Marry Me Now Chapter 19
"I'm glad it's nothing to be scared of," I said. I couldn't stand anything bad happening to her, she's been my friend for two years now, a very good friend. "I have to go home now, I would come again tomorrow hmm? Take care." She said. "You too," I mumbled. I closed my eyes, I didn't know when I'd fall asleep again. I've been sleeping all day. •• "You know any man with these tattoos?" Jake asked the man behind the bar table. He had tattoos all over his body. He's been doing this almost all day. He'd to do it... For Tessa. The man inspected the picture again. He nodded his head yes. "Who?" Jake asked. "Ah ah ah." He gestured his hand. A sign he wanted money for it. Jake rolled his eyes before bringing out his wallet and placing 50 dollars on the table. The man shook his head. "More." Bringing out 30 dollars he asked. "How would I know if you know him?" "It's him. Trust me. Cris Alex." He replied with a grin. •• "So, his name is Cris Alex? You're sure?" "Not really." ~ ••

"What?" I asked Jake because of the look he gave me. "What makes you think so?" He asked, clearly disappointed. "I-i just know and Yvonne told me about Cris." He looked at me curiously. You're such an idiot! You're defending an almost rapist here! My subconsciousness screamed at me. He didn't do anything and Yvonne knows him. I know Yvonne, she's a kind soul. If he was a rapist or something, she wouldn't have pleaded that much for him. "She's being arrested." He suddenly said. "Who?" I asked curiously. "Yvonne." He spat. I looked at him confusedly for a moment before realizing what he'd just said. My eyes widened a bit. "W-what do you mean, why?" I asked and he scoffed out a laugh. Why was he like this? He was never like this and then all of a sudden... "Tessa," he said when he noticed my expression. "What did she tell you?" "Tell me you're lying," I said and he raised an eyebrow. "Lying about what?" He asked. Was he being serious? "About Yvonne." "No," He answered. "I answere
Marry Me Now Chapter 21
I fell on my bed immediately after I got to it. I whimpered. Jake was the one who helped me get this job... Maybe he could help me get another? Ugh. I'm an ungrateful brat... And careless. If I had been more careful, all this wouldn't have been happening, if only... I curled myself into a ball on the bed, crying my eyes out. I think I was sick. My temperature was high. My phone suddenly rang, startling me. Taking the call to look at the caller. Jake. Quickly answering it, I placed it on my ear. "Hey... Jake." I felt bad for snapping at him earlier. He was trying to help me and I snapped at him. "Hey. How are you?" He asked. He doesn't seem mad. That's a good thing, right? "I'm good I guess, you?" "Are you? You don't sound fine." He said making me break down. "I'm not okay," I cried. "I can't believe I had been stupid to think she cared for me. If I was smart enough... And now, it's hurting more than it should be. And my job. I lost my job." I cried. "Tessa..." I cut him off.

I walked out of the courtroom, my eyes watery, I couldn't believe I was crying over what she had said. But, it did hurt me, a lot. I wiped my tears away. Stop it. My subconsciousness scolded. "Wait up," Jake called. I wanted to stop and wait but my brain wasn't obeying my mind. I got out of the courthouse but he got to me before I could walk any further. "Are you okay?" He asked. He is so patient, I expected him to be mad or something but as usual, he didn't show any sign of being mad. I smiled. "Yeah, I'm okay," I replied. "You're sure? You don't look okay, is it because of her? She got what s-" I cut him off. It wasn't because she got imprisoned or something, just because of how she fooled me all this while. I was such a fool. "Yeah. Can you take me home? I'm so tired..." I said. He nodded with a smile. After the judge had given both Yvonne and Cris three years in prison. A part of me was happy, and a part of me was sad. Curse that part. I got into the passenger seat and Jake g
Marry Me Now Chapter 23
We got done with everything we needed to do. Taking my bag and Anne's school bag and lunch bag. We went to my car and I drove off to her school. I made sure she was settled in before I went to my working place. When I got there, I didn't come out immediately. I stayed inside my car for what seemed like hours. I felt nervous like a school girl on her first day in her new school. I snapped out of the trance I was in when I saw the time. 7:59 am. I quickly arranged myself and got out of the car. As I got inside the building, I noticed most of the worker's eyes on me. That scandal is still up here from what I can see. Ignoring them, I walked toward Jake's office. A lady suddenly stopped in front of me. She is really beautiful. "Miss Carl! I knew the truth would come out and it did! Oh, poor you, you didn't deserve to go through what you did." She said looking at me with... Caring eyes? "Uh.." "I'm Gwyneth and you must be Tessa. I heard what happened... You see, I was also friends wit

