"You caused all of this, Elena." Adrian repeated coldly and Elena furrowed her eyebrows in confusion mixed with sadness.
Then Adrian began to explain:
"You forced me to love you when I was at my weakest."
Elena blinked and staggered back at the revelation.
"What? I... I forced you?" She asked incredulously.
"Yes, You showed up when I was grieving the loss of my first love. You took advantage of that but now I am seeing clearly now." Adrian said, his eyes hard and unrelenting.
For a moment, Elena forgot how to breathe. She was dumbfounded.
"That is not true!" She protested in a trembling voice when she finally breathed again and found her voice.
"Adrian, think back to when we met. I didn't force you. It wasn't like that." She added, persuasively.
"Oh really?" Adrian scoffed in annoyance.
"Yes! We met at a party. Don't you remember?" Elena yelled desperately, her eyes filled with tears.
