Chapter 13
The day of the funeral, it was drizzling.[]
Even though we were basically strangers now, I still came to see Damien off one last time.
Leonardo walked over with a black umbrella, dressed in a sharp suit that couldn’t hide how exhausted and broken he looked.]
“I’m sorry.“[]
“After Helena’s mask came off, I’ve been kicking myself every single day. How the hell did I not see through her bullshit? How did I let her destroy you like that?”
“We were the ones who grew up together. You saved my life when we were kids. How could I be so blind to who actually gave a damn about me?”
“I fucked up so bad. I owe you everything.“]
Rain mixed with what looked like tears as it ran down his face. “Aurelia, Damien’s dead now. Please, just give me a chance to make this right?”
“Don’t need it.“[]
I cut him off, my voice ice–cold. “Leonardo, your apology’s too late. I’m all out of forgiveness to give.“]]
“As for our childhood thing–I forgot about all that ages ago. You should too.“]
His face went white as a sheet. His mouth moved but nothing came out.[]
I turned and walked toward Nathaniel’s car parked on the street, hever looking back.
Some people, some moments–once they’re gone, they’re gone for good. Doesn’t matter how much you regret it later, there’s no rewind button.
Just like how Damien wrote his apology in blood, and it still couldn’t buy him my forgiveness.[]
