The CEO Who Promised Me the World And Then Asked Me to Pay With My Soul by Caden Blake 396

Although she couldn’t see his eyes, Aubrey could feel his eyelashes fluttering rapidly beneath her palm. He seemed a little nervous, not as lighthearted and calm as he was pretending to be.

“Thank you.”

“Why… thank me all of a sudden?”

Alpha Henry chuckled. “When I first liked you, I only wanted to possess you. You were disobedient back then, always trying to provoke me, which made me want to possess you even more!”

He was talking about their domineering way of interacting at the very beginning.

“Later, my thoughts became more extreme. Although I didn’t put any pressure on you in our daily lives, I thought more than once that if you couldn’t conquer the virus, I would just drag you to hell with me! I love you, so I absolutely cannot bear the thought of you belonging to another man if I died. That feeling… just thinking about it makes me want to destroy the world…”

He bared his teeth in a smile, his white teeth and fair skin complementing each other. But Aubrey felt that his eyes at this moment must hold a trace of bitterness.

“You see, I’m just this selfish. Ever since I was little, in my world, if I wanted something, I just had to take it. There would be no obstacles. Even if there were, it didn’t matter; I always got what I wanted! So, in my mind, the words ‘giving freely‘ never existed. If I gave something, I had to be repaid, and repaid double. But now… with you, I’ve increasingly come to understand… another feeling…”

Speaking to this point, Alpha Henry seemed to be uncertainly searching for his words.

“That feeling… it seems to be… satisfaction… tolerance… or perhaps… devotion? Heh, I never thought a word like that existed in my, Alpha Henry’s, dictionary. But it’s the truth. I find myself more and more satisfied in devoting myself to you, like a believer before his god. As long as you accept it, I’m already content. My devotion to you comes from love, and when I’m giving, I’m really, truly, not thinking of any repayment…”

Having said so much, Alpha Henry seemed a bit embarrassed. In a lighthearted yet serious tone, he said, word by word.

“So thank you. Because you taught me what love is. I was very immature before. I won’t be anymore.”

“I love you. I am willing to say this to you every day, piously, like a believer’s prayer.”

After Alpha Henry finished speaking, he held his breath, waiting for Aubrey’s reply. But what he didn’t know was that at some point, Aubrey was already covered in tears.

Tears streamed silently from the corners of her eyes. She looked at the man before her, who was waiting nervously for her answer, and remained silent, afraid to speak. She was afraid that the moment she opened her mouth, a sob would escape.

“Aubrey?” Alpha Henry called her name, then reached out, wanting to move the hand she was using to cover his eyes.

Aubrey frantically wiped away her tears and quickly said, “Don’t look at me!”

Alpha Henry felt her reaction wasn’t right. He got a little anxious and quickly pulled her hand down!

But the moment he pulled her hand away, Aubrey suddenly rolled over, face down, and buried her face in the pillow.

Alpha Henry looked at her, baffled. “What’s wrong? Did I say something that made unhappy?”

It wasn’t the first time he had stepped on a landmine. Although he was apprehensive asking, he was also resigned.

Aubrey kept her face buried in the pillow and refused to move. Alpha Henry reached out, intending to free her face, but instead felt the tears on the pillow.

Aubrey… was crying?

He quickly turned her over. Just as he thought, Aubrey’s beautiful eyes were red, like a little rabbit’s, and held a trace of panic.
