had just beheld. I definitely wasn’t.
