Fuck !
I didn't thought this question will rise this early. What shall I tell her now ?
Shall I tell her the truth or just lie ?
I don't think lying to her would get me any closer to her.
Someday she is going to find the truth and if I lied to her now, she won't even want to see my face for lying to her.
I guess I should tell the truth, but how shall I start ?
" Angel ?
Say something ! "
Jenifer said when I didn't replied to her question.
And I know how to start !
" Angle ?
Why do you call me that ? "
" Because you ARE my angel ! "
Jenifer said.
" Yes, but why ?
Why do you think I am an angel for you ?
I might be the devil and you are mistaking me for an angel ! "
I said.
" No, that's not possible !
I know you aren't the devil !
You can't be ! "
Jenifer said firmly.
" And how do you know that ? "
I asked.
" Because, you've saved me so many times.
I always feel safe and comfortable when you are near me ! "
Jenifer said with a smile.
" May be I have some evil intesions for you and to get close to you I did all that ! "
I said.
" One can fake anything in this world but can't fake their aura !
One can't fake the way they make someone feel when they are close to us, Cedric ! "
Jenifer said.
" Um, about that, don't call me Cedric.
Everyone thinks I am Petric. "
I said.
" But I can't call you by his name ! "
Jenifer said.
" Ok then, call me simply Rick. "
I said.
" I can do that. "
Jenifer replied.
" Great !
And now coming back to your explanation.
Though, I can't fake that but, you can be an exception for my good behaviour !
What if I am an angel to you and devil for the rest ? "
I asked.
" No, you can't !
You are an angel ! "
Jenifer said firmly.
" Ok, but angels too can be bad, right ? "
I said.
" Some say that but, I feel angles don't do bad things !
They do the right thing !
But a thing right for some can be wrong for some !
And from that basis, we can't call them devil. They only do the things which are right. "
Jenifer said.
" That confident about me, huh ?
Good, but I guess you will want to disagree with your statement, if you come to know a few things about me ! "
I said.
" No, I can never disagree with that statement ! Like never. "
Jenifer said confidently.
" Are you sure ?
Because, you just said what is right for some can definitely be wrong for some, right ? "
I said.
" What do you want to confess ?
Don't create the suspense.
Just tell me, what's wrong ? "
Jenifer said getting eager.
Time to face the volcanic eruption !
I don't know how she's going to react and take it. But one thing I am definitely sure, I can't lie to her now and live life in the fear of anyone else telling her the truth; and by anyone else I mean Robert !
" Um...
I... I don't know how to tell you all this.
Listen, can you promise me to listen everything I've got to tell you ? "
I asked.
" Rick, you are getting me nervous as hell.
Don't drag it, please.
Just come to the point and say what you have in your mind ! "
Jenifer said getting nervous and eager to know what I have to confess to her.
" Promise me... "
I said.
" I am not gonna promise anything I have no idea about ! "
Jenifer said firmly.
" Fair enough !
So here it goes.
You asked me about Petric, huh ?
I...
I killed him ! "
I said.
" You what ?
Are you...
Did you really...
Oh my god !
Are you serious ? "
Jenifer was so shocked.
" I don't think it is something I would joke about.
I am dead serious. "
I said seriously.
" I...
I don't know what to say !
Why ?
Just why did you ? "
Jenifer asked.
" Well, it have more than one reason. "
I said.
" Tell me all ! "
Jenifer said.
" Not now.
I don't want you to be in shock for out of the world things.
So the basic reason is, he hurted me when we were barely teenagers.
He beat me and threw in the forest to die and ran away !
He returned home and told everyone, I ran away because I was jealous of him and wanted a different life !
My family didn't even tried to find me after that. "
I said without any emotion. I have got used to it now.
" Oh my god !
I didn't know that.
Well, I actually didn't know he had a bro... "
Jenifer was saying something, but she was wrong about it and I have to tell her the truth !
" You did ! "
I said.
" What ?
No, I didn't. "
Jenifer said.
" You might have forgotten, but you know me from our childhood !
You used to come with your father at my place and help him in the work.
We actually never talked, but we used to share smiles only because my Dad never allowed me to talk to you ! "
I told her the truth.
" I...
I have no idea what are you talking about, Rick ! "
Jenifer said.
" You won't, because you were too young and we never met in person ! "
I said.
" Yeah, but I am talking about your Dad part.
And I used to come here with my mother and not father, he didn't do any work in his entire life !
So, I don't remember anything like what you are saying ! "
Jenifer said.
" You have a lot of things to know, yet.
First thing first.
The second reason I killed him is, he was torching you from your wedding day itself !
When you came to meet me and told me about your wedding, I just lost all my hopes !
