I hope you know we had everything...

I was sitting in the bathtub staring at the wall in front of me. I feel betrayed. Is this how Tom felt every time I sabotaged our plans? Is this how he felt every time I chose Niall over him? I covered my face muffling my sobs. I was a fool for letting him manipulate me like that. I was a damn fool.

I was being blinded by his sweet words and affections. I was being a huge fool. One thing I hated about Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby is how she told her daughter that she should be a "beautiful fool." I told myself I would never be fooled by a man. And here I was. Doing the exact same thing I told myself I wouldn't do.

"babe?" Niall called opening the door slightly. I wiped my tears splashing my face with water.
"Yeah?"
"Can I join?" he asked.
"Yeah sure."

Pretend.
Pretend.

He's here to manipulate me. I know that now. But I had to pretend that his plans are working in order for my plan to work.
He sat in front of me. I gave him a light smile which he returned back.
"You look beautiful." He caressed my cheek.

Beautiful words to warm my heart.

"Thank you." I smiled at him.
Pretend.
Pretend.
His hand travelled toward my wrist and pulled me closer.

Extra affection to melt me.

I smiled.
Pretend.
Pretend.
"I love you." He whispered.

Beautiful lie to finesse me.

"I love you too."
Pretend
Pretend.

He received a text. He looked at it and tried to act normal but I saw a shadow crossing his face. He had a plan. But so did I.

What if he actually loves you though?

Don't follow your heart this time.

But what if-

I kissed him to silent the voices in my head.

He dropped his phone to his side and grabbed my face kissing me back. He pulled me on him and groaned while our tongues fought each other.

Pretend.
Pretend.

Although I will miss his lips and body on mine. He was a good kisser and he was really good in bed.
But he was a terrible person.

He sucked.

He pressed me into him more and kissed me harder. So I kissed him harder too. Just so he thinks that he had fooled me again. I wanted to laugh. He was the one being fooled right now.

ONE HOUR EARLIER

I dialed the number while letting out a shaky breath.
"Hello?"
"I will let you arrest me. I deserve it. But give me one chance to at least redeem myself a little."
"Daphne." He breathed out.

"I will help you arrest him. For real this time. No love. No feelings. No sabotaging our plans. I cross my heart and I promise." I said.

I could hear his breathing.
"One last chance. Then arrest me as well." I said.
Silent breathing.
