Unbelievable – EMF
It didn't feel the way Axel had pictured it would. He expected it to be difficult. He had thought leaving Larxene would tear him apart, but, in fact, he felt fine. Maybe it was because he had no heart, or maybe it was just because she had stolen the last bit of his patience.
From the very beginning, he knew they weren't together because they loved each other. It just wasn't possible. But for some reason, he just hadn't expected her to be so flagrantly callous. She could have at least pretended to care about him, but instead, she had taken every opportunity to vex him, humiliate him. No sensitive subject was spared from her sharp tongue. And then she laughed. She took pleasure in his pain.
He supposed it was his fault for expecting anything different from her. Thinking about it, he felt stupid, especially considering how long he had put up with her abuse. But it was all over now; he had righted his mistake. He had taken no prisoners, told her everything on his mind with no sugar-coating, and left, not stopping to look back. He doubted she would care too much. Sure, she'd probably be angry as hell. He had injured her pride, after all. But it wasn't like she actually cared for him. She could easily find another toy.
