Chapter 107: Chapter 107

Before Rebecca could move more steps, Edwin walked faster enough to hold her hand and made her stop in her way.

"Rebecca…" His voice turned tender as his eyes looked at her back in front of him.

On the other side, she closed her eyes for a moment, as soon as she felt his touch on her wrist. She doesn't want to face him for now. Because seeing him, she only feels hurt and remembers that kiss.

Without turning she tried to release her wrist from him.

Seeing her doing that, Edwin blurted out, "Rebecca, please stop and listen to me." But she didn't stop moving her wrist. She was still trying to release herself.

Edwin's heart tightened to see how she was still trying to walk away from him. But he can't let her go, not now after he showed his love sign.

He does not let her go without explaining his situation. This is the time he needs to confess his love to her. Or it will be too late to do more.

"Can you please hear me?" His eyes almost turned red to mutter more words. He didn't know but he was scared of rejection. The way she left him after the kiss, he felt hurt by her action. But he can't justify his actions either. When she is going through big changes in her life.

However, she didn't turn or speak. All he could hear was silence from her, her lonely back facing him all the time.

"Rebecca please looked at me?" He requested her to turn and face him. But Rebecca did the opposite; she turned to him with hurt eyes and immediately used her other hand to release her wrist from him. Edwin's eyes look at her angry face where he can still see tears coming out slowly.

Seeing her doing this, he couldn't control his emotion and asked "Do you still want to run?"

Rebecca finally raised her eyes to meet his.

"Why are you running from me? Can't we talk and explain the things that happened inside the hall?" His eyes turned serious as he never left her staring.

On the other side, hearing his words, Rebecca felt weak. And thought, If she is going to listen to him now. It's only going to make her feel saddened and worse because there is no destiny for them.

She needs to be harsh if she wants him to go back and not confess his liking to her.

"Rebecca, answer me…" He asked with a heavy voice. On which, Rebecca finally broke her silence and said in a harsh tone," No! We can't talk Mr.Edwin."

Edwin felt silent. As his eyes tried to read her expression but failed at this moment. Because all he can see right now is 'Hurt' which is written all over her face.

"Because there is nothing to talk about between us except work!" She completed her words with a heavy heart.

Edwin released her hand only to make her feel more sad. Seeing the warmth suddenly gone from her wrist, she felt pain but she needed to endure it if she didn't want to see his despised eyes by any chance knowing her truth.

"Why?" His voice turned weak. He doesn't feel, she means it, any words. But the way she's using it. It hurts.

Rebecca could see how his eyes turned red with her statement. This made her soul want to grab him and hug him at this moment. But she can't.

Seeing his upset eyes because of her words. She can't help but feel guilty for him.

However, she continued with her harsh words in the last terms," Mr.Edwin, that's enough. I don't want to see you, please go back to the party and let me leave alone."

Edwin's hands turned into fists to hear her words. He can't be wrong with his sense that she liked him just like he did. Then why she's trying to push him to go back. Why?

Why? Can't she let him confess to her?

After saying her words, she just turned and was ready to walk away from him. But he was not ready to let her go and immediately moved faster to go in front of her and made her stop in her tracks to look at him with a frown.

"Mr.Edwin, please leave my way." She angrily yelled.

But Edwin didn't move and held her shoulders only to get her expression shocked later.

"I'll leave only after saying my words which I wanted to tell you."

"But I don't want to hear anything!" Rebecca tried to release her shoulders from his grip with the help of her hands.

However, Edwin tightened his grip on her and said," No, you need to listen to me!"

Rebecca felt stunned to see his force. This is the first time he talked like that to her. But this is not her fear, but the main fear of his confession.

"You know Rebecca, why I kissed you. Because I mean it. I mean to do that." He felt desperate.

On the other side, Rebecca's body flinched to hear his statement while her eyelashes flickered at this moment.

Her heart was racing nonstop to make her feel numb all over her body parts.

While he further added, "And I know, you don't hate it. You don't hate my touch, Rebecca. I know you like me. Just like I do. I can see that in your eyes, and feel it with your every word and the care you showed to me. I know you also loved me."

Everything stopped around them, as soon as he confessed his feelings for her. The words she was scared to listen to, finally fell from his mouth, and all she could feel was bitterness. Because even, she also loved him. Their love can't bloom together. She can't see hate in his eyes when he knows her reality. Her fabricated truth.

This thought made her close her ears with her palms and shouted in anger," Enough!"

"I can't listen to you anymore!"

Edwin's eyes filled with sorrow but he still continued," But that is true Rebecca, I love you."

Her eyes turned bloodshot as she felt she was turning weak to his words and to see his hurting expression.

She never imagined that one day, she will love someone but don't get the right to accept his confession. And these things hurt her and crushed her heart into a million pieces.

Her heart wanted to tell him the truth. But her real struggles gives her a cold shoulder to stay alone and don't let herself hurt or him.
