Marry Me Now Chapter 24
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'

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

The tear, of course, was fake, but it always got to Carson, he scurried to her side her cooed to her. "I was screaming your name, but you weren't answering me." You could say she was a good actress. "I'm sorry baby, are you okay? Is the baby okay?" He asked rubbing and soothing her stomach, she was with his child. She sniffed and nodded her head a little. "I don't think I can walk to the car, can you help me?" She asked. Carson nodded and gave her a sweet smile. She was with his child and he wanted her and the baby to be okay. Sweeping her off the floor, he took her towards his car ignoring the stares and cheering. He got into the driver's seat. He still loved Tess. And she had his child. He had to find out where she lives and who she was with. ~ By the time I got home, it was 4:54. I put the stuff I bought on the counter trying to stop myself from thinking about what had happened in the mall. When we met earlier, you know before Sara came out of the mall. I would have thought h

I tucked the strand of hair on my face to my ear and pressed my lips into a thin line. As usual Mr Kings has that annoyed scowl on his face. Should I even answer him? Yeah, he's the boss, remember? "Uh... This is Carson, my huh..." I tried to say something, but I don't just know how to put it. He raised an eyebrow. "My... Ex-husband." That made him scowl, if possible, harder than before but this time it wasn't at me but at Carson. He's so grumpy. I looked at Carson's face to see if he was fazed by this. "Who are you?" Carson asked. "I should be asking you that. You're in my building." Mr Kings said in the same cold tone. I thought I was the only one Mr Kings was being mean to, you know, from the very first day. You have no idea how I am relieved by this. At least I'm not the only one, I thought he had a 'special" hate for me. "I'm here to see my wi- ex-wife and I have every right to." "She doesn't seem like she wants to see you. You're going to leave? Or I'm going to have t

We talked about how recently we haven't been talking much. We talked about so much other stuff. And I couldn't stop laughing at his jokes. My computer beeped, I opened it to look at the message sent. 'I don't know what's going on in there but will you shut up?' It was a message from Mr Kings. I was being loud? I wasn't! He's so rude. "About Austin's engagement, I wanted to ask if you'd be my date?" Jake ask. Jake normally refers to Mr Kings as Austin. Austin is his first name, but I'd never call him that during work period or he'd fire me. He once did that to a lady. She had mistakenly called him by his first name and he fired her immediately. Do I really have to go to that engagement party? "Why did he even invite his employees, he has no relationship with them." I groaned. He smiled. "It wasn't Austin who invited them. It's his dad." He said and my mouth fell into an 'o' "So, what do you say?" "Yes. But why do they have to give short notice? Jeez." I groaned again. We ta

I reached my office and it was nowhere near 2 pm. It seems like today was going slow, sighing in frustration, I threw myself on my chair and began tapping on my table. I hope Mr Kings won't call me for the rest of the day and thankfully, he didn't. It soon got to 2 pm. I flung off my chair, arranged the office, and got out of the building. Reaching my car, I drove off to Anne's school. She sat at a table painting a picture. I smiled as I walked toward her. She looked up at me with a huge grin on her face. "Mommy!" She screamed getting off where she sat. I stooped down to hug her. I released her after a few seconds. She took the drawing she drew and showed it to me. It was a drawing of a woman hugging a little girl. It wasn't that good, but it was really good for her age. On the drawing was 'Anne's heart mommy!!' Oh, my heart. "Aww, baby, I love you too," I said giving her a huge bear hug. "I see you're here, Miss Carl." I heard the teacher say. I stood straight back up with a smil
Marry Me Now Chapter 31
When we were dating, I noticed his mood swings fast, but I'd just thought he had a bad day or something. A few weeks before I caught him cheating, he had hit me several times and didn't even bother to apologize. I stayed with him for fear of losing my home. I released Anne as I stood up straight. I looked through the peeping hole. He wasn't there anymore, had the security come? ~ I was cooking dinner, and Anne was in the living room, watching Dora. For some reason, I was having headaches. I jumped when my phone rang. I placed my hand on my chest as I took the phone from the shelf, I looked at the caller's ID. "H-hello?" I said. Why was I stuttering now? He's going to think something happened. "Hey, are you okay?" Jake asked. I didn't reply immediately. I breathe in and out trying to calm my calm myself. "Of course, how can I not be okay?" I hit myself in the head realizing what I just said. He's only going to suspect more this time, why didn't I just give him the usual answer 'ye

"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.

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.
