Ch. 57

VERA'S POV

I knew he was waiting for me to talk to him, but I wasn't ready to say anything. I was wrong, I should have waited for him to help me like he promised.

I complicated everything by leaving the hospital and ending up in the net of the enemy. Now Ken used me to cut his hard work off. He could have easily gotten a witness and defeated Ken in court and Malone would be with me.

I lost again. I made the wrong decision again and I'm a liability to him. After all, he didn't push me intentionally and he was ready and willing to help me solve some of the problems in my life.

I placed my head on his chest and laid down beside him. I knew that he wanted to hold me, touch me and caress my hair, but he's restraining because he's not sure about what I want.

I closed my eyes and enjoyed the sound of swooshing wind, clapping waves of the water, the beat of his heart as his chest rose and fell against my cheek, and the silence of the night.

I wouldn't mind if we stayed like that for the rest
