But It Was Not Your Fault But Mine Novels & Stories

She apologized. “It's not your fault. It never was.” I assured. It was never her fault. I could have said no when she made that suggestion, but I said yes. So it was not her fault. But mine.

And it’s all my fault. I may as well be dead too.

He said. “You all don’t have to feel guilty for nothing. It wasn’t your fault that things were that way. If I were in your shoes, maybe I would have believed whatever it is that I was told and saw in the surface. I do not blame you for whatever opinion you had about me.” I said.

"I seriously don't know, I mean the case could have been different if I hadn't come back right?" There was a long pause over the phone and the silence was already annoying. "Gina?" I questioned in a low tone. "Are you still there?" She sighed heavily. "You know it's not your fault man. I mean, no one knew that something like that would happen." "I know you are trying to assure me that it's all right and maybe it's my fault and maybe it's also not my fault," I rubbed my forehead lightly. "That's not what I'm saying you…" she paused and waited carefully to use the right words. "I mean, there was nothing you could have done."

“Nobody has enough as it is, and he was giving more than he could to the two of you.” I stared into the flames. For a moment, I wished they would set me alight. It would hurt less than this. Sucking in a slow, wet breath, I turned to look at Caleb. He stared back helplessly. “I’m sorry,” he said, and then, “It’s not your fault.” My brows drew together sharply. How dare he? To even say it wasn’t my fault was to insinuate that it could be construed as such. “I know it isn’t. It’s yours.”

“It wasn’t your fault. You couldn’t have predicted what was going to happen to me. I’m safe now. Your dad found me and I couldn’t be any happier.” He shook his head vigorously “No….it was my fault. I should have been with you to protect you instead of following Sabrina to her home.” I hugged him even tighter “Again, it was no one’s fault. So, would you please stop blaming yourself? it was also partly my mistake. Let’s forget all about this “ I suggested as Roman glanced in to my eyes and confessed “ If anything would have happened to you , I wouldn’t have been able to bear it .”

My voice was steady, yet the weight of everything unsaid lingered between us. “It’s not your fault,” I continued, pulling back slightly to meet her tear-streaked face. “None of this is your fault. I’m the one being punished for a choice I never even had the chance to make. You reacted the way you did because you thought I was taking advantage of someone you love, someone you hold so dear.” I let out a weak chuckle, attempting to lighten the mood. “But even I didn’t know what was happening to me back then.”

“But...” “No. Listen to me,” I cupped his face again, refusing to let him retreat into that familiar place of self-blame. “This was Aiden’s fault not yours. You gave me a job and damn it you gave it to Marcus too, whatever we do with the opportunity is our fault not yours, you can't blame yourself for the evil deeds of others.” After everything I said ,he still didn’t look convinced. I sighed. “This is why you’re impossible.” “I’m not impossible.”

I stood up and went towards him, turning him around. "It wasn't your fault. It has never been." I said for the hundredth time. "That doesn't change the fact. It's my fault." He said with a sarcastic smile.

I halted this time, and my eyes shot daggers. But he did not avoid it, he fronted me. It seemed that he had mastered the art of expressions for he appeared to be genuine, “I am saying it was no one’s fault. Not yours nor mine, it was just an accident.” All of this was his fault, so I would not breath another word from him.
