Villain Ch 297. You Need To Learn To Let Go
Sophia\'s heart shattered into countless pieces as the reality of Allen\'s intimate encounters with other women sank in. A wave of sorrow washed over her, but she knew she couldn\'t express her anger or voice her complaints. After all, they were no longer in a relationship.
Trying to steady her emotions, she mustered the courage to pose a question that reflected her deepest fears. "But it\'s just a casual, sexual relationship, right? Like friends with benefits?" she ventured, desperately hoping for a glimmer of reassurance.
Allen\'s response cut through the air, laced with a tinge of exasperation. "Do I strike you as the type of person who enjoys that kind of relationship?" he shot back, challenging her to employ a bit of common sense.
Sophia\'s lips quivered as she grappled with her emotions, her eyes welling up with tears. She knew she had to find a solution, a way to bridge the growing divide between them.
An idea suddenly sparked within her, and she reached out, grasping Allen\'s shoulder. Her gaze locked onto his, a mix of desperation and determination shining in her eyes.
"If you\'re willing, I can sleep with you, and we can find our way back to each other," she pleaded, her voice quivering with a vulnerability she had never shown before. In her mind, it was a last-ditch effort to regain the love and connection they once shared.
Allen\'s mocking laughter reverberated through the air, mingling with a tinge of bitterness. He swiftly shrugged off Sophia\'s hand, the weight of her proposal weighing heavily upon him.
"That easy? Seriously?" he scoffed, his tone laced with mockery. "You guarded your virginity with the utmost caution, always pushing me away whenever we shared a kiss. And now... you\'re extending an invitation just like that when we no longer have any sort of relationship?" The bitter irony of the situation seeped into his words, a mix of frustration and disbelief coloring his tone.
Sophia\'s frustration reached its peak, her voice laced with desperation as she attempted to explain her intentions. "I just want to give you what you want!" she exclaimed, her words tinged with a mixture of exasperation and longing. She believed that by offering herself to him, by meeting his desires, she could bridge the gap that had grown between them.
Allen\'s frustration reached its peak as he furrowed his brows, his eyes narrowing in disbelief. "Give me what I want? So, you think sex is the only thing I want?" he questioned, his tone dripping with incredulity.
Sophia\'s response came swiftly, a touch of defensiveness in her voice. "Isn\'t that what all men want? To sleep with beautiful women or have casual flings with their crushes until they\'re satisfied?" she reasoned, her words tinged with a hint of resignation.
A deep sigh escaped Allen\'s lips as he averted his gaze, his frustration growing more palpable by the second. "Oh my God... I can\'t believe this," he muttered, a mixture of disappointment and disbelief coloring his tone. "After all the time we spent living together, you still think that\'s all I want from you?"
Sophia fell into an uneasy silence, her thoughts racing as she grappled with the weight of Allen\'s words. The realization began to dawn on her that perhaps she had overlooked the true depth of his desires and intentions.
With a pained expression, Allen finally broke the silence, his voice tinged with a mix of longing and frustration. "I want loyalty, Sophia. I want your trust," he asserted, his words carrying a weight of longing for a deeper connection. "If you\'re so quick to offer yourself to me, what\'s to stop you from doing the same with another man? Elio has always had your back. Liam and Darren have harbored feelings for you for a while now. And that red-haired guy, he seems to have a big crush on you," he confessed, his voice revealing the underlying anger and hurt he felt.
He took a deep breath, the weight of his emotions evident in his exhalation. The words spilled out of him, pouring forth with a mix of sadness, frustration, and a tinge of resignation.
"I know you always saw me as your puppet. You shattered my heart and destroyed my trust in you," Allen began, his voice tinged with a hint of bitterness. "When I found you with that guy, I was consumed by anger and I really wanted to kill him there. But I chose to walk away."
"You were the reason I entered the solo tournament, even when Liam and Darren ditched me for Elio. I won that tournament for you... I needed the prize money so I could give you everything you ever dreamed of. That Louis Vuiton bag you always admired, those Chaunel dresses you\'d gaze at on your laptop screen, those extravagant vacation photos on your dream board," he confessed, his voice filled with a mix of disappointment and regret.
Sophia\'s heart shattered into a million pieces as she absorbed the weight of Allen\'s words. She had been blind to his efforts, his silent gestures of love and sacrifice. The realization hit her like a tidal wave, the harsh truth that she had taken his love for granted, oblivious to the pain she had caused him. The realization of her own foolishness stung her deeply, leaving her speechless and filled with remorse.
"That\'s how much you controlled me in the past, Sophia," Allen continued, his voice heavy with resignation. "But not anymore." With those final words, he closed the door on their past, shaking his head in a mixture of disappointment and self-preservation. He had finally found the strength to break free from the toxic hold she had over him.
"And I\'m here, chasing after you, begging for your forgiveness," she declared, her voice cracking with vulnerability. "That\'s how much you\'ve had a hold over me." Sophia\'s voice trembled with desperation as she tried to reverse the damage caused by her previous actions. The weight of her remorse was palpable in her words, each syllable laced with raw emotion.
Their exchange had drawn the attention of passersby, their curious gazes casting a spotlight on their intimate conversation. But Sophia was oblivious to the audience around them; her focus was solely on Allen, on reaching through to him and conveying the depths of her feelings.
"I\'ve done everything for you, in the hopes of earning your forgiveness. Because... because I love you," she continued, her voice rising in volume, bordering on a yell.
Allen\'s frustration reached its peak as he raised his voice, the strain evident in his tone. "Then stop loving me!" he exclaimed, his words filled with a mix of anger and exasperation.
Sophia\'s eyes welled up with tears, her emotions on the brink of overflowing. "I can\'t!" she retorted, her voice tinged with both defiance and desperation. The thought of letting go of her love for Allen seemed impossible, an unbearable burden she couldn\'t bear to face.
A heavy silence hung in the air as their words echoed between them, each moment stretching out in agonizing anticipation. Allen\'s expression hardened, his voice laced with determination. "That\'s your problem, not mine," he declared, his words sharp with frustration. "Stop pulling me into your problems."
Taking a moment to collect himself, Allen inhaled deeply, his breaths serving as a temporary respite from the tension that gripped them. "It\'s over," he stated firmly, his tone laced with annoyance. "The past will not be repeated. You need to learn to let go."
Sophia\'s heart shattered as his words pierced through her, the weight of his final statement crashing down upon her like an avalanche. In an act of desperation, she unleashed her tears, hoping that her vulnerability would sway him, that he would offer her solace and wipe away her pain. But to her surprise, Allen remained unmoved, walking away without uttering a single word.
