Chapter 28

Vanessa

I have been asleep for as long as I could remember. It was nice to be able to sleep on my bed again, in my home, with the people I love around me.

It had been 2 days since I was rescued but sometimes I still feel like I was back there, in pain, fearing for my life.

Fortunately, that was all behind me now. The two people that put me in that position had paid their dues.

Mr Psycho was shot twice, in the leg and his arm, but he will survive and he will be going to prison for a very long time. He is wanted for very serious crimes before this and from the look of things, he might never come out of prison.

Jessica was not so lucky. She was shot in the head by the sniper and died before she could even receive any medical treatment. I felt bad for her, but I shudder to think that if she wasn't dead, then I might have been dead by now.

Just then I heard a gentle knock on the door.

"It's Damon, are you up?" He asked.

"Yes, Come in," I said.

As he came in I was glad I co

    Chapter 1 Vanessa's POVI was on a horse, a beautiful white horse but I was not the one riding it. I had my arm tightly clutched to the rider like my life depended on it.I couldn't see the rider's face but I knew he was male and he had thick brown hair and fine muscles and he was wearing a very familiar perfume… but I just couldn't place exactly how I knew it at this point in time.All of a sudden a red car came behind us in hot pursuit. It looked very scary and had a very scary driver too. She was female, with hair as red as the car she was recklessly driving. Still somehow the weirdest part was that she could never get to us no matter how she tried to maneuver her vehicle.This exact scene continued till I started getting weary of it and was seriously wondering when it would all come to an end, then all of a sudden the all too familiar sound of my alarm clock filled every corner of the tiny room.I shot up immediately, sweating profusely and breathing heavily. I checked the time,

    Chapter 2Vanessa's POVI wanted the ground to open up at that moment but alas, I was no magician!I felt dizzy but had to compose myself. Why was this happening to me? I wanted to smile and say congratulations but I could never fake a smile even if my life depended on it."Uh?" Was the lame response I could manage."This is Jessica, Jessica Mathias, the one I told you about, remember?" He tried to explain.What is he talking about?! The one he told me about… I thought I was the only one, I wanted to be the only one! How could I ever compete with this beauty?!Now that I think about it I remember him talking about Jessica but they broke up and that was the last I heard about her. Their relationship was crazy and toxic so I was absolutely glad when I heard about the break up and I told him it was good riddance that she was gone… Except she wasn't really gone as she was standing right here in the flesh before my very eyes.Not only was she here, she had a ring on her finger…. She had

    Chapter 3Damon's POVThe mansion was as breathtaking as ever but somehow it all felt kind of strange to me now.I've been away for so long but I could not call my house my home anymore... I had to share it now with Jessica."Darling, this place is gorgeous!" She screamed, stepping into the mansion and admiring the rich designs."Thanks," I said. "But we would have to change some things around here soon, I don't like some of the designs," she announced."Hold on! I like everything just the way it is," I objected.I tried to steal a glance at Vanessa who has been quiet since we stepped into the house. We picked out everything in this house together and it was perfect.I knew she wouldn't like us changing anything here and I didn't want that either. We had so many awesome memories together in this place and I felt I was betraying it all by even just the mere thought of Jessica in this place.Now she wants to redecorate?! Well that is something Jessica won't definitely have, no matter h

    Chapter 4Vanessa's POVThe drive back to my little apartment was a complete blur. I was in a state of disarray and I couldn't run to anyone for comfort… That was Damon's job… to comfort me whenever I was down, but now he's most probably in the warm embrace of another woman, completely oblivious to the massive heartbreak I was dying of.When I got back I discovered that my apartment looked as terrible as I felt, how wonderful!I just wanted to go back to bed and sleep away my sorrows, but who was I kidding?! In my current state, sleep was the last thing I could do.Just then my phone rang, I checked the screen… just when I thought my day couldn't get any worse behold it was Peter calling.I contemplated not picking up the call, to let it go to voicemail and forget about it, but then I would be punishing him and he didn't deserve it, he didn't deserve any of this, he didn't deserve me."Hey babe," I said, after I finally decided to pick up the call."Hi Vanessa, how are you doing?"

