"Anna..there is something I want to tell...It's that I..I'm…" Alex felt his hands were already sweet enough. Anna's eyes were glued to his face, waiting for him to answer her answer.

But Alex backed off. He took a step back, distancing himself from Anna. A confusional look came on Anna's face as she saw what he was exactly doing. 'Why is he behaving so oddly just when I asked him to reveal everything?'

Anna had this suspicion grow more and more while observing his facial expressions and his body language. 

In the past, she had let it go. In the beginning, he said that he wants to keep some secrets for later. But now, she wants to know them too. 

They were on the verge of losing each other and Anna can't help but become greedy to know more about him.

This act of hers might look very selfish but somehow, this was the only option left with her. Anna disclosed everything about herself. Each and everything. But that day, what her mother said, something that touched her heart.

Alex had a guilty expression on his face, not even staring at Anna's face. He can't face her with his ugly truth, and he knows very well that if that comes out, they are going to be separated forever.

"Anna, please don't bring irrelevant things in between us. It's not the right time to discuss those things." Alex tried to divert the topic from what she wanted to ask.

"I know it very well Alex. But I think you don't plan to stay with me. I'm simply asking you to tell me what are you hiding from me for so long? Is that so difficult?" Anna felt her heart was breaking when she saw how he was acting.

Never in her life, could she have imagined that Alex, whom he loved too much, will hide something from her.

"An… Do you want to be with Chris?! Why?! You are also having any motive which you are hiding. Tell me about it first, if you are so interested to know about what I have to hide." Alex asked her again.

He was not ready to tell her, but at the same time, just like her, he wants to know what she is planning to do with Chris! Why did she agree to his demand for getting engaged?! 

But Anna zipped up her mouth. She had a reason to agree to Chris's request, but can she tell him about it? Anna highly doubts it.

It was something between her grandparents and her, for her brother Seb. He has no idea what she wants, but Anna is ready to reveal everything.

But Anna faced Alex once again with her straight face, and a fire inside her eyes, which made Alex gulp.

"Alex, you know that very well that I hate your brother from the bottom of my heart. He had done many things to me, hurt me in many ways and I would rather describe him as a monster!

But till now, I never killed him because I had my reasons. I was unfit to kill him and had no perfect opportunity to do so. Till now, I have no idea who killed my brother but very close to finding out.

It's a simple engagement, but in the end, I will get to know who was behind my brother's life. I want to kill that bastard with my b.a.r.e hands, and along with him, Chris has to die too. 

But, this engagement is important to happen." 

Anna knew it perfectly that she might not be able to explain it to him in a proper manner, but she had that much trust in him that he would be able to comprehend.

Alex took a deep breath. Taking her hands into his, he stared deep into her eyes, trying to see through her soul at once.

He had no words to understand her feelings. Somewhere, he wants to support her in her revenge but on the other side, he is afraid that his secret might come out and he can't afford to let it come.

"Anna, you do know I love you?" Alex asked her, without shifting his gaze from hers.

To his reply, Anan vigorously nodded her head in response. She knew it very well that his love for her runs deep into his veins.

"Because of my love, I can't see someone else mark you as theirs. I want you fully or myself. Chris is someone, I can never trust you with him. At last, his motive is simply to kill me and have you and business!"

"I know that Alex. But why are you not trying to understand my situation? I'm stuck somewhere, from which I have to find my brother's killer!"

"Is your brother, who is already dead, more important to you more than your present life and happiness?" Alex threw a tough question at her.

Anna stepped back and took her hands back.

His questions were making her heartbeat too loudly. Maybe because she knew, he twisted the question to ask, if her brother was more important than him or not?!

For Sierra or Anna, Seb was someone who can't be replaced, no matter what. The guilt inside her will always be there that her brother died because of her silly mistakes. 

Closing her hands, Anna was almost on the verge of crying. Her head was a mess as she thought of answering this question because she could feel the tension between them was rising.

Clenching her hands into a fist, she asked Alex directly, "What exactly do you want me to do?!"

"Decline Chris's request. If you want to kill him, go ahead but don't get engaged to him, Anna. Please, I beg you. We have come till this time, we can go ahead too together." Alex put forward his wish in front of her.

This was making it more and more difficult for Anna to think about. Her detective told her that after she gets engaged to Chris, it would lead to more closer to her brother's killer.

But on the other end, is her lover Alex. She wants to avenge her brother and ex-lover.

How!!?! One is bound to get hurt in the end, and Anna has to decide it at this point only.

Winds started getting stronger, as the night was going to come now. It Was going to be dark, but Alex was simply looking forward to what Anna had to say.

Sweat was almost blinding him blind but only he was aware of how nervous he was at that point. One of his hearts was simply asking him to go from here and stop his fight because it won't result in anything to them, but today, it was a say or bye situation for them.

Tears started coming out of her eyes as she opened her mouth with her eyes ill closed, "Alex, I do love you a lot but not more than my brother. He was my everything in this and died by protecting me.

I'm sorry, but I have to get engaged to Chris on the date. You can have someone else in your life. Because, high school relationsh.i.p.s don't work till the end, I think we are in the same situation.``

By the time Anna completes her sentence, she can hear her own heartbreaking. She was simply asking Alex to move on from her and this was the most difficult thing one can ever do!

On the other hand, for the very first time, Alex, who thinks that crying isn't made for a boy or man, was having tears in his eyes. Not because Anna chose to keep her brother close to herself and choose him, but because she was going to get engaged to his worst enemy, that is none other than his own brother!!

"Anna…. Till the time, you and Chris don't exchange the rings in the hall, on that fixed date. I will keep waiting for you. Even if you call me one moment before your engagement, I will come to you like a mad man.

But, even if you get engaged, I will simply wait for you to break your engagement and come back to me like before." 

"W...Why Alex! Why! Just go and get engaged to EMMA! Or just simply find any other girl! There isn't any less girl in the world." Anna asked in between her sobs.

"Because I love You, Anna. I always did and will do till my last breath." These were Alex's last words as he walked backward, keeping his eyes on Anna whose eyes were closed.

Turning around, he walked towards his car while wiping his tears and left her all alone on the hill, making Anna collapse on her knees at last, with her crying voice ranging in all the hilltop.

'I..I'm sorry Alex! I'm really sorry… I... I can't.."
