I looked at the paper in my hands again, you know, just to know if I had read right. Transfer?? Why would they transfer me? I mean it's not yet time to be transferred.

I'd have to go resume there tomorrow. Oh god and it was not just any department, the boss' office was there. I would have to do my work strictly and make no mistakes.

There, I won't be able to get any help from Jake or Yvonne because it's a bit far from their offices.

My alarm suddenly went off startling me. 06:00 pm I kept the paper back in the envelope and placed it inside my bag.

I stood up and arranged my things before going over to the curtains to lock them.

I took my bag and walked out of the office, I'm going to miss it, I can't believe this would be the last time I'm going to be here.

"Hey, my car broke down. Can you give me a ride?" I heard Yvonne say, immediately after I got out of the office. "Sure," I replied with a sly smile.

"How was work today?" She asked as we walked towards my car.

    I sighed swirling around with my office chair. it's been a boring day, I must say. I haven't done any work because Mr Kings is not at work, and there was no paperwork for me. My office phone rang, I picked up the phone to answer it. "Yes-" the person cuts me off. "...file 245." He said and the call died. Rude. But when did he get there though? I could swear he wasn't in his office 10mins ago. I stood up and walked to the filing cabinet. After a minute of searching, I found it. I got out of my office to Mr King's office. He sat on his chair, his eyes solely on the paper before him. "Here's the file, sir." I gave it to him, and I turned around to go back to my office. My computer beeped, and I looked at it. Oh, thank god! At least, I've got something to do. ~ I looked at the time. Noon. I sighed. My door opened, revealing Yvonne, I beamed. "Oh thank god you came," I said and she giggled. She sat down in the chair opposite me. "Did you get his call?" She asked I raised an eyebr

    I sat down on my office chair and Yvonne sat on the chair opposite me. My heart was still beating fast, I stood up to go take a bottle of water before coming back to sit down. "Are you sure you're okay? You look..." "I am. Anyways, thanks for coming." I said smiling, and she returned the smile. Like that, we talked, exchanging stories and all. "Did you hear about the party Mr Kings is holding?" She asked. I didn't hear about it and even if I did I wasn't going to go. I know she would go. "No, I didn't," I replied. "Now that you heard, are you going to go?" "No, I'd rather stay at home, wait... Is it a day party or a night one?" "A night party and it's okay, I understand why you can't come so I won't pressure you." She said giving an understanding nod. "Thank you," I muttered. This is so unlike her though, being her normal self, she'd give me reasons to go. But I'm glad she understands this time. "No problem, so... How is your job here?" She asked. "It's okay, I haven't had much

    Oh my. I shouldn't have come to this party. There were so many eyes staring in our direction. I looked down unable to look at the people. I snapped my head up when I heard a clash of broken glass. The broken glass was next to Mr Kings, maybe he had mistakingly dropped it. His eyes were right at me, and I looked down again. "Let's go in." I heard Jake's voice, really close to my ear. I nodded and we walked in. He was going towards where Mr Kings was. Oh god, what's he going to do there? They are friends remember? I sighed walking along with him, we soon reach there and we untangled our hands. "Jake! My man!" A dude in a grey suit said, he hugged Jake patting his back. "Who is the beautiful lady?" Another guy with a dark red suit asked him. "Ah, this is Tessa, my girlfriend," Jake said making me gasp. Hitting him, I said. "No, I'm, not." "...yet," Jake said, I noticed who he was looking at. Mr Kings. His eyes were solely on Mr Kings when he said that. What game was he playing? S

    Dancing with Jake felt like I was walking in the sky. Dancing with Austin felt like- well I don't know, it's a feeling I can't explain. Shut up. I can't believe I was dancing with Mr Kings. Yvonne should have been the one in my place right now. She'd be so happy to be in my place right now. I was a bad friend. I shouldn't have accepted this dance. I closed my eyes hoping it would be over soon. It seems god answered my prayers because the dance got over. I stepped back awkwardly. "I uh, I have to go," I said turning around only to see Jack. "Do you know where Yvonne walked off to?" I asked. He nodded, but his eyes weren't on me, but on Austin. "Where?" "She went towards the bar." "Where is the bar?" "The door opposite." He replied. "Thank you, I'd talk to you... Later." I said walking off to the door. Turning the door knob. I noticed the room was dimmed lit. Not many people were in it. I entered looking around for Yvonne, but she was nowhere to be seen. I searched harder, and I

