Now, I don't even care but I want her to remember this when she wakes tomorrow morning. I want to let her know that after today tomorrow will not remain the same. The desire that I saw in her eyes made it clear that she wants me like I want her but I won't proceed until she tells it on my face that like me she has also fallen for me. I want her to know that from today onwards she belongs to me and I would no longer tolerate if she takes the name of her ex in front of me. From today onwards I will not stop myself from confronting her or the man who even tries to get closer to her.

　　From today onwards she is mine. Rightfully mine. She will be my everything until I breath and I will do anything for her before she would even ask me about it.


　　"You are my family now" I smiled as I caressed her cheeks and watched as she breathed softly sleeping silently next to me in my arms.

　　"Because I have fallen for you. Hard!" I whispered into her ear and she snuggled up close to me as I wrapped my arms around her body and held her tight before falling to sleep right next to her.

　　"Deeply and madly" I smiled into sleep.


　　The next day, as I worked in my study room I heard the door knobs turning before I heard footsteps. I smiled inwardly but didn't let it reflect on my face. I knew it was Juliette but I didn't even look up.

　　"Zachary," she said and I acted as if I didn't know why she was here. I looked up at her through my reading glasses and showed her the seat before me to take a sit.


　　She had her hair into a side braid and she was wearing a black top and jeans with a gray colored cardigan over her top. I marked the hickeys on her chest and neck and as soon as she saw my eyes on the hickeys she pulled her cardigan hiding it away from me and cleared her throat wanting to gain my attention.

　　She had no idea that she already has my every attention.

　　"My head hurts!" she said as she held her head and leaned on my table.

　　"I'm not a doctor. Ask Martha to provide you meds" I said and looked down and acted as if I was focusing on my work more than her.

　　"Always a jerk!" I heard her mutter which brought a smile to my face.

　　"Umm I am here to ask you something else!" she said and I looked up at her. As if she felt my eyes penetrating her soul she looked the other way avoiding eye contact.

　　"And what is that?" I asked as I leaned against my chair and crossed my arms across my chest.

　　"Umm. Wha- What-t" she stammered to which I raised one eyebrow and nodded urging her to complete what she started.

　　"What happened y-yesterday?" she asked stuttering in the middle and looked at me.

　　I narrowed my eyes at her and pulled the glass off my eyes.

　　"You don't remember?" I challenged her with my gaze.

　　She shifted on her seat and scratched her forehead and pursed her lips. She looked nervous and the nervousness proved that she remembered some parts of it at least why she got all those marks on her body.

　　"No, I don't!" she said and I nodded but smirked at her but then turned my face into a neutral one when she looked at me.

　　"Liar!" I thought.

　　"Well, then how will I know what happened with you? The only parts I know is that you drinking in that mini bar to the point where you couldn't even stand before you could make a fool out of yourself I saved you by bringing you home and then you slept tired by your actions" I said and acted as calm and cool I could. I skipped some parts because I knew she remembers them. Though not everything guessing from her actions I hoped she remembered some parts of it.

　　"Th-Tha's it?" she asked and narrowed her eyes challenging me to tell the whole thing.

　　As if?

　　"Yeah! That's it!" I gave her a nod and smiled.

　　"Oh! Fine!" she was now glaring at me and I had to pinch my thigh from stopping myself from laughing.

　　She stood up and smiled sarcastically at me to which I returned with a genuine one of mine. As she walked towards the door I checked her swaying ass and bit down on my knuckles.

　　I have decided that until she comes forward and tells me how she feels about me I won't show her any affection from my side, Just because I have fallen for her it doesn't mean that I will kneel down before her. For me, a relationship is about equality. She must love me as much as I do and I will make sure that she understand that. Until she tells me what I am to her, she will keep on witnessing the ruthless and jerk of a Zachary. Once, she tells me how she feels I promise to myself she will even forget how she ever felt in love with that rat of a Nicholas. She will see the hidden side of me, which will only love and cherish her until death.

　　I smiled to myself when stopped right before the door and looked back at me muttering something under breath. She looked clearly pissed.
