Married To My Enemy #E-AWARDS2017

Telling a bit of the truth

Jes POV

The next morning . . .

It was 5 am. I was already wake. More like I couldn't sleep he entire night because I want thinking about something.

I was thinking,

How can I possibly murder somebody who I love?

I didn't want to do it. Sure, I hurt a lot of people before. But murdering . . . I have never done that.

It is all step mom's plan. If I don't do it then she will hurt Melody. Melody is my world. How can I choose her safety over my love or is it the other way around?

I am so confused.

Austin and I will get married in 2 days and I didn't know what to do. I really don't. I love Austin. How can I hurt him? But, it is not like I have any other option.

What am Igoing to do?

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. I went near the door and opened the door and found Austin.

Austin was wearing a simple tshirt and pant and his hair was a mess. Austin went into he room and closed the door.

"Austin, what are you . . ." Before I could say anything, he put a finger on my lips.

"Shhh . . ." Austin said as he leaned closer to me, keeping his finger on my lips.

I looked at Austin. I didn't understand what he was doing this early morning. Austin is not a morning person for sure.

I saw him looking at the bed as he pulled me on the bed and we sat on the bed.

"Austin . . ."

"I am sorry," Austin said.

"Sorry? For what?" I asked.

"Yesterday . . . I . . . Kissed you," he said.

Oh, so he regreat kissing me? I felt pain on my heart. My eyes became watery and I heald my tears. Austin didn't want any relationship with me.

"I drank and fought with Mr. Quince and then even he yelled at Ethan," he sighed. "I even forced myself on you . . . I am sorry, Jes," he said as I looked at him once again, trying now to shed my tears. "But . . ." This time he looked at me and I looked at my fingers, trying not to make eye contact with him. "I didn't regreat it."

That caught my attention.

I looked at Austin. "Austin . . ."

"I became unconscious after you ran away form my room and when I woke around 1 am, I just couldn't sleep. I remembered everything and I am . . . Sorry. I shouldn't forced myself on you . . . Not when you don't love me . . . I am . . . Sorry," Austin said. "I actually had the drink for you and it had a type of drug that would made you tell truth."

"Truth?"

"Yeah, I mean . . . In Japan, I found you in my office . . . Then, I heard you talking to your step mom about me . . . And then, I actually heard your step mom said you need to take revenge on me. I was confused and . . ." Austin looked at me. "I wanted to find out the truth."

"Truth?" I found myself laughing in a pain, of course. "You really want to know the truth, huh? Then, let me tell you, Austin."

Austin looked at me.

"I am a gangster," I said.

Austin looked at me, stunned. "You are joking."

"I am not . . ."

"But . . ." Before Austin could sat something more, I interrupted.

"Please, Austin. Hear me out. I can hold this burden on me anymore," I said as I looked at him, tears rolling down my eyes.

Austin nodded.

I sighed as I said, "So, yeah. I am a gangster. I know archery, Kung fu, karate, dojo, self defense, sword fighting and all those were taught to me to take a revenge you on."

Austin looked at me, stunned. "Revenge?"

"Yeah," I said. "Austin, I can't tell you he whole truth now. There are so much things to tell you but, for now, I will only tell you why I have to take revenge on you."

Austin looked at me, confusingly.

"Austin, you remember when you were a small kid and you were new to China, your nmom and dad locked you in a room and went somewhere?"

"Yeah," Austin said. "I, Ayumi were in a small room. Ethan and Ella were very small that time. There was also some gangsters who tried to attack and we threw some sleeping bombs on those gangsters and the garters fell asleep. Later, the police did captured the gangsters."

"Yeah, the police did arrest those gangsters and one of those gangsters is my step dad," I said.

"What?"

"Yeah," I said.

"But, don't you have step mom? How do you have step dad then?"

"Austin, I was born in a family where . . . Forget it. Thst is not the focus. Anyways, I was 5 years old when my dad remarried to my step mom. My step mom then of course remarried to my step dad and took over the . . . My bad. I mean, my step mom and my step dad after that raise me. So, since my step dad got attacked by you and was taken to the prison, my step mom wanted revenge form you, Austin."

"So, that is why she wants me to get married with you so you can take revenge on me after we get married?! That is so dumb!" Austin yelled.

I didn't say anything.

"So, it was from the start that you needed to make me like you right, Jes?" Austin asked.

I still didn't say noting.

"Talk Jes! TALK, DARN IT!" Austin yelled. "I can't believe everything was a lie! If you wanted revenge so badly the you could have attacked me but no, you wait till we get married so you can betray my trust and hurt me?"

I felt tears rolling down my eyes. I knew Austin was right and he had the whole right to be angry at me. I deserved it.

"You know, Jes? I never really liked a woman. I never even been so close to a woman. And when I finally thought that I found somebody to cherish, somebody to care and somebody to love . . . Everything turned out to be a lie!?" Austin yelled.

More tears rolled down my eyes as I sobbed silently.

"I didn't expect this from you, Jes," Austin said as he got out of the bed and was going to go out of the room.

"Austin," I said as he looked at me.

Tears ran more out of my eyes because I knew what I was going to tell him will break my heart into pieces.

"If you ever thought that we have something special between eachother then please do me a favour," I said.

Austin looked at me.

"Stop the wedding."
