Shattered by the Alpha Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 88

Chapter73

I couldn’t believe my cars and his colour changing statements, like a intoxicated chameleon who can’t decide which colour to put on.

“Give me a break Keith! I yelled frustratingly, “One moment she’s your first love the other you’re getting over that feelings do you have any idea about you’re trying to explain here?”

“I am trying my best.” He burst out as his chest heaved with rapid breaths.

“You don’t know how disgusting I feel, knowing what I’ve done to you,” he bellowed self–loathing coating his explosion. “I can barely recognize the person I’ve become. My mental and sexual frustration consumed me, and I let it destroy us. And Taylor… he knew exactly what he was doing. He set me up, played on my weaknesses, and I fell for it.” He retorted.

“No, Taylor might have set you up, but you’re the one responsible for what happened, Keith,” I seethed. “If you were struggling, you should’ve talked to me. But I was just a doll to you, right? A trophy to impress and keep around, not the woman you chose to be with,

not a partner to share your struggles with.” My words poured out in a downpour of pain, anger, and disgust.

“Did you ever truly love me, or was I just another result of people’s advice?” I yelled furiously.

“I love you!” Keith bellowed emotions raw. “I know it’s hard to believe, but when I saw Rose again, I realized my feelings for her were nothing compared to what I feel for you. The care, thoughtfulness, and love I have for you knows no bounds.” He sobbed, his body shaking.

But his words only made my stomach churn. My guard was slipping, and I couldn’t afford to let it drop. My head spun, and I regretted eating breakfast. The nausea was overwhelming.

“Right, Three years to realize I’m the best option, and a one night to understand you love me?” I screamed, my voice tearing through the house. “You’re telling me it took a cheap thrill with Rose to make you appreciate me? Every time I think the pain can’t get worse, you unleash another blow.” I shot back, panting with rage, my chest heaving.

“I love you, Karissa,” Keith stated firmly. “I know holding onto feelings for someone else while I was with you was wrong, but I’m only human. We all make mistakes.” I clenched my fists, fighting the urge to slap him across the face. His ridiculous justification only fueled my outrage and I realize no one but he himself could help him at this point.

“I did everything right with you,” he whispered, his hands cradling my face as he drew closer. “Look into my eyes, Doll. I know loving two people was wrong, but you were always the one who truly mattered. You’re the one I want by my side, now and forever,” he pleaded despairingly.

“And I should be grateful, right?” I snapped, taking his hands off me “Because this is a fairy tale, not real life, where apologies erase the pain and you get to play the remorseful hero. Meanwhile, I’m supposed to be the naive, ever–loving heroine, forgiving and forgetting because you’ve suddenly realized your love for me?” I barked, my words dripping with sarcastic outrage.

“For three years, Keith, you gave me only half of what I deserved,” I growled, my voice lowly furious. “You were stuck on a fantasy, chasing something forever out of reach. Now that it’s clear those feelings aren’t reciprocated, and reality didn’t live up to your imagination, I’m suddenly the one you want?”

“I still remember the first time I saw you,” Keith began, his voice slow, tender. “For years, I tried to be the best version of myself, to not hurt you. But I still messed up.” He paused, his eyes filled with remorse.

“Now, I’m left with an empty home, four hollow walls that echo your absence. I see your smile in my bed, feel your warmth in my arms, only to realize you’re really gone driven away by my own hands.” His exposure splits in broken words. “I ache to hear your laughter, your chatter. I long to wake up to your beautiful face, to feel blessed to call you mine, Karissa.” He asserted softly, his guilty gaze stirring a pang of pity within me.

“Nothing of these is what I felt for Rose.”

ve already thrown the pendant, and I’ve scheduled an appointment to remove the tattoo, and I’ll be visiting a Therapist to work on myself “he whispered, his voice filled with sincerity as he searched for my gaze. “Because I knew I had to change the things that have driven you away before I tried earning your forgiveness, You’re the only one I want, Doll, I swear.”

“This was something you should’ve done before you destroyed your life a

and mine.” I scoffed at him
