Melissa took a deep breath before entering the room. Even her body and mind were stopping her but her heart wanted to do it.

After Gabriel’s request. Luna indeed talked to Melissa about Gabriel. She told Melissa about Gabriel’s request and asked her if she wants to meet him or not. Melissa was confused at first but at last hearing Luna’s words she took a decision of meeting him.

“Remember Melissa. I am just here to inform you and in the end, it’s your decision to meet him or not. But I will advise you about one thing. Remove this burden from you. Let him beg and cry but do as your heart says. Don’t let him play with you again.”

After her words. Melissa decided to listen to Gabriel. Luna contacted Gabriel and ask him to meet in Luna and Melissa’s house. He agreed. Of course after Hunter and Luna’s divorce Gabriel is the only one who is still in contact with her just because of Melissa.

James and Hunter both moved out of the town. Hunter left Gabriel here because of two reasons. First, he knew that Gabriel want to make things between him and Melissa right. And second, he wanted Gabriel to handle his work in Seoul till he decides to come back.

After Luna informed Gabriel about Melissa wanting to meet him. He was overwhelmed with contentment. He tried his best to convince Luna. And finally, he knew Melissa will never say no to Luna.

Indeed, he wasn’t had no intention of having forgiveness from her. He just know one thing.

He has to confess his love.

He has to gush his heart out.

He wanted nothing from her. Nothing but just only want to confide his feelings. He just wants to say everything and want her to listen. Without saying anything just listen to the passionate love he has for her

His breathing accelerates and heart started thumping harshly when he heard the crack of the door opening. He gulped before slowly turning around to face his one and only.

Love.

She looked at him with a frightened gaze while he returned the same stare but with a feeling of remorse. His eyes shined with nothing but grief.

She just stared at him standing way further than him as she was still afraid of him. It wasn’t easy for her to forget what he did. His crime wasn’t one. They were numerous and that’s how they turned him from a felon to a sinner.

A sinner of his own love.

A murderer of his own heart.

“I.” He gulped before taking a step forward but instantly stopped when he saw her flinching at his action. He took a deep breath from gathering his whole strength to speak.

“I-I am sorry Melissa.” He whispered but enough audible for Melissa to hear it. She looked down without replying to him. She’s not here to talk to him.

She just wants him to say everything for what he was begging Luna so long. Gabriel noticed her not wanting to talk to him so he decided to continue his words.

“I know. A sorry can’t mend my mistakes. No, my sin. Nothing can heal those scars that I gave you. I am a sinner. Your sinner. I don’t expect your forgiveness Melissa because I don’t deserve it.”

He looked at her stopping between his sentence trying to hold back his emotions. His tears. Gathering himself together he again enunciate his feelings.

“Those memories of us may be at first were nothing for me except a part of the mission. And when I realized it. It was late. Too late. I don’t expect anything from you. Nothing.”

He started to take slow steps towards her while her head was bowed down. Her Precious Tears were falling constantly from her eyes making her look so vulnerable but enough strong to listen to his poisonous words.

Yes they are like a poison to her. His feelings can't bring that affection which she used to have for him back. He stood in front of her while continuing his words.

“I know my feelings. My confession can’t melt your heart anymore. But I wish I really do wish to bring that time back where we were able to smile at each other. I wish I could change what I did. But I can’t. I am sorry. I am really sorry.”

She heaved her head up staring in his shining eyes with her crystal clear eyes. Both of them were gleaming with tears showing unexplainable pain in their sorrowful orbs.

“W-Why.” She questioned him with her cracked tone. He breathed heavily not knowing what to say. His voice stuck in his throat. His heart was being stabbed again and again witnessing her beautiful but teary eyes..

“Why now. And not then. Was your love so weak that you couldn’t even take a stand for us. Instead you decided to rip both of our hearts out just because of a mission. Just because of a mare mission. You destroyed everything Gabriel. Everything. ”

She cried harder while looking down. His tears started to embrace his cheeks. He cupped her cheeks and pulled her face up making her look at him. He placed his forehead on hers, letting the tears to damp his pale cheeks.

“I know. I know and I desperately wanted to bring that time back but I can’t. I am helpless. Broken. Guilty and in remorse. I can’t do anything to ask for forgiveness. I am sorry. I know it doesn’t matter anymore but I want to tell you. ”

“I love you Melissa”

Melissa squeezed her eyes more letting her tears fall down. His words somehow still affects her. But the terror she has of him won over his love. No matter how strong her feelings are for him but the fear she has defeated them.

He opened his eyes witnessing his beautiful love stiffen in his arms with her closed eyes. Her crystal-like tears were soaking her cheeks. He softly placed his lips on hers closing his eyes letting himself to melt away in the kiss.

Melissa didn’t protest. She was weak. Mentally weak and disturbed. She didn’t return his kiss but also didn’t stop him. She just cried and let her heart to melt away in his soft kiss filled with only love.

He caressed her cheek using his thumb continuously wiping her tears that were wetting her cheeks.. Of course his heart felt the anguish of her not kissing him back.. He knew that the love she had for him is not strong anymore as it used to be.
