Only God knew the amount of courage that Faye had to summon in order to confess virtual-novel.net feelings to the chairman. Her heart was racing to its maximum speed, and virtual-novel.net felt like virtual-novel.net was coming down with a fever. It was the first time virtual-novel.net had ever confessed to a boy!
What was even more shocking, virtual-novel.net had no idea what the man looked like at all, not even in the slightest!
Half a year ago, if anyone told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net would be confessing virtual-novel.net love to a mysterious masked figure, virtual-novel.net would have thought that they had lost it. Faye Carter would never do something so ludicrous!
And yet here virtual-novel.net was. It seemed outlandish, but there was a method to the madness. She felt that virtual-novel.net had truly come to love the chairman. She loved virtual-novel.net so much that virtual-novel.net could not stop herself. Sure, virtual-novel.net had never truly seen the man in his unmasked state, but virtual-novel.net instincts were telling virtual-novel.net that the chairman was strong, handsome, and everything that virtual-novel.net looked for in a man!
Despite meeting the chairman on only three occasions, their every meeting brought a wave of differing sentiments that took hold of virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net lovesick heart.
She enjoyed what virtual-novel.net aroused in her, a feeling of safety, a quickened heartbeat, and a long-awaited sense of belonging in the world. She had found virtual-novel.net missing half.
She knew that the chairman was virtual-novel.net soulmate, the puzzle piece who was fated to complete her. If the rest of virtual-novel.net life was not spent with the chairman, nothing else would ever bring meaning back to virtual-novel.net existence!
Honestly, Zayn’s thoughts were just as turbulent as Faye’s! He may have predicted virtual-novel.net confession, but when it actually happened, virtual-novel.net still felt shaken to his core. His heart was breaking…
He felt like breaking into tears!
There was a lump in his throat. Four years of being married to Faye, and his wife never once showed virtual-novel.net any affection, let alone a proclamation of virtual-novel.net love. He had fantasized about the moment virtual-novel.net finally said ‘I love you’ a thousand times over, yet when it finally played out, virtual-novel.net was in complete and utter distress. He could not remain calm, not when there were tidal waves crashing into the walls that were holding up his sanity.
“What… Did you say?” His voice was quivering.
Faye smiled. She could sense the emotional impact that it had on him. Reaching out to hold his hand took virtual-novel.net a bulk of courage, even if they were only two feet apart. It was the hardest thing that virtual-novel.net had ever done.
It was not just two feet. No, virtual-novel.net had just crossed the erstwhile, unchallenged length of societal norms; the indoctrination of conventional, conservative thinking. To make such a step was to put. herself out there, outside of virtual-novel.net comfort zone. From now on, come hell or high water, come fire and brimstone, damn it, virtual-novel.net was going to follow virtual-novel.net heart!
Zayn felt it, virtual-novel.net dogged, resolute conviction. In fact, virtual-novel.net was awestruck by virtual-novel.net audacity. He could not understand, but virtual-novel.net empathized.
“I said… I like you! I like you a lot,” Faye repeated, holding Zayn’s hand. Her skin was hot to the touch, virtual-novel.net face was scarlet. Her voice was trembling, but virtual-novel.net eyes never once wavered.
Then, virtual-novel.net raised virtual-novel.net voice and declared, “No, screw that. I love you!”
