“There you are, I was looking for you.” Layla shook me out of my stare. I blinked tears away before I turned to face her.
“I'm sorry I was not honest about the party, I thought you moved on.”
“What are you talking about?” I pretended to be clueless.
“It is Clinton's party, and I didn't tell you because I thought you wouldn't come.”
"Oh, it's fine, like you said, I've moved on, I'm married, Layla,” I said, faking a smile.
“That does not answer my question, what am I doing here?” I asked. I was confused about how or why he decided to kidnap me when he was about to marry Sophia.“This is what I should have done years ago, I'm sure you could not have escaped then,” he said, setting me free. I jumped off the bed and stood to my feet. I looked around and realized we were in a hotel room.“So now what? You'll call my husband and show him pictures of us in a hotel, right?” I asked and looked down at my clothes. I realized he had changed me, as I was no longer in a dress but oversized pajamas.“I don't need to, you're my wife, or have you
When my nostrils took in his scent, I lost my senses. I haven't lost my senses for the past two years, even though Jun tried, Clinton didn't even have to try that much. When I felt his lips reaching mine, I pushed him off me and created a distance between us.“I need to use the bathroom,” I said. I watched him close his eyes and bite his lip in frustration, but that only lasted for a second as he shot his eyes open and smirked.“Do you want to brush your teeth before?” He took steps towards me, and I moved backward. It took courage to pull myself out of this, and I knew falling back into it would make it difficult to resist him.“No, now, bathroom, please,” I said, standing firm in my decision. He ran his hands through his hair before he pointed behind me. I turned my neck and saw the little door behind me. I turned to him to ask for soap and a toothbrush.“Everything you need is inside,” he said before I could even ask. He sounded distressed, he didn't expect me to reject him. I turn
“Wh—what nonsense is this?” I couldn't believe my ears. “They can't take my movies down, that's unacceptable.”“I'm glad they did, you were showing too much, and I didn't like the way that Minjun kept looking at you, ‘I'm so lucky to have you,’ does he know what I went through just to have you?”“Wait, are you behind this? Did you ask them to take down my movies?” I turned to him and pointed at him. He couldn't deny it, his face said it all. “How could you? This—this is my career?” I said pointing to the TV. “Career?” he laughed. “Since when has acting become your career? From what I remember, my wife is a lawyer—a good lawyer. I'm sure this acting was all Minjun’s doing,” he said. I looked at him, unable to say anything. I knew I would end up insulting him if I forced myself to say anything, so I focused on calming down and listening.“Did he force you?” he asked. I just looked at him with a confused face. “That bastard, how come I haven't come across you on the internet? Jardin sa
~CLINTON~ “What do you mean she threatened to kill Sophie?" She asked, and I closed my eyes regretfully. I wish I hadn't mentioned that because now the chance of her forgiving me is zero. “Don't mind, just know that Sophia tricked me, and I never cheated on you, I can never cheat on you,” I said and attempted to walk, but her next words stopped me. "Oh, really, is that how you got Sophie? By never cheating on me, huh?” She mocked me, and I shot my eyes open. How did she know about Sophie? I didn't dare move as I felt her footsteps. “You cheated on me years ago with Sophia, that's how you got Sophie,” she said. She was now in front of me, and I looked at her with guilt and didn't say a word. How was I going to explain to her that Sophia drugged me? She wouldn’t believe me, even if I tried. “But I forgave you for that because I also betrayed us with your nephew. What I will never forgive you for is the fact that you kept Sophie from me and kept seeing Sophia even after three years
~CLINTON~ “I couldn't work with her, she was untrusted.” “Because she refused to tell you where I went, I didn't tell her where I was going when I left, she didn't know anything only that I was leaving, she trusted you so much, and that's how you repaid her? Wow!” She shook her head. “I'm sorry, okay, I was confused. I just wanted you, and I took it out on her. If there is a way I could change this, then I would. I'm sorry,” I said and scratched my head. “There is a way to change it, go and apologize to her, she's the one you should apologize to, not me,” she said, pacing around. “I will do that, but can you please forgive me?” “Clint, I'm not the one...” “For keeping Sophie from you, for not being honest, for taking you away from the kids, please blame me for everything as long as you forgive me,” I pleaded. She stopped and looked at me, but that was just for a second as she continued pacing. “Please, I promise I will try harder this time. I promise to be honest and not keep
~JESSICA~I couldn't believe it. Loren called Clinton. Why?“Why?” I asked. He was the best person to answer this. Why would my sister help him?“She saw how depressed I was without you.”“And she sided with you, I was also depressed!” I yelled.“Please don't get angry, she wanted me to see the twins, I was not present at
“CLINTON! Are you kidding me?” I ran back to the bathroom. I needed to be sure because this didn't make sense. “Clinton?” I called his name again as I reached the shower area, but he wasn't there. My heart didn't stop beating, and I refused to believe he left me.I walked back to the bedroom and sat on the bed. I stared at the little note. Did he do this to take revenge on me for leaving him years ago? I asked myself."No, Jess, you're not going to cry, crying doesn't help, it's for the weak, and you're strong, he—he might have gone to the shops, yes,” I told myself and caressed my cheeks. They didn't have tears, but I wanted to be sure. I stood up and walked to the glass window. I stared outside for a second in the hope of seeing a plant. Plants always calmed me. I looked down but didn't see any. I unintentionally walked to the door, knowing it was locked. I touched the door handle, and it opened. Someone was by the door.“Good morning, Mrs. Clinton,” said one of the hotel staff. I n
They pulled away, Loren was quick, but Jun took his time. I took steps towards them, as I still didn't understand what was happening.“What's going on?” I asked as I reached the sofa and looked at their faces. Loren didn't look at me, while Jun, who didn't have any shame as I could make it up from his face, looked at me with disgust—the disgust I should be feeling.“Jun, Loren?” I called their names in a low tone."Oh, come o
