“Because I don't fucking want to hurt you again.” His voice roared in the penthouse and it took me back for a moment.

I was about to answer but he stopped me by showing his palm.

“Do not do this. This will cause you pain. Let me live my misery alone. I don't want you to be miserable. So, leave. Please.” The vulnerability in his voice was too easy to be noticed.

It was breaking me too from inside but I had to hold everything together in me just to hold himself together.

I might have not lived with him but I know what he thinks even after a long time. He is just trying to push because he is afraid of hurting me.