    After 5mins of searching and still couldn't find it, I decided to call Mr Kings. I walked to my table and took my office phone to call him. It rang twice before he took the call. "I'm sorry sir, but I couldn't find the file." He hesitated before he replied. "What do you mean? You've checked the safe?" He asked. I checked well. I checked all the file cases. "Yes sir," I replied. The call went dead. Seriously? Is that how to end a call where he came from? He should have said 'okay, thank you or something like that. My office door suddenly flung open. Mr Kings walking in startled me. He didn't even glance at me, he walked to the file safe and started looking at every file. Ha! He is not going to see it. What was he thinking? That he would find it and then insult me? I walked toward him. I was at his back watching him find the file. He suddenly stopped. He turned around facing me with the file in his hand. My eyes widened. I could swear I searched hard and didn't see that. He glare

    I got to my car and drove to my house. I looked at the time 4:30 pm. I drove for 10mins before reaching my place. As usual, the house was noisy from Anne's screams. I opened the door to see Anne running everywhere in the house, Zara ran behind her. She stopped when she noticed my presence. "Mommy!" Anne shouted running towards me. I bent down and opened my arms for her to come in. Running into my arms, she hugged me. I missed her so much. "How are you baby?" I asked. "Pine." She replied grinning, showing her small set of teeth. "What were you guys doing?" I asked her. "Playing, come mommy." She replied inviting me to play with them. And just like that, we played. We were technically running around the house. After some time, I asked Zara to go home and asked if she could spend the tonight with Anne. She happily agreed. That didn't stop Anne from playing though. Anne's giggles filled the house. Giggling along with her, we fell on the couch. "Baby?" I called sitting up. "Yes, mo

    I followed her through the mob of sweaty bodies. We stopped after a minute of walking. "Cris!" Yvonne exclaimed hugging a guy. He had dirty blond hair, he wore a white tee shirt, blue jeans trousers and white converse on... And has tattoos and piercings practically all over his body... Except for his neck and face. I never knew she follows Gothic people. He was pretty good-looking. "Happy birthday!" She exclaimed again. "Thanks." He replied and nodded his head towards me. "She's Tessa, the girl I told you about." "Oh? I didn't expect her to be this pretty." Cris said. I saw Yvonne roll her eyes. Maybe it was just my imagination. "I'm Cris, it's a pleasure to meet you." He introduced himself. I nodded my head. No need to introduce myself, right? Yvonne already did. "Nice to meet you too." "Okay! Enough with the pleasantries! Let's party!" It wasn't Yvonne nor was it Cris, but a young lady who had so many tattoos on her. She started jumping around. Okay, I felt highly uncomfort

    I reached my car and drove off. What I've heard from the staff still lingering freshly in my head. Slut. I'm not a slut... I tried to push those words out of my head but more just kept coming. And tears came pouring out of my eyes like it was an ocean. I managed to reach my house. Believe me when I say it's a miracle I got home without getting in an accident or something. I got inside the house, and the clicking of a spoon filled my ears. Zara must have heard me opening the door as she walked toward me. Her eyes widened. "What happened, ma'am? Are you okay?" She asked worriedly. I managed to keep myself from crying. "I got fired," I said and she gasped. "How- why?" She asked. "I don't know." I suddenly cried. I don't know why this happened to me. The thought that a man touched me without me knowing is already killing me. They were right. I'm a slut. I shouldn't have gone to that stupid party. A part of me wanted to blame Yvonne, a part scolded against that. It wasn't her fau

    "What kind of a person would leave their child to suffer? I cried day and night, praying you'd come back and take me home... But you never did! You left me to die... You-""I didn't Tessa, I promise I didn't.""Really? Aunt did so many wrongs to me, but everything she said about you was right! You are a whore, a big liar, a-""Stop it, Tessa!" She cried. "I promise, I was going to come back. I left so you could have a better life! But my plan backfired against me. You can call me a whore, anything you want to call me but not a liar. A whore? That I am, I left you to be with a rich man, hoping to gain something so you would go back to school, if you recall, we had nothing and I did... I was going to come back but he wouldn't let me.

    ~**** Tessa's POV ****~It was all over. The nightmares were over, and my enemies were gone. Vick was gone.I guessed Austin already knows everything... His mother's scheme. "Since you have nowhere to go, for now, you can come to live at my family house... Well at least until you get back on your feet." He said. I frowned a bit. I didn't like him saying it until I get back on my feet. Yes, I want to be independent again, but I didn't want to leave him. Didn't he want me?I just nodded my head.~It was about a few minutes' drive, and I did not want the ride to end, it was Austin who drove the car. I sat in the back seat with Anne in my arms and Zara next to me. I caught Austin staring at me several times through the mirror. My heart pounded inside my chest. 'I love you. He loves me.We got to Austin's place. It was really huge. Like extra huge. He did say it was his family home. Austin got out quickly. He opened the door for me. I looked up at him.His handsomeness somehow always ma