"Uh?""I didn't say uh, I'm asking you what I just said, " he stated. "I'm sorry, I wasn't really paying attention," I admitted, and I could hear the low laughter of others in the lecture hall. "Well you better start paying attention or just leave if you're bored," he said and got back to talking about whatever he was talking about.Why did I even come to class today! I knew I was not in the right space for this still I forced myself here just to make a complete fool of myself. I wasn't paying attention to the lecture.. I couldn't pay attention. I was completely disoriented and I'm sure the sweatshirt I was wearing hasn't been washed for days and smells awful but I didn't care.I have been this way since the breakup with Peter but I was this way because of Damon. I could not focus because I didn't want to face reality.

    Chapter 6Damon's POVI was going to commit murder real soon and it would not even be my fault.Jessica was making me miserable and she seemed totally oblivious of her actions. Living with her was suffocating and I couldn't take it anymore. I felt like I was haunted and that could even be an understatement. During the day I had to face Jessica and her constant whining and at night I dreamt of Vanessa and could not sleep. "Damon, come do my back," Jessica yelled.By that she meant I should come rub some sunscreen on her back but either way she always found a way to make sure I was right by her side. And don't get me started on her obsession with the swimming pool! She has been there literally every single day since we got back and she has somehow managed to make it impossible for me to enjoy swimming as usual. I just could not understand her extreme love for the water especially now, she said something the other day about needing enough Vitamin D or something like that…. And I was

    Chapter 7Damon's POVI could finally see her but still I was at loss for words…. I wanted to say a lot, so much, but I wasn't really sure where to start from. I have thought about this moment for so long and I actually planned it! With the help of our mums of course. It was hard spilling my guts especially when Vanny'smum was coincidentally at home when I got there, but I had to, Mrs Monday was no stranger anyways, she practically raised me up with my mum. I told them everything, I confessed my love for Vanessa to them and even told them about the fight I had with Jessica and the reason I was engaged to her in the first place and hoped they saw reason with me on why I could not go on living a lie. I expected them to support me full on without objection but I should have known better. My mum always stressed on the impression we left with people and she sure made it clear that she didn't like the way I ended things with Jessica. Yes she hated that I was living a lie and yes she th

"But why, what happened?!" I asked.Don't get me wrong, I was never in full support of the whole engagement thing with perfect Jessica, but still I thought he was happy…. I mean he must have been if he could go as far as putting a ring on her finger!I however was not ready to jump at this news yet until I fully understood what exactly was going on between the two of them. "I was never in love with her, Vanessa, I just went along with the engagement because I had to", he said."You had to? Why?" I asked.He wasn't making any sense at all. I mean who gets engaged to someone they did not love. This was definitely not the Damon I knew. Yes he was too kind and selfless for his own good, but I didn't think he could get engaged just because he had to! Like what sort of excuse was that! He looked at

    Chapter 27Vanessa Nothing has been the same since my conversation with Jessica. It was like the atmosphere around here took a sharp turn for the worse.It was not like I was exactly happy before or anything like that, it's just that now I was more anxious than I have ever been. I was conscious of every move and every little thing around me. Mr psycho certainly did not help in making me feel any better. He was so distant nowadays, grunting a few orders now and then or leaving me to my fate if I refuse to do something. True to my word, I have not eaten since the other day but I could feel myself getting weaker with every moment that passed. Something that has now become a normal thing was the voices I usually hear behind the door. Certainly all was not well between employer and employee and they were quite loud about it, but all I could fathom was that they were in constant disagreement but I could hardly hear what exactly they were arguing about. I sigh when I recall the second t

  • My Billionaire Brings Trouble    The little notes of torture

    Chapter 26Damon The first thing that came to my mind was calling detective Cole, of course I knew how to track a call, that was like computer 101, but I had to let him know because right now I needed all the help I could get and I have to do this the right way.Tracking the call illegally would not go down well with the police department, plus I had to hope for another call, one that was actually long enough for me to track. I tried to think of all these instead of the voice replaying in my head over and over again. Whoever called tried to make sure their voice was not recognizable, hence the reason it was distorted, but I had a strong feeling that I had been wrong about Peter. Whoever was behind this has something more personal to do with me. I was at the centre of this. This person knew me more than I imagined, this was someone very close to me that obviously felt neglected or abandoned. "Who could that be Damon?" Jennifer asked.She came down a few minutes ago and I could see

  • My Billionaire Brings Trouble    What's so interesting about me?

