Irresistible Love

It was the moment where you would realise that it was it. It was the moment where you would think that your life depends on it and you just have to do anything in your control to reach your goal. My goal, was Juliette. My destination was Juliette. My aim was to get Juliette back even though I knew where she was. I knew I had to do it clearly so that I could end the matter for once and for all and it was what led me to the situation where blood oozed out of my mouth as I huffed in exhaustion and watched a bloodied face of none other than Alex as he struggled to catch his breath after we had a nasty combat of fist fight.

All of a sudden, he laughed. The jackass laughed hysterically and got up holding his chin and wiped the blood out of his mouth.

“You asshole, do you think I am stupid?” he laughed and looked up towards the ceiling.

I got up from the floor and held myself stable as I huffed out blood and looked at him exhausted. The guy was laughing hysterically like a maniac and even though all I wanted was to just pull the gun out from my back and kill him, I couldn’t. I wasn’t supposed to kill him or else he would pull me down to end as well and being aware of that and thinking about Juliette, I restrained myself from doing such actions.

“I knew it! I knew there was something fishy going on and hell I tried to shrug it off,” he spat out blood and had his hands on his hips as he shook his head but then looked back at me.

“I fucking knew that both of you were together and she had not lost her memory,” he said and even though it surprised me, all I did was to stare at him as blank as I could. “Deep down, I knew I was just digging my own grave, but I did it. I did it to get you,” he said with rage filled in his voice and immediately he pulled a revolver out from his behind as he held it towards my direction. His bloodshot eyes looked murderous and his face contoured anger but amidst all that his hands trembled as he held the revolver before me.

“You! You are the root cause of everything! My life is miserable only because of you. I should’ve killed you back then when my sister Gina attempted suicide. It was all your fault.It was bloody all your fault!” he yelled and in a moment he leveled the revolver down, his fingers quaking as he pulled the trigger and shot me on my arm. At first, I didn’t really realise what happened but then as I felt the pain my right hand moved up to hold the wound on my left arm as I held it where it was shot.

A grim expression remained planted on my face and I staggered a few steps back but refused to sow weakness as I thought about it again and again on the plan to give up and just pull my revolver out and shoot him directly on his head.

“Look! What you have made me. You have turned me into a filthy monster. It’s all because of you!” his voice cracked at the end.

“Do you remember Gina?” he asked almost immediately as he looked at me with a dark expression on his face “Of course you do! How could you not know who Gina is oh! my bad! I must say who Gina was!” he said and that made me stand straight as I tried to forget the pain that I was feeling and stood on my ground.

“She- She was my sister. My younger sister and do know what happened to her? She died! Because of you!” pain etched his face as he said her name.

“She loved you. She had never loved anyone in her life and she loved you so much and it is why because of you bastard! She ended her life. What did she get for loving you? Huh?” he yelled pointing the revolver at me “What did she get? Death! You bastard abandoned her when she needed you and you made her feel worthless, finally my sister chose to end her life. Do you fucking know how much my dad and I suffered because of you? We couldn’t get the justice we wanted but I- I promised her that I will find you and make you pay for it and finally its the day!” he laughed as he spoke.

“Look!” I said but he yelled stopping me in the middle “Shut up! Nothing that you will say will make me change my mind.”

“I’m going to kill you today, here and right now!” he looked stubbornly determined but I couldn’t care less what he wanted. The fact was, I was standing quietly hearing and tolering him only because he was the brother of Gina and only for the sake of Juliette.

“Fine! Don’t listen to me. I know you had it tough because of me but the truth is I never abandoned Gina. I had wanted to meet you and sort things out but I could never do that due to certain circumstance,” I said and he narrowed his eyes before shouting “What do you mean?”

“What I mean is... you’ve been mistaken. It was not for me that Gina attempted suicide,” I told him and I watched as his eyes grew wider before he grew even more angrier than he already was.

“You liar! Don’t you fucking dare lie on my fa-”

“Look at this then!” I said as I pulled a paper out from my pocket and forwarded it towards him,” he looked at my hand and then back at me but still not putting the revolver down as in a confused state of mind he came forward and cautiously took the paper out of my hand.

I watched as he unfolded the paper and read it quietly before his eyes grew wider and his hands trembled in shock. I knew that he would definitely had this reaction when he gets to know about Gina. I knew he was never been told about this before and it was why he was so dead set for revenge but then I was also drowning with guilt as I was also somehow responsible for her death. What I did back then was purely stupid.

I remember when I had found about Gina’s medical condition when I was dating her and somehow I had skipped the part of the story from Juliette that Gina was a HIV positive patient. And the actual reason why she had attempted suicide was because of this and not me. I had her autopsy report back then and I was so filled with guilt for not being with her at least as a friend and I had wanted to let this report to her family but I couldn’t as I was immediately taken away from the case and I couldn’t contact them. And not wanting the situation to be known to media and as my name was into it too because I was the last person with Gina, Gale had this situation covered up and it was why her autopsy report was never handed to her family and as I had assumed everyone had blamed me for it.

She wanted Alex to plan an accident and initially they had planned the accident not to be fatal and they would just swap Juliette’s body with a dead person’s body but then it was a real accident and Juliette was thrown off the bridge and as Juliette acted of memory loss, Mrs. Swanson had further planned and made Alex change her identity and take her away. But it all failed when Willi had his eye set up on her and finally found her and not only that but she planned on kidnapping her own daughter again as she had spiked her food with the help of my man who was the guard and later ordered him to kill the my other loyal one.

Stephen mumbled and that made her cry loudly as she looked back at Juliette “Please, I am sorry. I was scared that my truth would be out and it was why I killed that guard of yours. But please trust me, I never wanted to hurt my baby. I was doing that for our family, for us,” she tried to give a reason and all Juliette did was scoff at her “For us? You nearly killed me and even

to move on but life had to go on and it was why after a year of that incident I smiled looking at the our family photo in which all of my family members were only looking at my baby lovingly, who was in Juliette’s arm. We had a daughter and we named her Veronica Sullivan. The experience was so much filled with love, anxiety, anticipation, and care and by the time Juliette gave birth to Veronica, Kiara and Kristian were

stronger and her birth made me the happiest in the world. But somehow my roots to the dark world remained attached and I knew I could never get away from it but instead I made sure not to get myself involved in it anymore.
