Falling For My Arrogant Boss

Chapter 14: I Can't Let You Go

Midnight. The whole house was silent.

Rita was packing her small bag. She decided to leave. She couldn't stay here anymore, seeing Sujan with her sister. It was too painful.

As she opened the door, Sujan was standing there in the dark.

"Where are you going?" His voice was hoarse.

Rita wiped her tears. "Far away from you. From both of you. I have troubled you enough."

"Look at me, Rita," he said.

Rita looked up. Sujan's eyes were red. He had been crying too.

"You think you can just leave after making me fall in love with you?" he whispered, his voice breaking.

Rita was shocked. "What?"

"I love you, Rita. I have loved you since the day you came to my house with that angry face and those big eyes. I tried to hate you, I tried to be rude, because I knew I shouldn't love you. But I failed."

He came closer and held her face in his hands. "Moni is my past, Rita. She left me two years ago for London and never looked back. We are only together on paper. But you... you are my present, you are my future."

Rita started crying loudly. "But she is my sister! How can we..."

"Let me handle it," Sujan said, hugging her tight. "I will tell her the truth. I will set her free, and I will set myself free. Just don't leave me. Please."

For the first time, the arrogant, rude Sujan was begging. And he was begging for her.

Rita didn't say anything. She just cried in his arms, under the moonlight. Because she knew, she could never let him go either.
