I couldn't believe that he was unravelled my deepest secret with a small wipe of his fingers, I never knew I had to face this day once.

''Carter, you misunderstood again, I am not her, why don't you ever understand!'' I lied, tears slowly filling my eyes, I couldn't contain the immense pain splashing my body.

''Remove those lenses, Now!'' he roared pointing at me, I gulped as vulnerability flurried through me, I might be a strong woman, But in front of him, I was weak and pathetic.

I softly removed my green lenses from my eyes, revealing my honey-brown eyes, I looked up into those rage-filled blues, darkness swirling in them. He cocked his head to his side maliciously.

''Well Well who is this?'' he smirked without a tinge of humour in his voice, pure venom laced in every single word.

Those eyes that always shone with love for me, those lips that smiled and kissed me with passion, those words that were coated with honey were long gone, he was not the man I once and still love. I have changed, the world has changed and he changed with that too.

I knew I was the culprit here, I lied to him, I cheated him by marrying and sleeping with my best friend when my heart was with someone.

I gasped as his fingers were wrapped around my neck, my eyes widened when his other hand harshly unbuttoned a few buttons of my shirt, I was literally shivering at this, I had never seen such anger in him. There was hurt, pain, vulnerability, fury, sadness, and deceit in those eyes.

When the back of my shoulder was visible, his fingers traced the birthmark on my back, I closed my eyes tightly unable to control the emotions whirling through me, His single touch on my bare skin was igniting my whole body.

''Anything you wish to say Kathrine'' he seethed, I gulped nervously. His anger was rising every second. The darkness of his eyes scanned my whole body and then looked deeply at my honey-brown orbs.

''I need every single patch of makeup from your body removed, I need to see your skin bit my bit'' with each word his face came closer to me, his mint-scented breath fanned my face, giving my cold skin warmth, I shuddered in fear and a strange form of excitement.

''Why don't you trust me, I am not her'' I had the audacity to lie again. I tightened my fists as his lips roamed inches away from the sensitive skin of my neck, he was making it hard for me to breathe.

''Oh yeah? Will your parents lie love? Your parents will definitely know how many kids they gave birth to..'' he whispered, nearly kissing my ears. A wave of pleasure shot like electricity passed my spine.

''M-My Parents? A-Are they alive? H-How?'' I stuttered, that can't be true.

''Hmm? True, But nothing is hidden from my eyes, I know everything, every single damn thing'' he whispered deeply, my hairs were on their end, I whimpered.

''Now Now Odette Willow, why the hell did you marry Jaxon Smith, Fake your death, Cheat on me, Take my daughter away from me?'' he said lowly, our noses touching each other's faces. There was evilness in his eyes that nearly scared me to death, I have never seen this side of him.

I couldn't say anything as his lips were inches from me, I wanted him to kiss me, years of pining,  I wanted it to end. 

His hand snaked around the back of my neck, pulling me closer, I parted my lips and closed my eyes, awaiting the kiss. 

My eyes widened as his grip on my neck tightened and threw me onto the ground, I fell on my palms, pain shooting through my body from my hand, My silver hair threw on my face, I looked back at him, His palms and jaws were clenched, a vein popping on his temple, he looked hot in a bad way. 

''You expect me to kiss you whore?! The woman I knew and loved, you killed her'' he roared kneeling in front of me, Tears made their way down as I saw his eyes being glossy with anger.

I shut my eyes tight, letting the tears cascade down, I knew I deserved this, I wronged him,  but I can't accept that. I got up and dusted my dress.

''Yes! She is dead and she isn't me! I changed Eric! I am not your Odette anymore and accept it! I loved you and not anymore!'' I seethed, tears endless, I knew I was lying again and again.

''Ah! Yes, you are right Kathrine! You are not her, I am a fool to love you, Odette! I died for you, I died with you in my mind! You worthless prostitute! You are nothing but that, knowing that you are alive, Knowing that I must be pining for just your touch you shunned me! You went on fucking that fool!'' he boomed, tears streaming down his beautifully structured face.

