Ru almost choked on air as his words had struck her like lightning. 'His life? For a lifetime?' Those words sounded so bloody wrong but they felt so bloody right. Even her hand trembled and she had to clutch her knee to hide her trembling.
Those were simple but yet mind-boggling words for her. She had lived between men, grew up like one herself. But she never thought such words could have any effect on her. Surprisingly, they did! Her mind was in shambles.
Before she could get her composure back, she heard his voice again, "I can tell that she means a lot to you. And you might mean a lot more to her. But I don't plan on backing off without a fight."
'Hold on! What?' She couldn't tell what he was saying. 'Does he think Alev is in love with Rong? But that would mean I'm in love with myself!' She really wanted to laugh at this irony.
"Wha-What are we fighting for?" Ru stuttered probably for the very first time in her life.
