2024-10-29 19:42:56I was on my way home from work. I had to leave earlier than my closing time. I have been sick lately. I just have to relax, I guess. My body felt sore, easily gets tired, and had headaches and so on, I should be worried but I wasn't because I was never almost sick. That doesn't mean you can't get sick.
I sighed, I drove slowly because I felt dizzy, maybe I should just come down and take a cab or something? That would be stressful so I decided to continue my slow drive home. Soon I got home, Carson, my husband, won't be home by now, he left earlier today to go sign some contracts, which was good because I don't want him worried about me being sick. Whenever I am sick, Carson stresses himself and refuses to go to work just to take care of me.
I giggled remembering the day I had a fever. He refused to go to work so he could be with me. Fulfilling all of my wishes. I am seriously so lucky to have someone like him in my life.
I drove into the garage and stopped the car.
I got out of my car and locked it, I spotted Carson's car. Well, that's a surprise, it was only 2 pm. Maybe he got the contracts and signed them. I'm so proud of him!
I guess I can't hide that I am sick today. I walked to my front door and unlocked it. The sitting room was dead silent.
Where was he? It's either he is here or he's in his home office. So if he is not here then he would be in his home office. I strolled to his little office and called "Carson?" I was replied with silence
"Carson?" I called again, this time my voice louder. He wasn't in the sitting room or his office. He must be in our room, then. But that's odd.
I mopped through the stairs to where our room was. "Sweetheart, I am home!" I say sweetly. I moved closer to the door, I stopped in my tracks when I heard moans. I giggled. Was he watching porn?
"Baby?" I called opening the door, my eyes widened, and my heart suddenly beats faster than ever. I could hear my heart beating against my chest, and tears gathered in my eyes.
They stopped, and she got off him, I swear I just saw her smirk at me, I heard Carson groan, and next to him was the girl I called my best friend.
I moved away from the door, closing the door behind me, I turned to walk away. This had to be a dream. Oh god, please let it be a dream.
Running out, I went to my car. I didn't want to be anywhere near them at that moment, but I didn't know why I waited for like five minutes, Hoping he would come to meet me and explain this. I drove off, going to only god knows where.
More tears spilt out of my eyes, why? Why would he do that? I thought he loved me.
And why does it have to be with Sara? Someone who was like a sister to me, I can't believe she would do such a thing.
It felt like my heart is been ripped off my chest.
My hands started shaking. I had to stop driving, I parked my car on the side of the road and started crying, so hard.
You would regret going to him someday! My aunt's voice screamed at me.
He's going to use and dump you!
Don't return here when he does, I won't accept you! You should reconsider getting married to him!
These made me cry harder. She had been right, I guess. She had always been against my relationship with Carson.
Someone knocked at the window of my car. "Hey, sorry for disturbing you but it's getting late and it's really dangerous out here." A guy said.
I slowly turned my head to look at the time. 6:57 pm?? I looked back at the man. "Thank you." I could barely hear myself, not sure if he heard until he nodded his head. "You're welcome." He said. I sighed and drove off.
I was so confused, I didn't know what to do, I finally got to the house, and my body felt numb.
When I got in, I saw Carson in the sitting room, he was talking to someone on the phone.
His eyes met mine for a brief minute and he cuts the line of whosoever he was calling.
"Sign that." I looked at where he was motioning at a paper on a paper holder, and my eyes widened when I saw its contents.
He was going to divorce me? I didn't want a divorce. Yes, I am angry at him for cheating, my blood was boiling but I didn't want to divorce him. He's Carson, the man I married, the man I love. I have always treasured him, told him how much I love him and he told me he loved me too. He showed his love for me in all kinds of ways. I can't believe this! "Cars-" he cuts me off when he snapped. "Just fucking sign it." he snapped.
"Carson, you don't have to do this. We can still make our marriage work out. Please, I love you, Carson, please! Don-"
"Make what work out, Tessa? I have been in this loveless marriage for three years! Just fucking sign the paper and get the fuck out of my house!" He gritted.
I was shocked. Loveless. Does he think our marriage was loveless? I was scared to say anything back to him because he looked so angry and I have never seen him this angry before. It scared me.
Were you thinking of staying with him after what you saw earlier?? My subconsciousness screamed at me. I just could not imagine not being with him.
With tears spilling out of my eyes I moved closer to him, "Carson, please don't do this, you've always said you love me a-" he cuts me off again.

