Life-and-death situation
Adam left her apartment, feeling like his heart burned and turned to ashes. He did not understand how she could reject him like that. As if his feelings meant nothing to her.
Was it because he was just an ordinary lawyer who did not make enough to cater to her lifestyle? But he doubted because he had come to know her, the real her. She was not like that.
But how could she dismiss him without giving him a reasonable explanation? She said she wanted to go away. As far away from everything, that meant, including him.
There must be a serious reason for it. But what? Should he accept it, or should he continue fighting for her? But why should he when she did not seem determined to fight for him? If she did, then she would never have left him.
"It is not you, but it is me." A line that he had heard many say when they did not want to hurt the other. Unfortunately, that was a lie.
