The Barter Novel Sierra and Xavier

---- Alex's eyes didnt once leave his face as she took in every inch of his features and whispered Pressing her knees to her chest, she balanced her chin on her knee and looked at him dreamily Love is not about taking.

Its about giving.

It's a feeling where you cant let go just because the other person doesnt return your feelings.

It's a hope.

A desire that if you continue to love them...

maybe one day, they will love you back.

It's stupid...

dreamy even.

L know.

But thats what I have understood about love.

Damien shook his head No.

Your definition of love is flawed, Alex.

Her heart thudded.

She wanted to know what he thought about it.

She leaned closer to listen to him as he spoke.

---- Chapter 467 What you described is one-sided love, and it always ends in tragedy.

Her heart cracked.

You spend all your life waiting for them to reciprocate.

You give a hundred percent, and you are satisfied with their one percent.

You give your everything but settle for their scrap, for crumbs.

But that person is not who you deserve.

Love is balance.

Love is getting back without even asking for it.

Love is not when you beg for it.noveldrama

Love is what you are gifted without asking.

But to be honest, I am the worst person to give you love advice.

How can T ask you to move on from a person when even I haven't moved on? A hundred thoughts swirled in Alex's mind Why was he saying it like that? Like Princess Zariyan never loved him back? What was their relationship like? From the news she had followed, Zariyan refused him one night before the marriage.

---- Was his love for her one-sided? Did she never love him back? Alex scoffed You are funny, you know.

Which woman wouldn't Jove you? I am sure Princess Zariyan loved you Yes.

She may have loved me.

But she also loved her freedom.

Her independence more than me.

She wasn tan easy nut to crack.

She didnt want to be bound in the shackles of marriage.

She was different.

Strong, independent, stubborn.

Her ideologies even frayed my brain cells sometimes.

She wanted to live her life on her own terms.

And according to her, I was an obstacle to it.

Alex couldn't understand.

Confusion etched her features.

She never thought that way...

she didnt have to.
