2024-10-29 19:42:56Josh is strangling Bruna.
Bruna's right cheek is swollen and she has a black eye. I expect Josh to let her go on seeing me but surprisingly, he even strangles her more, glaring at me.
"Get out!" He roars.
"Let my sister go!" I demand.
"This is between me and my wife. Mind your business!"
"That's my sister you are hurting. It's my business!" I snort as I step in. "Let her go!" Psycho!
Josh snickers and turns to look at Bruna. I think he's going to stop but he proves me wrong when he even strangles her harder. Bruna is now choking... She's choking blood...

The hospital makes me sick.The smell of diseases and drugs hanging in the air. The rude nurses swing their butts along the hallway as they follow the serious doctors.This is the same hospital I was admitted to when Dean shot me. That's why it makes me sick. It has a nostalgic feel to it. It reminds me of the pain I went through in the merciless hands of Garry. It reminds me of the lonely bed I used to lie on for hours. And what I hate most is that it reminds me of Trent. He's the last person I want to think of now but this hospital forces me to. My mind flashes back to the time I was lying sick on the bed and he held my hand affectionately, showing he was there for me. Assuring me all will be well. I recall the regular visits to bring me fries or yoghurt or whatever. The thought of it just makes me smile.

After saying that, Bruna requests everyone to leave me in the room with her.She must have something important to tell me."I'm not saying what Josh has been doing to me is right," Bruna says in a weak voice. "But he has his reasons.""Bruna, that's not-""Please let me talk," she says softly. "When I'm done telling you everything, you can talk. Okay?"I keep my lips tight and listen keenly."Josh has been wanting kids since forever. I've always wanted to have kids too with him. But it's not something that I'm about. Even if possible, I could choose to stay forever without having to giv

I hop out of the bed not believing what Pepper just said.I push back my curls in frustration and stare at the mirror."You did what!""I invited Trent," she repeats shamelessly.She's not even sorry about it."Pepper, you know I'm not on good terms with him!" I scream."Calm down girl," she says softly. "It's not me that's on bad terms with him.""But you are my cousin. You should respect me enough not to invite my ex who dumped me to an event you know I can't miss. Why the fuck would you go behind my back and do that?"

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

TRENT Good in the kitchen
"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
