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.

"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

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!'

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

    "Yes." He replied timidly. I looked over at the cop. "See?" I said to the cop. "He just admitted he's behind it. They framed me, please let go-" I was cut off by Vick's tsks.He bent down and faced me. "That's of no use, my love. Have you forgotten who I am?""I don't know who you are, nor do I care!" I spat, shaking my head furiously."Well, long story short. I'm above the law. These cops can't do shit." He cussed."Where's my child?" I asked ignoring what he said. "Where's she?! I swear if anything happens to her, i-""You would do what? What can you do, tell me, I'm interested to know."There was nothing I could do, I had nothing compared to these people. It's scary."Please, tell me she's okay.." I pleaded."Oh, she is. But she won't be for long," he said. My eyes widely opened. "Unless you do whatever I say." He finished."I won't do anything you say! Just l-" The anger in me said."Then she dies.""No, no. Please, I beg of you, do not harm her please.""Just imagine if you just

    **** Tessa's POV ****"Anne?" I called again. Oh God, where's that child? I turned around to look at Vick. "Where is she?" I asked. Instead of answering me, he went over to the couch and sat down comfortably, staring at me blankly."I asked, where is she?!" I snapped."You know, you're not going to see her with that dang attitude.""What?""Calm down and then you would see her," He said rolling his eyes. I wanted to jump on him and strangle him, but then I would be asking for another thing.Calm down, Tessa, calm down. I said to myself.I breathe in and out. "C-can I see her?" I asked with my voice low.He raised his eyebrow. This bastard. "You're not going to add anything?" He asked. I looked at him confused.Oh.. "please.." I added."Say the whole sentence together." He said with a smirk playing on his lips."Can I see her, please?""Sure," He smirked. "If you can find her."This bastard is playing with me. His whole existence is to annoy me. "Please," I said again."I would show yo

    For some reason, Anne whimpered when he spoke."No, I want t-""Just use the kitchen, except you want her to starve, nobody is leaving this house," He barked. "if you need anything, ask Amber, the girl who lead you to the thing's room." He said.He just called Anne 'Thing' and I can't do anything about it, I tried retaliating, but something tells me, he would let her starve. He knows my weakness."O-okay." That was all I could say back."I'd show you the kitchen." I heard the lady's voice. I nodded. I held Anne's hand and took her along with me.We reached the kitchen. "There's everything you would need, what do you want to prepare?" she asked."Uh... Pasta?""Sure," She said giving me a pack of pasta. She put all might need on a table and walked out.I didn't waste any time, I started cooking. I placed Anne on a chair in the kitchen. "Are you crying?" I asked when I noticed tears flowing out of her eyes."He's very mean and scary, mommy."We then had a conversation.~After a few min

    After about an hour, we'd already eaten. I tried to make excuse upon excuse to sleep with Anne tonight but he keeps rejecting it. "It's okay, she'd be just fine, I promise." He said.Frustrated, I said. "Why should I believe you? You starved her, I wouldn't be surprised if she's actually okay and yo-""I'm sorry I did all that, I was just angry, you wouldn't give up.." He cut me off, apologizing. "But, I promise, I won't hurt you anymore." He said. He really doesn't actually care.But I was very close to wrapping this guy around my fingers, he was my only weapon at this time. I could use him against all my enemies and even against himself.He'd be good coverage. I also need information."I'd stay with her till 2 am," I said."Tessa," He said sternly. He suddenly looks angry. "You'd do as I say, do not make me punish you."Punish.He grabbed me by my hand and dragged me along with him. It seemed he was taking me to Anne's room.We finally reached the door he opened it. Anne was fast as

    ~I sat on the chair pretending I was crying. "Tessa!" I heard Vick shout my name before he walked in. That guy probably already told him.I sobbed harder. I saw my mode and his face immediately became soft. He rushed to my side."why are you crying, babe?""H-he insulted me. He came over, and I saw him with your paperwork, I just wanted to help out with it because I was bored and I thought you might be tired when you get back... I thought I was doing my love a favour but then he got mad for literally no reason and threw the papers at me.." I sobbed. "And that's why you stormed in here looking like you were about to kill me, you believe him... You didn't even come or call to ask me what actually happened but you were ready to kill me, how is this relationship going to work if you don't trust me?""I'm sorry, babe. I'd get rid of h-""No no, don't do that. Just tell him to come to apologise.""Done. I'd make it up to you, we'd go have a romantic dinner... Just me and you." He said as h

    "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.

    ~**** 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.

    "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

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.