"Well, I don't love you, I never loved you, Tessa." "You don't mean that., I said, it came out as a whisper. "I fucking meant it, sign the papers and fucking leave my house." He gritted out. The glare he gave me scared me a lot, with a shaky hand and took the pen, hoping he would stop me from actually signing the paper. My hand moved on the paper, creating my signature. That was it? We were no longer together? I can't stay here anymore, no. I can't, I rushed upstairs to the room I was sharing with him, packing my stuff together. More tears flew down my eyes, and soon I was done packing, I went out of the room, and I noticed a smirking Sara behind a door. I still can't believe she had done this. I looked away from her and walked out. What was I going to do? I have no family, yes my parents are alive, but the last time I saw them was when I was 6-10 years old. My dad was an abusive man, he abused my mother and me, after some time he left and we never heard from him again, though

What? What? My eyes widened, what am I going to do? I could have been in my hotel room, on my bed, crying into my pillow if I wasn't so distracted by some stranger. "There's a staircase we could use." He said behind me. Thank god! "Oh, there is? That's a relief." I say and he chuckled but there was a hint of surprise on his face as if he was surprised that I didn't know there was supposed to be a staircase. "Come with me." He walked forward and I followed behind him. We got to a staircase. A long staircase, if that's the only way down, I have to use it. Ugh, how was I going to drag my luggage down this staircase? There was so much work. It felt like I could collapse at any given moment. My body was weak. We walked down slowly, it felt like I was going to fall. "You okay?" He asked. "Yeah," I replied, okay, I was not okay. My legs were giving up, after walking for what seemed to be like forever, Jake halted. For a moment I thought we had reached, "are you sure, you don't look oka

I wore a pink gown, not bothering to check how it looked. I know I look like a mess, whatever guests she has, I don't know them. I sighed walking out of the room, I mobbed to the sitting only to see aunt smiling widely at two men standing in front of her. "Of course! She would love to go now! Cara!" She called beaming, Cara is her only child and daughter, she is a year older than me. Cara waltzed in, her face was heavily stashed with makeup, I'm, I'm not surprised. "And, there's my niece, Tessa, she's just like a daughter to me." She motioned for me to come closer. Just like a daughter to me my butt. I walked closer, don't know Why But I already hate the two men in front of me. "Let's sit down." I sat down on the seat next to Cara, I noticed the side glare she was giving me, she has never liked me. The rest was a blur, seriously, I wasn't even listening, my mind was on so many different things. I felt someone's eyes on me, looking to the opposite side was one of those men, wh

I gulped looking at the man before me. It was a setup! What an idiot am I, I should have known. A huge grin plastered on his face. He walked closer to me. "Don't come closer!" I screamed at him, but he didn't even seem to hear what I just said. His grin was sickening, I looked around if there was anything I could use to protect myself when he suddenly jumped on me resulting in the two of us falling on the bed. "Help! Somebody help! Please!" I screamed for help but no one came. The man pressed his body against mine, he brought his head to my neck and started kissing it, my effort to push him away was in vain. He was so much stronger, tears spilt out of my eyes, "stop, please, don't do this, I beg of you!" I cried. He stood up from me, he quickly unclasped his belt I thought this was my chance to escape, but his arm suddenly wrapped around my waist pulling me back. Kicking and screaming did nothing to him. I spotted the vase on the stool behind the bed, I stressed out to reach it,

