Chapter 23 Damien
I watch as a single tear streams down her cheek. Not even her mask can hide the pain of watching the man she loves deceive her.
My muscles tighten. I can practically see the wheels in her head turning, wondering if perhaps the man walking past her isn’t Cain.
After all, he too is wearing a mask.
But while Eden’s mask hides her sorrow. Cain’s mask hides his lies.
Hand clutching her chest, she turns, looking in the direction he left. Hoping there’s been a grave mistake.
My fallen angel doesn’t yet realize that while her mind tries to justify her lover’s betrayal…her heart already knows the truth.
It’s why that lonesome tear is making its way down her chin.
The heart is the greatest fortune teller of all time. It’s always one step ahead of the curve.
Unfortunately for me—Eden’s pain is something I empathize with.
Because I’ve experienced it myself.
