Aldrich Timber
The drive to the club felt longer than it usually was. I had different thoughts running through my mind as I sped down the highway.What if she has no idea where Chelsea is?This particular thought kept pricking my mind, and I could help the negative thought that flooded my brain.Well when we get to the bridge, we will know how to cross it.After minutes of driving and navigating the way to the club, my tires screeched, bringing my car to a halt in front of the club.With nervous steps, I made my way towards the entrance, going in. Neon lights flickered, casting shifting shadows.The bass of the music playing in the club thumped loudly, matching the rhythm of my nervous heart. The air was thick with a mixture of sweat and perfumes as I navigated my way through the sea of dancing bodies.I made my way towards the bar, using my eyes to scan the place for the girl, but I couldn't find her.Chelsea Engels I could've sworn my soul had left my body and came back in a few seconds. I could've sworn my heart stopped beating as I noticed it. When I looked down again, my heart skipped another beat, and a cold wave of terror washed over me. Blood. Crimson droplets trickled down my thighs, staining the milky colour of my skin. Panic coursed through my veins, threatening to decapitate my thinking ability.All my rational thoughts eluded me as fear gripped me tightly. My hands trembled as I reached down, my fingers coming away stained with crimson as I swiped my hands across the liquid just to be sure it was blood. Tears welled in my eyes as I struggled to comprehend what was happening.The fall I had in the bathroom suddenly felt insignificant compared to the horror of what was unfolding before me. Different thoughts raced through my mind, each one more terrifying than the last. Is this the end?Is my baby still okay?Is
Aldrich Timber The room spun around me as I stumbled through the club, my senses dulled by the alcohol coursing through my veins. She dragged me along with her, and I followed like a sacrificial lamb.I wasn't completely drunk, but I couldn't really walk properly without swerving. She was beautiful, I wouldn't lie. She had the same body features as Chelsea, and it looked like they almost had the same face. I don't know. I shouldn't have taken this much alcohol. As she dragged me along, I paused in my tracks, trying to make sense of the situation I was in.A lot of things don't make sense right now.“Is something wrong?” She asked, as she turned back to look at me. I remained dazed as I stared at her, I could almost swear that she was Chelsea.“Chel.” The name subconsciously slipped from my mouth as I closed my eyes and shook my head slightly, trying to get rid of the influence of the alcohol. Her eyes flew wide with s
Chelsea I kept pounding on the door with all the strength I could muster, my fists bruising against the unyielding surface. "Please, someone help me! Anyone, please" I cried out, my voice raw with desperation. But there was no response, only the hollow echo of my own pleas bouncing off the walls of the house.Tears blurred my vision as I pounded again and again, the sound reverberating in the silence like a desperate plea for salvation. My palm and knuckles were now bruised from pounding on the door for too long and too hard. I backed away from the door and in defeat I headed further into the room.Did I hear wrongly?And then, finally, I heard it again: the sound of footsteps approaching, faint but unmistakable. Relief flooded through me all over again, momentarily overpowering the fear that had gripped me for what felt like an eternity.Do I finally get the help I've been desperate for? Do I get to finally save
Aldrich Timber It kept replaying in my head.As her hands gripped my shoulders with an aggressive insistence, I felt a surge of anger coursing heavily through my veins. "Stop," I growled, my voice low and a bit unsteady, but she paid no heed, her intentions clear as she pressed herself against me again, trying to force her lips on mine.With a sudden burst of frustration, I pushed her away, my movements fueled by a primal instinct to protect myself from her unwanted advances, my body and mind belonged to Chelsea and no one could take them away from her. But as she stumbled backward, her balance faltered.She hit her head with a sickening thud, the sound echoing through the room like a haunting melody. Time seemed to slow to a crawl as I watched her crumple to the ground, her body instantly going limp and unmoving.What just happened?My heart dropped to my stomach at the sickening realization of what I might've done, what I had done. Shock ripped through my body, rendering me moment
Chelsea Engels As the silence of the empty hallway was shattered by the faint sound of footsteps echoing in the distance, my heart leaped with a surge of hope. I strained my ears again, hoping to catch every sound, desperate for any and all signs of salvation.Again, I heard footsteps, confirming that my ears weren't playing tricks on me. I slowly approached the door, as the jingling of keys reached my ears, a ray of hope in the midst of despair. Relief flooded my entire being, washing away the fear and uncertainty that had gripped me for what felt like an eternity. Finally, the doorknob twisted, and the door gave way for who was standing behind the door. “What the fuck happened while I was gone?” He asked as he saw the horrible state I had left the house in. I gave him no reply as I desperately wanted to get to the hospital. Walking towards him, I attempted to push him out of the way and head out since he was blocking the entrance, but he stopped me.“Woah, woah, woah, Where do
Aldrich Timber My whole world was in chaos, my whole world was unsettled, caused by someone I never knew existed until that hour at the club. The regrets that were coursing through my veins were almost as if they renewed every single second she remained in that operation room.I paced the brightly lit hallway of the hospital, my footsteps echoing off the sterile walls. Each step felt heavier than the last, weighed down by the uncertainty that hung in the air like a thick fog. She has to survive, she fucking has to!My mind raced with worry, thoughts tumbling over one another in a chaotic jumble. Is she going to be okay? No, she will be okay.But what if I had been too late, what if my actions had caused irreparable harm?Think positive Aldrich, only positive.I glanced at the closed door leading to the room where they were tending to her, willing it to open and release me from the torment of waiting
