Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 123

Anastasia was sobbing so hard she could barely breathe.

Back then, she’d thought her rescuer was just a stranger—she’d even planned to thank her savior once her injuries healed. But three days later, when she died in the street, it was from her enemy’s lips that she learned the truth—learned that he was dead.

“Darling…”

Her voice, thick with hurt and grief, twisted Harrison’s heart.

“I’m here, sweetheart. Shh, don’t cry.” He pulled her petite frame into his arms, his large hand soothing gentle circles over her trembling back. He pressed soft, lingering kisses into her hair.

Anyone who saw this would be stunned—Mr. Harrison Lancaster, the man known for his cold composure, could be this gentle and patient?

Hearing his voice, Anastasia’s tears began to fall all over again.

Not wanting to see her cry anymore, Harrison glanced at the bouquet on the side table and changed the subject. “What does a single rose mean?”

She’d given him twelve roses before, each with a special meaning. Surely this one had a reason too—his little wife would never give him a thoughtless gift.

Anastasia sniffled, fresh tears glistening on her lashes. “It means… you’re the only one.”

He leaned closer, voice soft. “What?”

She swallowed, then whispered, “A single rose means—you’re my one and only.” Clinging to him, she looked up, eyes shining with tears like fractured starlight. “I was born for you.”

Harrison’s heart gave a sharp, painful jolt. His arm tightened around her waist.

A storm flickered in his eyes. He held her gaze, searching. “Ana… are you really not afraid of me?”

He was still haunted by what had happened at the club. He couldn’t quite believe her answer.

Tears spilled down Anastasia’s cheeks as guilt pricked her. She hated that her reaction had hurt him.

“I’m not afraid…” She shook her head again and again. “I might be scared of a lot of things, but I’m never afraid of you.”

As soon as the words left her lips, his restraint snapped. Before she could react, the world spun. Suddenly she was pinned to the bed, with Harrison above her—predatory, intense, like a beast ready to devour her.
