CHAPTER 28: Sinful Kiss

CLAIRE’s P.O.V.

“Wife...”

His eyes were now open, not wide enough but I know that he can see me.

“Am I d-dreaming?” he asked, smiling to himself. “You look beautiful as ever... I’m sorry for hurting you... I’m sorry...”

I stiffened as he slowly brushed his fingers to my cheeks, wiping my tears away. Is this true? I felt guilty for a moment, knowing that I didn’t listen to him earlier... I should have patiently waited for his response. I shouldn’t have let my stupid emotions get in the way of our relationship.

“Please don’t cry...”

“Claire! The cab is ready!” Elijah rushed to us.

Darren slowly drowned off to sleep again. I help Elijah assist him inside of the cab. We’re both quiet the whole trip, no one wants to utter another word. Until finally, we reached the Herrera residence.

As the maids help us to bring Darren to his room, Elijah finally found his tongue again and talk to me.
