Terakhir Diperbarui:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I bolt out of the house, my heart pounding.
Trent is not okay. I don't say a word to Grammy coz Trent's life is in danger, and there's no time for stories. He's stranded in a gas station and he's given me the direction already.
I find a motorbike just outside Nate's door. I don't care to borrow it and thank God I learnt how to ride a bike. Dax taught me. I speed off without thinking twice and I hear Grammy call my name but I can't look back. Trent is stranded right now and he needs my help.
I get to the gas station within twenty minutes. I stop the bike and leap. I don't see Trent anywhere. It's just an old man standing stiff, smoking a cigarette.
"Are you Becca?"

TRENT CHAPTER 28
I'm taken aback by what he says. What is that supposed to mean?"If he sees that I have this bandage, he will dig deep until he finds out that... That it's you I drove home last night. Then he'll assume that I have feelings for you...""Trent!"His dad bangs the door this time. We can hear the faint voice in the room."So, what will we do?""I should hide in my room, then you'll go open the door for him. Tell him I'm not in..."I'm in silence, confused."Stop thinking! Go!"I run
TRENT CHAPTER 29
The park covers a wide area that could fill a mansion or two.It's quite hilly with a tall tree or two near one hill. There are benches for people to sit in although they are all empty. Except for an old couple that's sitting on one bench enjoying the view. Flower hedges and bushes grew all around making the bush look more attractive.Trent and I sit beside the small river, flowing gently. It amuses me that the water is so clean that you can see the pebbles underneath. I open the dish full of ice cream and scoop some. Damn! This ice cream is so sweet. I can't get enough of it."Thank you..." Trent says out of nowhere."Thank you for what?"He smiles. "for e
TRENT CHAPTER 30
I hop from the bike after Troy climbs off and walks to his house. I put the bike back from where I stole it and sneak into the house before I'm caught returning it."Thief!" A voice barks.I leap back in shock only to see Nate's face through the curtain."You scared me!""Next time, just borrow."Thank God he doesn't create a scene. Drama is the last thing I need right now. Yea, I know it was mannerless of me to just take his bike and speed off with it like that. But I had to... I had to save Trent. A choice I regret by the way.I walk back to my house and find Grammy waiting for me. She's pa
TRENT CHAPTER 31
Trent is unconscious. He's restless. He's breathing hard. I don't know why the doctor said he's okay but he's not okay. And he's calling my name. That melts my heart. He's calling me. I'm the one he always calls in time of need.I grip his arm tight and I don't care if his cousin and his dad are standing beside me, staring at me. Trent suddenly opens his eyes and relief washes over me. Believe me, I've never been so relieved to see someone open their eyes. And that feeling scares the shit out of me. I shouldn't feel anything for Trent.Trent glimpses at me sweetly and you can tell his vision is a blur. He blinks twice then looks around the room. He freezes at the sight of his dad, then looks at me again. This time, angrily. Typical Trent is back.Trent snatches his hand from
TRENT CHAPTER 32
I am glad the shades and the baseball cap completely hide my identity.Yes, I want to be famous someday. But not the kind of fame you get when you are linked with a celebrity. But the kind of fame you get for acknowledgement of your work.Tyrone is glaring at Trent and I honestly don't know why he's getting all worked up. Trent can hang out with whomever he pleases because he's over eighteen for chrissake.Trent looks at me and I can see fear in his eyes. Why does he fear Tyrone so much? He then turns to look at his dad."She's nobody... Just a friend..."I'm nobody?"I hope that you're
TRENT CHAPTER 33
It's been a whole week now and Trent is still giving me the silent treatment.He's always in the trophy room these days. I. wonder what he does there. And if not, he works out in the gym in his house or plays video games when Jesse and Marcus come over. I've gotten used to this and it's fine. If this is how he wants us to live, cool.School is great these days. I got over Danna Fox's death. And guess what, Troy has a girlfriend, Jenna, who looks like a geek with her round glasses and baggy jeans. Her long ebony hair is always tied in a bun on top of her head. She's cute though.So at the cafeteria the following week, Troy doesn't join us at our table. He's gone to finish his assignment at Jenna's. Rumours on the street have it that Jenna's dad is filthy rich so you can
TRENT CHAPTER 34
"What! That can't be! He's Garry Hook."Nate narrows his eyes."Garry Hook died a year ago... He was the owner of Garry Hook Bar & Grill.""Exactly!" I sit beside him. "And that's his grandson."He lets out a small smile. "I'm his grandson... Though I was not interested in taking up his properties. Neither did my family. So I guess Todd took advantage of that..."Okay, this is all so much to digest right now. What? We've been living with an impostor all this time."He's not a good guy, Becca," he tells me. "You should stay as far away from him as possible. He's trouble in the flesh."&nbs
TRENT CHAPTER 35
Just when I thought this whole Garry situation couldn't get worse, Nate proves that the creep is worse than we thought.From a few friends and of course, his mother who was a victim of Garry, Nate was able to find out who Garry is. His real name is Tom Taylor. He was first put in jail for child molestation when he was just a teenager. He raped a 3-year old girl and as if it doesn't get even sicker, he sodomized a 5-year old boy. He did all this at sixteen when he lived with his mother in a small town called Springville. But fortunately for him, he was diagnosed with some mental illness so he was able to escape as a juvenile. After high school, he moved to Manchester where he changed his identity to Todd Gamble. And when the police in Manchester started paying close attention to him and got closer to his footsteps, he decided to start afresh in Liverpool, where he became Garry Hook.

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
