My eyes stung as the tears threatened to stream down but I refused to let it flow. I took in deep breaths and closed my eyes telling my mind that it wasn't true. The woman before me was just lying on my face and it was only because of the fact that I liked Zachary, her words were getting to me. Even if her words like a slap to the feelings that I felt for Zachary, I managed to control my emotions and opened my eyes glaring at her.

　　"Your wish!" I said and crossed my arms over my chest.


　　"It's not my wish darling it's his wish," she smirked at me. The patience in me was reaching its limit and I knew I would not let her go that easily with this.

　　"Control your filthy mouth and leave me and my husband alone!" I said as politely as I could.

　　"Oh so desperate you are! You are the only one who calls him that else let me clarify this to you! You mean nothing to him. I am the only one who he truly loves ad likes and I felt it when we slept the night," she smirked and closed her eyes as if she was reminiscing the experience "naked, wrapped up in each other's arms and every time he made love to me-" she couldn't even finish because I lunged at her and slapped her hard on her face.


　　"You bitch!" her face contoured anger and she raised her manicured nail trying to scratch my face, but I held it and slapped once again on her face and this time it was, even more, louder and harder. The skinny model didn't even have the power and strength to fight me but she managed to grip my braid and she pulled it painfully. I grab her hair and pulled her and using my filed nails I scratch her arms and face.

　　"Oh my goodness! Juliette!" I heard Zachary's mother but I didn't stop because she didn't let me go and neither did I let her go as we continued swearing and cursing at each other pulling hair and scratching each other.


　　How dare she, lying on my face?

　　She raised her hand to punch me but I got hold of it and turned it in the opposite direction painfully and a cry left her mouth when I did that.

　　"What's going on?′ I heard Gale and pretty soon my whole family surrounded us as they circled us and I felt arms encircling my waist as I was roughly pulled backward. I grip around Loana's hair loosened and she made an attempt to punch me but like me, she was also pulled back by none other but Kristian.

　　"Stop it!" Zachary snapped at me when I struggled against his hold wanting to kill Loana. My hands and legs wagged in the air when Zachary picked me up from my back but then I was again placed down when I didn't stop struggling against it.

　　"I said stop it!" he snapped and that made me instantly stop. I looked at him with wide eyes and exhaled and inhaled breath through my mouth. Anger was still building up from inside me. Loana's words kept rotating around my head and that made me even more anger.

　　"No! Let me go!" I argued.

　　"Look, Zachary, what she did to me," we looked back at Loana who sobbed pointing towards the scratches on her arms and face.

　　"Oh, you will get even more of those, you bitc-" Zachary cut me off as he turned me around to face him. His eyes filled up with anger, as he looked into my eyes.

　　"Enough!" he snapped at me.

　　"But Zachary she starte-" he didn't even let me finish as he yelled on my face, "I said enough!" which made me instantly close my mouth.

　　"I have just enough of your drama. You will not speak a word now, do you hear me?" he said pointing his finger at me.

　　"Drama?" I asked inhaling air.

　　"Yes, drama! I let every stupid action of you insulting me thinking it as your innocence and naivety but now it's just too much for even me to handle. I can't believe this!" he said and looked at Loana who kept her head on kristian's shoulder and wept dramatically.

　　"Whatever it is, say sorry to Ms. Ularu right now!" he said and my eyes widened hearing his words.

　　"No! Why should-"

　　"Juliette!" he raised his hand in the air as if he was going to slap me. His words didn't hurt as his action did. He blamed me and he raised his hand on me. Gasps were heard when he rasied his hands.

　　"Zachary!" I heard Julia.

　　"Udolf!" even grandfather snapped at him for his action. But the damage was done. His lack of support, faith on me made me believe that he had not even an inch of respect and likeness for me. Why blame the other for your miserable fate? He didn't even hear me, he didn't even let me explain the side of my story, he had no faith on me, and he everything I did was like a drama to him. Not a single ounce of likeness for me but everything for Loana. Does this mean he loved Loana? Was Loana speaking the truth? Then it's totally my mistake in here. I am the one who came in between them. i kept on thinking that Loana was trying to create misunderstanding in between us but I was totally wrong. In fact, I was the one who was playing the gooseberry in between them.

　　Guilt washed up his feature as he lowered his hand and before he could speak I turned towards Laona and pursed my lips.

　　"I am sorry. Please forgive me!" I said and Kiara interrupted "But Juliett-" I stopped her by showing my hand in the sir asking her to stop. Thankfully she got the point and closed her mouth else, she would have made the situation even more thick if she opened her mouth. I would have felt even more guilty then I was already feeling.

　　Of course! I should remember that why I was with Zachary. It wasn't a normal and love relation but a marriage deal where he was bound to save me in order to get the peron in his grasp who killed and destroyed his family member.

　　"Zachary are you kidding me? You are taking this woman's side over your wife?" Julia asked his son and before he could answer I wallked towards Kiara and held her hand and pulled her with me towards the lake.

　　"Juliette come back here!" came bellowed voice of Zachary but I ignored him as I walked towards the dock holding Kiara's hand.

　　As we were near, I left her hand and walked towards the end of the dock. All the while, tears streaming down my face.

　　"Juliette," Kiara called me from behind softly but I didn't even turn to look at her.

　　"Juliette!" she made me turn to face her and when she witnessed my tears she gasped and I saw the sympathy in her eyes but then she pulled me into a hug.

　　"Oh, Juliette! Please don't cry!" she patted my back and I wrapped my hands and sobbed on her shoulders.

　　"That slut! Wait for me! I will just go and tell Zachary everything that she tol-" I cut her off "No! You won't!" I said with a determined look holding her arms.

　　"What but why?" she asked in confusion.

　　"Because," I put my forehead on her shoulder "They are in love," I cried feeling my heart hurt thinking about it.

　　"Nonsense! She was lyi-"

　　"They are in love Kiara. Everything she said was true. Don't you get it?" I pulled back and looked at her "He was forced to be with him. It wasn't his choice to marry but it was a deal. It all makes sense!" I said and put the knuckle in my mouth.

　　"It all makes sense!" I sobbed and Kiara pulled me into a hug.

　　"I am so sorry Juliette. It all happened because of me, I shouldn't have charged her," she said sympathetically apologizing for a mistake which wasn't even hers.

　　"Not your fault!" I said in a low tone and repeated it multiple times until my words turned into sobs as I cried being despair.

　　Several days past by to that incident and it was certainly not the memorable day of my life. Zachary hardly came back home in the night. I even changed my room and slept with Kiara. Julia apologized to me multiple times on the behalf of her son but that made it even worse because every time she apologized I felt the guilt rising up. Because it was my fault after all. I should be the one who should apologize because I was acting like a fool behaving and acting like a stubborn teenager.

　　Zachary didn't talk to me nor did I make any attempts to talk to him. In all this, my father was happy. He was very happy because he told me that he was getting hints of me liking Zachary but thankfully the incident back then proved him that he was wrong, and there is nothing in between me and Zachary except hatred.

　　But I don't hate Zachary. Still, after all this, I didn't hate him. I just couldn't hate him because I knew he was just pulled into my life. It's not his fault and that is why I don't hate him.
