Chapter 80: releasing me from my burden
She returned and they sat down and talked
"Julius is everything alright with you and Nina"
"Yes why"
"I don't know why you stop talking to me"
"I was busy…..uhm Aileen if I ever lie to you….."
"There might be a reason why you would lie to me and I wouldn't be mad at you"
"Do you promise me that you won't"
"I know you Julius. for you to lie to me it will be for a good reason" she said smiling and he hugged her
"Thank you for releasing me from this burden"
Julius was happy
He and Aileen became close again
Julius wanted to make Aileen forget about Rìan but because of his guilty conscience he didn't realize that he had achieved what he wanted
"You look happy" sel said
"Yes Julius and i sorted out the problem and we're close again. Thank you sis all I really needed to do was put in an effort too"
"For about a month all you've been talking about is Julius"
"Is that wrong?"
"No" sel said
"No sis is not wrong actually I am glad, for once Rìan is out of the picture" sel thought
"You and Julius looks good together if not that I know he has a girlfriend just like others even I would have thought both of you are lovers that's how beautiful your bond is don't lose him" sel said and Aileen smiled
Ever since the encounter with Julius, Rìan had been thinking a lot
"Maybe he's right, I couldn't love her right" he said
Mika noticed he had been off ever since that incident although he tried to smile through it, he was more into his projects
It's been months and everyone was living their lives in the best way they could
"Julius, you want to cancel the partnership between us have you considered the losses"
"Yes I have, these past months I have worked tirelessly and even stayed away from the people I cared about, finding solutions to this I know the contract between us and I will bear the losses and damages of breaching the contract"
"This was a very good partnership deal"
"I know, that's why it took me some time in finding solutions for it, I want to be independent and I know our company is up for this new start"
"Why?"
"Because I don't want anything to do with you and your family I don't trust you"
"What have I done"
"You lied!!!! You hurt someone who's important to me!!! And I know this is not something to argue over but I can't help it because when she hurts I get hurt too. You made us believed your brother was dead but he wasn't, you blamed Aileen meanwhile your brother is alive and living well abroad how could you be this cruel to that girl your brother has cost so much pain to, she blamed herself yet you watch and said nothing,I want nothing to do with you"
"What?!!!!" Sel said as she heard
"Nothing you heard wrong?" Julius said
"I heard you Julius, is this what you were talking about the other time?"
"I am sorry you were not supposed to hear that I am really sorry" Julius said to sel
"I am sorry this was the last thing I wanted to happen, I never wanted to cause this I am really sorry" Julius said to Brian and left
"Is what he was saying true? Is your brother alive?"
"I am so sorry sel, I tried to tell you on the night of our wedding but you stopped me"
"You had years to tell me that, you're selfish my sister didn't want to be my bridesmaid and missed out what most would have done at their sisters wedding because she thought the sight of her will bring memories your family wouldn't want to remember and so she isolated herself how cruel could you people be"
