2024-10-29 19:42:56Ever since the tape came out, it's been just twists and turns which have blown my mind.
But this? Tim?
It doesn't make sense.
Why the hell would he kill Dax? Did he even know him? What's the motive? What did Dax do to him? All this just doesn't add up. There's just something missing.
Some minutes into the shocking news, I hear a knock on the door. I rush to open and Detective Trevor is standing next to another policeman.
"Ms Sterling, we need you to accompany us to the station for questioning about your former work colleague, Tim Stephens."
My heart skips a beat when h

I knew Bruna's dad is rich.But I didn't know the old guy was filthy rich to be precise.Bruna's car pulls up in a massive brilliant white mansion with huge glassy windows after she enters the password on the golden gate. It doesn't take long for her to drive through the gravel driveway on her way to the parking lot."Here we are!" She says in excitement.Through the drive, she didn't say much after revealing she suffered a miscarriage. She says the doctors told her the reason for the miscarriage was due to mental stress. She didn't say much on the mental stress part just that Josh and her were having some problems but they were working on it. For some reason, I don't believe that narrative.
TRENT << 22 >> The Ambulance
Bruna lets out a painful cry and starts shaking her dad hysterically.Our dad, to be precise. Our dead dad. A dad I wanted to patch up things with. A dad I wanted to give a chance to make up for all the years he was not around. A dad I wanted to spend time with together in his last days. That dad is lying there, lifeless. Dead.And there's nothing I can do about it but stare, my feet stuck on the ground. I can't move. I can't believe he's dead. Dead before being the father I wanted him to be. Dead before making up for all those lost years. Dead when I needed him the most.Bruna stops shaking his body and runs to me. She knocks me with an emotional embrace and sobs uncontrollably on my shoulder."He's dea

Honestly, what the hell is this freaking hot footballer doing just standing at the door staring at me?He should be with Sophie.The last time I saw him, he made it quite clear that he didn't want to see me and also, he said some pretty mean things.Trent steps in and warmly hugs me."Josh told me about your dad. I had to come right away... I'm so sorry..."What the heck is wrong with this guy? We are not cool. We are not an item. We are not together.

A lot of things come rushing in my head and before I can even utter a word, the shackles are on my wrists and the Detective is dragging me outside."But... but..." I stutter. "You have no evidence.Why am I being arrested?"Detective Trevor snickers."Tim finally revealed that you are the mastermind behind the murder.""What! That's not true. I had nothing to do with it."Detective Trevor grins at me."By now, you should know that I don't like you. And I don't care if you had anything to do with it or not."
TRENT << 25 >> Clara Clyde
A little flashback to the time this same woman, whom I loved and respected so much, stood in front of the press and slandered my name shamelessly.Remember that? Well, if you don't. I remember that so clearly. It's something that will never leave my mind. Her husband slandering my name was okay. But her? A person I adored so much? A person I looked up to since I was a kid? A person I considered a mother from another womb? I didn't expect that from her.But now, this same woman is standing in front of me while I'm behind bars, and I'm supposed to believe that she wants to help me? How? Why?"Why?"Diana winks her perfect lashes at me."Pardon?"

I met Clara Clyde back when I was a freshman.She was probably fifteen or sixteen when Dax invited me to their home. She had braces and used to wear round glasses with her long hair pulled up in a bun. Now she has this blonde hair tumbling down. The braces along with the glasses are gone.She looks prettier and more mature now.She stands up the minute I get in with Bruna behind me. She looks nervous and restless."Becca!" She comes over to hug me.That is strange. The media says I killed her brother and she is here hugging me so tightly and warmly."Clara." I hold her

And justice was served.Diana and her pathetic husband were arrested and rumour has it they will be sentenced to life imprisonment. I went to see Diana just the other day and I'm truly in love with this bitch they call karma. She's so good at her job I want to give her a promotion. Diana looked miserable in just a few days she was behind bars. She even begged me to help her as she helped me out. Ha! Ha! Ha!BBC gave me back my house and my car, which had been repossessed by the company after the leak. They even offered me my job back but I told the director to give me time to think about it.

"What the hell are you doing in my house?" Sophie looks at me in total shock. "Wait, this is your house?" "What? You don't think I can afford it?" I scoff. She huffs. "Look, I'm not here to fight with you or anything. I just heard noises from my house and I thought I could come and say hi to my neighbours. My new loud neighbours." Is this how idle this girl is? Noticing who is around and not around. She's so damn snoopy. Wait, did she just say neighbours? "Where do you live?" I ask,