Chelsea Engels The words Mark said hung in the air like a heavy fog, suffocating me with their crushing weight. I couldn't believe what I had just heard, couldn't comprehend the cruelty in his voice. Denial courses through my veins in a desperate attempt to cling on to the shattered fragments of this reality."No," I whispered, the word barely escaping my lips as I recoiled from his callousness. He wouldn't be this cruel!"You can't mean that. You don't mean that!" Desperation and denial were evident in my voice as I tried to make sense of what slipped from his mouth. Yes, I don't want to believe he said it of his own conscious mind, it slipped from his mouth. But his expression remained unchanged as he stared at me with hard eyes. I still wanted so bad to believe that my ears were probably deceiving me, and I was hearing things.“You heard me clean and clear Chelsea. I don't care what the situation is, I don't care
Chelsea EngelsHow did I end up finding myself in this kind of situation?That was the first question that popped up in my mind when Mark said he was going to call a doctor over rather than let me make a short trip to the hospital. I had expended all my emotions at this point: Shock, disbelief, desperation, frustration, and there was only this much anger left in me. One would think with the way he almost choked me to death, I would be scared to give another opinion. I stared at him, thinking of what next to say to him as I wasn't backing down from going to the hospital.Maybe if I get the chance I'll use that as an escape route from all this madness and this monster.“I always asked myself why I was never attracted to you, despite all the crazy puppy love you showed to me, now I know why.”“Chelsea….” He called, attempting to say something, but I didn't give him the chance to finish as I cut him short.“It’s b
Aldrich TimbersI gawked at Chelsea as she kept playing like a baby in the park with Anita. After much debating, we finally agreed on coming to the park.I'm glad she was smiling again. Chelsea really went through a whole lot for the past few weeks. There are night I feel hurt that I wasn't able to protect our baby. There are times that I kept wishing I was the one who took that bullet instead of Chelsea.“What are you thinking?” I almost flinched when I heard a voice and I turned to see Mum beside me. I smiled at her as I leaned into her and rest my head on her chest like a mommy's boy.“Mum?” I suddenly called.“I'm all ears, son” Mum replied.“Do you think I wasn't good enough to protect our baby? Do you think if I had taken the bullet our baby would still be here?” I asked mindlessly. Mum raised my head from her chest as she stared at me.“Are you serious? Do you think you had taken that bullet you'll be here? Don't blame yourself for what had happened. It's all in the past, focu
Chelsea Engels Days turned to weeks, and today was the final hearing of Rita's case in the law court. I was in my room preparing when Mum came in.“Are you ready, sweetheart?” Mum asked and I gave her a nod.“Of course” I replied. Why wouldn't I be happy?My thirst to see Rita sent to jail filled me that every single day I pray the court grants our request. Rita has to pay whether she likes it or not. I heard about her loosing her baby too, and I thanked God that she was also going through what I was going through.Karma would teach her a lesson that she'll never even live to tell the story.I finished dressing up as I wore my flat sandals before picking up my purse and bag.“Let's leave?” Mum smiled at me and I smiled back.“Yeah” I said. At least I was recovering. I wasn't my old self anymore, things really changes, don't they?We walked downstairs to meet Dad, Aldrich and Anita waiting patiently for us. Aldrich rushed to me when he saw me and I smiled as I took my hands in his.“
Chelsea EnglesDays Later.After getting healed and treated at the hospital, the doctors advised me to stay back and rest but I ignored. I needed to go home. I hated the smell of hospital, and staying there longer only make me hate it the more.Aldrich brought us back home, mum and dad was with me as they kept telling me things to make smile and laugh again but I found it hard to do so. Not after my life was ruined.What I had scared most came to past. We enjoyed resumed back home and I was welcomed with a surprise from Anita and the other residents.“Welcome back home, Chelsea!!!” They all screamed including Aldrich and tears filled my eyes as I watched how happy they looked.How can they still be happy after everything that happened and I find it difficult to move on.“Chelsea?” Anita walked over to me, handling a velvet box to me which I slowly took.I opened it to see a golden necklace.“This was my gift I planned to give you after your wedding” She smiled to me, and I smiled sadl
Rita HayworthI watched as the cops took me to their car. I knew this was the end for me, no one needed to tell me that.I lowered my head as they kept walking me to their cars. I met other cops outside, seems like they all planned to get me today.“Get in!” One of them pushed me in and I groaned as I entered into the car as two others say beside me.Tears fell from the sides of my eyes whenever I remember loosing my baby. Justin would kill me if he finds out about this, and that's why I need to act fast.The cop ignited the car as he drove away. We were already in the middle of the road when I came up with something.“Um, I'm pressed” I suddenly muttered, and the two other cops beside me glared at themselves.“He'll escort you” The one who looked like the elder one said, pointing at the younger one behind me.“We'll go into the bush and in less than two minutes you must be done” He added and I nodded gently.They pulled the car to a stop as the younger coo escorted me to the bushes.
