Dark Side of LOVE

Chapter Twelve

Justin's POV

What I did to her was tough. I know she's mad at me like she's gonna kill right now but I knew he's doing this to gain my trust so she could runaway very easily. But I'm not that dumb Carmel, I'll make you fall with your own trap.

"How is she?" I snapped back to reality when I heard Georgia's voice behind me.

"She's trying to fool me, to gain my trust." I said. Georgia is my mom's best friend. She took me when my mother died and my father abandoned me for some reason. I'm grateful to have her in my life, she's more like my mom. I owe my life on her. She respected my decision to be part of a gang that might actually ruin my life.

"Jy called this morning. He said he'll meet you on the island tomorrow." She informed. I nod my head yes.

"Georgia, you think she'll learn how to love me?"  I ask without looking at her coz I'm not really that kind of person who would ask for other peoples opinions.

She tap my shoulder. " I really don't have any idea because I never had one but I think, I think she'll learn to love you if you treat her right. You don't have to be too aggressive, Justin."

"Thank you." She tap my shoulder again and left.

Carmel's POV

After I change my dress I went out of the room to have some foods. I was surprised when I saw white petals of roses scattered all over the floor. A small grin draw in my face. I slowly make a step feeling the smooth touch of  white petals on feet. The white petals was scattered up to the stairs which is really 'Romantic'. It's funny how roses can change your mood instantly.

I'm not really a flower person before until Justin started to put white roses on my locker. And it still makes me happy. ☺️

Carmel, appreciate ONLY the petals. Not Justin.

I snapped myself back to the fact that I need to stick on my plan. Gain his trust.

"Hi, Carmel." I got shocked when Georgia suddenly speak out of nowhere. I saw her went out behind the huge stairs and reach for my hand.

"Justin is waiting for you on the garden." She gave a smile and accompanied me to the garden area where my eyes was surprised by a Christmas lights hanging on the trees. The candle lights on the hallway also light up my way that leads me to Justin standing beside the table full of white petals, foods and wine.

Georgia left me awkwardly staring at Justin's beautiful eyes. Here we are again Justin. You're going to be nice for an hour and then minutes after your mood will suddenly change again and you'll slam me back on the walls and fuck me up.

"Hi, beautiful." His cold husky voice greeted.

"Way back when you first confess your feelings on me. Cute." I said pretending that I appreciate this little piece of shit where he's good at.

He carefully bring me to my chair and he sat on the chair on the other side of the table. He took my hand resting on table. "We're going to the paradise I was talking about lately. We're staying there for a week."

"Oh, okay. " I nod my head and my eyes went to the food. "Let's eat!" I started to eat all the meals on the table while he's just staring at me.

"Justin, what are you staring at? Go touch your food." I said.

"I'm good baby, go eat as many as you can." He replied and carefully wipe the side of my lips using the table napkin.

"Uhm- babe." He called in low tone.

"Yes." I respond.

"Did you even learn to love me before? Before you found out that I was a real bad ass? Would you love me if I didn't attempt to touch you?"

I breath out a sigh and bowed my head. "Why did you do that to me?" I've been wanted to ask this question now I got the chance.

"Because I don't want to lose you." He answered.

"So you think raping me is the best way to do? What the hell popped into your mind that raping me might made me stay? You just gave me another reason to stay away, Justin."

"I was just so obsessed about you, until now. I want you so bad, Carmel."

"Why do you want me?"

"Because you were everything I need."

"Why do you need me?"

"Because I love you."

"Then why did you attempt to raped me?" He didn't say a word. Tears started to form inside my eyes. " You have no idea what happened to me. I was bullied to death and I was tortured by Donna. I was traumatized. And when I saw you three years after that bullshit, I flew back to the time where I was so terrified. Actually it's okay, being bullied and being tortured? I'm so used to that. The most painful thing was, I fell in love with you. And I was so ready say that!. But then you made me realize that I was wrong. You broke my heart. So, way back from your first question? Yes, I have learned to love you. But that love was transformed into hate now Justin." I sighed wiping away my tears. I stood up and I was about to walk away when I spoke.

"I'm sorry."

I just bowed my head to cry. If 'sorry' could change everything.

"But if you give me another chance, I could find that love back."

"Let's stick to your plan, Justin. I'll pretend that I love and you'll give me my freedom to live my life."

"I'll give you your freedom to do whatever you want, but you can't live your life without me. You can't runaway."

I didn't respond anymore. I continued from walking. I'm going on my own plan. I'll gain his trust and then if I got that freedom I'll took that chance to flew myself out his life where he can't find me.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I think Carmel made a wrong decision to tell Justin that she have learn to love him before. 🤔

So, Selena is in the Philippines right now for her revival tour and I am currently in tears because I want to meet her so bad. 😭😩
