Chapter 221 - [Bonus] Edward's Failed Confession Letters

To all those who missed Edward's official confession letter in Chapter 191 - Scarlet's Reply, this is the original version.

Edward's Confession Letter:

To Scarlet the most beautiful and awkward person in this world,

I fell in love with you twice before I realised that you were one and the same. I liked you as Frost with your honesty and strong sense of justice, standing up against the cyber bullies. I like your kindness when you gave the rule breakers a second chance. Then, I fell in love with you all over again as Scarlet when I found out that you liked black coffee too and debated over movies with me. Nobody else would watch movies the same way I do except you and I think I'll be lonely without a movie partner for marathon nights.

I know I was wrong to not tell you the truth but I was scared. Scared that you didn't like me too. However, I've decided to put my fears away to let you know today how I truly feel. I'm done with being a coward so here goes nothing.

I think I'm in love with you, Scarlet. Won't you be my girlfriend?

- Edward Bayon.

Now, let's have a look at the bloopers Edward wrote while trying to create that.

>>Xxx Destiny Aitsuji xxXTo Scarlet the most beautiful girl in the world

I cannot think of anyone who has hair silkier than yours, eyes shinier than yours or a face that's cuter than yours.

You're everything that drives me crazy and I never knew how much I could find a person attractive until I saw you. It's crazy to think how much I've fallen for you even though we've only met. You've taken my heart away and now please accept my undying love and confession!

- Edward Bayon.

Elfie's comment: Bro, you sound crazy. You didn't even ask her to be your girlfriend. What's the point of writing this letter?

Draft #2:

Dear Scarlet

I love you so much that you've started appearing in my dreams every night. I've started seeing you more and more with Alicia lately and your smile is so radiant that it blinds me. Your presence alone is like holy water for my tainted soul.

You have no idea how the green flames of jealousy burn inside of me whenever I think about how you got to meet Alicia first instead of me. When she showed me the wefie of you and her on your first day of school, I already liked you. When I found out that you were Frost, I knew that you were the one. I've liked you for a very long time so much that I imagined us going on dates, holding hands and eating ice cream in a park with nobody.

When I found out that you were single, I couldn't help myself and started to become greedier. I wanted to become not just a reliable friend but someone even closer to you.

I might be unworthy but I promise that I will treat you right. Please be my girlfriend. I love you so damn much.

-Edward Bayon.

Elfie's comment: Bro, you sound like a psychopath here. What's with that delusional thought and that bipolar attitude? Before you can get her to say yes you're going to scare her away! Her dad will come after you with a loaded revolver and the head of security will torture you after they catch you. Are you trying to make the Wilde family your enemy?

Draft #3:

To Scarlet the love of my life

I didn't mean to hurt you and I didn't want to lie to you when I found out the truth. I was so afraid that you might not like me that's why I took advantage of the second personality as Jedd77 to confess to you. I wanted to see your reaction to decide if I should confess my feelings for you as Edward Bayon.

I didn't intend for it to scare you so badly and I feel truly guilty for that. Please forgive me, it really wasn't in my intention to do such a horrible thing to you. I know I wasn't playing fair but my feelings for you remain true. I loved you as Jedd77 before I knew you in person. However, I also liked you as Scarlet when I first saw you with Alicia. Although both your personalities were very different, I still saw similarities that I fell for. Your kindness and your determination were the things that made me like you so much. As I spent more time discovering both sides of you, it was inevitable that I eventually found myself hopelessly in love with who you are.

Scarlet, if you forgive me could you please give me another chance? I would like to be your boyfriend to love you and cherish you forever.

-Edward Bayon.

Elfie's comment: Bro... I just don't know what to say. Are you even seriously trying to write a romantic confession letter? This sounds like the kind of confession letter one writes before they kill themselves in a suicide war, get arrested and receive a life sentence or just give up on life in general. You're messed up in the head, I wonder why anyone would even date you. Please don't make me read any more of your crappy letters, I don't think it will work. You didn't even tell her the most important part about why you like her and why you want her to be your girlfriend. These things should come from your heart! I give up. Find someone else, I'm not reading them any more. You're a lost cause.

So that's it for the drafts. Since Elfie stopped at three, I will as well. The rest of the story should be known already. Edward called his mother and read a sample of the letters his father sent her to draft his confession letter. All three letters in the draft were then finalised and reworded into the version that you see. I hope this satisfies your curiosity.

Side note, I have a Youtube Channel where I talk about the behind the scenes of Love Journal writing process that I stream my writing on Twitch. Please follow me there as I will be uploading videos explaining the inspiration behind this book.

That's all from me, thank you for reading!
