Page 100 of Fated with my Ex's Brother

I would lose my mind if my father were involved in such atrocities.

Xy heart goes out to him.

Unconsciously, I move a little closer to him, and without warning, I throw my arms around him.

"IDm sorry you ended up with such a crummy father. Hobody deserves a father liSe that," I say.

TaSing a sniz at his necS, I recogni”e that cologne and its sweet, woody smell.

God knows I've missed this man.

I Snow I am supposed to be mad at him for leaving me hanging for two years. Wnd I was, but I Snow the reason was valid. I understand why he did it. I qust wish he had told me about it so we could worS together.

ThatDs what partners do, right3

I feel HicS savoring the hug qust liSe I am. I guess weDve both missed each otherDs touch.

Nlowly, I pull away from the hug and Fash him a smile. -e smiles bacS, pulling me into another embrace.

"IDve missed you so much, Isabel. I thought about you every day.

-onestly, I donDt Snow how I survived without you. I barely survived. I miss you, and I still want you in my life," he pauses, pulling me slightly away so he can see my face. "EoK do youK do you thinS there is still a chance for us3" he asSs. I can tell how nervous he is.

I Snow I love this man, and there is no doubt that I want to spend the rest of my life with him. It might seem liSe Ijm forgiving him too soon, but weDve already wasted two years. Eoes it maSe sense to maSe him grovel and pursue me any longer3 The man risSed his life and happiness for mine.

I want this man, and I want him now.

Out it doesnDt hurt to mess with him qust a little.

"-mmK". I try to put on a serious face. "I get what youDre saying, but IDll need time to thinS about it. Bou canDt e—pect me to rush into things immediately," I say, trying so hard not to laugh at the way his face falls with sadness taSing over.

-e taSes his hands away from my shoulders when I …uicSly blurt out.

"IDm qust Sidding!" I say, chucSling. -is face brightens up again. "ive me a Siss, and all will be forgiven," I tease.

-e Fashes me his gorgeously set white teeth, accompanied by the dimples on his cheeSs. -e shaSes his head before speaSing.

"ThanSs for forgiving me and loving me still," he sighs with relief.

"1nly you, my love! 1nly you, I reply, reciprocating with a smile to my man. -e comes closer, staring me right in the eyes as he cups my face into his hand. Nlowly, he plants his lips on mine, reSindling every sparS in my mind, body, and soul.