You know, when you said you loved me and would've married me if, I were a human, I was about to come out, meet you and ask to marry me; but you said you were marrying to Petric and were happy to marry him !
So, I decided not to spoil your happiness.
I knew he was an asshole, but you said he loves you and I thought, maybe he is changed !
But I still had my doubts, so I continued my visit to check up on you.
And I realised, my fear was right !
I knew he was a gay, but I thought maybe he wasn't sure about his sexuality and after meeting you, he realised he was straight.
But he had different plans !
I waited for few months, in the hope that he might change his mind of hurting you, but he disappointed me !
I couldn't see you in pain.
I couldn't let him hurt you.
Then I decided to take revenge on him for two reasons.
To take my family away and hurt the love of my life ! "
I said looking into her eyes.
" What ?
What did you said ? "
Jenifer said surprised at my words.
" The love of my life !
Yes Jenifer, I am in love with you since forever !
I just didn't got the chance to confess it.
Firstly because, of my father and then, because of my brother.
But, now I am confessing that...
I am badly and madly in love with you ! "
I confessed my love for her with a wildly beating heart.
" I...
I don't know what...
Are you...
You just told me that you killed my...
How am I...
I mean, what should I do ? "
Jenifer was engulfed in a lot of emotions at the same time and didn't know what to do.
" Take your time.
I am not going to rush you into anything nor am I gonna hurt you, if you reject me ! "
I said the last words unwillingly.
" Um...
I don't know what to do or say.
Can I...
Can I get some lone time ?
I want to meet my family.
Petric didn't allowed me to meet them since the marriage !
I'll meet them and I can get my mind clear about a few things.
I am like stuck here forever !
Will you let me meet them, please ? "
Jenifer said pleading.
Uh-oh !
I'll have to tell about that as well.
I had planned on telling her, but not everything and absolutely not on my first day here !
But, I guess I have no choice.
" Um, about that...
You need to know something. "
I said.
" Now what ? "
Jenifer asked getting nervous.
" Your family is dead ! "
I said without wasting any time.
" What ?
Are you out of your mind ?
How could they ?
What happened ?
Oh my god, did you killed them as well ? "
Jenifer said getting to her conclusion.
' Blame it on me, Alpha ! '
Out of nowhere Dani talked.
I didn't disconnected our link for if I needed his help and he must be waiting close by and heard us talking !
' I can't Dani !
I killed them not you.
She needs to know the truth. '
I said.
' She'll hate you forever, Rick ! '
Dani warned me.
' I don't care.
I won't keep her in the dark, she needs to know everything from ME.
I don't want Robert to spoil everything between us by telling her something she didn't knew I have done ! '
I said.
' But, Alpha... '
Dani tried to stop me.
' I am going to tell... '
" Are you going say something ?
Don't just stare at me like this, say something ! "
Jenifer said breaking Dani and my conversation.
" First you need to know something which you've forgotten about ! "
I said.
" What ? "
Jenifer asked irritated.
" They were not your real parents ! "
I told her.
" I know !
He was step father and... "
Jenifer was telling what was told to her, but she is wrong !
" He wasn't !
It was your father's friend's family you were living with. "
I said.
" No, that's not true ! "
Jenifer said not believing me.
" Yes it is !
You said you don't remember anything about my father and me, so you have no idea what happened ! "
I said guessing.
" What are you talking about ? "
Jenifer asked confused.
" Let me tell you from the beginning !
Petric was my identical twin.
My family loved me more than him and he started hating me because of that.
I was superior to him in everything and my father praised me and not him.
He always tried to hurt me somehow.
Before I could start hating him, you came to my home with your father and I immediately fell for you and forgot about his rage.
I tried to talk to you so many times but my father didn't allowed me to, because you were his servant's daughter.
We never actually talked, but we used to say hello and bye everyday.
Petric found happiness in hurting me.
When he couldn't hurt me directly, he started hurting the one's I love; so seeing them hurt would hurt me !
Out of this feeling, he did something horrible.
He knew I like you and so he decided to hurt you. But my father didn't let him talk to you either.
So he decided to do something.
He asked his goon friend to get you caught in an accident.
One day you were going back home with your father after finishing the work at my house.
A car came fast towards you.
Your father pushed you out of it's way and the car hit your father ! "
I told her the truth and her expressions become surprised and horrified.
" You were so shocked to see him bleed bad, you couldn't speak anything !
His friend was returning home and saw him bleeding on the road.
He tried to get him to the hospital, but your father knew he won't make it upto the hospital.
So he asked his friend to take you home and make you his daughter.
That's the friend, you think is your Dad !
He's not your father, he is your father's friend ! "
I said.
" You are talking rubbish !