"I'm pregnant." I blurted out. Hoping that would stop this madness. "What? You're lying." She replied. "I'm not. I'm pregnant and it's my ex-husband's." She started pacing around the room. "You're going to abort that bastard." "No. You don't tell me what to do." I snapped. She turned to look at me, the last time she looked at me like that was when I was 16, I had broken an expensive architect, by mistake. "You bastard! I've had enough! How dare you talk to me like that!" She lunged towards me grabbing my hair, tightly. "Stop!" I cried, but she didn't. "You're going to abort that bastard, do you hear me?!" I managed to push her away, resulting in her falling to the floor. Cara came rushing into the room and saw her mum on the floor. She glared at me, helping aunt up, I thought she was going to stop, but she didn't. ~ I cried, trying to clean myself. My body hurts so much. Cara had joined aunt earlier. I can't believe this is happening, it has to be a dream. A bad dream. Afte

I don't think I can reach out to him with a problem like this, I don't even know him. Yeah. You don't want to involve him in a matter like this. I think you should reach out to him, who knows, he might be able to help you. Two voices argued in my head, I don't think it's proper to reach out to him with a problem like this. Okay, watch yourself getting married... Or signed off. I don't want that! With shaky hands, I took my phone and typed the number on it. The phone rang, but then it was sent to voicemail. This might be a sign that I shouldn't call him. Throwing my phone frustratingly at the other side of the bed, I lay down. What an ill fate I have. I shouldn't have come here in the first place, if I hadn't, I would have been living in more proper life. Tears streamed down my eyes, with a headache coming along with them. Suddenly my phone rang. I stretch out to take my phone and looked at the caller's id. No name. I tapped the accept button before putting it close to my ear

"Tessa, I saw what happened earlier." I turned my head to look at Yvonne, she was giving me a weird look. "What do you mean? And stop with that face, it's creeping me out." "Don't pretend that you don't know!" "No, seriously, I don't know what you're talking about." "You and Jake! The way you two held each other's hands today, the way you two looked at each other..." She said dreamily. Oh god. She was talking about what happened earlier, I had incidentally slipped and Jake caught me. I and Jake have been friends for two years now and nothing is going on between us. "I told you, Jake and I are just friends., I said and she scoffed. "That's what you always say, even when you know it's not true, just- fine, but that won't stop me from shipping." I rolled my eyes mentally. "Did you hear?" She asked. "Hear what?" "About the boss, he's going to come to our branch tomorrow, I gotta go do my beauty treatment!" The boss, he was coming? I've never seen him personally, I have only heard

"Are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost." A voice said the person waved at my face, and I turned to see Yvonne. "I think I'm in trouble." "Why?" "He asked for me... Mr Kings." I said and her mouth formed into an 'o' shape. "Remember? I came late today, what if he wants to fire me-" "It's okay, calm down... Maybe... Well, he might just want to know why you were late, I don't think he would fire you and I could escort you there if you want." "Yes. Please do." "Okay." She chirped with a huge smile on her face. She entangled her arm in mine and we walked towards the elevator. We entered and the door closed and it started moving. "Relax, you look tensed." I heard Yvonne say. I sighed. Soon it stopped and we stepped out and walked towards the reception. Yeah, there was also a reception here for those waiting to see him. "Thank you so much, you can go now-" she cuts me off. "It's okay, I want to be here for you, what are friends for?" She said with a friendly smile. "Thank

"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?

~**** 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

Tessa's POV~I didn't feel so confident anymore. I was scared. I just wanted it all to be over, after the dream I dreamt of last night, my ways of thinking changed. What if he finds out?I can't imagine what would happen, can't imagine what I'd do if anything happens to my child, thinking about it, there is nothing I would be able to do other than scream and cry. I'm completely helpless. I just have to try and prevent anything of such to happen.All I had to do was... Drop my plans? I could have come this far for nothing...You can continue if you want your child dead, I'm sure you'd love to see your precious little child dead. A voice crept into my head. I squeezed my eyes shut in pain. That can't happen. No.What if... What if Austin's Mother tells Vick everything... Oh my God.No, I'm sure she won't, she wouldn't do it. She wouldn't want to ruin her reputation. She knows if she does, it would all be over for her.Why did Vick have to come back into my life? Why? If he wasn't here.
