Juliette Pov
What are you doing?
Let me go!
Who are you?
Emmett!
Mom! Dad!
Jace.... Help me!
Please...
Somebody, please help me...
Zachary Udolf Sullivan.
Why did you save me today?
Zachary get me out of here, please! I can't breathe
I will never trust you. You killed my Emmett. You are a murderer.
Z-Zachary he betrayed me.
I hate you Em- oh sorry Nicholas.
I can't keep this necklace, Zachary. It belongs to your family and I do not belong to your family.
Zachary! You douche!
What? You all knew about Emmett being Nicholas from the beginning?
Dad, how could you?
I am stuck in a marriage deal.
Zachary is not the villain. Nicholas is...
Zachary you monkey! I'll kill you.
How do I look?
Loana and Zachary?
Zachary is my husband.
Zachary loves you? Loana Ularu...
But Zachary she started it all...
He doesn't believe me.
Oh my god! I am going to die today...
Vito? Nicholas?
Save me...
Please...
Zachary?
I think I'm in love with him.
But he doesn't love me.
Dad let's get back home.
Kiara! I can't forget him.
I am sorry Kiara. I've caused you a lot of pain. I'll try to move on.
Z-Zachary?
You left me.
I have fallen for you.
I am here to take you back whether you like it or not.
Juliette...
Everything replayed in my mind. From the day I met him to the very present moment everything replayed in my mind. I felt my body heating up as I felt his wet lips on mine. Placing my hand on his chest, I knew I have two options and it was I could stop him and push him away else I could let him do whatever he wants.
But that's not correct.
He should know what I felt for him.
Sure, he told me that he doesn't care what I feel for him but still he should know.
But then, I need to know about him and Loana.
Am I the person who came in the middle of their relationship?
I felt him touch the side of my face as he got on top of me properly and moved his lips softly. I stayed still.
Not because I didn't want to kiss him but my body wasn't listening to me. I felt his finger on the side of my neck as he kissed me passionately. Slowly and steadily.
His lips molding against mine as he fastens his pace and soon enough my body arched up to his touch as I felt the shiver and tingles running all over my body. No wonder, my face heat up and I could literally feel the blood rush to my cheeks. Mustering up courage, I let myself to be kissed by the man whom I loved and slowly I tried to follow him. I opened my mouth for a bit but then he left me.
As I looked into his eyes, he looked into mine as if he was trying to search for something. His eyes roamed over my face and then end on my swollen lips as I opened my mouth to exhale and inhale. His breath fanned on my face and soon enough I felt his cold finger on my eyebrow, as he trailed his finger on the scar that I had got because of a guy who accidentally threw his baseball bat in my direction.
"Juliette," he whispered. My name rolling out from his tongue made me want him more. I was hot to my core and damn the man didn't have any idea how I felt.
"What about Loana?" I heard myself.
"What?" he asked with furrowed eyebrows but then I realised what I just did.
Damn!
"Miss Ularu?" he questioned as he lifted his body up and sat next to mine on the bed looking down at me with a confused state.
Should I ask him?
Well, the words have already left my mouth.
"Yes, Loana Ularu," I said as I used my elbows to lift myself up and I sat next to him pushing the loose strands of my hair behind my ear.
"What about her?" he asked slowly.
"Aren't you both...um together?" I asked and fidgeted with my fingers.
I waited for him to reply but after two to three seconds when he didn't open his mouth I turned to looked at him to find him already looking at me.
"What?"I asked slowly confused by his state.
"Pardon?" he said and I inhaled deeply before asking once again "Aren't you both toget-"
"Who do you think I am?" he snarled all of a sudden making me gasp. He glared at me and hastily got down of the bed rubbing his face.
"But I..." he turned around swiftly and bent down putting both of his hands on my either side looking straight into my eyes. His action made me bent backward a little but then his behavior confused me even further.
"Why have been so stuck up with her?"
"What is your problem with her?"
"You even fought with her the last time-" I cut him in the middle " I? You are saying that I fought with her? How judgemental of you Zachary! Do you even know what she told me that day? She was the one who provoked me" I argued glaring back at him emphasizing my words letting him know that I was telling the truth.
"And you! You even raised your hand on me that day!" I felt the sides of my eyes stinging as I remembered the day.
"Juliette I-" he withdrew his hands from my side as he took few steps backward.
"Forgive me for that!" he said apologetically as I hugged myself and turned my head to the side.
"But you were so wild. You weren't behaving like a normal person and you were out of control," he said raising his tone and I snapped my head towards him.
"What? ME? Wild?" I questioned pointing a finger towards myself.
"Oh really? what exactly do you know that you think I was the one who behaved wildly?" I sneered and took an intimidating step towards him in anger which caused him to take a step backward.
"Whatever it was but I'm sure that it wasn't that big enough for you to use ur claws at her," he remarked and that hiked my anger even more.
"Oh yes! Of course! I am so stupid!" I laughed hysterically rubbing my forehead.
"Of course you will take her side. You will trust her blindly without even knowing what happened that day," I said and he gasped out air. His mouth forming an 'O' to speak but no words came out.
"What are you saying? Juliette..." he touched my arm and said as calmly as he could.
"Where are you taking all this to?" he asked and I jerked his hands away as I snapped at him.
"You think I am exaggerating all this without any reason? She said you slept with her and you love her!" I pushed on his chest as I felt my eyes getting watery.
"What?" he said almost astonished with what I just blurted out.
"Yes! She said I was in the middle of you two. You love her and she loves you. She even showed me the love bites on her chest which enraged me that day. But still, I expected you to hear me out but what did you do? You raised your hand on me. Before her. You proved her correct and you made a fool of me before everyone," tears spill down my eyes as I covered my face using my palm.
"What?" was all he said.
"What?" I repeated after him and wiped my tears away as I looked back at him.
"I am a fool. I should've known that I was the one wh-" he cut me off in the middle "So, this was the reason why you decided to leave?" he asked and I looked up at him.
"You thought I love her?" he asked once again as I pursed my lips and rubbed my palms on my pants.
"Do you even remember what I told you today in the morning?" he questioned taking a step closer to me.
"I fell for you," he repeated his words and I felt my heart beat fastening.
"I said I fell for you" he repeated once again.
"You!" he snapped all of a sudden pointing his finger towards me which made me yelp in my place in shock.
"If I were to be in love with her then I wouldn't have fallen for you dammit!" he growled and punched his left hand on the wall in anger.
"Zachary!" I leaned forward to take his hand that he punched but he stopped me showing me his hand to stop.
"You let another woman come in between us? You decided to leave just like that! Do you have any idea how I have been after you left?" he complained and his marred with sadness.
"But Zachary I had to leave anyhow because of the dea-"
