Chapter 129
NIKOLAJ'S POV.
I stared at her. A lovely person, glowing under the moonlight. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.
Her big dark eyes filled with tears again and again, which spilled quickly down her fair cheeks.
She was still in her wedding dress, complete with makeup and a veil. Just seeing her filled my heart with huge joy, but that joy was mixed with an equal amount of pain.
Deep down, I think I wanted to see her before I left, but I knew that seeing her would make it hard to walk away.
And when she told me how she felt, saying she loved me with such desperation and bravery, I couldn't stop the wave of heat that rose inside me. It felt like my heart was growing. A mix of joy and sadness I had never felt before took over.
Was I really leaving her? Even after finding out she felt the same way? That she didn't just see me as a friend, but actually loved me? When I knew she wasn't happy?
