Yasmin's POV

"Yasmin, we really need to talk" Malik said as he walked in through the door that I was trying so hard to close

"There is nothing to say"

"Please just hear me out" he replied. I could see the fear in his eyes, the fear of me saying no

"Be my guest, although I wonder, what can you possibly say in your defense? Go ahead Malik, the floor is all yours" I answered while standing up, because he is not going to take all my precious time 'yeah precious time doing nothing' the voice in my head replied

"Yasmin, please hear me out, and don't interrupt me until I finish"

He took a deep breathe "I am sorry I am not the one you need in your life. I f*cked up big time, and I am sorry. I understand why you don't want me in your life. I know I am an as*hole, and I am only bringing you pain.
I am sorry I ruined your life, it was never my intention. I am sorry I am messed up in the head and damaged. You probably think I am rotten to the core, you are right. I know I am a mess, my soul is broken, and this is the last thing you need in your life, but I tried
I swear I tried to let you go, but I just can't
F*ck! You are the only thing in my life that makes sense right now. You are the only one that can keep me sane. I am a big mess, you probably think I am selfish,Or I am not capable of love, but that is not true. I don't know how or when, but I fell in love with you Yasmin. I truly love you and I wish you would give me one more chance. A second chance to show you how much I care about you. I need you Yasmin, please don't shut me out anymore. Please don't do this to me, I am such an idiot,But an idiot who wants to spend to rest of his life by your side. Are you going to forgive me and give me a second chance Green?"

By now, my face surely looks like a waterfall. I don't even know why I was crying. Was I sad? Was I happy? Was I angry? I don't even know anymore. I was feeling all these mixed up feelings.

"Please Yasmin say something"

"I- Malik I don't know what to say. You broke my heart you know. I - I trusted you and you cheated on me. For me this was more than just a simple contract, but I guess that was not the case for you. I should have expected this"

"Yasmin I swear I never thought about cheating on you. I might be a jerk but that would be a low blow coming from me"

"Why are you denying what I've seen with my two eyes? The pictures? The message? Are you going to tell me that was not you ?"

"I am not going to say it wasn't me, because that would be lying to you. I might lie to other people Yasmin, but I will never lie to you. But there are always two sides to a story. Pictures can deceive us you know. For starters, the girl on that picture is my ex fiancé. Yes, I wanted to marry her, but I can assure you that was in the past, I got over her a year ago. And after I met you, and got to know you this little amount of time, I can finally say that I care about you. So what you saw on that picture is her failed attempt to seduce me. She called me earlier told me to see her, I refused, and when I was coming to see you, she called me sounding so scared and asking for help. I was near her hotel when she called and I thought I could get there before the police, but I called them, I even have the recording to prove it, here I got it from them and you can listen to it" He said giving me his phone. I shook my head as a sign of don't you dare come near me