    Chapter 25Damon "What's so interesting about me?!" I asked. I did not like the suspicious look in his eyes, one minute he was calm and attentive and now he looked like a lion about to feed on his prey. He stood up from his seat opposite me and walked closer to where I was, leaning on the desk and gazed intensely at me."You see, while Peter, who you just accused, actually had an alibi, and not just one, because he was out with friends and quite a lot of people confirmed that, you on the other hand have none," he pointed out. And we were back to this again! Why was it so hard for them to see that I could not even imagine hurting Vanessa. They thought so little of me and it seems there was this mistrust that came with my wealth. I thought detective Cole would know better than to have such ideas but apparently I was wrong. Gosh! I could not imagine how I looked right now in his eyes. Here I was trying to convince him that someone else was responsible for this, when he always had h

  • My Billionaire Brings Trouble    Probably the worst idea ever

    Chapter 24Damon I have stopped counting the hours since Vanessa was kidnapped, not because I had forgotten, but because thinking about it was a reminder that she has been gone for way too long.I was driving to the police station for no other reason but a mere hunch, a very weak one at that, but unfortunately that was all I had and I was going to use it. This was not the time to allow sentiments get the better of me. I had this gut feeling that was not going away anytime soon until I did something about it.Still, I could have just called detective Cole and informed him, I had his contact for instances like this, but I wanted to get out of the house. I had to breathe some fresh air. I loved the women in the house to death but I just could not bear another minute with them. The tension in the house was so thick that you could cut it with a knife. It was becoming a never ending cycle of Jennifer going more into her shell as each day passed, completely broken because of all that was

It rang through every corner like the sound of doom.This day has been so full of surprises and it just keeps getting crazier! "Wait, are you saying you're not pregnant?!" I asked, I know it was a stupid question but I just had to be sure."Yes darling, I'm not pregnant! Try to keep up okay," she scoffed like she was already past that."So you lied to Damon! And all this while had him believing he had to take responsibility for something that wasn't even real!" I exclaimed. "Well it would have worked, if only we had gone through with the wedding!" She screamed. "And how exactly would that have worked out?" I asked. "He would have fallen in love with me eventually that's how, and then we would make chubby beautiful babies together, but he refused to touch me since I told him I was pregnant and that kind of spoiled the whole plan," she said. "Didn't you think that he would find out eventual

    Chapter 22Vanessa"Well well, it seems I won't be needing this anymore," she said as she took off the mask, running her hand through her red hair.I could not believe my eyes! Of all the people I suspected, she was never even on my list, even though the list was quite short. I have only been with her for a short while that I didn't even know she could do something like this. She was a real spoiled brat, that at least was obvious, but I thought there were limits to the atrocities she could commit, apparently I was very wrong about that. "Wow! I always knew there was something strange about you, but I just didn't pin you as a full blown psychopath," I said with utmost spite."Uhm… your bad I guess, maybe you should have paid closer attention," she retorted. "Why would you do something like this?!" I asked. "Why do we do anything sweetheart…. For love! I'm doing this for love," she replied.Okay this girl was tripping. How am I connected to this when the so called reason she kidnap

    Chapter 21 Vanessa I eventually ate the food Mr Psycho provided even though I didn't want to, I was human after all and I know that starving myself would be of no help to me whatsoever. I needed my strength in case there was any opportunity of me escaping from here. There had to be a way around this and I will find it. I could not tell exactly how long I have been here but it was dark outside a few hours ago and now it was quite sunny, the little openings in the window made me aware of these tiny facts. I ate the food quite late, a long while after he brought it to me. Maybe I was trying to spite him because he was being too close and refused to give me any breathing space.He was literally right in front of me like I was going to vanish if he took his eyes off me for a second!He even volunteered to feed me after he made me know that he had no plans to untie me.

    Chapter 20Damon"How does it feel to lose the one you love?" These words kept on repeating in my mind like a broken record. It meant so much but at the same time revealed so little.One thing was for sure now though… this was certainly not about money. Whoever was behind this had a personal grudge but one which I could not actually decipher. It could no longer be ignored that I was at the center of all this. The note was addressed to me, that was quite obvious. Whoever did this knew about my feelings for Vanessa and it seems that was the main reason she was going through this ordeal. The handwriting on this note was a replica of the one in the previous note, so it was certain that this was from the kidnapper. This person was being vengeful but that was both scary and good. Scary because everything they did would be unpredictable and greatly influenced by emotion, but it was good because they were likely to make stupid quick decisions that would be to our favour.
