A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1141

Liana looked down at Will's bandaged wrist, her eyes deep and thoughtful. Then she gave a faint smile and said, "Will, I'm a mess, ever since we got together, you've been getting hurt, maybe we should call it quits."

Hearing this, Will's heart gave a violent thump. But strangely, he seemed to have seen it coming, that Liana would say something like this, so he wasn't surprised, just...

"Liana, Tyler's gone, there's no one left to hurt me..."

Liana averted her eyes, lifting her gaze to meet Will's hopeful eyes.

"I've killed before, and I've been violated in front of you. About these things, I'll never forgive myself..."

She didn't make up any excuses, she just said what she felt. Actually, when Tyler forced himself on her in front of Will, Liana knew it was over between Will and her.

To go through something like that, and then marry that person, and spend your life with them, how hard would that be? Anyone else might not even be able to look at the other person. Liana was strong, at least she could pretend like it was no big deal, even helping Will with his injuries.

"I don't mind."

Will looked at Liana, his eyes filled with concern.

"Liana, you were forced, it's not your fault. Even if you shot Tyler, that was because you couldn't control your emotions, not because you really wanted to kill him. I understand all of this, so I don't mind at all, why do you..."

Liana's laughter filled the room, her eyes forming crescents like the brightest moon in the night sky.

"No, Will, that's not enough," Liana denied his words but couldn't help letting out a gentle laugh while looking at him.

"We've been together and you've shown me what it's like to be loved, I thought that was enough for a lifetime of happiness, but I never considered if it was fair to you..."

He loved her so deeply, she should respond with the same depth of love, but she couldn't give it, whether Will minded or not, it was unfair to him.

"Will, you're such a great and kind person, you deserve a better woman, and me, a criminal like me, I'm destined to be alone."

Even if the law didn't punish her, she would still pay in other ways, her life would never be peaceful again. Why should she drag Will down with her?
