Chapter Seventy Eight: The Perfect Story

Chapter Seventy Eight : The Perfect Story

Rose Pov

The door opened revealing a shirtless Andrew. This is so unlike him . Why is he shirtless? His hair is wet . It looks like he just had a shower. I can see small droplets of water on his body .

He looks hot . I must say but he is nothing compared to Xavron. Xavron is the king of hotness and it hurts me so much to know that he is sleeping with Ophelia. I should be the one having sex with him not Ophelia.

Ophelia is really lucky to have Xavron but that won’t be for long . I promise I will take everything from her including Xavron soon he will be mine and nothing will stop that from happening.

“What are you doing here ?” Andrew's voice interrupted my thoughts. He sounds so cold unlike the Andrew I knew . He is heartbroken. This is good news . This shows that he loves me . It will be easy to get him back because he seems to be affected by the heartbreak.

“Hey, it's been a long time “ I said, sounding sad . Andrew doesn’t like people being sad . He likes to bring out the bright side of everyone. He likes it when someone is happy. So I know the sound will be able to break the cold walls he has built.

“What are you doing here Rose ? What do you want, Rose ?” He asked. I sense the change in his voice . It is no longer as cold as the first time . This is progress . This shows that he still has a soft spot for me . Is time to start my plan .

“I miss you Andrew. I miss you so so much . I’m sorry I am very sorry Andrew I’m sorry “ I broke into tears . Tearing up easily is one of my talents. It is very easy for me to burst into tears . Taking a glance at Andrew I can see him feeling bad about me crying. My plan is working. This is great .

“Rose stop crying and tell me what is wrong . Come in, we will talk inside . Stop crying “ he opened the door widely and stepped aside to give me space to pass . His house is still the same . Nothing much has changed . I sat on the white sofa in his living room. He gave me a glass of water to drink . I accepted it and said a small thank you.

“I’m sorry Andrew. I’m really sorry. Honestly I didn’t mean to hurt you please believe me . I wasn’t my fault “

“What are you saying? You broke up with me . You said you don’t love me anymore. You crushed me . I was heartbroken for days . I am still heartbroken . Why did you do that ? And most importantly why are you here ?” He said. This is the moment I have been waiting for. I have already planned and practiced the perfect story to tell him . A story that will make Andrew believe me . It will make him forgive me . He will tell me back after I narrate this false story to him .

“Andrew, believe me I love you very much. I left because I was forced to “

“What are you trying to say, Rose ? Who forced you to leave me ? Who forced you to break my heart. You left me broken and lonely and hurt . It was really painful “ he said. He is such a drama queen. I need to play along.

“I’m sorry Andrew after the incident that happened at the spa Landi’s Beauty, I started receiving threats from an unknown number. The person kept on telling me I’m dead . The person kept on promising to kill me . I didn’t give much thought to it …I “ and then he interrupted me

“What ? Why didn’t you say anything? Someone was threatening you and you kept quiet . This was a wrong move you dead “

I fought hard not to roll my eyes at him . He is really a big drama queen.

“Please don’t interrupt me Andrew . It is hard for me to tell you what happened. But I promised to tell you . You deserve the truth . Please don’t interrupt me again “ I tried to act hurt . And he actually fell for it .

“I’m sorry I know this must be very hard for you to say . I won’t interrupt you again “

That is such a good idea . At least it will stop me from forgetting the fake story I’m going to tell him .

“Thank you for understanding. The threat kept on going on . It became worse when the unknown person asked me to leave you and I should make sure that I break your heart. I couldn’t do that so I told the person to fuck off. The unknown person threatened me again but I refused to do what the unknown person asked me to do . After some days the number called me and said he will kill my father if I don’t leave you alone. And break your heart in the process . Again I didn’t put much thought to it.

Then the next day my mother found my father dead . “ I broke into tears to make the story more believable.

“What ? I’m sorry Rose why didn’t you say anything “

“Please let me finish the story. Don’t interrupt me. Stop interrupting me “

“Okay I will stop “

“My dad was found dead . His eyes were missing so was his heart . We buried him . The number called again and threaten to kill Ophelia, my mother and you . I couldn’t let anyone die . I couldn’t let the people I love most to die . My mother was kidnapped. I had to do what the unknown caller asked me to do and I did it . I made sure I broke your heart I’m not my mother would have been dead along with Ophelia and you Andrew. I couldn’t let that happen I just couldn’t. I’m sorry but I had to do it “

“I know Rose but why didn’t you tell me ?. I would have helped. “

“I know Andrew I’m sorry “

“Who was the person that was threatening you ?” He asked . Oh shit I wasn’t expecting him to ask something like this . But I have someone to pin the blame on and that person is dear to me . So I told him . The person's name is no other person but …
