Chapter 52

“I will give you anything and everything. I will do whatever I have to and I need to in order to keep you safe even if it means killing

someone“.

“Then why didn’t you protect Anya“? I asked.

“Because I didn’t think, nor did I ever believe Emelda would go that far. I was young, about twenty years old” he said

“And if you knew“?

“If I knew…”

He stopped, he wasn’t going to answer, and I understood, and I began doubting myself. Maybe they still had a chance of being together and I was in the way.

“No“, he said grabbing in and turning my face towards him.

“When I thought she was dead I was hurt, I blamed myself for a long time. But as I got older that love and guilt disappeared. Even now knowing that she’s alive all I feel is relief that she’s not dead and nothing more. There isn’t and there was never a chance of us being together again” he said

“Okay“, I said quietly. He sat up and pulled me up.

“Let’s go, he said walking towards the closet.

“Go where it’s almost four in the morning“.

“I know. Let’s go” he said.

I wore a hoodie and Jeans, I wore my sneaker, and we left.

“Asher, I haven’t seen any of the other Tenants“?.

“Because no one else lives here just you and the security details“, he said

“Wait what“?

T

“I own the building. There is a security detail in an apartment on each floor” he said, stepping out of the elevator into a garage.

“There’s a garage here“? I asked.

“Yes, I’m the only one that can access it” he said leading me over to a car. He opened the door for me, and I got in. He got in and started the car and drove out. I had no idea where he was taking me. On the drive he held my hand. Why did this feel intimate?

“Asher where are we going“?

“I’m Taking you to see someone“, he said squeezing my hand.

“Umm, okay“, I was a bit worried now.

“Stop worrying. I may have been in Love with Anya, but I have never touched her or shared anything personal with her. I don’t know why I didn’t, I just didn’t feel the need to. You’re the first person I’m bringing to see her“, he said

Chapter 52

Wait, he said, het. Who was taking me to see. He drove for two hours; the sun was now rising when he pulled up to a cemetery. 1 looked at him, but he didn’t say anything. He got out and came around and opened the door for me. I got out and he took my hand in his and led me down the path. He walked for about five minutes then he stopped and turned. I looked at the name on the headstone. LILLITH STERLING, I turned and looked at him. “My mother” he said.

“Hi mom. I brought someone special to meet you. This is Skylar the one I love“. He said and I couldn’t help but stare at him.

“When she passed away, she was buried in the Sterling family plot bt after my father died, Emelda had them remove her coffin from the family plot. They were buried next to each other, my mother and father, My grandfather moved her here without Emelda knowing” he said.

“I’m Sorry” I said quietly.

“I brought you here because I wanted you to meet her. She was the only one that truly cared for me, even though I was too small to remember‘ he said.

I couldn’t help but look at him, he may look normal and like he has it all to the world, but I know Trauma when I see it, he has a lot of trouble, lingering resentment and hurt from his past. I hugged him because I felt he needed that.

“I love you Dorian“,

He looked down at me. “I love you too baby”

We stayed there for a while, talking and I got to understand him a bit better. On the way back to Havenwood, his phone began ringing. He answered and put it on speaker but didn’t say anything.

ANYA: why Dorian? Why?

DORIAN: Because I no longer love you

Suddenly she didn’t sound the way he did when he spoke to me, his voice became cold and distant. There was not a shred of emotion in his voice and I was surprised that he can instantly shut off his emotions.
