Chapter 408 - Empty heart... (1/2)

Looking up at her in the eyes, he confessed, ”It's true that I've loved you once in my life more than myself and became crazy over you so badly that I had no idea about right or wrong. Truth to be told, I still like you a lot…”

As these words left from his mouth, Amelia let out a huge gasp..

She gaped at him unbelievably and shuddered because of the thought of Alonzo still liking Veronica even after days of their dating.

Was her luck so bad that she couldn't get the love of her life for herself?

Why everytime the person whom she thought of spending her life with, likes someone else?

She felt pain, only pain!!

It was hurting her so much as if her heart had been pierced through again and again by sharp weapons..

Her heart was bleeding internally without knowing how to stop it...

The others were also agitated with what Alonzo had said as they couldn't understood that how could a person date a girl when he still had feelings for his first love?

However, the person who should be the angriest among all of them was sitting there quietly without muttering even a single word.

Reuben was sitting there silently looking at Alonzo deeply while hugging Veronica's shoulder who had laid her head on his broad chest.

They knew that whatever people were thinking was nothing nearest to what Alonzo wanted to say..

After being in a relationship for almost five years, they had gradually learned to get a right grip on someone's emotions..

The look Alonzo was giving at Veronica right now was not a look of affection but more like of regrets which also had a ting of apology in it..

But the way Alonzo was staring at Amelia few minutes ago, was enough to convey that it was more than liking for Alonzo towards Amelia..

So they just waited for Alonzo to complete his sentence before speaking..

Alonzo turned his face towards Amelia, only to notice her tear filled eyes. He gave her an assuring smile and looked back at Veronica who was staring at him with an expressionless face.

Taking a deep breath, he finally started narrating again, ”Yes.. I still do like you. But this liking is only as a friend. I just think of you as my friend from five years and I wish to remain same for the rest of my life..

So Vero.. Are you ready to befriend me again? I promise this time, I'll stick to only friendship cause my empty heart has already found someone to fill it with love and happiness.”
