saw you at the hospital.” Seeing himself completely trapped in his own scheme, Adrian asked with his trembling voice, as he could have never imagined that Markus would not stand by his side this time, unlike before.

“And you used the opportunity very well. Didn't you?

Even though I was not fully awake at that time, but voices did not fail to fell on my ears.

Yes, I heard each and everything that you two were saying, and I am not that naive to not understand what you were trying to prove, Adrian.

And when I was fully conscious, I tried to call Kazan but he did not receive, and I realised in an instant that havoc had already begun, exactly what I was afraid of.

Thankfully, Jeremy was nearby and brought me here, otherwise, I could have never forgiven myself, if something worse happened.

You did let me down this time, Adrian.” Markus stopped, only after clearing each and every doubt but still, it was not enough to make Kazan move his eyes off me, until Kaith came to stand between us blocking his sight fully.

The sword fell from his hand, creating a menacing sound just before he grabbed Adrian's neck brutally, without uttering a single word.

No, his eyes did not cease to eject the fire, but this time it was not me but Adrian who was about to burn under his fuming blaze.

And just when he was about to go back to vent his anger rightfully on certain someone, dragging Adrian along with him ever so brutally, Kazan said at last, without bothering to look back at me,

“The sinner must pay.

So, I will let you decide how you want me to pay for what I did to you. Summer.”

He left, and I knew exactly what I had to do next to end all the misery forever.

And for that, I need to meet him for one last time.

Episode 26

Summer's P.O.V

“Why did you not tell Kazan that you were not the one who stabbed me?

Why did you choose to let him harm you this way?

Why did you not even ask him to wait until I woke up to clarify that it was not you?

Why do you always have to be that much stubborn?

Why Summer?

Answer me.” Markus kept asking while his eyes did not fail to show that how much concerned he was for me. But I could not answer any of his questions for the time being, as I was completely stunned.

No doubt that it was something new to me to see Markus this way.

The one who should be showing all the concern for his mate just like I could see the same in Markus's eyes, had left already after slashing my body and soul into millions of pieces. And here was the one whom I used to hate once, was worrying the hell out of him for no reason.

Funny. Isn't it?

I sighed realising how pitiful my destiny is.

“It is none of your business. You are acting in such a way that you have always cared for her. When the reality tells that you never did. So, stop pretending, Markus.

Not only that you have never cared for her, but you were always one of them who did not bother to think twice before indulging in a fight with her for your own satisfaction.

Tell me if I am wrong.” Kaith retorted back instead of me, while he made sure to stand between me and Markus, shoving him a bit aside to show that he should stay away from me.

But he forgot one thing.

It was not him, but I should stay away from them...from everyone.

“Kaith!

It is not his fault either. If you want to blame someone or something, then blame my unfortunate fate which made me stand in such conflicts, always. So, no one did anything to me. Not even him.

And, Markus!

Let me ask you one thing.

If it was not for the fact that something made you change the way you think of me recently, and if you were in the position of Kazan, would you have believed me? Even if I tried to tell you that I did not do anything, and the whole thing was just a conspiracy of someone else, would you have believed me even then?” I asked but it seemed that no other answers would have been as perfect as my questions in respect to his queries, to make him absolutely stupefied.

Yes, neither Kaith nor Markus said a single word to answer me. They just kept looking at me with some different emotions written on their faces among which some I could read and the rest I could not.

“No, right? Then I think you got your answers, Markus!” I did not bother to say further as I felt that whatever I said was enough for him to understand my reasons.

“Summer. Could you please forgive me for being such a bad person to you? And I promise I will never give you a single chance in the future to make you regret your decision of letting me become your friend.

Do I really not deserve another chance, Summer?” I heard Markus's words very clearly but it was his eyes which were telling me that every single letter of his words did come from the depth of his heart. Yes, he was really meaning whatever he was saying right at this moment.

And I was no one to overlook such sincere eyes.

“Yes. I can consider you as my friend from now on.” I said, but I did not know that just a few of my words could cause him to become exceptionally happy. His eyes started to sparkle in joy while his lips did not bother to hold back the warmest smile ever.

“Markus, we need to go now, or Kazan will surely kill
