Chapter 85
Zane stared at her silently for a while and she was starting to think he was frozen.
"Get me another room, I can't stay in here with you" She murmured then walked past him and was about to walk out the door when he wrapped his arms around her and placed his head on her shoulder making her gasp.
"Zane? What do you think you're doing? Let me go, now" But his arms just tightened around her. “I don't believe you, I don't believe you have feelings for Levi” She took a deep breath then sighed. “But I just told you I did, didn't I?"
"You're just saying that to spite me and even though I don't want to admit it, it hurts to hear you say you like him even though I know you're lying, it still hurts. I love you so much Kiara and it pains me when I wake up every morning and remember that I can't call you mine anymore. When are you going to give me a chance to redeem myself?" She sighed.
"Please let's not do this, not now" She murmured but he shook his head
“No, I want you to know that I love you so much and there's not a single day where I open my eyes and regret every single thing. I know it's hard but please just this once, give me a chance" She squeezed her eyes shut.
“I tried giving you a chance but you did the same thing again. I can't and I don't want to risk it" He pulled away from the hug then moved over to stand in front of her.
“I was a fool, there's no excuse for my foolishness but I want you to know that I never stopped loving you, I always thought of you and wanted to hold you but you have to know that I was trying to protect my sanity and my heart. My head was filled with so much doubt that I refused to see the truth that was in front of me the whole time and that cost me you" She stared at him for a while then sighed as she dragged her palm across her face.
“Listen Zane, I've decided to put myself first now and that also means I'm cutting off anything or anyone that's going to make me unhappy because I deserve happiness, Zane" He nodded immediately.
"You deserve the world, Kiara and I'm ready to give you that if you'd let me..."
"You lost your chance, I think it's time we both move on" She murmured and was about to side step him but he wrapped his arms around her and she squeezed her eyes shut when she felt the wetness on her shoulder.
“I'm begging you, please. Please just give me a chance, !'ll never be able to move on from you because you're all that I want" She took in a shaky breath then gently pulled herself away from the hug.
She wiped away the tears that slipped down her cheeks hurriedly as she watched him silently crying in front of her. She was this close to giving up on everything and running into his arms to calm him down, to tell him how much she loved him and was willing to start over again but wasn't she just playing with her own heart? She didn't want to take any risk anymore.
“I don't think we'll be able to stay here. I'm going to tell Levi and Heather. We'll leave” She murmured then immediately walked out of the room before he could stop her.
She wiped away the tears that were streaming down her face then came to a halt when Levi appeared in front of her. He stared at her worriedly then grabbed her face gently.
"Why are you crying? What did Zane say to you this time?" She sighed then shook her head before taking two steps away from him. Just because she was done with Zane doesn't mean she should lead Levi on
Hurt flashed through his eyes but it was gone within a flash.
"What's wrong?" She sighed.
"We can't stay here. You, I and Heather are leaving now" She murmured and he frowned. They hadn't even been here for an hour. Just what did she talk about with Zane that made her change her mind?
“Is something wrong? You can tell me" She shook her head.
“Nothing is wrong. I'll go get Heather" She murmured then immediately walked away leaving Levi confused.
When Kiara got downstairs, she glanced around and frowned when she only saw Daniel.
“Has Heather been taken to her room?" He nodded at her then folded his arms with furrowed eyebrows.
"What happened?” She ignored his question because it was pretty obvious. The only reason she ever cried was because of Zane or it had something to do with Zane.
“Can you take me to Heather's room?" Daniel nodded slowly.
“Yeah” He led her upstairs and towards Heather's room without any of them saying a word to each other. When they got there, Kiara knocked on the door before walking in and they both found Heather and Liam laughing at something.
The smile slipped off Heather's face when she saw Kiara's face and she immediately dropped what she was doing and walked up to her.
"Kiara? What's wrong? Why do you look like you have been crying?” Kiara sighed.
“It's nothing. I'm sorry but we cannot stay here anymore" They all frowned at her words.
"What? Why?" Heather questioned making Kiara sigh again.
"Just because we can't, I can't... I just can't " It was too much for her and she knew Zane was never going to drop coming to her as long as she stayed under his roof.
Heather seemed to understand what she was trying to say and immediately nodded.
"I'd go anywhere with you, even if you wanted us to stay under the bridge. What about Levi?" Kiara smiled.
“We'll talk about that later”
“I'm afraid I cannot let you both leave unless Zane allows it" They both turned to Daniel with a frown as soon as he said that.
"Well Zane doesn't control us and we can leave if we want to" Kiara spoke up with a sneer. Daniel opened his mouth to say something but before he could, Zane's voice came from behind.
“You can leave, I'm not holding you back anymore"...
