Irresistible Love

Zachary Pov

The room was marred with silence as I kept on staring at the light lamp next to the couch having no idea of whatever Juliette was thinking because I was too distracted with the thought of having Juliette judge me like everyone did back then and I was okay with it because I knew it was even too much for her to handle. Everything that ever happened to her was only because of me. I was always the root cause of everything that she had to go through and today I would not blame her. Not even for a single bit because whatever she would say was the right thing. For me, she is always right. She went through that accident that Alex planned because of me, she came back from death and then in order to save me, she put her life in risk playing a second identity before Alex not even knowing that everything she went through was actually planned for me.

I was the person who should have been hurt in place of her, but every time, every single time she would divert all those sufferings and would take it on her head. All this while, she had foolishly protected me thinking I was the one who was protecting her, but in reality, I was nothing in compared to her. I could only protect her with the help of a gun, while she obstructed every emotional pain that was led towards me.

Slowly turning towards her, I was ready to face an upset Juliette but instead I found her already looking my way with a saddened face as her eyes teared up and she looked down as soon as my eyes got in contact with her. I knew, I had made her upset. I should've cleared it from the beginning that I knew Alex and he was after me for his sister and he had pulled Juliette into all this because he wanted me to suffer like he had when his sister died. I was an ominous for Juliette and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't clear that dark part of me.

"Then...you're saying that Alex did all this with me, with us, because of Gina?" Juliette's voice broke down at the end and I kept mum knowing she would understand.

"Then...what else?" she asked which made me look up at her.

"What do you mean?" I questioned not understanding what she meant by what she just asked.

"There is more to than meets the eyes right?," she asked and I nodded clasping my hand together.

"I found out about it when you planned everything out. I had to know who he was because when I was dating Gina, I knew that she had a brother but I had never been able to meet or see his face. I was informed that her brother on the time of her death had wanted to sit a committee against me and reopen her case file which was closed because of Gale's influence, but he lost to Gale and we were never been able to meet because soon I graduated. I had always wanted to clear things out with her family but I was never able to. So, finally I got to meet him and it planned out he was set to destroy me and he wanted to take revenge for his sister and it was why he found a pawn but ended up being used as a pawn in his own game."

"So, who is that person? Have you already found him?" she asked and I nodded to which her eyes grew the size of a saucer.

wanted to see for me. From the time Gina died, everyone actually thought I was to be blamed for it and it was what made me guilty even more than what I was already feeling. Instead of supporting me, Gale tried to curtain and get me off the hooks from Gina's death case, which indirectly meant he believed that Gina committed suicide because of me and I was actually the one to be blamed. Not even my mother or grandfather, gave me the assurance that it wasn't my fault and I kept on drowning into the pit of darkness and grew distant to everyone that were
