Chapter 14
KATERINA
I don’t know how long I cried after Lucian left.
I didn’t move from where I’d fallen to my knees. There was a vain hope running through my mind that maybe he’d return to me. And yet, I knew full well he wouldn’t. Last time he left, it had been two weeks before he had the courage to come back. This time, he had no reason to return... beyond the baby, of course. But I’d made it pretty clear I didn’t want him around, even though that was totally wrong. Of course, I wanted him. I loved him! Everything was a huge mess now, and it was all because of me.
Had I ever told him how I felt? No. I hadn’t, and now maybe he would never know that someone loved him in return.
My fault, my brain kept taunting, over and over.
Why did I do this kind of thing to myself? Something good
