Maximus still remembered the reason why Rania stopped poisoning him. There were a few bottles that she had, but all of them were still full.

That was the only proof that could support Rania’s claim, and Maximus believed that.

Now everything had passed, and he remembered what he said in the throne room, he wanted to be sure of that.

“Is that true?” Maximus asked again, he gently caressed her cheek. “I know you can’t accept me yet, but I am willing to dedicate my whole life to get your trust back.”

Maximus said that solemnly, it sounded like an oath. After all, they were going to spend the rest of their lives together, and he would make sure of that.

“I will trust you, even if you have a knife on my throat.”

The frown on Rania’s brows deepened. Who would make such a promise? He is crazy, but craziness would sound like a compliment for him.

“Can you believe me in this? I will not ask you to trust me right away, but give me a second chance to prove it to you and I will give the rest of my life not to disappoint you. Can you give me that?”

Rania didn’t know how to respond to that. She lowered her head, and stared at her fingers.

“I did hurt you so much, didn’t I?” Maximus kissed her forehead. “I am sorry.”

Rania bit her lip, she nodded very slightly, until you couldn’t see that, but she told him that he indeed had hurt her so bad.

“I am really sorry.”

Maximus pulled her closer and then hugged her a little bit tighter, so she would know how much she meant for him.

“I am sorry.”

Rania cried silently, her whole body was trembling. She had been holding back this emotion for so long, she

didn’t even realize it.

And now, all of her pain came flooding out of her system, but not like before, she felt safe to let them out, to feel them, and cleansed herself from them.

These feelings were like poison in her body, and Rania kept drinking on it over and over again every time she suppressed herself.

“It’s okay, cry.”

There was time in the past when he wondered on how to treat someone gently, because such delicate word

Yes, Ella must be the only one, who showed him such gentleness, but it had been so long ago, and every time Maximus remembered about her, it would follow with a great regret.

His memories with her were fuzzy, as it overlapped with the images of her death, but he remembered her smile. She was like a mother for him.
