TRENT'S POV
18 months ago,
I have a date with Becca tonight.
Our relationship has been rocky the past few months since Sophie came back. But I am ying to make things work with Becca no matter what. I can't lose her. I can't imagine ever losing her. Not now. Not ever.
Becca has been having trust issues lately because Sophie and I hang out a lot ever since she came back. But she has to understand. I have known Sophie all my life and she will forever hold a place in my heart no matter what. I'm the reason she went through abortion at such a tender age. Yes, I know it was all my dad's doing but I should have done something about it. I should have protected her against my dad.
BACK TO BECCABruna just left me and Tyrone alone.She didn't want to leave in fear that he might harm me but I assured her I'm okay and if he dared hurt me, she had the right to kill him.Tyrone is still looking around at every corner in my house. I wonder what's going on in his head. Perhaps he's looking for a weapon or something to kill me in my own house. Strangely, he didn't come with his bodyguards.Tyrone looks at me, not smirking, no frosty grin on his face, just a genuinely beautiful smile. Reminds me of Trent."Nice house."I sigh and look him straight in the eye.&nb
"Good morning England!"I start the show with a big, fake smile."Today I'm joined by the... The very beautiful and talented actress, Sophie Saffron who has a new movie, HAUNTED, is out in theatres next week."I plaster a smile as I turn to her."Hello, Sophie.""Hi, Becca Sterling.""Nice to have you."She grins."Thanks for having me.""So tell us more about 'Haunted' The movie."
Trent is trembling with an unconscious body in his hands...Sophie Saffron.She's unconscious, her head on Trent's shoulders and foam coming out of her mouth. Oh my God! What the hell happened to her?"Please can I borrow your car? I need to rush Sophie to the hospital."I don't hesitate or say a word. I rush back to the house and grab my car keys leaving Pepper confused."I will drive you."We climb into the car, Trent and I are seated at the front with Sophie, unconscious lying in the back."What's wrong with her?" I as
Do you remember me saying I'll mind my business and stay out of the Trent-Sophie-Tyrone Triangle?Yeah, that's exactly what I did last night.After taking my car keys from Sophie's room, I went back home after wishing Trent a goodnight. He said the police have already arrested Tyrone. I hope he rots in jail forever for trying to kill someone innocent. And to even send someone to finish her off in the hospital. Tyrone is sick! He's so obsessed with Trent's career that he would go to any limits. Even to take someone's life. It's sad... Sad.But as I said before, I'll step back and watch the whole scenario play out.Something I was glad about seeing is how much Trent loves and cares for Sophie.
Elliott opens the door for me and stretches his hand out to me.I reach for his hand and step out in black sandal heels like a lady.I'm blown away by the glass-walled hotel which is glowing in the dark. Like glowing. I walk in the white one shoulder silky dress that Kyle bought me and send it as a package. Believe me, it's GORGEOUS! I've not felt this beautiful in a long long time. I love the rhythm of my heels as I walk on the pathway of the hotel, my head held up high.Sadly, there is no single person I spot who can take the time to adore my beauty. Wait, that's strange? Why isn't there a single person in the compound?I shrug that off as I continue to walk. My heart stops as I climb the stairs.
Never in a million years could I have thought that I would be attending Trent's wedding as the best maid. If you would have asked, I would have said I would be the bride, but the best maid of his dead girlfriend? No.Strangely, her parents are not here for her big day. I know for a fact they don't support this marriage if they even know about it at all. I still feel that Sophie is putting herself in danger. Who knows what Tyrone will do to her. He might be in jail but that doesn't mean he's gone forever.The green open area Sophie picked as the venue is beautiful. The pink and white flowers are nicely decorated and arranged in golden stands. Yea, the theme for the wedding is pink and white. I find it strange that Sophie picked pink as the theme yet she said some days ago how much she hates the colour.
Luckily, Trent hides in one of the toilets before his wife widely opens the door.Sophie smiles at me after she hangs up on the phone. Strange enough, she pulls me in a warm hug and places her head on my shoulder."Thanks for everything Becca," she says softly. "You don't know how much that means to me.""It's nothing..."Sophie looks at me."It means everything to me, Becca.""Don't mention it..."Sophie gets into one of the toilets and I want to flee. But I just can't until Sophie leaves without noticing Trent was h
The police are inside trying to find anything that may lead them to the identity of the burglar. They asked me to clarify if anything is missing. Surprisingly, nothing is missing. This is not a case of theft or robbery. But why? Why break into my house without stealing anything. What's the motive?I go to my bedroom to check if there's anything stolen. Just opening the door, I'm shocked. The painting Trent gave me as a gift has been destroyed, the remains scattered on the floor. I left my bed neat but the cold monster threw the duvet and sheets on the floor and tore some of my pillows into pieces. I look around my messy bedroom and all I can see is RAGE. All this must have been done by a person full of rage. So much rage. I turn to go to the living room to talk to the police when something catches my eye.Red paint smeared acro

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
"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
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
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
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
