Seducing the President's Son Ch. 03

"Is what he said true? That you were pretending to be gay so that you could get me to join this... this cult?"

I sighed. I used my thumb to wipe a tear out of the corner of your eye. It was time, finally. Time for you to know everything.

"I need to tell you the truth," I said. "From the beginning."

So, this is it. This is everything, Zach. This isn't how I wanted to tell it to you, or where I thought we'd be.

I need you to understand that I thought that I was doing the right thing. I didn't intend to fall in love with you. And when I did...

I wanted to find a way for us to be together. But I was a coward, and I was ashamed to tell you the truth because... because I was afraid that you would hate me. And I would rather die than have you hate me.

I understand if you can't love me after what I've done. But please, please know that I love you with all my heart. I love you more than I ever thought I could love another human being. Despite my lies, despite my betrayal, I love you so fucking much.

Please tell me you understand that.

Please.
