“I can tell that you idolize Jen Davis,” My therapist has the nerves to say to me. I scoff and laugh in response.“Idolize? That’s a reach even for you, is it not?” I fire at her.“I don’t idolize her nor did I before? But I did like how determined and driven she was,” I confess and my therapist smiles.“I see,” She replies.“So you kidnapped her baby and requested a ransom for her to get him back,” Her tone is normal as if we are not talking about something that could most probaly land me in prison.“Yes, that is exactly what I did,” I say nonchalantly.“But something bothers you, does it not? You are not your usual cheery self,” She says and that I can agree with. It is about Chad, the fact that I almost lost him. His heart literally stopped beating, if I had not called 911, he would have been gone.“So you have your one billion back?” My therapist asks me and I give her a weak smile. I thought getting the money and even more would have made me feel great, but I feel empty. “Yes,
I love Cara, and I know she is jealous, so I try my best not to give her reason to be. This is my first time dating a girl, and to be honest, I never knew I was attracted to girls until I met her. It felt strange, but it also felt good.Our relationship has been smooth and lovely, until now. I know she did not mistakenly activate the bombs, she knew exactly what she was doing. “I confronted her about it and she was adamant that it was a mistake, which is what is really pissing me off,” I explain to the therapist and she listens keenly, giving me the time to express how I feel.“Why don’t you believe her?” She asks me and I scoff lightly.“I would have, except that to activate those bombs, you literally have to type in an eight-digit code. How does one mistakenly type in those eight-digit codes? She is damn well lying!” I say, the tone of voice rising.“Well, you do have a point, but why do you think she did that?” My therapist inquires and I laugh lowly. That is an easy question to a
An alarm goes off on my phone, letting me know that my session for today is finally over. The therapist gives me a look, silently asking me if we should continue regardless, but I wag my head slowly as to disagree. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to continue the session but I just feel like I have done so much in one session than I have ever done since I have been therapized by this lady. “Today was groundbreaking,” She stands to her feet and says, confirming my thoughts. “Let’s have more sessions like this,” She suggests as she packs her things in her fancy handbag, it looks really luxurious and expensive. “Yup,” I agree with her and she gets ready to leave and I do so. As I can recall, she mentioned that she has a date this evening, one with her husband. It’s their wedding anniversary, I never really asked her much about it, maybe I should. “Hey,” I call for her attention as I walk past her and towards the door. “Yeah?” She responds to me as she places her handbag on her shoul
Why is Chad calling me? Did he intend to call someone else and called me instead? But I doubt that, thhis is a new number of mine and he could have only gotten it by using his hacking skills. “Chad?” I speak into the phone when I reach the other side of the street. I continue to walk with the aim of heading to the subway and taking a train. “Gosh, you sound so different,” He says and then chuckles. It has been a while since I have heard him laugh, and hearing him now feels oddly nostalgic. I want to ask him why he is calling, but I also don’t want the call to end just yet. “Well, time changes a lot of things,” I reply to him and I hear him sigh. I heard he was dating a girl but it is not that serious. “I just wanted to thank you, you saved my life,” He says and confusion crosses my face. I am now walking into the subway, New York transport system is one of the best things about this city. It is so convenient. “I am the one who put you and the others in danger in the first place,”
Jen Davis is one of the most feared assassins in the world, or at least she used to be. The moment we lock eyes, I know I can not just pretend that I don’t see her or her gang. They are all staring at me, including Chad who was on the phone with me a couple of minutes ago.I place my boarding pass in my purse and I flip my hair as I walk toward them. I normally don’t suffer from anxiety attacks, I rarely have them, but I can feel the anxiety filling up my entire body with each step.When I have finally neared them, I sit a couple of seats away from them. Jen is the first to wake up from her seat and approach me. I watch her as she walks toward me, her hair looks shorter than the last time I saw her. It kind of looks good on her.“What are you doing here?” She asks me when she is literally standing in front of me.“You’re not that dumb, what do people do at airports?” I say in a snarky tone and I can see that it affects her, for she is clenching her jaw.“Don’t you play with me, Naomi.
***Jen’s POV***I don’t get it, I simply do not. Naomi actually had the guts to show up here after she has caused so much havoc in my life and the lives of the people I love. And what annoys me is the fact that Chad and Robert were talking to her like they have all been old-time friends.“What was that?” I ask Chad as I sway Jake from side to side gently. He has grown and now has a stronger grasp on things. He has also become very verbal, but not with words but sounds. “What do you mean?” Chad replies to me with a question instead of answering the one that I asked him.When he closes the small distance between us. He sits down in the seat right next to me but on the right. Robert is sitting on the left and he is playing games on his phone. I gave him a piece of my mind half an hour ago about why he stayed to talk to the same person who is the reason we are broke out of our pockets and had to take a loan to just survive.“You and Robert entertaining a conversation with Naomi,” I tell
Mad? Can I say that I am actually mad at Robert, Chad, James, and Carlos? I don’t think that I am, to be honest, I am just very relieved. I don’t like being left in the dark, so I am glad that they have let me understand a bit of the tragedy that almost had me go insane.A small voice keeps talking in the back of my mind. It keeps asking me what if Chad and the others would have died in the explosion? What if I did not get to see them again? I would have literally gone mental. “Jen, I think he’s hungry,” Robert’s voice startles me from my thoughts. We are still on the airplane and it is night. All the lights are dimmed and a blue light illuminates the cabin. It must be really late because almost everyone is sleeping, there are only a few people on their devices that are awake.Robert is right, Jake is awake and he is crying. Not loudly, but in a low tone. I instantly sway him softly from side to side as I reach for a packet of baby food that is made from fruits. I unscrew the small t
Robert has to be kidding me, we were literally broke and we are only able to be here right because of a loan we were graciously given by the bank he banks with.“What do you mean by bought?” I ask Robert and he looks nervous.“I think that is our cue to get leave,” Chad says as he walks closer to Chad and takes a sleeping Jake from his hands. Robert allows Chad to carry Jake away as they leave with James and Carlos. I bet they are going to explore this extravagant house that was bought with loaned money.“I bought it,” Robert says after he clears his throat. I nod slowly as I thin my lips.“How much did the bank give you?” I ask him and he makes a clicking sound by clicking his tongue on his teeth. I never really got around to asking him, he only told me that the loan was approved and I celebrated with him. I want to know how much he got that he is buying a place as big as this.“Why do you want to know?” He fires back a question as he puts his hands in his pocket. The shorts he is we
