Chapter 276: Stuck with Him

Astrid’s

POV

This wasn’t about me-it was about him, about setting him free. He needed to see that I wasn’t the one for him, that holding onto me would only bring him misery.

I looked at him, my heart breaking as I saw the pain in his eyes, the confusion, the hurt I’d caused by not being honest sooner.
