“I already suggested other solutions, Caroline said. “Cala doctor, take an ice bath–but you wouldn’t
listen.”
“I only want you!”
“But I don’t want to give myself to you!”
David gripped her chin, forcing her to look at him. “What do you think I called you here for? Just to patch up my wound? Caroline, don’t be so naive!”
“You want to vent your frustration but refuse to find another woman? Then call Elizabeth! Isn’t she the one. you’ve always liked?”
“When did I ever say I liked her?”
Caroline froze, unable to answer.
It was true
David had never once said he liked Elizabeth.
But the way he indulged her, the way he spoiled her–that wasn’t love, then what was
it?
“Besides, Elizabeth just left, David said. “I forced her out because I didn’t want to lose control and take her. That’s why I used the glass to cut myself to stay conscious. Do you understand now?”
Caroline stared into his obsidian–like eyes.
He had already sent Elizabeth away?
He only wanted me? But why? Does David really love me? Had I been the one he wanted all along?
Caroline didn’t dare dwell on it.
She was an orphan. Even family love had been a luxury let alone romantic love.
Love was something forever out of reach for her. And after what happened with Nash and Julia’s engagement… she had completely given up on it.

the the moment someone shows me even a sliver of affection, I’ll give them everything–every last piece of me–without hesitation. So all I can do is lock my heart away. If you turn love into a game, I won’t just lose myself in it–I’ll destroy myself. Whether you’re serious, playing around, or just testing me, I won’t play along.”
People who grew up starved for love–once they got a taste, they would only crave more.
And in that craving, they would give everything in return. David watched her, his expression unreadable.
Caroline met his gaze head–on.
In each other’s eyes, they saw their own reflections.
“Even if you really love me… Even if you do,” Caroline took a deep breath, “I will never love you, David.”
She couldn’t afford to. She didn’t dare to. She had nothing to offer, while David held all the cards.
Besides, how could I ever be sure David’s love is real?
