ALEX"I don't know I don't know why he would lie about something like this. I am just worried you know....he covered up what his sister did to me and then he even got Clinton to lie. I questioned Clinton myself when I went back and he told me that he was the one who planned it all and that no one was behind him. They really put on a good show in front of me, that day!" Tiana told me. I frowned. She did not tell me that this had happened. Why did she go do that when she knew that they were just going to lie about it, anyway? "Why did you do that? You should have known that they were just going to lie to you, anyway. They wouldn't tell you the truth!" I said. She nodded her head. "I know that. I just wanted to confirm. Clinton...he....I don't think that he would still be alive now. Mason must have killed him," Tiana reasoned. Of course, Clinton was no longer alive. Since Mason got him to lie about who asked him to go after Tiana, he won't keep him alive because his presence would
ALEXI was standing at the back of the house, just staring into space. It was late evening and everywhere was already dark. I was thinking about what I could to do to stop Tiana from having to marry Mason. I could not go talk to Ceaser. The time that I had spent here had shown me that he's not a good man at all. He doesn't even care about the life of his daughter. If he refused to listen to her pleas then why would he listen to me? He definitely would not. Besides, if I went to talk to him and told him that his daughter shouldn't become Mason's Luna, he would get suspicious. If he started to suspect that his daughter had something going on with me, it would be trouble for Tiana. It was just like she said, if people found out about us, nothing was going to happen to me. She would be the one who needed to deal with the consequences of it all..I thought about Mason...it was useless to tell him to leave Tiana alone. He definitely had a reason for wanting to make her his Luna. I did
TIANAI could not stop thinking about what Alex had said. He said that he would save me. He would stop the marriage. But how exactly would he do that? Would he really be hurting someone? He said that even if he would hurt someone , they would not be innocent people , rather people who wanted to harm me. So who could it be, Mason? Melanie? Helen?. Or even my father? Although I did not like these people very much and I really hated Melanie and wanted the worst things to happen to her, I did not want anyone else to be hurt in trying to get me out of the marriage. If there was a way that I could avoid getting married without anyone getting hurt then I would gladly take it. But I had to be realistic. Was there really away for that to happen?.Just then, my door was pushed open and Gemma walked in. I smiled when I saw her. "Hey, Gemma, you are here," I said in a friendly manner She did not say anything and she just nodded her head. She seemed to be in a bad mood. "Yeah...what are yo
TIANAI stared at my best friend in shock. What did she mean by that? How could she say that she wished that I would be raped? I had been nothing but a good friend to her. I thought that she felt the same way towards me but it seemed that I was wrong. "What ...what do you mean!" Even if she hated me, there had to be an explanation for this right? She has been good to me before...what happened that made her change so suddenly? Gemma scoffed at me. "You can sit there and pretend like you don't know what I am talking about but you're so shameless! I thought that you were my friend but you never considered me a friend before I was so stupid to think that you are the same person that you were when you left!! You have become more calculating since then!" Gemma accused me. "You're just accusing me of things that do not make sense at all. I have changed? I think that you are the one who has changed. How could you want me to be raped by someone? I just don't get it! My life was in danger in
TIANAI was shaking now because I knew that she was telling the truth. If my father found out what I had been doing with Alex, he would kill me! Even if he did not want to kill me, then his wife, Helen would certainly add pressure on him and make sure that my life is ruined. I would be the one who would take the blame for everything. "Please....please Gemma....on the account that we have been friends for so many years ...can you please not do this to me? I know that what I did was wrong and I am really sorry for what happened but please....don't do this to me please. Just let me off this once!" I begged her with tears in my eyes. My life would really be over if other people find out about this. "Ha! You're really begging me now? Why didn't you think about the consequences of your actions before you did then? I told you that I liked Alex and that I wanted to go after him but I was sure that you were just laughing at me in your heart knowing what you are doing. You are bringing up t
TIANA"Why didn't you think about the fact that we were friends before you did what you did?" Gemma sounded really angry. But there was also something else on her face. It seemed that she had been looking for an opportunity to deal with me before all of this. It was as if she was never my friend in the first place and she jumped at the first opportunity that she had. All of the thought that we were friends....it seemed that it was just in my head. "I think....I think that you don't think of me as a friend too. Not even right now. Before this...you've never thought of me as a friend. I know that I have done something wrong. And I acknowledge it. But I know that I never did it to hurt you. Alex and I met before I came back. A lot of things happened and I knew that I should have put an end to whatever was going on between us but I did not. Anyway....you on the other hand, you jumped on the first opportunity that you had to blackmail me. Clearly, you've been waiting for am opportunit
TIANA"And I said that I don't care about how you're planning on doing it. I am sure that you are a very smart person. So I am sure that you will be able to think of something. You've always been able to do that anyway. So instead of crying to me here, why don't you go think of how you are going to help me?" Gemma was really not letting me off at all. She turned and started to walk out of my bedroom. Then she stopped and turned to look at me. "Also , don't even think about telling him anything that happened here. You know if you tell him that I am blackmailing you, I will find out. And then I will come for you. I won't forgive you at all. I am not joking. I really don't think that he will protect you. I am sure you don't want to find out if I am wrong or not,"Why didn't you think about the fact that we were friends before you did what you did?" Gemma did not need to tell me twice. I knew for sure that I did not want to find out at all. I had an answer in my heart and I did not wan
TIANA"Are you trying to set me up with your friend, Tiana?" Alex asked me coldly..I knew that he was angry now and that I should not push him any further. I shook my head immediately. "No ...that was not what I was trying to do. She just wanted to thank you and I thought that it was a good idea," I lied. "Well, I don't want to go out with her. I did not do it for her so why does she have to be the one to thank me? What other ulterior motives does she have?" Alex looked straight at Gemma as he asked this. I could see that her face was burning up in embarrassment I had no idea what to do about this. I did try to help her as she requested. It was not my fault if Alex did not want to sit with her right? "I really don't have any other motives. I just wanted to thank you for what you did for my friend but it's fine if you don't want that. I am sorry," Gemma had a smile on her face as she said this. She was really good at holding things, I could see that now. "Well, I'll be leaving n
