Chapter 342 - Engraved a scar in my heart... (1/2)

Her eyes showed her determination with a hint of strength as she looked directly into Cole's eyes which were staring back at her with an expectant yet confused gaze as she said, ”Fine Cole… I'm ready to give you another chance..”

Cole was not breathing properly till now because of his hypertension related to Myra's answer as he was really scared thinking that Myra might not give him a second chance after her action on the day of Lucinda and Henry's engagement party...

However, he got a big relief after he heard Myra's positive reply thus he left a big breath which he was holding till now without his own knowledge.

His eyes soften a bit as he said, ”Thanks a lot Myra. Thanks for giving me a chance to set everything accordingly like before. I promise this time I'll not break your trust again.”

As Cole took an oath to protect their relationship, Myra didn't show any kind of expression on her face. She sported a neutral face while her eyes were just penetrating through his soul...

The room again fell in silence as Cole was waiting for her to speak something and finally his wait was over but in a wrong way which broke his last bit if stupor..

”Cole…You didn't understand properly what I tried to mean. You completely got a misconception about my words. I just said that I'll give you a chance…but didn't say which kind of chance..!!” Myra said.

Cole was perplexed about the whole thing that Myra was saying, so he asked, ”Myra… You just offered me a second chance which means…we are going to stable our relationship more than before…right??”

”No Cole.. I'm giving you a chance to be my friend again. Because in this life, I can't accept you as my boyfriend ever. After coming back from the party and hearing the love stories of the three couples, I thought very hard about us. And trust me….

I couldn't find any future of us. Do you know why? Because I can be with a guy who doesn't love me but I can't be with the person who insulted me without considering my feelings. I can't patch up with the man who doesn't have faith in me.” Myra said with a straight face.

Whereas Cole was completely shocked at Myra's statements which were absolutely true but he didn't want to back off.

So he tried his best to reason with her, ”But Myra.. That was in past. Now I've changed..”

”Exactly Cole. Whatever was between us, is just a past now. And we should keep it like that. Honestly Cole, I once thought of getting back to you. But the self-esteem of mine didn't allow me to do so…

A man who can never respect his girlfriend and treat her like a shit, can never be accepted by me. Even if you rectify all your mistakes, still I'll not be able to show the respect that I once had for you. If there is no respect and trust in a relationship, then it'll fall down one day or another…

And I'm thankful to you that I came to know about it before we could go any further. If it would have been after our marriage then it'd be worse for me as neither could I leave you nor could I accept you that time…

So thanks for showing me the right path before I could regret more. We'll be friends Cole but don't expect any kind of commitments from me. I won't be able to give you this peace of my mind ever as you had already engraved a scar in my heart which can't be erased if I decide to stay with you. So thanks for changing but we can't be together anymore..” Myra said very calmly with a stern voice which was enough to show Cole that she didn't want anymore conversation about it.

Cole was completely shaken with the piercing words that she had thrown to him and his heart started to break like tiny particles of glasses and he wasn't able to utter any words.
