"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
**** Tessa's POV ****I lay down on the chair reading today's newspaper, what happened last night keeps replaying in my brain and I couldn't stop smiling at it.Vick left for work early this morning, he seems to be always busy with work, not that I'm complaining."I'm sorry, I have to go to work, I have lots of work to do but I promise, it's all almost done, then I'd be at home with you-I shook the thought off my head. No, he should keep working, I do not need him here. It's more peaceful and comfortable when he isn't around."Ma'am, somebody is here to see you." I heard the house help say.Ugh, who is here, I wasn't expecting anyone and I wasn't in the mood to. But something in me was curious, so I asked her to let the person in.And then I saw the guy from yesterday. Oh, he came to apologize. I cleared my throat and sat up.I smiled. "So, what are you here for?" I asked him."I came to apologize." He said. I didn't like the way he said it. It sounded ignorant."Okay." I gave him a
"What?" He asked. He seemed out of breath. "Tessa was at the party just a few days ago,""What party?""Austin's mom said she saw Tessa abuse her.""What?" I said. It was unbelievable. The way he talked about Tessa was like he spites her. It was disturbing."She was with Vick. Her new target, you see, she couldn't get us, so she decided to target another rich guy," It was painful to listen to this, but I have to, to get information. He sounded drunk.Vick... His name sounds so familiar...~**** Tessa's POV ****~I was in the car with Vick. He had offered to take me on a night out. I was so nervous, my hand was shaking. I tried to hide it."I have been waiting for the day, Tess." He said with his hand on my hand. I gave him a fake smile, as I tried to stop my hands from shaking.We rode for 10 more minutes until we reached a place. It wasn't a restaurant. It was just a place beautifully decorated. Oh my God.. he was going to propose...My breathing became faster. We reached a swing,
**** Kara's POV ****The engagement party was tomorrow, and I had to go. That's the only way I could reach out to Tessa.I just have to be careful so no one could know what I'm up to, I might likely get killed. I know Austin's mom won't think twice if she finds out I know what happened, she wouldn't think twice about eliminating me.I heard a car pull up. I walked to the window to see Zedd's car. Oh my God. Did he remember telling me what was going on the other night?If he does, then no doubt in my mind he's here to kill me. My heart pace increased. He got out of the car, and I noticed a gun tucked in his back pocket. Oh my God.The next thing I heard was the doorbell. Calm down, Kara. I calmed myself. You got this.I quickly ran to my room and got my recorder. I started it and put it on my shelf.I walked to the door and opened it. "Zedd!" I exclaimed.He pushed me in, walked in and locked the door. I was scared but I shouldn't have let him know.He pulled out his gun and pointed it