And how do you know this with this much details ? "
Jenifer was struggling whether to believe me or not.
" I used to follow you everyday just to see you some more time and hoping if by chance your father is not with you, I could speak to you someday.
I saw that happening infront of eyes !
I was so young, I couldn't do anything to save him back then ! "
I said apologetically.
" And...
How do you know...
That car was sent by Petric ? "
Jenifer asked.
" I recognised the driver !
He was Petric's friend and so, I know. "
I said.
" But...
How could I trust you ?
I've been with them like forever !
How can I believe that they aren't my family ? "
Jenifer said doubtfully.
" Did they ever treated you as their own daughter ? "
I asked her.
" They did loved me... "
Jenifer was in denial.
" Oh, did they ?
Let me ask you few questions.
Didn't they treated you and your brother differently ?
Did your mother ever helped you in the house work, like ever ?
Did your father did anything to earn ?
Did your brother did anything to help you ?
Weren't you the one earning for the entire family ?
Weren't you the one doing all the work, whether the house work or anything out of the house ?
When you had a not so old father, why did you had to work ?
When you had a young and healthy as horse brother, why did you had to go the forest to collect the wood ?
When your mother knew what and how much work you already have to deal with, why didn't she ever helped you in the house work ?
I know she wasn't sick or so old that, she couldn't do anything.
This is not the way anyone treats their own child, now is it ? "
I asked.
She didn't replied so, I continued.
" You were always a servant to them.
The free one !
They didn't had to pay you and you did everything they needed and much more.
If he was your step father, your mother could have loved you, if not him !
But she didn't, did she ? "
I asked.
She is looking lost, like thinking about what I said and realising that I am right.
After thinking for a while, she asked me,
" But why are they dead ?
What happened ?
You didn't told me that ! "
Jenifer asked.
" When Petric found that you are alive, he found a way to get to you and hurt you.
The day he came to your house and asked your Dad to let him marry you, your Dad knew he doesn't loves you.
He had paid your Dad to let him have you... "
I was telling her the truth but she wasn't ready to listen to me.
" Shut up !
Don't you dare say such rubbish.
He can't do that !
He didn't knew about Petric's intesions ! "
Jenifer said firmly and getting mad at me.
" Oh, didn't he ?
Wasn't your family missing a day before your wedding ?
Didn't Petric sent his men to get them ?
Weren't they wearing expensive cloths and jewelry ?
Were they paying any attention to you ?
And did you saw them sad when you were leaving with Petric or were they just eager to see you go ?
And how many times have you met your family after your wedding ? "
I asked her.
" Um...
I...
They were...
Petric didn't...
Allowed me to meet them... "
Jenifer stumbled on her words when she realized I was right.
" How could he have let you meet them ?
Your family left the moment you got in the car !
They left the hut with the money and jewelry Petric gave them in exchange for you...
Ugh ! "
God !
Did she just...
She just slapped me !
And my instincts of being an animal and more over being an Alpha acted and I growled high in anger.
But I calmed myself down.
I can't scare her like this when she doesn't know what I am !
" Did you just said that my father sold me to Petric knowingly ?
How could you ? "
Jenifer said fuming.
" Because that's the truth ! "
I said clenching my teeth in anger.
" And why would I believe you ? "
Jenifer asked disgusted at my words.
" Because I was there !
I saw it with my eyes.
They sold you and left the town !
When I saw Petric hurting you at night, I hunted down and killed them.
Because of them he got you and hurted you !
And I can't take anyone hurting you ! "
I said raising my voice.
" So, you'll go kill everyone who'll hurt me ?
Are you some sick idiot ? "
Jenifer said disgusted.
" No, I am your lover and I can't see you in pain, that's it ! "
I said calmly.
" You are unbelievable !
I just...
I just can't believe you killed my family and your brother !
How could you... "
Jenifer was getting more and more angry and disgusted with me.
" They weren't your family and my brother have destroyed my life to an extent you can't even imagine !
And whatever I did, I did for my love !
And I don't feel there's anything wrong to do anything to protect your loved ones ! "
I said getting mad and raising my voice as my Alpha instinct got better of me as she was challenging me by yelling at me and slapping me !
" I...
I can't breathe.
I need to get out of here.
I am going to my parent's... "
Jenifer said chocking at her words.
" No one is there !
What will you do there ? "
I asked her.
" Anything I wish, but I can't stay here for now !
It's suffocating here.
And I know you follow me everywhere, but don't come behind me now !
Let me be alone for sometime, please I beg you ! "
Jenifer said pleading me.
" I swear I won't follow you. "
I promised her.
And she left.
' Daniel, you know what to do. '
I said.
' Yes, I do Alpha. '
Dani replied.
