Venetta

8 years later

“Mommy, is Tommy going to come out soon?” Elena, one of my seven years old triplets asked as she added more milk into her cereal on the dinning table.

“He promised to take us to the park today if we didn’t tell you.” Caroline rushed from the kitchen counter to the dinning table and tugged herself into a chair next to me.

“And you also promised you’d take a few days off to spend time with us.” Damon, the only boy between the two girls added, I had finished putting their daily milk into cups and rolled it to all of them, I took in a deep breath and finally faced them, their little eyes were on me, full of expectations.

“I would come with Tommy to the park with you.” I responded and they are did different gestures to rejoice,

“They spilled the secret already, i see…” A male figure walked in from the kitchen to the dining as he bent towards me and pecked my checks,

“Tommy!” The tipplets screamed all at once and waved at him.

“Good morning, Sunshine.” My boyfriend, Tommy, smiled at me before settling down in his seat, he slept over because it was our anniversary today.

“Happy six years anniversary to us.” I turned towards him, unable to hide my happiness and joy.

My kids kept giggling and joking with one another then Tommy joined their conversations making it more lively. I came to New Seattle eight years ago with a pregnancy I didn’t know I had, three babies inside me, they all belong to my best friend who hurt me and who I tried so hard to forget, i healed, I moved on and now, I got a boyfriend that would choose me, every single time.

“Look, It’s mommy on the television!” Damon pointed to the big glass screen on the wall of the dinning table.

I smiled as they all turned to it, I had an interview with the biggest press company, being a very popular and professional doctor, the best actually, it’s been hectic trying to get the press off my back.

I am madly successful, I own the biggest hospital in Seattle and my children to to the most expensive school here too, every thing is perfect.

“Do you still think of him?” Tommy whispered, making sure the kids were distracted. “Their father.”

“Never, I’ve got you now and that’s all that matters to me.” I smiled at him and he held my chin and placed a soft kiss on my forehead

“Time to go to the park…” Tommy screamed and they are rejoiced, jumping out of their chairs to go change into an outing outfit.

**

The park was empty, I booked it down for this event, being popular had lots of disadvantages and I wanted my kids to have fun without the stress of hiding from the press.

My phone rang and I picked it up instantly, “I told you already, Felicia, today is the one day I get off work to spend time with my kids, postponed every other thing till tomorrow.” I placed my hand tiredly on my forehead.

“I know ma’am, but this sounds urgent, it was a text you received and I don’t know… it sounds…” I looked over at the children and although Tommy was keeping them occupied, he flashed an unpleased expression towards me. “It sounds important.”

I clenched my fists and released it once I calmed myself. “Fine, forward the text to my main line, I’ll handle it.”

I ended the call and rushed towards my kids that were on the horse play thing, I was about to join them when a ping on my phone halted me, Felicia must have sent it. I opened the text and I felt my heart tighten around my chest. Tommy most have noticed because I could feel him next to me immediately.

{COME BACK TO THE PACK HOUSE, VEN.}

I didn’t know I was frozen until Tommy’s warm hands clasped mine. “Are you alright?”

“Y- yes” I closed the phone and put it in my back pocket, “let’s join the kids.” I gave him a soft kiss on his lips.

My hands were trembling but I was trying so hard to hide It, only one person called me VEN, and I only know of one pack house, he must be delusional if he thinks he’d just send a text after 8 years and I’d be back into his arms for nothing.

THREE DAYS LATER

“I’ll check out late, don’t stay up because of me.” I smiled over the phone to Tommy

I could feel him yawn from the other end of the phone. “I wanted to ask you something before but figured out you’d be too tired from the park.”

I looked up from my phone to my laptop as I typed in some words from the book register, “Maybe we can go on a date tomorrow so you’d tell me, I think I can take one more day off before my assistant finishes my phone with documents.” We both laughed and he took in a deep breath.

“Good night, Sunshine, do not stay up too late.” I nodded before ending the call, I still had documents at the office I needed to take care of before leaving. I was done in three hours, the company felt empty as I walked outside the building and into the parking lot, it was Ten in the night, I was used to working overtime already.

I jumpled with my key as I tried to open the car door but a shadow behind me stopped me and made me turn backwards, this is wrong, I tried to turn but I felt a hand on my neck and two hands grabbing my waist, pushing me up to the car, I was unable to move,

“Who are you?” I screamed as fear gripped my chest, i was powerless, I tried to scream but I couldn’t

“Hello, Ven.” A familiar voice and name instantly filled ny senses

“Louis…” my voice was breaking, anger, hurt and every other thing I could think of overwhelmed me.

Ablack cloth covered my head and mouth, leaving me completely helpless as I tried to scream and shout

Darkness took over me and I lost consciousness.
