Chapter 97 - Confession 2

"Even that time in the restaurant, on our first date after you decided to give me a chance, I tried to confess and come clean. But your friend Rhianna totally ruined it.  I started thinking why you hate rich people when you have someone from that circle as your best friend. I couldn't take risk without knowing the proper story, after all you are the only love in my life. More than confessing, losing you became my nightmare."

"And, after doing some research on your famiLy background, I found out about Russell's. I thought that it was the reason you don't like people like them. After coming to conclusion that you will not reject me right away, I again tried to confess to you in your house when we had our dinner date, but I couldn't muster up my courage."

" And that next day you got to know about Charlotte and me and I assumed that you were having wrong thoughts about me and I decided to postpone it again. Later on, when I found out about the orphanage and your problems linked with them, I realized that a simple confession wouldn't change anything and that, I have to think of a solution." 

"After I had a talk with Charlotte and Calvin, I decided to give away my CEO position if you are not fine with my position as the CEO. As I found a better solution to our problem, at last I mustered all my confidence and got ready to confess to you after our weekend trip. However, the stars weren't on our side and you met with an accident." 

"After that I met Harry and I found out about your past with Nickolas and why you hate him so much, Sabrina. That made me more scared when I started comparing the lies I told to you with what he did in the past to get your love. I felt we resembled a lot and it started giving me nightmares of losing you. But, after you woke up, I have still tried to confess but taking your head injury into consideration I decided to postpone it till you recuperate well." Louis said. 

Brina who was listening attentively, couldn't help but remember everything that happened on the days he mentioned right now. 

She nodded her head and smiled a bit. See, she isn't wrong about her love. He... he.. didn't cheat her like Nickolas did. 

Louis saw the pain that just flicked and evaporated in her eyes. He pursed his lips and took her hand and kissed the back of her palm before holding it to his face dearly. 

"I know that I was wrong by getting close to you lying in the first place,Brina.  But I couldn't control myself, believe me. I love you so much that my mind and heart were often in a mess of indecisiveness."

"I am sorry, forgive me, baby girl? I know that I don't deserve your forgiveness but please...." Louis pleaded, his eyes filled with tears. 

He took her hand and placed it right on his heart.  "But please understand" he said again as a tear rolled down his face and fell on her wrist. 

Instantly, Brina teared up too and in no time her cheeks got stained with tears. Her eyes are already puffy now. 

She ran her fingers through his hair as she moved closer to him and hugged him to her heart. His ears were lying on her heart and he could hear her heavy heart beat. 

"There is nothing to forgive, Louis. Because, you didn't do any biggest sin. It's natural for all of us to lie and it is a known fact that we give priority to our selfish deeds"

" And what you have done is nothing more but the same. No one is perfect and in fact, at that time you didn't even know what I was going through. So, I can't blame you for doing it." 

"And, I understand how much courage it takes to confess something which might separate you from your happiness. And, I don't deserve that right to even get angry at you and criticize you when I am doing the same." 

"To be frank, you are quite courageous that you came up with the confession. How much ever I try, I might not be able to do it. Actually, I don't even deserve to get angty on you when I have secrets much bigger than it." Brina told. 

"I love you Louis, that means I am not leaving you. When you are ready to even walk with me to the death's door, how can I not even do this simple sacrifice for you and amend my beliefs? Though Harry warned you what might happen if you step into my life, yet, you didn't hesitate to stay by my side every second of all these days. You got ready even when he warned about the gamble you are playing with your life" Brina emotionally spoke as she hugged him, tears streaming down her face. 

"How can I get a man like you.. huh?? And, how could you think that I will leave the best blessing god has given to me? Never" she said, crying and smiling at the same time. 

Louis wiped away her tears and kissed her eyes. "I love you too, Brina and that means I am ready to do anything for you. And, I haven't sacrificed anything. Even if I did, it is totally worth a wonderful and understanding woman like you." Louis said kissing her swollen eyes. 

"And, there is no need to risk anything for our relationship. I promise that I will stand in between you and your enemies to protect both you and Will. And, I won't let anyone unmask the secrets that you are hiding. Nothing will happen to Will and you, I promise" Louis swore. 

Brina nodded her head gratefully and their teary eyes got locked as they intensely gazed into each other, unfathomable emotions and immeasurable love brimming through them. Soon, as if their hearts and souls are perfectly synchronised, their lips crashed with each other and they kissed fiercely and passionately. 

However, their passionate moment got disturbed when someone knocked on their door.
