The Reason

"I just don't love you anymore."

Haden's heart was hurting when she said that to him. How can she didn't understand how much he loved her?

He scoffed. "You don't love me, huh?"

Cheara gulped. "Yes."

"Since when?"

Cheara was surprise with his quetion. She didn't prepared to answer that.

"Uh..."

Haden snorted. "So you really want to break up with me just because you bored of me, huh?"

Cheara clenched her fist, but kept her face straight while in truth, she wanted to tell him everything.

The reason why she wanted to break up with him was because she... was afraid. Afraid that his love was just a mask of his obsession towards her. Afraid that he didn't trully loved her all these years. And most importantly, she didn't want to hindered him.

His dream was to become his father's successor. But to be able to do that, he should marry someone that his mother picked for him, which was one of the shareholder's daughter, so that he would have strong people around him.

His mother went to visit her not long ago and told her everything. She said she could become his mistress and not the real madam of Akio's clan. Her pride was crush indeed, as well as her heart. So, she wanted to end it as soon as possible.

She didn't want to share him to other woman, let alone shared his love. She wasn't a strong woman, not like that. She loved him, but the thought of him embrace another woman beside her, was so painful. But she was just a painter, and not that famous on top of that.

How could she compared herself with one of the shareholder's daughter who lived and talked well? Cheara still maintaned her straight face when she looked at Haden's eyes.

"It's not that strange for a couple to get bored with each other."

"I'm not!"

"Well, I do."

Haden stood and approached her. After that he kneeled in front of her as he slowly grabbed her hands. Cheara didn't say anything and just stared at him.

"Cheara," he called her name while he stared at their interwined fingers. "Please, don't do this."

Cheara sighed. "If you trully love me..." he looked up. "...if you do, then please prove it."

He squeezed her hands. There was hope in his green eyes. "Anything. I'll do anything."

Cheara smiled. "Take me to dinner tomorrow at our usual restaurant."

Haden lifted his hand and caressed her cheek. "You always surprise me with your request."

"Well, I don't want to trouble you with anything."

"But you did for days now."

Cheara smiled, sheepishly. "Sorry."

Haden smiled sweetly at her then he moved closer to her. When their lips were almost touch each other, Haden stopped. But he didn't move away from her when she asked her, "May I kiss you?"

Cheara stared at his lips, she was hypnothized with the smell of his parfume and his fresh and mint breath. "Why do you have to ask? Kiss me," she allowed him.

And without wasted anymore time, he kissed her lips so passionately. He putted his hand around her slim waist and pulled her closer to his broad and masculine chest while the other hand was on the back of her neck so that he could deepened the kiss.

Cheara put her hands around his neck. The kiss was so sweet and intoxicating. Then Haden pulled away from her as they were panted. Cheara pulled him closer. "Haden," she whispered, wanting more.

Haden put his hands on her waist. "Cheara, what if I can't hold back myself and devour you completely?"

"Then do it."

Haden looked at her red face and how she panted from the kiss. The truth was they were never done it before even though they lived together.

"Cheara."

"Shut up," she growled and pulled him closer to kissed him.

"Damn it."

Haden carried her to her bedroom and put her on the bed gently. He looked at her one more time. "Cheara, I will not stop even if you tell me to."

Cheara caressed his cheek. "Then don't stop."

Haden kissed the palm of her hand and looked at her with passion in his eyes. "You're mine, Cheara," he said before he kissed her again.

He didn't see the tears that fall from her eyes when he said that wholeheartedly.