Aldrich TimbersI kept pacing to and fro, trying to keep my mind a focus but the scene of Chelsea getting shot by Rita flowed through me.The doctors were still inside the Emergency room. I won't forgive myself if anything happens to Chelsea in there.I won't give a damn about suing this hospital for not doing their proper jobs.“You have to calm down, Aldrich. All will be fine” I heard dad say behind me.“All will be well? Do you think so? Chelsea is in there fighting for her life! You know her condition” I cried out.“I understand, she's my daughter too. Do you think I want to see her in this position too? Let's just hope for the best” Dad replied, and that moment, Mum came rushing towards us.“Mum!” I exclaimed as I pulled her into a hug, crying on her shoulders. I couldn't hold it anymore. I felt like tearing up.“Shh. Don't say a thing, son. Don't say a thing” Mum whispered as she slowly patted my hair and I sniffed again.I raised my head up before pulling away from the hug. “Ho
Chelsea Engels I stood still in front of the reflecting mirror as I stared at my expensive wedding dress. Today had finally come and I have never been scared as this all my life.Despite my preggy state, the dress huged my body, bringing out my curves. This is it, just a simple wedding as this. In few minutes time I'll finally become Mrs Timbers and not Engles.Who would have thought a step brother's and step sister's love will transpire to this level? After all things, Adrich and I still conquered.The thought of everything brought tears to my eyes and I quickly wiped it off so my makeup won't get ruined. Here I was, about crying my eyes when everyone must have been waiting for me.I glanced at the door when it creaked open and Anita walked in. “Don't tell me you want to tear up now? Don't ruin your makeup” She said, going towards me as she helped adjust my gown.“No, I won't. At least not today” I muttered and chuckled.“You look beautiful” Anita complimented, and I smiled to the
Chelsea Engels “Good to hear that you're ready” Mum muttered.“I've always been waiting for tomorrow to come” I replied and Anita chuckled.“Alright, so shall we go to the cosmetics? To get things you might need for your makeup” Anita remarked.“Make up? What do I need makeup for when I'm already pretty” I moved the strands of my hair to the side and rolled my eyes.Anita rolled back at me.“We know you're pretty, stop fanning it at our faces but still, you might still need makeup for that day... Tomorrow is for you so you need to look good and sexy that when Aldrich sees you, he'll go crazy” Anita demonstrated and I couldn't resist the urge to laugh.“Anita is right. We need to go get your makeup” Mum interjected.“Okay Mum. But I can't go with you guys right now, I'm feeling tired already. My tummy is heavy and I'm finding difficulty to walk right now” I replied.“It's alright. You can stay back and rest. Anita and I will go instead” Mum said, patting my hair softly and I gave a sm
Chelsea Engels I had woken up the next morning, expecting to see Aldrich beside me since he slept beside me last night but surprisingly, he wasn't.I was done with my stuffs so ai moved downstairs to see Anita serving dishes in the dinning.“Anita?” I called when I saw and she looked up at me.“Oh, you're up already. It took you long enough” She chuckled and I smiled."Huh, did you see Aldrich?" I asked.“Oh, he's actually in the kitchen. He's the one making breakfast this morning” Anita replied and my eyes widened.What?! Aldrich was making meal for us to eat? Does he want to poison us or something?“But he can't cook... He'll poison us” I drawed and Anita urged me to rest my ass and forced me to sit down.“He isn't going to do such thing. I'd say you just sit and wait for him a while. C'mon, I've taught him how to cook so I'm sure he'll be great” She assured me and I gave a sickly smile as I waited anxiously.Soon, Aldrich came in with different dishes in his hands and I couldn't h
Rita Hayworth“That was so fun, wasn't it?” I asked as Rochelle and I walked inside, our laughter filling the mansion.“Ma'am is there something funny?” I turned to see Claire smiling at me and I gave her a light smile.“No Claire” I waved off and she smiled again before walking away.Rochelle sat down on the couch as she drank from her cognac.“It was really fun... That ride was one of a kind” Rochelle replied and I nodded in agreement.“Yep!”“But you know what?” She suddenly said, sitting upright to look at me.“What?” I asked eagerly.“Is the fact that we couldn't give Chelsea a taste of our medicine. Aldrich came out of nowhere to protect her” She replied and frowned. I sighed as I rubbed my temple.“She has really charmed him, but I don't know the kind of drugs she used on him. I mean, I'm more pretty than her. I have ass, I have boobs, I have everything so why can't he go for me again?”
