His Rectifying Graze [COMPLETED✔]

CHAPTER 30: Confession Of Truth [✔]

KATE’s P.O.V.

         I burst out into tears as I read the whole letter. Elijah’s Dad, Mr. Elijioh Ramirez, is one of Dad’s closest colleagues when our company was just starting. The letter said that Dad fired him for causing trouble to the name of the company, leading Mr. Ramirez to suffered in bankruptcy before he finds out that he has a cancer.

          He wrote this letter to inform Elijah of what happened and to make him take a revenge upon our family. And maybe, just maybe, he thought that I could be his way to get that revenge. I can’t help but to think that he just used me for his plan.

         I dropped the letter on the floor, my hands are now trembling so bad. Elijah... Did he really waited for me after eight fucking years or he doesn’t even care about me at all? Did he just said that thing so that I will trust him? Why is fate so cruel to me?

“Kate? Are you alright?” I heard his voice from behind.

         I slowly turned around, seeing his confused face. He looked at me with worried, before he tried to reach out for my hand. But I didn’t let him touch me. I backed away, my eyes fixed on the letter laying down on the floor. He followed my gaze, seeing the letter of his father. He look shocked, before nervousness suddenly replaced the worried expression in his eyes.

“Kate, let me explain...” he started.

“Explain what, Elijah?!” I shouted.

“This is not what it looks like... That letter... It was sent to me twelve years ago by my Dad.”

“So what, Elijah?! He send you that for what?! I read it right! I read it with my own eyes and I’m not an idiot not to understand that letter of your Dad!”

         He picked up the letter, before he torn it into pieces.

“I don’t care about this stupid letter anymore! All I care about right now is you, Kate! Yes, my Dad did send me that fucking letter but I wasn’t planning to do what he requested... You know that, Kate! I should have burned that letter a long time ago...”

“Really? Then why didn’t you Elijah? Tell me...” My tears started to stream down on my cheeks. “Why, why did you talk to me when we were still in high school? Was it all part of your plan?” I asked.

“Kate...”

“Just answer me, Elijah! I’m fucking tired of being used by someone! Just tell me the truth!”

“Fine... At first, I’m not even a bit interested in that plan of my Dad. And yes, I did talk to you because of this stupid letter. But I only did that because I saw you in the same school as mine. I waited to get a perfect timing and a chance... And when I did, I didn’t know that I would fall in love with you... So I stopped doing it for my Dad... I started doing it for myself. Because I like you... I love you, Kate,” he lengthy explained.

“No, you don’t! Maybe you’re just saying that to make me look like a fool.”

         I turned around, before walking away. I was about to opened his door when he hugged me from behind, causing me to be unable to move as he tightened his embrace.

“Listen to me... Please, Kate. Everything about us... It’s all true. I never lie to you... Everything that I said... It’s true, Kate... Please...” I heard him pleaded.

         I wiped my tears away, taking a deep breath while my mind is debating whether to forgive him or not. The latter wins, maybe just for now but I wanted to have some space right at this moment.

“You know how hard for me to trust someone, Elijah. But you broke that trust I’ve given to you. I thought everything will going to be fine now... But I was wrong... So wrong.”