I turned my head onto my side, unable to accept this bitter truth, that's why I saw his face going bitter with some pain, His hands held his head as he fell on his knees, a painful and blood-curdling noise erupted from his mouth as if he was in immense pain.

I gasped and rushed to his side, and held his muscular bicep, whatever might have happened, my love for this man never faded and seeing him in pain was the worst thing that anyone can do to him, I might have hurt him, but someone thing else, no.

He slapped my hands away and whispered painfully ''Pockets'', I dug my hand into his slack pockets and developed a pill, I held his sharp jaw softly and opened his mouth, I put the pill inside his mouth and he gulped it in.

Within minutes his face started relaxing and he got up, he held his chest and started breathing hard.

''You want to know what happened? Who did this to me? YOU! Odette Willow! You are the reason for every pain in my life!'' he seethed shattering my heart into a million pieces, My lips quivered as he looked at me with all the hate in the world.

''I just tried to protect you Eric! I never wanted to hurt you, You died once because of me, I can't kill you anymore, It's because I love you'' I argued, my body slumping as tears fell on the expensive carpet below, staining it salt.

He just scoffed cruelly and looked straight into my brown eyes with those thunder blue ''Seriously? I lived all these years without you! Even before you were born, I survived! I don't need your protection! I craved your love and trust, if you can't give that then stop loving me!'' he shouted.

''I can't stop loving you! I might sound like a fool but I did this for you! Every breath of my life is for you! You made me feel alive even in the darkest times, every kiss with Jax, every time I sleep with Jax, I feel you, I wished it was you, I never stopped loving you, even for a minute, I lied and cheated you for your own wellbeing.'' I sobbed, I felt emotion pass through his eyes and then cold again.

''Liar! You cheated on me! I did not! I never did! I was faithful to you even in my death bed! I had never touched a single woman after I knew that you died!'' he boomed, That triggered me, what about two kids? Liar is him!

''Sorry what? You never touched a single woman! What about those two kids from Sofia! Damian and Annabelle? Did the come from the sky or from your dick!'' I scoffed, He shut his eyes to control his rising fury.

He stormed towards me and grabbed my shoulder and pushed me onto the wall, his eyes boring into me ''They are not my children! Annabelle is Sofia's and her boyfriend's daughter! She is just acting as my wife for the world because I don't want the world to think otherwise,  She doesn't even live in my mansion as for Damian, he might be adopted by me, but he is not less than my son! I saw him on the streets, a 4-year-old boy walked in the rain, and I found a son in him, a refuge'' he shouted making me freeze, I slept with Jax with confidence that he slept with Sofia, what have I done?

My heart melted at Eric's kindness, no wonder Damian looks nothing like Eric, I should have known, he stayed faithful with me but I? What have I done, I wish I could die right now.

As tears streamed down my eyes I cupped his face, his face softened as he looked at me with a strange form for love.

''I am sorry'' I whispered, and her eyes softened at me ''I can't be with you, I don't deserve someone like you, I am a whore and I agree, Forget I ever existed, I never deserved you'' I cried as my soul broke with every word.

The same deception reflected on his face, his face hardened as he grabbed my hands and took them away from his face.

''That's all you want to say, if you were ready, I was ready to forgive you, Odette, we could live together, with our daughter and my son'' he whispered painfully, his voice cracking and breaking with extreme emotion.

''I love you, Ric, I love you so much that I questioned my own existence, I love you so much that it pained to take a single breath without you, I love you so much that there were no me, there were only us, I love you so much that I am ready to let go of you for your sake'' I whispered rubbing my thumb on his cheeks again, he was listening to me like a little kid, it nearly made me laugh.

''Then don't leave Rose, we can fight this, we can fight this whole universe because we know in the end only love will win, let's fight this world together because this love is forever, let's do it, we will fight for us, for Damian, Lia, for this world'' he said leaning and pressing our heads together, I felt tranquil.

The door suddenly opened making us turn towards it, we saw Damian and Lia looking at us with shock and horror.

I opened my mouth to say something but all I saw was Jaxon aiming at us with a gun and everything went silent with a single..

BANG!
