Chapter 68

" Why can't we just be like them? After all, we've been through for this love, why let another person divide the spoils we labored for?" He said, hypnotizing her with his gleaning eyes, which outshined the dark beach.

" You…"

" I know..." He said, grabbing her hand. " I messed up big time. But every time I try to move on, one look from you, and I'm mesmerized." He had gotten her full attention. " I love you, Pandora! I know I may not always show it, but trust me when I say the only time holding me back from showering you with love is just your acceptance."

She hesitated. Her heart was betraying her by letting Braxton's words sink deep. From the first day he met him, she never had any doubts about her love for him. She only had this fear that if she let him in again, he would leave her again.
