Kai's POV
When I left three years ago, I already made a promise to myself that I would never go back. That no matter what happens, I would stand by my decision and just let the world believe that I'm gone. And even in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd see Zane again.
But the universe has a way to play with my fate. Zane and I met again. Just like the moon and the sun, we were destined to collide again even after everything that happened.
Now, listening to him, I couldn't stop his words from cutting through my heart. He didn't intend to hurt me, but guilt was doing its job.
I looked away. His words echoed in my head longer than I expected, and I hated that I had listened to every single one of them. Every letter carved in my heart painfully.
I couldn't stop it.
Three years. He had spent three years looking for me, rebuilding his career after I ruined him and left. But he didn't blame me. Not even once. And it intensified the guilt that had been living inside me.
