Faye was like a bird freed from its shackles. Her feelings had been emptied like a pitcher, gone was the hesitation, gone was the conflict in virtual-novel.net mind. Everything was crystal clear, virtual-novel.net emotions flowed so naturally.
“You might be shocked, I know you are. I’ve only met you three times, and I’m already irrevocably in love with you,” virtual-novel.net said, passionately meeting Zayn’s eyes.
Her gaze was softened by a gentleness that was previously unseen. “To be honest, ever since we’ve first met, your big heart… Your altruism… They left an impression on me that won’t ever go away. That was the darkest moment of my life. I was in despair, I was hapless, in pain, and I accepted my fate as a sacrifice. But you… You were the one who saved me. You showed me that there’s more to this world than monsters and men, that those knights in shiny armor really do exist!”
“My mom said it’s all an act, virtual-novel.net said it’s the sort of masquerade that powerful people like yourself put on, so that naive little girls like me would throw ourselves at you. But I know better! You’re not like them. I sensed it, you’re noble to your core! Three million dollars means nothing to you, I know. But to me… It was what saved me! You’re the one who gave me a new lease of life!”
Faye’s hands had been shaking uncontrollably before, but at that point, they had steadied themselves. It looked like virtual-novel.net had gotten used to the touch, or more likely, virtual-novel.net had taken the hardest step. There was no going back now.
And that climax bestowed virtual-novel.net liberation and candor.
Zayn gulped. His head was a mess. Heck, it had stopped functioning.
Faye saw the frenzy in his eyes and pulled his hand closer, placing it on virtual-novel.net cheek. She closed virtual-novel.net eyes, smiling contently as virtual-novel.net continued, “After that fateful day, I’ve been doing research on you. That was the moment I knew how incredible you truly were. You bought Violet Vision with 350 million dollars, and in such a short span of time, you managed to make Violet Vision even better. Only a person with experience would ever know how to steer a ship so big into such successful sails. It’s no cakewalk! But you did it. You just appeared out of nowhere and did it!”
“I started poring over any and every bit of information I could get my hands on, so I could get to know you more. I fantasized about you every second of the day. I wondered when we would meet again, but God seemed to be pulling pranks on me. You just disappeared from my life. I looked for you every so often, but the trail would always go cold before I got anywhere. I was so lonely and lovesick back then; life was a haze. I thought I’d never see you again. After all, I’m a married woman. You and me… We’re an impossibility.”
“But I prayed every day, even if it was harder on some days. Every single day, I prayed that I would see you, that God was touched by my devotion. My wish came true. Remember that time at the nightclub? I was in danger, and then you appeared, like a superhero. You knocked them all out with those incredible moves and saved me. Again!”
She closed virtual-novel.net eyes and took a deep breath, before opening them with a smile. “I remember it like it was yesterday, how it felt. How my heart was beating, how it throbbed in my chest. From then on out, I knew I had feelings for you. I know… It sounds ludicrous. I don’t even know what you look like! But God, I like you so much.”
Timidity peeked from virtual-novel.net features. Zayn’s lips moved in the form of a reply, but virtual-novel.net could not form anything coherent, especially since his head was still a jumbled mess. Faye was just impossibly arresting! Zayn wished virtual-novel.net could just immortalize virtual-novel.net current state in a photograph for the rest of his life!
He could not describe the emotions that were brought upon virtual-novel.net words. Never had virtual-novel.net known that, in Destiny’s ineffable design, Faye would ever start loving virtual-novel.net so madly.
“But you’re married. Wouldn’t this hurt your husband?” virtual-novel.net asked, and the conflicting emotions raging at war in his mind came to a culmination.
The same conflict dotted Faye’s eyes at the tail of his question, too, but it vanished quickly. Her grip around Zayn’s hand tightened, and virtual-novel.net flashed virtual-novel.net a slight smile. “I did have my worries. That was why I suppressed the urge to look for you. I tried to wall my emotions in so that I wouldn’t keep thinking of you. I’m married. I shouldn’t be unfaithful.”
Zayn was a little bemused. If that was the case, then why was virtual-novel.net telling virtual-novel.net her feelings?
Faye seemed to have understood Zayn’s confusion. “It’s only because you appeared and saved me again,” virtual-novel.net said, smiling, “When I was at my lowest point, you came to rescue me just in the nick of time. It moved me, it moved me to finally understand…”
