2024-10-29 19:42:56Trent alights the car and bangs the door.
He waves at everyone as he goes to the other side of the car. He opens the door for Stupid Sophie.
Sophie is in a luminous green dress that's glittery with her entire back left for everyone to see. Her silver heels make her look taller than she is.
Trent has her hand tucked under his arm when they step out of the car. She is grinning and laughing and he's looking at her like she means the world to him. The sight of them in each other's arms breaks my heart. It's the first time I am seeing them together in a long time.
"Trent!" Jesse, Kyle and the other guys are so excited to see him.

For a bizarre moment, everything goes into slow motion and my mind goes blank trying to digest what he just said.Did he just say Sophie is the reason he came here in the first place? Not me? Sophie? He came to my small barbecue party just because his stupid girlfriend had insisted? This honestly hurts more than a stake in the heart of a vampire. I feel all the colour draining from my face.I feel Kyle's hand squeeze mine, then he turns to look at Trent."Trent, you are a good friend of mine. But the same way you would not want to see Sophie get disrespected is the same way I wouldn't want you disrespecting Becca."He glances at me then at Trent.

I storm into my house and immediately rip off the chitenge dress I was wearing.Now I am walking in my black bra and thong. I take off my heels and rush to my room to take a pair of scissors.I cut up the dress into small pieces cussing at Trent at the top of my voice. When the dress is in complete tatters, I leave it on the floor and go to my dresser table. I take all the beaded bangles and necklaces Trent bought me from Kenya and hurl them at the floor. I open my closet and grab all the jerseys and shorts he once bought me and throw them on the floor. I also don't forget the midnight blue dress he bought me for Jesse's proposal party. I cut it into pieces using a pair of scissors.

The next day when I come to work, I expect that Mr Dankworth has already fired me.But he hasn't.I'm relieved to know he didn't have the balls to fire me after all that I said to him yesterday. He's a pathetic disgusting man and he deserves to be anywhere but in the office. He deserves to be behind bars. I wonder how Diana Dankworth, a classy self-driven phenomenal woman like her could fall for such a shell of a man.I enter the newsroom and join Sarah Stone on the desk. When I see her, I remember all the times she's been telling me about this 'he' and about just how naive I am. Yet all along, it's Dan Dankworth she was talking about.But I remember her words yesterday and something doesn't add up

Tim enters my office some minutes after the pathetic old guy leaves my office. I really can't stand Mr. Dankworth."Morning Becks."Tim looks like he's in a really good mood today."Morning..." I mutter. The old man just spoiled my mood completely.Tim swings on my swivel chair with this coy grin on his face."What?""you and the boss? I thought it's a one time thing... Are you that sweet?"What!"What do you mean?""You know what I mean. I mean, how were you able to get the promotion?"I haven't touched the coffee on my desk. It's probably not that hot, probably lukewarm. I take the mug and spill the coffee on his face."Next time you say something so disgusting in my face, think twice."Tim stands from the chair wanting to hit me but I point my finger at him, scowl

I swear I'm in hell right now.Who said hell comes when you are dead? It comes when you are alive to kill you. And here it is, drenching the life out of me.And all I can do is reach for my swivel chair immediately before my feeble feet collapse and I fall flat on the ground."Is this you? Or did someone just make it to tarnish your name?"My mouth suddenly runs dry and I can't find the right words to get out of my mouth. I don't even have the strength to say anything. My whole body is trembling and I'm just clenching my hands, staring at Tim."Oh my God! It's you? "All I can do when h

A smile forms on my face as I look at her. I just can't believe she would take my side over her husband's. Some people on earth are walking angels. "She's a cheap woman!" Diana states. What! "My husband has been complaining how she tried to seduce him ever since he promoted her as a way to tell him Thankyou." Diana spins her head to look at me and wags a finger at me. "She's a pretentious homewrecker who is a bad role model to society. The leak of the sex tape shows us her true colours and I'm glad it's out in the open for everybody to see her for who she truly is. An immoral whore!"

Fordingbridge is just as I remember it.A small quiet town in New Forest, the county of Hampshire, with beautiful scenery of green streams and the bridge, hence the name Fordingbridge.This is the town I grew up in.A small quiet country town where I made friends, most of whom are just acquaintances now. Most of them got married and have kids now. Most of them wanted to stay here and not explore life outside Fordingbridge.But I had always been different. I always wanted something different. Despite me loving Fordingbridge, I always felt like I didn't belong here. Always felt like there's a world waiting for me outside this small country town. And now I'm back.

I leave the suitcase on the staircase and rush to the door to see who this mysterious man is.I'm flabbergasted by who I see standing at the doorstep."Kyle!"He smiles at me, digging his hands into the pockets of his pants like some popular high-school adolescent."Rebecca.""I'm the only one who calls her Rebecca." Grammy states, still scowling at him."I'm sorry, Grandma," says Kyle."The nerve!" Grammy snaps. "Have you heard what he just called me? A beautiful young woman like me who is ageing gracefully hence

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

"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

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
