The Dark & Sinister Truth
I felt my heart sink when I saw him like this. I wasn’t sure exactly what happened back then but it was clear that Edward fully blamed himself for it.
“Edward…” I whispered his name.
“Back then, I could sense that something was wrong and that your father was hiding something. But the young teenager that I was back then couldn’t do anything to help him. He wouldn’t even tell me what was going on. Even when he gave me the black envelop, he still didn’t tell me,” Edward said with frustration.
“Edward…it’s not your fault,” I said, meaning every word.
“No, Natalia. It was my fault…” Edward voice cracked, and I realized for the first time that he was silently crying.
His hand squeezed mine tightly as tears threatened to fall from his eyes. His green eyes felt like they were shades darker than they normally were. At first, I thought Edward was just sad but when his eyes met mine, I knew I was wrong.
He wasn’t just sad; he was very furious.
