Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine Read Online Free

Chapter 811: But I dont want to be even.

Id rather you hate me! Coltons voice carried a hint of desperation.

If Allison despised him, at least it would mean she felt somethinganythingtoward him.

Now, when she said even, he felt as though they were going to become complete strangers.

Allison furrowed her brow.

Youre talking nonsense because youre drunk.

If theres nothing elseI Im not drunk, Colton interjected quickly.

He hadnt planned on confessing his feelings in such a disheveled state, but he feared losing his chance if he waited any longer.

Allison, Ive come to understand what happened back then.

Five years ago, you saved me, and I was wrong not to believe you.

I wont make that mistake again.

Can you give me another chance? At this, Allisons patience wore thin.

Colton, youre clearly not thinking straight because youre drunk, she responded, her tone icy.

What good does knowing the truth do now? The damage is already done.

Whether it was saving you five years ago or marrying you later, I did it all to settle a debt.

Allisons words hung in the air, thick with irony.

You were my hero then, and we promised each other forever.

But now, that part of their memory felt distant to Colton.

The old suitcase they had used to flee their captors had fallen apart the day he had proposed a divorce and driven her out of his life.

That last piece of their shared past was gone forever.

So, what was the point of regrets now? Allison, I was really sick as a kid, so those memories are fuzzy.

But I swear, Ill work on bringing them back! Coltons words felt empty, and he knew she didnt care about his memories anymore.

But he couldnt let go, couldnt stop trying to fix the shattered pieces of their story.

Gazing into Allisons eyes, Colton admitted, I messed up.

I shouldnt have caused you so much pain or always doubted you, but please, believe that what I feel for you now is real.

I love you.

The word love only twisted the knife of irony deeper for Allison.

What, you think I can just sweep the past under the rug and be your side piece? she said, her voice tinged with bitterness.

I didnt mean it.

Im going to divorce Melany! Colton blurted out, though a shadow of doubt crossed his face.

But not immediately.

He took a deep breath, as if preparing for a leap.

Just give me nine months.

I promise, after that, well go our separate ways.
