Alpha's Twins Chapter 187

I was completely stunned. My head turned toward him slowly, like I was moving through thick fog.

This was a man who never apologized to anyone - not even his own parents. So hearing "sorry" come out of his mouth? That was earth-shattering.

But what the hell was he apologizing for?

"For what?" I asked.

He looked at me with this eerily calm expression, like he was fighting to keep every emotion locked down tight.

"For misunderstanding you."

I looked away. "Adrian, seriously? How many things are you planning to apologize for? Can you give me back my eight years?"

Silence. I wondered if he still saw me as some kind of criminal for marrying him in the first place.

I sighed and forced myself to meet his eyes again.

"You know what? I'm sorry too. I never should have agreed to marry you. I was just some stupid kid who—"

I stopped myself before I could spill everything about my past.

"Who what?" he pressed.

I could hear the desperation creeping into his voice.

I shook my head. "Nothing. I was young and made some really dumb choices."

And suddenly it hit me - maybe I was just as much to blame. I had no idea he was in love with someone else. If I'd known, I never would have even considered marrying him.

"You never told me there was another woman in your life. If you had, I never would have screwed everything up like that."

His whole expression shifted when I said that. His eyebrows pulled together in a deep frown.

He stepped closer. "But you figured it out pretty quick after we got married. You never said any of this back then."

I raised my eyebrows, confused by where he was going with this. What was the point now?

I stared at his face, which was starting to look genuinely pissed off. But honestly? I was past caring about his moods.

The truth was, I hated this man with every fiber of my being. That hatred wasn't going anywhere - it had carved out a permanent home in my chest.

All the pain he'd put me through over the years? That was never leaving my heart. Not in this lifetime.

"You used to tell me you loved me," he said, his eyes boring into mine.

My eyes went wide. The question caught me completely off guard, and I had to look away.

I tried to back up, but he grabbed my waist and pulled me closer.

I froze, completely shocked by his move.

All those moments between us over the past five years flashed through my mind. Him trying to get close. Me pushing him away and hurting him right back.

Why couldn't he just let me live my life in peace?

"I know you loved me. You still love me, and you always will. You can't fake feelings like that."

His words sent a shiver through me. Every memory from our past hit me all at once, like a slideshow playing at lightning speed.

The whole world seemed to stop spinning around us.

I snapped back to reality when I realized he was leaning down, his face getting way too close to mine.

I shoved him away, anger flaring. "You're right. I did love you. More than any other woman ever could."

I saw something flicker in his eyes. I couldn't stop myself from continuing.

"But don't you dare fool yourself into thinking I still do. My heart's changed, and there's no one named Adrian in it anymore."