    ---"I'm scared mom, I'm scared all we've been working for would go to waste.""Stop saying rubbish! I'm trying to think here!" Austin's mom scolded Ciara."What's the point of thinking? Nothing you do ever work out.""How dare you insult me like that? Have you no respect?""Nothing I said was a lie.""You bi-" she was cut off by the sound of the siren.It was quiet for about some minutes and someone walked into the house, it was Austin's dad.She was shocked to see her husband, she wasn't expecting to see him until Austin's wedding day."Carla!" He called her name. He rarely calls her by her name."Honey... I... I wasn't expecting you." She stuttered."I never thought you'd stoop this low, Carla." He said to her. She gulped. He sounded really angry but was calm. Mr Kings (Austin's dad) had always been calm and gentlemanly."You'd hurt your own family to get what you want..." He continued."What are you talking about?" She pretended not to know anything of what he was saying."I found

    Another man came out of another car. Oh my God. He was strikingly handsome. He was brunette and tall as well. His piercing blue eyes gazed at me for a moment."Carson, it seems they aren't going to back down." He told the blonde guy."Yes Dave, the hard way it is." Replied the blonde. They were going to save us!"Ahhh!" Screamed the buff guys as they ran towards these unknown good looking guys. Quickly, I brought Anne closer to me. Blocking her sight from this terrible view. I too closed my eyes in terror.In less than a minute the noise was gone, I opened my eyes, slowly to see the buff men on the floor.Oh my God. They weren't dead as they were moving slightly. The blonde guy forcefully brought up one of the buff men. He whimpered in pain."I did suggest the easy way." He told him. A smirk plastered on his good-looking face. "Now, tell me... Where's your boss?" He asked him.He shook his head no. He wasn't going to tell him where sir Vick was...The brunette guy who I think is Dave

    "Unbelievable," He muttered. "Was it all a pretence?" He asked suddenly. Almost like he already knew but needed confirmation. I had to drop this pretence. It's not going to get me anywhere, it's only going to get me more entangled.That's why he thinks I'd willingly have sex with him. If he keeps pretending, one way or the other, he could manage to pressure me into it."Why'd you suddenly drop the pretence? You know it was almost going well... Was it because of what I said?" He asked. "About us trying for a baby?" He asked. "Do you know how fucking easy it would have been to get that from you? Do you know how easy it would have been to rape you?" He held both my hands and pulled me closer to himself. Fear gripped me."Please let go of me, Vick." I pleaded."No! I'm never going to let go of you!" He growled. Different sorts of emotions ran through his face. "I will never fucking let you go!""Ple-""You're mine, Tessa! Mine!" He kept saying, angrily. Suddenly his anger seemed to have v

    April walked out of his room with a smile. "Leave him be. He's taken the medication. He'd be fine." Said April.Austin had driven out of the house. He remembered the last time he had spoken to Tessa."I think that's what I meant," I said before I could stop myself but also couldn't stop myself from going on. "I know what you want, Austin. But doesn't love comes from both sides? I don't love you, I never did, and I never will. I appreciate what you've done for me and my child and if there's a way I could pay you back, I would.." Tessa had said.It brought so much pain to his heart. But he needed to get to Tessa. Now. He hoped she was okay. He hoped she'd receive him.He drove to her apartment. On reaching there he quickly got out of his car and walked to the front door. He rang the doorbell a couple of times, impatiently.The door opened a lady stood there with a child. She stared at him. "I need to see Tessa." He said.She didn't speak for about a minute. She just stared at the good-l

    She pushed the door handle and took a step into the door. This was where it all happened. She walked in, slowly looking around, and tears slipped out of her eyes.Her mother was evil.When she was a little girl, she thought of her mom as an angel. But as she grew, she came to know what a devil she was, she cared about nothing but her reputation and money.She remembered how her love was snatched away from her, She remembered how she was forced to marry that monster to who she's currently married. She remembered all the pains she went through.She remembered how she was raped on her wedding night. It was all because of a woman she called her mother.Tears continued to slip through her eyes.

    "Shut up, you clueless brat," Madam said, clearly angry at what she had said. "Have you forgotten you wouldn't even be in this house if not for my help, so I suggest you watch your mouth?" Madam said sternly. "And about Austin, I would go speak with him and make sure he takes every single pill of that medication, I would be the one taking it to him. And don't worry, my dear. I promised your parents my son would get married to you, I don't fail my promises." Madam said.Their relationship has been weird lately, one thing they look like a mother and daughter who rely on and love each other and then the thing you know, they are like two enemies wanting to kill each other. But why? This was easy to know, they were frustrated... Their plan wasn't going as they planned, it seemed.I have always wondered why they want Austin to keep taking the drugs.
