Chapter 72

"So , the other confession is ?", I looked in his eyes with curiosity. Thoughts kept traveling around my mind about what the confession would be about. Was he going to complete the sentence I left incomplete? Was it even more intense ? What in the world can an introvert confess, I sighed looking at the moon as he was silent.

"I apologize already Miss Waters ", he sounded strange, the Reynolds I knew would never say those words and to be honest it didn't really suit him too "I-uh , I want to say that ", he stammered again sounding nervous.

"I did something in the past , after knowing it , you may hate me. You should really know what I did to you and your family. "

Okay, he sounded serious. Dead serious. Hate is a huge word, maybe I could just dislike him for a while. A part of me was scared to hear it and the other part just wanted him to say it anyway. I looked at him , straight in his eyes, he didn't look at me back though . "It's okay , just say it ", I placed my palms on the either side of his shoulders comforting him and titled his chin up to face me as his attention was towards the ground.

"James isn't the only culprit Miss Waters . I was involved back then . I was fucking involved with him ", he stood still with a poker face.

It felt like my whole world collapsed that very moment. It felt like everything was a lie , he was a lie. I yanked my hands away from his body that very moment . "The fuck, what ?"

"I hated you , your family too . I wanted revenge , is that too bad ? I trained James to go behind your sister . Getting her falling in love with him was a part of the plan , getting her pregnant was just a consequence"

"You're lying. You're fucking lying. I know that you lack good sense of humor but trust me this is no joke. ", I took a step backward and tried making up my mind.

With every backward step of mine , he'd take a step forward. "You need to listen to me, I did tell him to make out with your sister and I also tried to set him up with you so that the girls of the Water's family would know , would know how it feels. ", he paused as a tear rolled through my eyes, I gasped when he tried to wipe it away.

I didn't utter a word , he talked while I just listened silently . "That night at Pallapora town when I saw you making out with him , something just didn't feel right. The next day , I called him in my cabin and warned him to abort our plan that very moment. I just wanted your father to learn through her daughters."

"Well then , you should know that we don't stay with our father and we're not even acquainted with him . Maybe your plan was a huge foul just like you. ", I wiped away the tears which took birth in my eyes , which blurred my vision.

"Look , I am sorry "

"Don't be , why didn't you let him rape me. The next time I encounter him , I'll go and say fuck me all by myself. I'll complete your filthy plan , I will make sure I do. Thank you Mr Reynolds."

"I can explain Miss Waters "

"Just tell me one thing , was everything planned ? Even the kidnapping ?"

"No , for fuck's sake . When I told him to stop, I meant it but then you found out another story . Rest all is history , trust me "

"Trust you ? You shouldn't even use that word at first place , well, fuck you ", I punched him in his chest when he attempted to get closer.

"You have all the right to stay angry on me . I won't object to that . I never meant you harm Miss Waters , I was just hurt and wanted revenge very badly . I am bad but not very bad. I'll tell you why , only when you're sane though. Please , talk to me . Let it out , please"

I didn't react to his words and turned around letting him face my back. I could feel him tracing me , I totally ignored it. I tried running , I couldn't . My legs shivered and so did my faith in him. I loved this man so much , so much that I was even ready to give away my life for him. I halted for a while , rested my knees on the ground and wept .

I wailed looking at the sky, how could I be this stupid to love an emotionless man .

If only he was an illusion !
