Tessa closed her eyes, as soon as her face came in front of her, there was no trace of Mandy on her face. "It disgusts you right?" Tessa shook her head and then hugged her as soon as she heard her say that, one side of her face was badly damaged and the other was like surgery was carried out on her but not probably, leaving her with a completely disfigured face and a strange one from Mandy. "I didn't say so." Tessa manages to say as soon as she pulls from the hug. "Then what?' "Your voice! That voice is like a friend and sister of mine." "Where is she?" "Graveyard, Edward's cemetery." "Mandy!" She called, Tessa looked at her, she got curious and took her hand. "You are Mandy?" She withdrew from her and then shook her head, all of a sudden tears started swimming from her eyes, and Tessa looked at her confused. "Did I say something wrong?" "Her dad saved me, Pa Edward, he was thinking I am his daughter, he kept calling me Mandy, but I swear, I don't know him, I don't know anyon
As soon as Lauren gets to meet with Larry at the airport, he stares at him, before the stone can tell him, he brings out his phone to check for Larry's picture. He takes his step faster towards Larry, Larry doesn't want to approach him first. He thought maybe, Lauren would recognize him but no way. "Let's go!" "Larry looks at Stone then Lauren, as they enter the plane." "What are you ogling at?" Lauren asked in frustration. "How come, I feel you did something you are not supposed to do." "I didn't do anything." He closed his eyes, Larry already knew that he had kissed the girl in his Villa. "Larry doesn't want to push further." "Who did you leave the girl with?" "Oh! I think a girl that we met at the mall." "What? Lauren...""Don't nag me, she is not a bad person," Stone smirked, Larry looked at Stone, he didn't say anything about Lauren bringing another girl to care for her. Stone just bowed, seeing how Larry was behaving, just maybe, he could stop being grumpy if he met his o
"Tessa!" "Tessa!" She called as she hopped into the living room, only to see a teddy bear on the couch, a white one, she hurried to it, Lauren was resting his head on the door, he watched her as she grabbed it, she pressed a kiss on it, she is excited about it. That was the same thing, his hazy memory pictured a girl doing to a teddy, his smile widened for unknown reason. "Do you like it?" She froze, she didn't know, he was back, she dragged the band from her hair making her hair fall to cover her face, Lauren sighed inwardly, he just wanted to see her face but he was not going to force her to show him, if she is not ready. "I love it, did you get it for me?" She turned to face him, Lauren was satisfied with her answer, even though he didn't see her face. "Sure! I thought I could get something for you but I don't know what you like, so I just pick this." "I like it." She hugged it tight, she hopped towards Lauren, the next thing, she did was climb on the couch and drag his face to
"So you want to leave without seeing me?" "You should answer that yourself, I have been here for ages, sitting like some jobless man waiting for a job interview but you were inside doing what only God knows." "Lauren, I was sleeping." Larry stared at Amelia, she had just taken the wrong word. "What did you just say?" Lauren asked with anger and much hostility in his voice. "Lauren, let it pass...""Larry stay out of this, you were sleeping while I was waiting at your worthless couch?" "Lauren, you are...""Amelia, the least you could do was to tell me, you don't want to see me." "Yes, I don't want to see you, so go home." Lauren closed his eyes when he opened them, it's all red with anger and pain, "Amelia right?" Larry didn't see the reason for that. "Yes, so?" "My instinct is right, they are never wrong, I may have forgotten the face of the one girl, I risk my life for but I don't think, I will not feel anything for her, even if I am sick, I will have the urge to touch her,
"No, I didn't break up with you because of the accident, it's...""No you did, you stop loving me, you stop caring about me after the incident, you don't even want to come close to me...'"I am not doing it because of that, it's not just...""Don't say that, if you say it again, I am going to kill myself." Amelia keeps faking tears, like she is really in pain, as soon as Lauren breaks up with her, she calls Bennett and laments, so she advises her to fake suicide, that Lauren will surely come. I am sorry, I don't even understand myself, ever since the accident, I keep behaving strangely, I don't even know what I am doing. "Amelia it's fine...""No, it's not fine, you don't like me anymore because of the accident.""No, how could you say that?" She smiled inwardly. She hugged him, Lauren wanted to push her away but he just decided to let her, he felt guilty, there were no feelings there, he felt nothing, it's different when he hugged the girl in his Villa. "Amelia, that is enough, you
Stone returns with the ingredients she needs to prepare the food, instead of getting a chef, Tessa is the one making the meal. Lauren had been on the phone for hours, with so many business to attend to, Larry didn't call him, he just felt that Larry might be sad, so he let the man be. "Where is Stone?" He said mentally as he walked towards the kitchen, he could hear a faint sound, getting to the door, there goes Tessa cooking, she was dancing to some funny music, his head began to pound, and he held it in space, he just wanted it to stop."Master! Are you alright?" The voice came from behind, and he nodded slightly, as much as the girl in his Villa was hiding things from him, he too was hiding his problem from her. "Are you sure?" "Yes! I am perfect very fine." Lauren said calmly, Tessa turned and looked at them."Hungry already?" Her voice came from the kitchen. "Why are you the one cooking?" "It's nothing, I might have used for the added pay." "Okay!" "Wait let me help?" Her
"Go on and look at it." John opened his eyes slowly, Lauren was looking at him, and his gaze didn't leave him, John gasped for air as soon as he saw the picture on the phone. "Tessa!" "You know her?" "Of course, she is Sir Larry's best friend, who later became his girlfriend.""Interesting!" John looks at him. "So?" "Oh! The two break up, sir Larry said, she is cheating on him with Sir Kendrick." "Kendrick?" Lauren closed his eyes, he had heard that name before. "Yes, sir Kendrick, is your cousin, he is a very close family member." "My brother!" He took that part like a whisper, John couldn't make out, what he said about him. "And?" "Tessa couldn't take it, so she left, leaving sir Larry not just to worry about you but also Tessa, he is sad, he just used you as a cover-up for his grief." "Okay!" "Is there anything else you want to know, Sir?" "Which means, Larry was neglecting her because of my condition?""No sir! Don't blame yourself for it, everyone was worried about you
It's the weekend already, and she keeps messaging Tessa but none of her calls were taken by her, she sighed and threw the phone away. "Hey, calm down, it's too early to be paranoid." "My guests, I told them to be here by 4 pm, it's past 7 already, and she is not here, I wish I knew how to cook, do you know how to cook?" Lauren scratches his head and then shakes it. "Oh no! Why don't you know how to cook?" Lauren stared at her as she paced in the room. "Okay, let's do it this way, I asked Stone to call for a chef...""No way, I like Tessa's food, it's delicious, you like it too right?" He nodded. "I am sure, sir Larry will like it too." "Hm! Why do I feel that you want Larry to meet Tessa." She hurried to get down from the bed, Lauren was faster than her, and he was right in front of her. "Are you trying to make my brother fall for her?" "She is beautiful, is not bad if, your brother marries her or does he have a girlfriend like you?" "I don't have a girlfriend?" He said so fast
