Chapter 22
Elena
"We are close to the house." I muttered before running away from him. He followed me shortly and I could see the mansion. We walked the rest of the way in complete silence.
We may have walked in silence but there were a million different unspoken words between us. My mother always told me that it is the words we didn't say that matter the most at times. No truer statement could have related to me more than that single quote. Bernard is everything I needed but he isn't mine to have. He is marrying someone else and I couldn't do anything to stop it.
As we walked through the tree line of the forest, I decided that I needed to tell him that I knew about his engagement to Helen. I am done acting like certain things don't bother me. I am done feeling like a spare part that he didn't want. I am done pretending that we weren't mates and trying so hard to deny it. I am a human too and I am being put through the wringer in terms of emotional stability.
