~**** Tessa POV ****~I opened my eyes, but quickly close them back as the bright light almost blinded my eyes. Wow, I thought I died. I opened an eye, it wasn't as bright as before, so I opened my other eye.I heard a familiar giggle. "No, mommy doesn't want me to be a Barbie, she said barbie is dumb." I heard Anne say."Mommy is right, you know. Are you sad about it?""No, I believe mommy and my friend also think so," She replied. "So! How is your girlfriend?" Anne asked.Oh my God. "I don't have a girlfriend," Austin replied.Anne gasped. "Really? I thought all cute guys has a girlfriend! You know, even mommy thinks you're cute, it's also the same as good-looking, right? She once said yo-" I couldn't take it anymore."Anne!" I called. Oh my God, she was about to expose me. Austin's ego is already huge, I can't imagine how bigger it might get if he finds out I actually find him attractive."Mommy!" I heard her call. She ran to me and literally jumped on me. I hugged her so tight,
*** Third Person's POV ***She stared at the house from a distance, glaring at it. After all, she had done, nothing came back the way she wanted, all because of her 'enemy' Tessa. What's so special about her? She cried.She wasn't going to let her get away with it. She wanted to kill her even if it resulted in her to jail. She knew she was going to jail anyways. It's only a matter of time before they'd find out she's the mastermind behind what has been going on.She wasn't going to allow Tessa to have her 'happy ending'. She believes Tessa is a witch and has bewitched every guy she knows.She still can't see why men would fall over hills with Tessa. She refuses to see why, to her, Tessa is an ugly witch.She was fuming. Tessa... I would make you pay for all you've done... She thought.Hurting her daughter would hurt her more... She thought again, but her daughter was nowhere to be found. She looked around searching for Anne.This wasn't the first time she's been here, so she knows tha
~20 hours later, I heard from the doctor that he was alright. I was so relieved. He was going to be okay...I looked at the time, 9:50 pm. Another set of doctors walked into the room. They've been doing lots of examinations on him. After 10 minutes of checkup, one of the doctors turned to me."Surprisingly, he's recovering faster than we expected. He might wake up anytime soon." He said. A huge smile crept on my face.I thanked the doctor. I was overjoyed. The doctors left the room, and I walked closer to Jake's bed. The protective glass was gone, I just want him to get up now. I wanted to hug him.I sat down on a chair beside the bed. Staring at him, I didn't know when I fell asleep."Why are you doing this to him? Don't you see how hurt he is? You keep denying what you feel about him... You might regret all this in the nearest future..""No, I won't because I don't feel anything for him. I really don't.""You're not a good liar, Tessa.""Who are you by the way?"She didn't answer m
••"Uh... Uh.." I stuttered, at loss for words. I couldn't get my brain to work, everything in me suddenly froze, and my nerves shut down.I felt someone grab me by my arm, waking me back up, it was Austin's mom. "I said, get out of here, you peasant!"She was dragging me out of the room. "No, please! Let go" the way she was dragging me was humiliating."Ma'am.."She stopped at Jake's voice. "Shut up, Jake, I do not want to hear a single word from you! What has this witch done to you?! She bewitched you and Austin! She's got to leave us alone! She needs to get out of our lives for good! I promised your mother that I would take care of you, treat you like my child, protect you, especially from witches and whores like this thing!" She said referring to me.I took in a deep breath, refusing to let it out. "Ever since she came into our lives, it's been nothing but bad luck, troubles... Can't you see?? The 'thing' is of no good, I'm sure if your mom was here, she would have been so disappo
••Tessa's POV••I couldn't sleep the whole night. It was around 6 am when I heard my phone ring. Just when I was about to sleep... I looked at the caller's ID... Kara.I picked it up. "How could you?" That was the first thing I heard."How could I?""Oh don't act fucking stupid! I heard everything. You've been acting this whole while... The truth is finally out, just admit to it.""Kara..""Don't even say my name! Now I want you to listen, do not ever try to reach out to me ever again, an innocent man died because of you! You're disgusting." and with that, the phone went off.What was happening?! Why was all this happening to me, what have I ever done to deserve all this? I cried out.••Third person's POV••"It's easier than I anticipated." She said with a smirk."Yeah, so what's next?""Austin would be getting married in less than a month, I want her there..""Wouldn't that cause problems?""I've got everything in control, he wouldn't even see her... And then after that, you can
It was later that night, and for some reason, I felt bad for what I did last night. I was scared. The woman we're talking about here is a woman with power and I'm just... A nobody.What if she decides to harm my daughter to get back at me? She'd surely do something, no doubt in my mind.Should I leave this place? But then, where in the world would I go?If I decide to leave this country and go back home, I would be left with absolutely nothing. But it's better than getting hurt.Well, that thought is a failure... I lost my passport. I lost everything.Think, Tessa, Think.I was abruptly stopped from my thoughts when I noticed a black car stopped only a few feet from my house, I looked through my house window, my neighbours normally don't use their cars at this time. And I don't think any of them has a black Mercedes.Something like this has happened before for me to think nothing isn't going on. What if she sent them?It was only 2:11 am.I panicked and ran to the house to turn off th
** **"YOU IDIOT!" Thug 1 said hitting thug 2 on the head. He winced."What was that for?!" He snapped."She escaped because of you! We had one job, bring her daughter! I suggested we should do this later today, you know the child comes out to play with the neighbour's child but 'NOOOO, people would probably see us, it's better at nighttttt!' " He mocked."I think he's drunk," thug 3 said."I think we're all drunk." thug 4 said with a shrug."Boss is going to kill us all!!""you mean only you, right?""No idiot, I meant all. Of. Us." Thug 2 said"Who suggested we should come tonight even when he's aware of our drunkenness?" Thug 1 questioned."Him!" Thug 3 and 4 said at the same time pointing at Thug 2."Bastards!! well, why didn't you two stop me?!" Said Thug 1."Uhm... Because you're the lead?!" Questioned Thug two."fucker, you're the second in lead." Thug 1 exclaimed."Yo-" He was cut off when his phone rang. "oh fuck, it's boss.""Well, pick it up!"He picked up the call, awkward
I got out of the car and went over to the back sit. Anne was clearly scared, her eyes widely opened, oh my poor baby.I removed her seatbelt, and she climbed down from the car and held it in my hand. With my other hand, I carried the bags and locked the car.To say I was scared was an understatement. Those men could be anywhere near here. If they're not, they'd probably find me soon...And then,I shake off the thoughts in my head and walked into the hotel. I booked one of the cheapest rooms in the hotel. I can't afford to waste money at this time.I thanked the lady I paid after she gave me the room card. Consciously, we walked to the elevator, and after a minute, we reached the room.I opened the door and we got in. Anne was suddenly excited. I smiled at the huge grin on her face. "You like it huh," I asked.She nodded, climbing the bed. "Yes mommy, it's very pretty."I nodded in agreement. It didn't take long before she fell asleep. I sighed. I stayed up for a while, but sleep soon
