Chapter 5: A Mistake in Love

"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.
