264 Shattered heart

Heather is his secret. His beautiful little secret. She took his heart away long before he knew, but he can't call her own. There is never a day he doesn't think of her and wishes she was by his side. When Leena brought the topic unexpectedly, Francis was afraid Leena would misunderstand, thinking he is treating her well only because he loves Heather. It is the very reason he denied his feelings earlier, but at last, Leena had noticed his feelings long back.

''Leena, child, if you have misunderstood my intentions of taking care of you only because of your mom, push those thoughts aside. No word can describe how much you mean to me, nothing that could lessen my love for you, as you have it now and for all eternity. You are the answer to every time I looked up at the skies and asked for a miracle.'' Francis gently said, taking Leena's hand. Leena tightly grabbed his hand when he first took her into his arms. Even it was for a while, she had Francis's heart forever.
