Jade stared him down, her voice a series of sharp questions. “Why should I trust you? What have you ever done to earn it? You say you’d never hurt me-have you forgotten every single thing you’ve done to me over the last three years?”

Hudson swayed on his feet, his eyes full of shock and a hollow, desperate confusion.

“Jade, I’m doing this for you. Don’t you see the logic? How can you… how can you choose him over me?”

Jade gave him a look of pure, biting indifference. “Does logic even matter to a man like you?”

Hudson was stunned. Jade continued.

“Amara Hoyt spent years destroying my life, and I put the evidence right in front of your face. You ignored the logic, you ignored the truth, and you ignored me. You chose her every single time and forced me to apologize for being a victim. Now you show up with a few rumors and expect me to throw away my trust in Bastian? On what grounds, Hudson?”

Hudson felt a searing pain in his chest, a suffocating weight that made it hard to draw a breath.

Through the haze of agony, he heard her final strike.

“Hudson, I’m only treating you the way you treated me. Why is it so unbearable now? Are you really making this scene for a girl who owes you nothing?”

These words were hauntingly familiar.

Sharp, precise, and utterly lethal.

They were the exact proof of every injury Hudson had inflicted in the name of Amara.

“I’m sorry,”

Hudson’s lips trembled, the red in his eyes spreading as he closed them against the pain.

“I was wrong. About everything.”

Jade watched him face his own choices with a cold, flat expression.

“Your apologies are meaningless to me.”

Hudson’s pupils contracted. Fearing she would say something he couldn’t survive, he stepped

“I’m done. If you don’t want to see me, I’ll leave. We’ll talk when you’re rational. But take these.

I picked them myself. Just take the flowers and I’ll go.”

Jade looked at the bouquet, then met his bloodshot eyes.

He spoke of his “wrongs,” but he was still trying to dictate the moment.

He was still forcing her to accept a gift she didn’t want just to quiet his own conscience.

He kept repeating that he “picked them himself,” as if his labor were a debt she had to repay.

But…

Hadn’t she given him three years of her life?

And hadn’t he ground those years into the dirt?

Hudson saw her silence and felt his world continuing to crumble beneath his feet.

The uncertainty was a physical, gnawing panic in his gut.

He held the flowers out a final time, desperate for a sliver of acknowledgment.

“I was wrong… I am so sorry…”

“I already told you-I don’t need your apologies.” Jade took a breath and reached for the bouquet.

Hudson felt a flicker of life return to his dull eyes.

She’s caving.

As long as she accepted the gift, there was still a bridge back to her.

He knew she had loved him for years; that couldn’t just vanish—

Then, in one fluid motion, Jade turned and dropped the bouquet into the trash bin behind her.

The words that followed were a killing blow.

“Your apology is exactly like these flowers-utterly worthless to me now!”

With that, Jade turned on her heel and walked away.

He watched her graceful silhouette grow smaller and smaller.

For three long years, it had been Jade watching his back, pleading for his time.

He had never looked back once. Not in a thousand days.

Now that the roles were reversed, he realized how much it hurt to watch someone walk away without a single glance behind them.

Hudson stumbled back, his steps unsteady until he hit the metal bin and stood still.

He stood there, watching the empty road, his fists clenching as the shadows in his eyes turned into a thick, permanent darkness.

Give up?

Hah.
