"What am I going to do now?" I cried when Gwyneth told me all my things were burnt in the fire. "Where am I going to go from here? What'd I tell the landlord? he'd probably make me pay for his properties." I winced.

It seems like life itself hates me, I've been through hell since the day I was born. Never a day have I been in peace, well, I was for some time.

I curled myself on the bed. My body ached, and my head ached. I've been crying for the past hour, and no matter how I tried to keep myself from crying, I couldn't stop myself.

The situation was overwhelming. "Tessa, will you just stop crying? You've been like that for the past one hour and about the house. A solution will surely come up later, come, you've to take a bath." She said grabbing my hand and trying to pull me out of the bed.

She successfully pulled me out of the bed to the bathroom, instructed me what to do and told me there'd be a cloth waiting on the bed for me. I managed to whisper a thank you.

She walked out. I

    Well, neither do I. "I don't know.." "You don't know? You know, you really have to do something about this, if you let her get away she might do something much worst sooner or later, remember, you've got a child." She was absolutely right. A huge part of me wanted to get her back, wanted revenge. But what can I do? She's rich, powerful, obviously, there's nothing I could do. "I know, but what can I do?" I asked. She sighed. Her phone dinged. "Jake is here." She said. She stood up and went away. She came back a minute later with Jake trailing behind her. I looked down. Unable to look at him, I was ashamed. "No case was charged. The landlord demands his property money." Jake said. Normally, he'd first ask how I was. For some reason, I don't like this Jake. Yeah, he seems like a different man. Not in terms of looks, but character. Something tells me he's mad. "Oh, how much did he demand?" Gwyneth asked. "54,000 dollars." He said. My eyes widened. 54,000 dollars? Where am I going to

    If looks could kill, I'd have been ten feet under right now. "Well, I get you're worried for Anne but I never asked for you to be worried about me, if you're here to see Anne, why not come back some other time?" I asked. He looked taken aback by my tone. Probably because he's never heard me speak this way before. "Tessa.." "Are you going to go or not?" "See baby? This is why I asked you to take custody of the little girl.." Sara whispered, but it wasn't low enough. She's been telling him that? Did she even think he could take custody of Anne? What fantasy do they live in? Anne wasn't asleep but I felt some possessiveness towards her. I don't want her to grow attached to someone like him. "Guess what, Tessa, my husband and I have decided to take custody of your daughter, Isn't that great news?" Sara said. I reached closer to her, how dare she say that to my face? I slapped her. She screamed jumping back like someone had poured boiling water on her body. Speaking of water... "How

    A lot of thoughts were going through my mind. Did I have the heart to use him for revenge? That’d mean hurting him. Why was I even scared of hurting him? he has always used every chance he has got to hurt me. But doing that would be so heartless. Thinking deeply about it discouraged me. I shouldn’t be thinking of something like this. There are lots of other ways I could have revenge... Well, not lots, but there might be a way apart from this. There must be a way. No! There isn't! This is the only way! There is, actually. Two voices argued in my head. “What do you want here?” I asked immediately as we parted. My voice was meaner than intended. He looked taken aback by my sudden tone. I shouldn’t have hugged him back. I hated how my body reacted when he was close to me. I wish I have full control of my body. I once did, but suddenly I didn’t. “I heard what happened,” he said after a minute of remaining quiet. “I got so worried,” he said. My jaw dropped for a quick second before I

    “Truth or Dare?” Dave asked... “Uh...” If I go with a dare, they might ask me to do something I didn’t want to do, I mean... That’s what dare is all about right? “I’d go with the truth..” “The person you have feelings for... Is he in our midst?” He asked. I choked. I looked at all of them. It was like their eyes were penetrating me... Especially Austin’s. “Uh..” “You choose truth so you have to say the truth,” Jake said. “Yeah, you did,” Loren said with an evil glint in her eyes which looked scary as hell. It was like her eyes were penetrating my soul. I gulped. “I.. I..” ~ End of the dream, lol ~ I jerked off the bed when I heard a loud storm. It was just a dream... Only a dream... Okay, that’s it. I’m not going back to sleep again. ~ I walked out of the room. I really need to take a walk, clear my head and think straight. “Finally, you’ve gotten out. I thought you strangled yourself in there.” Gwyneth said dramatically. “Uh. Sorry, I was uh..” “It’s okay, I guessed you

    I glared at him. I wished nothing but for my glare to kill him right now. He was a nightmare! Why did Gwyneth have to go out? Now of all time? I didn't want to speak with him. Not after those dreams, I had of him last night. My brain tells me to run far away from this man, his appearance screamed nothing but danger. His smell was intoxicating, attractive and seductive. "What do you mean, we weren't talking about anything," I said. "That's why I came, to talk." He said. Even his voice was seductive or it was just my brain making these up. "W-what do you want to talk about - - I mean, I have nothing to talk about with you," I said quickly. "Are you and Jake together or were you guys dating?" He asked. I choked releasing the door. That was the last question I expected. How did we get to this subject again? "W-what? No, no. We're not.." "Do you like him?" He asked. I looked at him unbelievably. Why was he asking these questions? It doesn't seem like a question a person like him woul

    'What are you staring at? I'd start doing as I was told if I were you.' The text says. Her breathing became ragged. She quickly walked to her car as fear took over her body. She had to send Tessa away if she wants to keep her family safe. Her family meant so much to her, she couldn't put them in such grave danger. She pitied Tessa. Tessa has gone through a lot already, and she wished there was something she could do to truly help her. She drove off quickly. The ride from her parent's home to hers was an hour and 20mins long. Her hands were shaking throughout the whole ride. She finally got home, and her phone dinged again before she stepped out of the car. 'Less than an hour... I wouldn't waste my time talking to her if I were you..' The text says. She was going crazy. She rushed to the front door and knocked on it. In less than 20 seconds, Tessa was at the door, with Anne in her arms. "You have to leave now," Gwyneth said. She walked past Tessa and walked into the room Tessa wa

    Oh God, please save me... I cried over and over again. No one was going to help me this time, there wasn't any glimpse of hope. If anything happens to me, I'd just hope nothing bad happens to Anne. My poor baby deserves a normal life. I closed my eyes and waited for what was going to happen. It was sickening, what was happening. Tears just flew out of my closed eyes. Suddenly, the car stopped. The man redrew his hand from my thigh. I breathe out in relief. "What's that?" He asked the dude driving. "The cops." He replied. My eyes widened, and I could scream. The driver rolled down the front window. I was about to scream but a hand clamped my mouth, and I felt the cold metal on my head again. "Wasn't this the car we saw last night?" Whoever was outside asked. "Yes, it is." Another one answered. "Search the car, it's a suspect for the crime happening here lately." "Copy that." A man appeared in the front glass and asked for the driver's ID. Hope something happens and they get these

    I picked up Anne and stepped away from the wall. Still quiet. That's a good thing, right? I ran towards the same road which lead me to this place. Minutes later, I reached a crowded place. Anne began crying. She hasn't eaten anything since we left Gwyneth's place and now, we're in another country. It was hard to believe. I needed to ask someone what country is this. I was getting attention from people because of Anne. She was crying so loud. I rocked her. "Hey, please excuse me," I spoke to a woman hoping they speak English here. "Hello." She said back. "Uh... What's the name of this country?" I asked. She gave me a weird look. I know, it's funny. "Switzerland." She replied. Oh my. That's like 10 hours from the US by plane. I thanked her and she walked away. What was I going to do now? I don't have my phone, I lost it earlier. I had to look for a place to stay before those people sees me. I can't take that risk... The cloud was getting thicker by the minute, it was like it was go

    "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.

    "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.
