He’d practically had to carry me out of the damn hospital to get me home, let alone forbid me from returning.
He’d betrayed me.
Hurt me.
But everything was okay now.
Because he’s back.
Aslan is home.
My heart squeezed. My lips twitched into a smile.
I ripped open the door. “Aslan—” The name of my forever after and soulmate died on my tongue as I blinked at only one man on the threshold.
All it took was for my eyes to meet my dad’s.
A single second to sink into the sorrow pooling there and the regret scratched into his face.
And I knew.
No...
A vortex appeared beneath me, sucking me to the floor.
Guilt snatched me up.
Horror sucked me down.
I collapsed.
My heart stopped.
My ears rang as Dad kneeled before me. Mum charged from the couch. Their arms wrapped around me as I rocked.
Just rocked.
I rocked and pulverised.
No tears.
No screams.
Just silence.
Aching, breaking silence in my chest, my soul, my heart.
No...
He can’t.
This can’t be...
No.
I’m sorry.
So sorry.
