His dark eyes bore into hers with desperate intensity as he voiced the question that had been consuming him.
"Tell me what I need to do to earn your forgiveness. This guilt is destroying me, Kimi."
"So that's why you're here? You think forgiveness is something you can simply demand?" Kimi's voice carried bitter disappointment. "Do you believe it's effortless to pardon someone who caused you such pain?"
Kolton felt the overwhelming urge to close the distance between them, to pull her into his arms and confess that his love for her remained unwavering. No soul on earth could match the depth of his devotion to her.
"I understand it's not simple. But I need you to know how sorry I am."
His relentless apologies grated against Kimi's nerves like nails on glass. She couldn't bear to listen to another word. All she wanted was for him to disappear from her life.
Why couldn't he grant her this one simple request?