Opening the door, I got out. But for some reason, my body wasn't moving instead it relaxed on the door. I brought my hand to my chest. Why was it suddenly beating fast? If it goes any faster, I was sure it was going to explode. So... That's his girlfriend. Why was I even thinking about it, of course, she's his girlfriend. Hitting my head, I thought, what are you doing? Jeez, stop. "Ma'am?" I heard a lady's voice, I quickly stumbled away from the door and looked at the lady calling me. She was the secretary. "Uh. Yes? Oh, I was uh... My legs hurt, I just, You know," I laughed nervously. "I'd go now," I said and walked into my office. Placing my hand on my chest. I prayed for it to stop beating so fast. It did calm down after minutes but I didn't do anything for 35mins. Just sat there. Looking at the time, I noticed it was 1:34 pm. Oh, I had to go get Anne from school. Jake said I could be home at 2 pm. Does Mr Kings know? I guess I'd go find out. I stood up and walked to Mr King'
Marry Me Now Chapter 25
Yep, that's it. When I told Carson about it. He became about serious our relationship and asked for my hand a month later. My aunt was furious and threatened me not to even think of it. But, I was so blinded, that I ran away from her. I mean, it's a good and bad thing that I did. The good thing was if I hadn't run away, she'd married me off to a guy I had no idea who he was. Maybe to an old man, who knows? And the bad thing was I ran away only for my heart to be broken two years later by a man who promised to love, me forever. Oh, my poor heart. I hated talking about Carson, it brings me some unknown feelings. Getting out of the elevator, there was another one I had to enter still. But someone stopped me. Gwyneth. "Miss Carl.." She called. She was too formal. "Oh, just call me Tessa," I said giving her a friendly smile. She returned the smile, but if possible, even friendlier. "Yes. Tessa, So.. You're going home? It's not yet 4 pm.." She said analyzing me. I nodded my head.

I gulped. I could hear the sound of my heartbeat, it was fast and loud. I'm sure he's heard it too. Why do I have to be in this awkward situation right now? I wasn't ready for this. "Tessa," He said making me look up at his eyes. That contented look on his face. "It's you." He said as if he couldn't believe it. What was I going to say? I felt dumbfounded. And the way he was looking at me wasn't helping at all. Praying silently that the elevator should stop soon, but it didn't, it looks like it was moving slower than usual. "Answer me." He said. His voice sounded demanding. I remembered when we were together, he was that type of controlling husband. But, we weren't together anymore and I wasn't going to let him control me. "I don't have to," I said. "She's my child, right?" He ignored what I said and looked down at Anne. You wouldn't need a DNA test to prove he was Anne's father. There were lots of similarities between them. He bent down towards Anne, but I didn't know why I pushe

"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. I was kept as a prisoner in his home, I cried and longed every day to see you. My communication was limited but I tried to call your aunt, I got her phone number from my old jotter but her line wasn't going anymore. A month ago, he died from leukaemia and t

~**** 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. She sat down on the office chair. Her eyes shut.The door to the office opened and a woman walked in shutting the door behind her. "Young mistress..." She called. She didn't like the way she saw April.April was supposed to be the strongest one. April did not reply. "I have something to say... And i

"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. Austin doesn't need the drugs, not at all. In fact, he's getting his memories back without the help of the dr- wait... What if the drugs aren't
