Chapter 383 - Drowning in my own guilt...

Andrew starred at her for few seconds and stated, "She decided to take revenge on Lucy by the most meanest way. She mixed aphrodisiac in Henry's juice…."

A gasp left out from Veronica and Willa's mouth whereas Henry's eyes glinted with anger.

Amy felt that there was not much time for her to stay happy anymore and she bowed her head in guilt.

"Aphrodisiac?" Mrs. Jones asked in disbelief that her daughter could really do something like that.

Andrew nodded and then said, "Yes.. It was a party night of us. We were all busy in dancing and playing games when Amelia took the chance to add the drug in Henry's drink.

She then gave the spiked drink to Henry which he drank without thinking too much. Later, she took him to one of the rooms so that she could seduce him and have her way with Henry to let Lucinda out of his life.

But her plan got failed when Lucinda took me to the room to search for Henry as he was missing from some time already. And the scene I saw there, made my eyes bulged out in rage.

Amy was sitting on Henry's lap, trying to kiss him but he was just in daze. I stormed in the room and pulled her out of Henry's lap. Amy got scared seeing me and she tried to find excuses to save herself from me.

And then she came out with a wicked plan. She told me that it was Henry who had brought her there and tried to force on her which I easily believed being a protective brother as I thought that my sister could never tell a lie about this kind of matter which includes her self-respect."

As Andrew revealed this, everyone's mouth opened wide in shock. Whereas Henry was completely traumatized with the information.

"That clarifies why I was feeling a huge headache the morning after that party. It was paining me so hell that I thought someone was hammering me on my head. Because of the strong drug, I wasn't even able to remember anything about past night!" Henry said in exasperation as he remembered that day.

He was beyond angry right now but he chose to stay quiet because wanted to know the full story first before taking any further action.

"What happened then?" Henry asked without showing too much emotions in it.

Lucinda tightened her hold in Henry's hand which reciprocated with a small squeeze on her palms.

Sighing deeply, Andrew stated, "As I told you that, I completely believed my sister and my fury increased on you.

But Amy didn't stop there, she said more than I expected. She told me that it was Reuben and Neil's bet for Henry to made Amy fall in Henry's trap. This took the last bit of rationality from me and bolted angrily towards Henry.

Before I could punch Henry back and blue, Lucinda stopped me by holding my hand and tried to reason with me that my friends could never do that to a girl.

But I being an idiot, he pushed her and stormed towards Henry again.

When Lucinda finally said something which prohibited me from hitting him. She demanded two days from me to prove that Henry, Neil and Reuben were innocent. I gave her the chance and left with Amy.

But in these two days, I insulted my three brothers with my venom filled words in front of anyone. They were utterly confused about my behavior but still didn't shout back on me as they loved me too much.

I did everything to make their lives hell in that two days but I didn't know that it'd turn to be my biggest mistake for which I will continue regretting for my whole life."

Andrew was now again in tears along with Lucinda. Reuben and Henry couldn't believe their ears that their brother could think of them being so low that they would play with a girl's dignity just because of a stupid bet.

Truthfully, they were very hurt!

Their elder brother whom they had loved and respected so much, had misjudged them on such a harsh matter!

Andrew noticed the gloomy faces of their brothers but didn't try to justified himself.

He just took a deep breath and continued, "After two days, Lucy came with the CCTV footage where I could clearly see that it was Amy who had spiked the drink. I was utterly shocked with this. I couldn't believe my eyes that the sister whom I had trusted over my friends, would betray me like this..

Pain and regret was eating me alive and I became completely numb that time. I had no idea how to repent on my actions. So I decided one thing which I was able to think that time. I was decided to leave the country and stay far away from you guys as I didn't have the bravery to face you guys again.

But before leaving, I went to meet Amy and fit for the first time in my life, I had slapped someone. After bashing and scolding her over again, I left for the airport without anyone's notice and left the country forever.

I was in country X for few years then I shifted to country Z. There I met Lisa and about rest you guys already know. But trust me, I had always kept a track on you guys to see how you guys were doing. Not a day had passed without remembering you all. But I prohibited myself to come face to face with you as I was drowning in my own guilt.

However, when I came to know about Amy coming back to country K after years which was specifically after the news of Henry and Lucy's engagement, I had a hunch that she had some dirty plans in her mind to ruin the peace between them...

So to save their relationship from Amy's evil clutch, I came back to city S and now I'm clarifying about the most unbelievable truth of my life to you all.."
