Chapter 0205

How can you possibly forget all of that?!?!”

I felt tears threatening to escape from my eyes..

“Brady, stop. Please. I know you are angry, but

—

“Angry? No, Lily. I am not angry. I am disappointed. I thought you were better than this. I thought you were

stronger. How can you just forgive and forget someone who tortured you like James did, and all the while

turn your back on someone like me who wants nothing more than to love you and take care of you for the

rest of your life?!?!?!?!?!?!?”

The tears started to run down my face. I stood up and went over to him, putting my hand on his arm.” Brady, I—-”

“EXPLAIN IT TO ME, LILY! TELL ME HOW YOU CAN TURN DOWN MY LOVE IN FAVOR OF JAMES AND

HIS TOXICITY?”

Despite how angry Brady was and how much he was yelling at me, I suddenly realized that Brady was

crying as well. I felt my heart break for him and for our horrible situation.

“Brady, you do not love me,” I said honestly, “You love the idea of me. You love who you think I could be.

Who you think I… who you think I could replace.

Brady shook my hand off of his arm, resuming his pacing. Then, as though a light bulb went off in his

head, he spun around.

“Wait… are you choosing James because of Evelyn? Because you realized that you look like her? So f&&

that I love you any less.”

above. He did not say anything for a long while.

“So James is your baseball game and pizza?” he finally whispered.

“No. Yes. I don’t know. But I do know love him. The same way that you loved Evelyn. The same way that I

think you probably still love Evelyn.

“He is going to hurt you again, Lily. And I may or may not be here when he does.”

I wiped the tears from my eyes. “I am willing to take that chance.”

Brady headed towards the door, seeming defeated. “I am going to spend the next couple of nights at the Paramount Hotel, just in case you change your mind. I do not want to give up on you, Lily. You deserve. the world.”

“You deserve the world, too, Brady. I mean that.”

With that, Brady walked out the door, I closed the door behind him and leaned my back against it as I continued to let out the tears.

James opened the door to the bedroom and looked at me hesitantly, with a huge frown on his face. I ran up to him and wrapped my arms around his waist, burying my bead in his chest. He returned the hug kissed my forehead.
