Jasmine's POV
Moisture gathered in my eyes as I surveyed the space around me.
My breathing caught, and I pressed my shaking hand against my lips. No matter where I looked, there I was staring back at myself through countless photographs capturing angles I never knew existed. But somehow, he had seen them.
I glanced down to find Jayden kneeling before me, his warm palms cradling my hands. Those piercing blue eyes seemed to glow even brighter under the room's golden lighting, burning with intensity yet radiating gentleness.
A soft laugh escaped him. "Now you know how completely consumed I am by you."
His fingers tightened around mine with careful pressure. "You've owned my heart my entire life."
Words abandoned me completely.
Jayden, the elegant and captivating heir I had once watched from the shadows, the academy's shining star, the man I believed stood far beyond my reach, had been harboring the same feelings for me.
Through all these years.
