The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 573

"I want to come home, Devin. I miss you," she said, and I knew she wasn't lying. Susan was too arrogant to beg.

"You can come home, but I won't commit," I said, and she was silent.

"I have to protect my heart, Susan. You have broken it severally. I can't handle another heartbreak. You can come home, but I won't pressure you into dating me.

I hate that you are all by yourself out there, so come home. We won't sleep in the same room. You can come home." I said, and she continued to cry. What I had said wasn't what she hoped for.

"I am ready to go all the way with you, Devin. My answer to you is yes. I am not thinking about it anymore," she said, and I sighed. The offer was off the table.

"I am not willing to do that anymore," I said, letting the words fall out.

I did not want her to hurt me again. All it takes is her seeing Sylvester with Tamia and their pups, and she would go back to her sad mood, crying, screaming, and throwing things at me.

I did not break her heart. I did not force her to leave him. That was on Maurice and fate; why should I pay the price?

"You can come home, but we will just be friends," I told her, ready to hang up, even though it was difficult.

"Tell me you will leave room for me to prove myself to you," she finally said, and I was shocked.

This was the first time she would plead with me. I had always been on the begging side.

"I do not know, but I won't hurt you," I said, and I meant it.

I won't get involved with people. I planned to respect her and treat her like a queen, but I also planned to guard my heart. I have cried in private too many times.

"I will be at your house in an hour," she finally said, and I was shocked. I honestly thought she was in the north. Who would have thought she was in Greenville?

"I will leave the front door open," I told her, not showing my excitement.

"You can stay in any of the rooms you like," I told her, and she thanked me and hung up.

I did not know what I was doing but knew I had just kickstarted another rollercoaster ride with Susan.

I planned to give her time and watch her.

I went to open my front door and then checked all the rooms in my house to be sure they were in order.

The Omegas had done an excellent job keeping the rooms neat even though no one occupied them.

I looked forward to Susan's arrival.

I returned to my room and tried to sleep, but I couldn't.

Rex was giddy, and I tried to tell my wolf it wouldn't be as before. We had to give her space so she could sort through her emotions, but Rex wouldn't have it. He missed running in the woods with Susan's wolf. He missed Susan.

On days that she was in a good mood, she was the best company to be with. She was fun and carefree. Nothing uptight. She was never too scared to dirty her hands and roll in the dust.

She was perfect, but being around her became unbearable when the glum slides in.

The painful part was that the gloomy days were more than the happy ones.

I loved Susan, but there was just too much to deal with.

I needed her to decide and not just see me as someone she could pass the time with when feeling lonely.

I knew she wasn't doing that, but that was how it felt, and it hurt badly.
