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
~Everyone gave a toast. After we had both given each other our engagement rings. No one could see behind the fake smiles I was giving."Congratulations to the newly engaged couple!" I heard Austin's mom squeal. This witch. She's never going to leave me alone.What could I possibly do to bring this woman down?Her soon-to-be daughter-in-law was behind her, a smirk plastered on her face. I felt like giving her an ugly slap.I faked smiling."True, true! My beautiful daughter just got engaged." I heard Aunt.It felt like everyone was against it at that moment. I didn't want this.I gave Zara a look, the woman who watches after Anne when I'm not around. She nodded her head, understanding what I meant. Vick was talking to some business partners, I think.I walked away. I just wanted to get away from that toxic environment for a minute.I walked and walked then I felt someone grab my arm, whoever it was pulled me to a balcony."Let go of me!" I snatched my hand. I looked at who was it, to
It was rainy. It has been raining for about two hours. I sighed looking through the window. I was tired, I was tired of it all, I just wanted it to be all over. It did seem it was getting over.The door slammed open, snapping me out of my thoughts; I looked at the door to see a very angry Vick, he looked so angry. I have never seen him this angry before.I gulped, I got up from where I sat and walked over to him. "W-welcome-" I couldn't finish what I was going to say as his right hand came in contact with my face sending me straight to the floor.I whimpered. "So, it has all been a pretence. All this while, you claimed to love me... it was all just an act. You don't love me, you just want stupid revenge you're not going to get!" His voice cracked at the end. "I loved you, and I still do, I was going to give you everything, everything that would make you happy but you choose to play me. To mess with my-""What are you talking about, Vick?""Oh, you're going to pretend you don't know wh
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. I squeezed my eyes shut in pain. That can't happen. No.What if... What if Austin's Mother tells Vick everything... Oh my God.No, I'm sure she won't, she wouldn't do it. 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.
