Chapter 24: Chapter 24

**Nancy's POV**

"What did you say?" My ears can't believe what he said just now. My blood pressure suddenly gets low when I hear that.

"Marry me," he says one more time and I get up quickly from my seat.

This isn't supposed to happen. I know that I am pretending on someone's behalf and I know that someone would someday come to me to claim his man but even after that it is so selfish of me that I am being happy with him.

I am loving every moments with him.

I can't actually love him back now. I can't get married with him.

How can I? He has someone reserved for him and I am waiting for someone in my life too.

"Xander, I am not suppose to do this. I... I am really sorry," I say and try to look at another side but he turns me to his direction and places both his hands on my face.

"Don't say that. I really can't imagine my life without you now. You have become my drug, my pills and my potions to the well being. I can't give you up now, my love," he says and his eyes completely depict that he is completely genuine with what he is saying.

But even after that I can't accept this fact. He is genuine on this fact and this is what hurting me more.

Someone else is supposed to be here, not me.

Suddenly, I start tearing down.

"I can't Xander. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for not being able to tell you sooner. But I am not the one meant for you. I am so sorry for deceiving you," I say as I feel now this is the end if this whole drama and I can't cope up with this now.

"What so you mean by deceiving? Listen, for me you're the one and there is no one else. You and only you are the only one for me," he says and holds my hands not letting me go.

"Leave my hands, Xander. I really want to go," I try to get my hands out of his wrist but he is strong even in his sick conditions.

"I am not Selena," I shout suddenly in the middle of it with all tears on my face.

I can't tell how much I am regretting right now, telling that I am not Selena. From the beginning, I knew this should have never happened.

I should never have done this. This is going to make everything complicated now, everything worse now.

"I am just replacement of her. This all things were never supposed to happen. I don't know why you thought that I am Selena but I am not her.I am just your caretaker for some time being and nothing else," I say and turn to him.

I think this all should end now.

Getting a false hope is worse than getting on reality.

He gently tries to stand up and tower gently in front of me holding the pillar of the swing.

He lifts his hands towards me and place his both hands on my shoulders and leans in to kiss me.

"This isn't right. This isn't right anymore," I tear down and steer my head in another direction.

"Everything is right, my love. Now everything is right. Even if it isn't, I will make everything right by hook or by crook," he says as he press his lips against me and pulls me by my waist.

This time, his kiss isn't gentle. Its domineering. Its dominating my lips while I can't stop thinking about Selena at this time.

Knowing that I am not reacting on it, he pulls himself back.

"I love you, I love you so much," he pulls me in his embrace.

"You shouldn't. I told you I am not Selena," I repeat one more time.

" I love you as you are. I don't need you to be Selena. I love you as you are Nancy Williams," he says and my eyes suddenly get widened.

Did he just say Nancy Williams? Or did I just hear wrong?

"Did you say Nancy Williams? How did you know my name?" I ask him?

He grins looking at me sheepishly.

"Its been you. It has always been you, from the beginning Miss Nancy Williams," he says and I get astonished to hell.

This man was tricking me all this time. He was trying to make me fool all this time?
