His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 468

Loyal sidekick? Really?

Ever since they were kids, Casper and Aaron were inseparable—same schools, same classes, practically joined at the hip. They were so close, they could share anything, even their deepest secrets.

So, this is how Aaron viewed their bond? Casper was gutted.

He didn't even want to argue about it anymore. "Whatever you think, that's on you. My conscience is clear."

"Of course, it’s easy for you to say that. The pain always falls on someone else." Aaron abruptly let go of Casper, stumbling back into a wicker chair, his body collapsing like a rag doll. "I've always been second-best to you, but May was my everything... She died because of you too. How am I supposed to move on? I can't."

"Aaron." Casper had enough. "If May was really your everything, explain this: When you were off with other women, living it up, did you ever think about how that would shatter her heart?"

Aaron froze, his eyes slowly losing their spark. He’d never faced this head-on. Always dodging, always pushing the blame onto Casper.

"If May really was your everything, how could you, after having her, go and be with other women? Aaron, your so-called love is just talk; your actions tell a different story. How can you even talk about love?"

"Yeah, I don’t deserve it. I’m just... I just..." Aaron stammered, searching for excuses, but he realized he had none, other than blaming Casper. "Yeah, I don't deserve love. I'm unfaithful; I wasn't devoted. But you can't say I didn't love May."

Was that even love?

Love isn’t about dodging guilt, shifting the blame onto others. Using love as a weapon? That’s villainous.