TRENT Epilogue
CJ'S POVTearing Terra?What does that Even mean?Tearing Terra?To tear her apart is like tearing me apart. When she's hurt, I hurt. When her heart breaks, mine does too. Even when I tried so hard to torture her and cause her pain, at the end of the day, I would feel so bad about myself and completely drained. I would lie asleep at night, thinking about her and that would tear me apart.Tearing her apart tore me apart too.In short, I was not able to tear her apart like I had previously planned.I tried so hard to tear her apart but I was not able to.I wanted to stay away from her. See her suffer from a distance but I couldn't do that as well. I couldn't fucking stay away from her because I wanted to kiss her. Caress her. Tell her I had missed her. And it was so hard for me because I saw her on a daily... Saw that beautiful hair being flipped at meetings... That perfect sweet mouth curving up a happy smile at lunch... T

Three months laterCJ is gone.Everyday I wake up, I'm reminded of that.I don't wake up with him beside me anymore.It's honestly sad, gloomy and boring without him here.It's cold mornings like this that I wish he was here, lying next to me. Holding me so tight that I felt his warmth. I wouldn't be feeling this cold because we'd make some intense hot love that would leave us burning. That would force us to head to the shower to kill things off... In each other's arms.I miss him...Everyday, I miss him.I drag myself out of bed and head to the kitchen. I sit down to my cup of hot coffee, looking out the kitchen window. Morning mist, thick as smoke.It's going to be a long boring day.No plans whatsoever.It's
TRENT Don't you dare touch me!
"Don't tell me to calm down!"I yell at CJ.We just got back to town and everyone is acting okay and cool. Because it's not their only sister that has been kidnapped by the most dangerous serial killer I know.Their only sister that's pregnant.While I was having the time of my life, my sister was in suffering in the hands of the devil himself. That breaks my heart into pieces."Terra," Dee who just came in some few minutes ago says. "It has not been confirmed that it's Roman who kidnapped her..."I laugh sarcastically and bitterly. "Oh wow! That makes a lot of sense! I think she got lost on her way to the mall, don't you think?"Ren intrudes. "Terra, I think you have to relax-""Relax!" I scream. "Relax? My sister is in the hands of that evil monster and you're telling me to relax! How can I fucking relax! Who knows what the hell he's doing to her! Lord!"I fal

"Shit Eli! You scared us!"CJ and I are in a towel as we stare at both Eli and Zara from upstairs as they are downstairs."Biiiiiiiiiiiitch!" Zara shrieks. "So this' whatchu' been upto after some jail time! Lookatchu' being naughty!"I roll my eyes at her, concealing just how excited I am that she and Eli are here.It's going to be so much fun.The perfect way to escape from all the negativity and toxicity. I was drowning with everything that was going on. A part of me died slowly day by day.But this... This will be the perfect therapy.An old beach house with the man I love and two close friends.The perfect combo!Eli tosses himself on the couch as CJ resumes to the master bedroom that we slept in."Zara? Can you please come up?"I borrow a dress since I didn't carry any clothes. A few minutes later, I step out of my room with my hand in C
TRENT Just Us!
I knew this moment would come.But I swear to heavens, I was not prepared for it. I was not prepared to explain myself. I don't know if the answers I got are the right answers or if they are answers at all.I open my mouth to say something then I quickly shut up, careful with every word I'll say."Honestly, Cedric... I can blame it on a lot of things but they all come down to me. To my selfishness. It was me..."I take a deep breathe and continue."When I eloped to Russia, I did therapy because I couldn't live with what I had done to you. I had nightmares. I drank myself to sleep. Bars were my favorite spots. But therapy kind of helped me deal with what I had done in a positive manner and learn to live with myself."I swallow hard, nostalgic about those pretty dark days of my life." And through therapy, I learnt some things I didn't know about myself. I had severe anxiety. It's something I had lived with, yet didn't know
TRENT I'm sorry!
The sun is low on the sky when CJ opens the cab door for me.I step out into a stone circular driveway in front of a mansion and I look around blindly In awe.The view of the mansion in front of us is breathtaking. The house sits on a cliff above the ocean and the low sun sets the waves on fire.CJ leads me around the house, his bag on one hand as he holds my hand with the other. We walk along the edge of a large blue pool and towards a furnished pool house.At the doorstep, is a large porcelain pot. CJ bends it over and takes a key under.CJ opens the door and I step inside to an old classic living room with artistic old paintings on the cream walls and one-armed sofas with hundreds of pillows. The table in the middle is wooden and seems like an expensive old furniture that has seen the best of years.Underneath the sofas, lays a Persian rug and just in front of the decor, sits a huge fireplace.&nbs
TRENT That man is not me!
Present day..."He killed his friend?"I nod my head sadly. "Then he forced me to clean up for him and drag the body to the basement."Honestly, that was it for me.I didn't care if he threatened me anymore.I had to leave him. And leave him right away.If he could kill Oscar that quick within a snap of a finger just because of some argument, I wonder what he'd do to me?There's no way I'd sit and wait to see what he'd do to me... I had to leave!"So you stole his packaged drugs and sold them?" asks CJ."Yes, to a guy he despiced. Osborne. Some rich tycoon and I sold it at a very cheap price because I needed to fly away..."CJ looks at me in worry. "It must have been hard for you...""Yes... Especially because I had to stay in h
