CHAPTER 6
Terakhir Diperbarui:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I come home late at night.
The house is dark and quiet. Something just feels bizarre. I switch on the lights.
Garry is seated at the little round dining table. Why is he seated in the dark? This guy is really weird.
He's eating meat. Is that raw meat? His mouth is red with blood. It's probably the meat.
Aunt Lucy and Pepper are nowhere to be seen. That's strange. I don't want to talk to Garry so I walk past him but he rises from the chair and grips my hand.
"Where do you think you're going!" he barks, twisting my hand. His hands are red with blood I can see and he's hurting me.

TRENT CHAPTER 7
I am having hot coffee.I'm seething in anger, the mug clutched tightly in my hand.How could aunt give Garry my address without asking me? Isn't it my house? I should approve of who comes to my house and who doesn't. Garry is definitely on the 'doesn't' list. And will forever be."It's a nice little house for us," he says looking around the house with a smug grin on his face.Everyone is shocked as they look up at him.Us?Garry chuckles. "I mean, it's a nice little house for us to gather as one happy family." he throws his hand around my aunt's shoulders. Aunt smiles as sh
TRENT CHAPTER 8
I step out of Josh's car.All this time I am praying that Trent is not at the party. The guy's mere presence just spoils my mood. Literally.Jesse's house is bigger. Bigger than Trent's. The layout of the house is open and spacious with a wide patio located just outside the door. Then there's the huge swimming pool. I love pools but I don't know how to swim. Groups of people are scattered everywhere, drinks clutched in their hands.Dax is walking beside me. I feel like throwing him to the pool and watch him drown. Bruna and Josh are holding hands as we enter the huge house.Music is blaring through the house, the noise shaking the whole building.Groups of pe
TRENT CHAPTER 9
Trent just had a shower.He is wet. His hair is wet. His brown creamy skin is wet. His kissable pink full lips are wet... The kiss last night...Why am I looking at his lips? And why am I thinking about the kiss last night? It was nothing. He made it clear. He just wanted to chase that crazy model away. That's all. But, was it?"You snore a lot," Trent snickers, walking to my closet in his usual erect manner. "And as if that's not enough, you sleep with your drooling mouth wide open. I'm sure your pillow is drenched in saliva."I bury my hands in my face, trying to hide embarrassment. Wait, he slept on my bed?I look up at him. "You
TRENT CHAPTER 10
Monday is here.I'm trekking to school with Troy beside me. He's not talked much since yesterday."What's up Troy?" I ask.Troy digs his hands in the black hoodie he's wearing. "I'm worried about the project that's all."I have a feeling he's lying."Come on, you're smart. Since when do projects bother you?""What do you think is bothering me?" he snaps suddenly. "the fact that you went out, got wasted and gave Trent the burden of driving you home. Why were you so irresponsible? Why didn't you tell me?"I knew something was up.
TRENT CHAPTER 11
I woke up early, had a cup of coffee and a quick shower.I slide into some ripped jeans, a baggy hoodie and a pair of sneakers. I'm going to be earlier than usual for today's class. Troy and I are strolling to school side by side. It's just ten minutes away."Did you ask Trent about his cousin?" Troy asks.I shake my head. Honestly, I have not been thinking about his mystery cousin. Maybe Trent made him up to avoid looking like he cared... I wouldn't be surprised if he did.Trent acted weird yesterday. What was that all about? Begging me to believe him and when I try to comfort him, he pulls away?"Did you know he got suspended?" I ask abruptly.
TRENT CHAPTER 12
Now that Trent is gone, I can snoop around every corner in his house.There is one particular room I want to get into.The Trophy Room.I want to know why he doesn't like it when people enter. Is it because it has too many gold medals and trophies that he thinks someone would be tempted to steal them?My curiosity gets the best of me as I rush upstairs and open the door to the trophy room. I wonder why Trent doesn't lock it If he doesn't want people inside.I get inside the room and I'm startled. It's just an empty room. Okay, it has hundreds of medals hanging on the wall and golden trophies placed on the shelves but the remaining middle p
TRENT CHAPTER 13
I'm not one to lose sleep but last night, it was so hard catching some sleep.The upcoming interview and how it will go. I'm starting to get more nervous than I expected. I would kill myself if I ruined it. But what pissed me off is that I was also thinking about him... Trent.Why does he treat me so badly? Why does he keep playing with my feelings? But most of all, why does he always say I'm too easy... Okay, I may be easy to get, but that's if I like you. But not too easy..."You ready?" Troy pokes his head on the door.I yawn as I tie my sneakers. "Yeah...""Did you sleep last night?" He laughs at me as he enters to wait for me.
TRENT CHAPTER 14
I knock the first time. No response. The second time. Still, no response. I'm fed up when I knock the third time and there's still no response. I know he's inside. And I know he's up because the lights are on. He's just ignoring me. "Troy! Troy!" I call out. No response. Okay! I'm done. I'm freezing outside trying to get a grown-ass man to stop sulking and talk to me. Fuck him for keeping me in the cold. Fuck me for allowing him to keep me in the cold.

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
