Selene
"You are asking about what I'm doing here, Hun?" I asked angrily while staring at him. The pain I was feeling in my heart vanished immediately. I couldn't believe that he would say something like this. He isn't the same person I know; if it were the same person I know, then he wouldn't be saying this.
"Are you the one who wrote those letters to me?" I asked while staring at him curiously. I knew it was dumb of me to ask such a question, but I want to confirm it even after knowing that I will be hurt more if I hear him say that.
"Selene, you shouldn't be here," Lucius replied while staring at me calmly. I felt my anger rise to my perk, and I felt my heart break into pieces like it was pierced by a sharp edge of a sword.
I knew what he was trying to do. He was trying to find ways to lure me away from asking my question. He didn't want to reply to me, and I knew with no doubt that he was the one who wrote it; he was trying to find ways to avoid the question. I knew that he does this whenever he is hiding something from me. I felt hurt to know this; it wasn't what I wanted, but there was nothing I could do about it.
"Don't you dare try to avoid my question; are you the one who replied to all those letters?" I asked with a raised voice. I stared at him angrily while expecting an answer from him. My eyes were filled with unshed tears as I stared at him. My heart was in a lot of pain, but I tried hard to hide it.
"Yes, I was the one who has been replying to all your letters," he said while staring at me with a sad look on his face, and I chuckled.
"It hurt more to hear this from you. I should have believed Sandra right from the onset; she warned me, but I didn't listen," I said, and alone tears escaped out of my eyes as I stared at him with hurt visibly written in my eyes.
"It's more to hear you say this. I have always believed that you can't do something like this, but I'm totally wrong; all that was a plot from you," I said, and I let all the tears I have been holding fall freely.
"I'm sorry, but I don't mean to hurt you. It wasn't my intention, but the truth will always remain the same. I can't keep on misleading you, nor do I want to lie to you about all this, but everything in the letter was written by me," he said plainly while staring at me.
He doesn't look like someone who is remorseful at all. He seems to be okay with the situation. I felt more hurt to know this; my heart raced, and it kept thumping against my chest. I felt my throat go dry. I could feel my eyes getting more moisty.
I felt angry all of a sudden. I felt angry that he would do such a thing. I trusted him so much, and even though I was aware of all this, it hurt more when I could see the truth, but I didn't accept it only to be told by him. I felt the feeling of hatred consume me, but I tried hard to control myself. I won't want to fight him because of Freya, but I will do everything in my power to get back at him. He would pay for toying with my feelings.
"You should get over me," he said, turning to leave, but I stopped him. I knew that if I was to get rid of the feelings I have for him, then I would have him say all that he wrote in the letter.
"You think it's going to be easy, Hun? You don't care about anything other than yourself; you should know it won't be easy to get rid of the feelings I have for you," I said, and he stopped on his track before turning to look at me with a confused look on his face.
"You should get rid of it before it consumes you, and you will become obsessed, which I don't want. I still take you as a friend, and I also want you to do the same," he said, and I sighed heavily while trying to keep my calm.
"Can you say all that you wrote in the letter?" I said while staring at him pleadingly. I knew that it would help me get over him, but it would hurt me more.
"What do you mean? I won't want to make you feel more hurt by saying that; it would be cruel of me to say so," he replied while staring at me with a concerned look in his eyes. One would think that all that he is doing is genuine if the person doesn't know him.
"If you really want me to get over you, then you will do that," I replied with a determined look on my face. I was ready to do everything in my power to get over him as quickly as I could. I knew that if I was to get back at him, then I would have to get rid of all my feelings.
"Fine then, remember you asked for this?" he replied with a stern look on his face, and I felt bad about all this.
Deep down, I don't want to get over him, but there is nothing I can do other than get over him. I have been advised by Sandra to tell her over him, and him saying this also made me want to get over him. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but there was nothing I could do about it. If I really want my revenge, then I will have to get over him to be able to do so.
If I still have feelings for him, it won't be easy for me to extract my revenge on him because it will be hard since I will be wallowing in tears and will be heartbroken.
"Selene, I know this might hurt you, but all that I have had for you in the past was nothing but pity. I only wanted to help you feel better as your friend. All I said to you in the past was nothing but lies," he said, and I felt my heart stop beating instantly.
My eyes suddenly became red, and I felt tears streaming down my eyes. My eyes were heavy, and I could feel my heart being shred to pieces by him. I feel my tongue get stuck in my mouth. My eyes were wide open as I wallowed in pain. This pain is much different and more painful than the one I felt when my boyfriend rejected me. It was like I was being stabbed all over my body with swords. My heart was in so much pain, and I fell on my knees.
I know I have fallen in love with him, but I didn't expect this to be this painful. I knew that the pain inflicted on my heart by my mate who rejected me has been reopened by Lucius, and not only that, he has made it more painful by stabbing it.
"Are you alright?" Lucius asked as he walked up to me while trying to help me up.
I staggered backward while trying to move away from him. I have been through a lot of pain at the hands of Lucius, and I don't want to feel more. I knew that his wanting to stay as my best friend was okay with him, but it wasn't. It hurt me to know he would be with another lady, except for me. It hurts me to know I will have to watch him be with another girl from afar.
"Let me help you," he said with an insistent look in his eyes, and I felt my heart throb with pain as I stared at him.
"You don't have to; you can go to where you are off to before stumbling across me," I said with a pained voice, and he sighed heavily before replying.
"It is what friends do; friends help each other," he said, and I felt my throat go dry. I could feel tears threatening to fall from my eyes, and I did my best to hold it in.
He was stretching his hand to help me up when he stopped all of a sudden after hearing Freya's voice. He seemed to be in a daze as he stared at me.
"Lucius, this is where you are," I heard Freya's voice say, and I felt my heart drop. I felt my heart throb with more pain, and I clenched onto my heart with pain. Pain was evident in my eyes.
