||chapter fourteen||

At night nine o'clock the bell rang. Who is here at this hour? Opening the door I can see there was Enzo in a hoodie. Why is Enzo here? “Cansu, let me in, '' he said in a deep voice. I let him in and locked the door behind him. “Why are you here? I asked. “ I am here to confess everything”he replied. “What !!?” I reacted.

Night is beautiful like stars are peeking at you and a cold breeze is humming for you. This is the night for lovers to talk with your dear one but I didn’t expect this night to know about all the secrets of my life. Just like stars whom we cannot see because of sunlight but at night in darkness all the stars are glittering together . All the hidden reasons behind my misery come out together in my life today.

“ Iwas recently completed my MBA at Princeton University. My elder brother was a struggling dancer. Beside it he had part time dinner in a restaurant. His name is Liam, he fell in love with a girl , they were deep in love. Good times are rare. That girl is so ambitious so she told my brother she will join her father's family business. My brother was happy about her decision but that girl persisted that Liam will be her personal assistant. Liam declined that because he was mostly busy with his dancing shows but She was so stubborn eventually he agreed. The father of that girl had no idea about their relationship but after knowing it he declined their relationship. Her father therented Liam to ruin his career but he had no idea how dangerous his own daughter was. Liam cut all the connections with his girlfriend. One day Liam is missing. Isearced him everywhere he could be but not a single trace about him. With no sign of Liam I was devastated. Mom sent us here to shine. My dream was Princeton and he was dancing, all dreams shattered in the blink of an eye. Mom was a single mother because my father was in ARMY.In one mission we lost him. When I lost all hope to return Liam to my life again, his girlfriend approached me to find him. She had two conditions--one: I would act as his fiance and two: I would join her fathers company . I declined but only to be surprised by her confession. She was the one who kidnapped Liam. Her father never accepted LIAM and if she eloped she would get no property from her father. So her plan is to act like a good girl and help her father in his business. I would join their company . Finally got engaged with him. After all the properties would be by her name I am free” Enzo is telling his side of the story . We are in the kitchen, he is sitting in a chair and I am making coffee. I gave his coffee mug, hearing all this I lost my appetite to drink coffee. “ Cansu, I always wanted to be loved by my partner but after marriage. Life played a cruel game with me . Seeing you , marrying you is the best thing that has ever happened in my life. My way of marrying you is not a good process but I can't have you in my life normally. My life is no longer a normal life. Grace Lorenzo’s life is a game now. Liam’s girlfriend is no one but Melinda. I want to be happy at once in my life with you. I really loved you but my love made your life miserable.” ENzo paused and huffed out loud. Melina!Melinda did this all. She suffered from Enzo this much. What an evil bitch. Ah, my Enzo suffered so much. “ My father didn’t know that he would not be with us but he was the one who wanted to use his children's surname with their mothers name. He respects mum a lot and what a gentleman my father in law was. Alas! His son is a disgrace to himself. I tortured you, insulted you, kept you from your family because I cannot allow anyone to know about our marriage. I don’t want to hurt you anymore. You are free now . You can live your life as you want . Good night , Cansu” with saying Enzo stood up and went to her mothers room to lock the door behind him. What should I do? I went into my room to sink into deep thought.
