Chapter 116: The Truth
Jules’ pov
Blaze stared at me silently without saying anything at first. His other hand came up and framed the side of my face and I felt my heart flutter away in my chest as I blinked at him.
"You don’t have to, bunny." He finally announced, and I felt my heartbeat accelerate again, mind starting to panic on reflex.
"Not until you’re ready, okay? You shouldn’t do this because you’re sorry for not trusting me or because you want me to forgive you. I wasn’t mad at you to begin with." He explained, sounding sincere and voice soft. Everything he was saying felt like it was tugging at my heartstrings as it replayed again in my head.
I bit on my bottom lip for a few moments before finally letting out a long exhale, and then I began to speak.
"But I do want to tell you though." I admitted, because it was nothing but the truth.
I had wanted to come clean to him since I could remember, I had just been held back by my second thoughts and my desire to be as careful as possible.
After the entire conversation I had with Andrian, I had still refused to believe that Blaze was being with me or helping me with an ulterior motive. It was why I had still been unsure about listening to Andrian and completely keeping my secret to myself like he had urged me to.
I mean, if Blaze had really been doing things to me with an ulterior motive and all the problems I got into which he saved me from were all planned, then how does tonight’s encounter want to be explained? It’s clear that Andrian is just being paranoid for nothing, which I understand when I look at it from his own perspective.
But from my own perspective, after everything Blaze had done for me, and most importantly, after tonight, it’s very understandable for me to fully come clean to him without holding anything back.
His hands framed my face as his eyes bore into mine and I suppressed a shiver as I blinked a few times.
