Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 205 Do You Hate Me

When the maid heard Victor's voice, she trembled in fear and called out to him, "Mr. Sullivan."

After coldly glancing at the maid, Victor fixed his eyes on Rachel. There was an intensity in his gaze that made her heart race. She felt an unsettling mix of emotions as she met his eyes—anger, fear, and something else she couldn't quite identify.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Rachel," Victor began, his voice low and dangerous, "what are you doing here?"

Rachel straightened her back, trying to muster up her courage. "I came to talk to you, Victor. We need to discuss what happened."

Victor's expression darkened. "There's nothing to discuss. You have no place here anymore."

The maid, sensing the tension, quietly slipped away, leaving Rachel and Victor alone. Rachel took a deep breath, refusing to back down. "I know you're angry, but we need to talk about this. You can't just shut me out."

Victor took a step closer, his eyes never leaving hers. "Shut you out? Rachel, do you have any idea what you've done? You've turned everything upside down."

Rachel's resolve wavered for a moment, but she stood her ground. "Victor, I didn't mean for things to get this bad. I just want to make things right."

Victor laughed bitterly. "Make things right? How do you propose to do that, Rachel? You've already caused enough damage."

Rachel felt tears prickling at the corners of her eyes. "I know I've made mistakes, but I want to fix them. I want to help Abby, and I want to help you."

Victor's expression softened slightly, but there was still a hard edge to his voice. "Help me? Rachel, the best way you can help is by staying out of my life."

Rachel's heart ached at his words, but she refused to give up. "I can't do that, Victor. I can't just walk away."

Victor shook his head, frustration evident in his eyes. "Then you're a fool, Rachel. Because staying will only cause more pain for both of us."

Rachel took a step closer, her voice trembling. "Victor, do you hate me?"

Victor was silent for a moment, his eyes searching hers. Finally, he spoke, his voice softer than before. "Rachel, I don't hate you. But I can't trust you either. And without trust, there's nothing left."

Rachel felt her heart break at his words, but she knew he was right. Trust was something that had been shattered between them, and rebuilding it would be nearly impossible.
