Chapter 79 Confession
Cecilia's heart raced as she listened to Daniel's words.
Her emotions were in turmoil, and she couldn't help but wonder about the complex feelings that had developed so quickly.
She knew it was unusual to feel such a strong connection to someone she had only recently met.
But the way Daniel treated her was unlike anything she had experienced before.
It was strange, yet undeniably appealing, and she couldn't deny the attraction she felt towards him.
As they stood there, amidst the chaos of the unfolding scene, Cecilia realized that her feelings for Daniel were growing stronger by the minute.
She wasn't sure where this would lead, but she was eager to let it continue.
At that moment, Cecilia cherished everything about Daniel.
His warmth, his protective nature, and his reassuring words were all precious to her.
She couldn't help but feel deeply moved by his actions and words.
Even though she felt a sense of responsibility for the incident that had occurred, Daniel's embrace and his declaration that she was all he needed filled her with a sense of comfort and happiness she had never experienced before.
It was as if all the pieces of her life were falling into place, and she couldn't deny the profound impact he was having on her.
As they stood together, Cecilia couldn't help but smile, feeling grateful for the unexpected turn of events that had brought them together.
After a few seconds, they finally separated.
Daniel's soft eyes were still fixed on Cecilia, his concern evident.
He gently brushed a stray strand of hair away from her face, his fingers lingering for a moment.
"I'm sorry if it's too cruel for you," he confessed, his voice barely above a whisper, filled with a mix of emotions, guilt, relief, and a hint of vulnerability.
He felt guilty for revealing a side of him he had kept hidden.
Cecilia, however, surprised him with her response.
She smiled, her cheeks flushed with a faint blush.
Her fingers fidgeted with the fabric of her dress as she admitted, "No... I think you look quite cool."
Her voice trembled slightly, but her gaze remained fixed on Daniel's, showing her admiration for his actions and the newfound connection between them.
Moreover, despite the gruesome scene unfolding before her, Cecilia remained surprisingly composed.
There was no hint of shock or horror in her expression.
Instead, a sense of satisfaction welled up within her.
She didn't bat an eye, nor did she feel any guilt as the men met their grisly end.
All she felt was an odd mixture of relief and happiness, knowing that the man who had disturbed her date had been dealt with in such a fittingly dramatic fashion.
Daniel's voice carried a gentle, romantic undertone as he whispered, "Let's continue our date."
Cecilia responded with a nod, her heart racing as she leaned against his chest, feeling the warmth of his embrace.
Daniel's smile grew even more tender as he held her close, savouring this unexpected moment of intimacy on their date.
It was a small, romantic chapter in their growing connection.
About the matter of the engagement, he would think about it later, and would 'kindly visit' this Kail Family.
In the midst of this moment, the world around them seemed to fade into the background.
Despite the gruesome scene of mangled bodies, Daniel and Cecilia found solace in each other's presence.
"Just relax, Cecilia...everything is fine," Daniel's soothing words were a balm to her troubled soul.
He held her close with his voice like a gentle whisper amidst the chaos.
Cecilia, leaning against his chest, found comfort in the rhythmic beating of his heart.
It was a simple, yet profound sensation.
At that moment, she realized that despite the chaos and danger of the world, being with Daniel was a sanctuary.
The feeling of safety in his arms was something she'd cherish forever, a bond that grew stronger amidst the chaos of that fateful day.
In this surreal moment, Cecilia acted on her deepest emotions.
She held Daniel's hand with a tenderness that defied the world's turmoil and gently placed it over her chest, just above her heart.
The surprise in Daniel's eyes was evident,? her grip held firm and he couldn't bring himself to break the connection.
His heart began to wander, mirroring the unexpected turn of events.
Cecilia's voice, filled with unwavering sincerity, broke the silence.
"I know you must have been worried about my judgment towards you," she confessed, her eyes locked onto his.
"But Daniel... I should tell you this... I think I have fallen for you and my feelings for you will never cease to disappear, no matter how people think of you."
As her words hung in the air, there was an undeniable sweetness in the midst of the situation.
Her heartfelt declaration of love, shared openly and honestly, created a bond between them that transcended the chaos of the world around them.
Cecilia's confession continued to pour out as if a dam had been broken, and her emotions flowed freely.
"Call it love at first sight or love being blind," she spoke with a soft, earnest tone.
"I truly have feelings for you to the point where I can't stop thinking about you."
Daniel, who had his own share of doubts and insecurities in the past, knew that this moment called for a different response.
He had experienced an alternate future, one where he had held back his feelings and lived with regret.
That future had taught him the value of seizing the moment, of not being overly cautious when it came to matters of the heart.
Daniel's response was a heartfelt admission of his own feelings.
"Cecilia," he began, a warm smile tugging at the corners of his lips, "I think calling it both may be the right answer''
''From the moment I met you, I couldn't stop thinking about you, and it's not a lie to say that I want us to be more than friends''
''It's kind of weird that we've only met less than 5 times, yet our feelings were already blooming."
He chuckled softly, and Cecilia couldn't contain her excitement, cheering silently for her success in making him interested in her.
Her victory was evident in her radiant expression.
"But do you think...you want to be with me...?''
''Can you handle the thought of someone who has had his hands stained with blood?"
As his doubt crept in, she felt a pang of concern, and he needed to hear her honest answer to those questions that weighed on his mind.
Her response, however, was nothing short of heartwarming.
She looked deeply into his eyes and spoke with unwavering sincerity.
"Silly, didn't you hear earlier? No matter how much of a bad person you are, I'll be there for you."
Her gentle touch on his cheeks, with each hand on either side of his face, conveyed a depth of love and commitment that words alone could never fully express.
With that touch and her words, Cecilia assured Daniel that she was willing to stand by him, no matter what challenges they might face in the future.
It was a promise that bound them together, and in each other's arms, they found solace and hope for the days ahead.
And in that moment, with their hands intertwined over her heart, the world faded away, leaving only their shared connection and the warmth of their emotions.
Cecilia's words were like a soothing melody to Daniel's ears, a balm for his troubled soul.
Her smile, radiant with love and understanding, left him in awe of her pure and beautiful heart.
"When you need a shoulder to cry on, I'll be there for you," she assured him, her words brimming with sincerity and compassion.
But it didn't stop there. Cecilia's love and support seemed boundless as she continued, "When you need to vent your anger, I'll be there for you''
''And if the world denies your existence, then my love for you is as vast as the neverending expanding universe."
Her declaration resonated deeply within him, and he could feel the strength of her conviction, stronger even than in the alternate future.
It was a reassurance that she wasn't going anywhere, that she accepted him for who he was, and that her love was unwavering.
As Daniel stood there, listening to Cecilia's heartfelt words and feeling the weight of his past burdens begin to lift, he couldn't help but think that he must be in a dream.
Her words had a transformative power as if they had unshackled some of the heavy chains that had bound him for so long.
With her by his side, he felt like he could face anything, and the world seemed a little brighter, a little less daunting.
This wasn't a dream, it was a beautiful reality that he intended to cherish and protect with all his heart.
At this moment, time stood still as both of their gazes were locked to each other. What they held for each other was nothing but true love that was formed within a short span of time.
For Cecilia, she had found her soul mate and for Daniel, he had fulfilled his regret, and now, he felt like all those sufferings weren't all for nothing.
