I quickly switch off the TV and go to bed.
I'm not going to think a lot about this.
I should catch some sleep since I'm still having my exams.
I won't talk to Trent.
I won't ask him. I'm honestly so tired of this. He should have at least said he has a girlfriend. It's not like I wanted him to say, Becca Sterling. I just wanted him to say he has a girlfriend and he's not single.
Ugh! I wish I didn't watch the interview.
I fall on the bed and cover myself up in the duvet.
So I was able to sleep. I wake up and quickly
Trent manages to stand on his feet with the help of the first aiders.Tyrone is inside the pitch, talking to the first aiders and Trent. He is glaring, probably nagging him. Wait, is he seriously blaming his son for this?This is not Trent's fault. If anything, he is the victim in this situation. He's the one that got kicked to the ground. He's the one that got hurt. We all witnessed it. So, why is Tyrone acting like it's his fault?The referee blows the whistle and the players are back in position.Trent is left on the pitch. I wonder if he will continue playing well even after getting hurt. He seems like he's in a lot of pain but is still straining to play.
It melts my heart to hear him say that.Trent and I talk some more about everything and nothing in particular. I put an end to the call after wishing him a good night. He jokes that no nights are good without me. He is really sweet these days.I put my laptop on my lap and start to revise for my final exams tomorrow. We are breaking for the holidays tomorrow but this time, it will be different. I won't be going to Hampshire to crush at Grammy's. I'll be working on the show I'm hosting. I'm sure she won't be too pleased and I'm going to miss her like crazy.Talking of the show, it will premiere tomorrow night on Pixel Tv. Can't wait for people to see me as a host. This is what I've always wanted. Grandma and aunt are going to be so proud of me.
Tyrone turns to look at Trent with a devious grin."Tell me she's lying."Trent opens his mouth to say something but then tightens his lips. Is he going to deny what I just said?"Speak the fuck up Trent!" Tyrone hisses.He looks up from the ground."Yes, she is."He snickers."He just said you are lying. Get out of my sight. I never want to see your pathetic face again! I knew from the start you were a social climber!""I said yes she is my girlfriend," Trent says sharply.
I have heard people talk about countries in Africa.How poor and filthy they are. How wild animals walk around everywhere. How the illiterate citizens walk around naked with pots on their heads. How some look like monkeys and stay on trees with their fellow monkeys. How they speak weird languages and don't even know English since they've never stepped into school. How aggressive and hostile they are when foreigners visit.But it's the complete opposite of all those horrible things.We are welcomed warmly by a couple of dancers doing traditional dances. This must be the popular African clan "the Maasai" in their red attires and their sticks, jumping up and down.The pilot is behind us carrying the l
The plane has landed.We are back in England at London City Airport.My little fairy tale in Kenya has come to an end.A sad end.Trent is not talking to me even as we walk out of the plane. He's not talked to me all the way. I just watched him as he looked out the small window and then drifted to sleep. I felt so lonely but it's my fault.We notice all eyes on us as he escorts me to take a cab. Some people are taking snaps of us with their phones and others just stand to stare at us. Trent does not care. So why should I? He's holding my arms tight as he talks to the cab driver and pays him.
"And I said we have broken up!"I say adamantly."You don't see how this relationship could help your career, do you?"That is hurtful.I frown."So you don't think I can do this on my own. You don't think the show can hit without me having to involve myself with Trent? You think I'm worthless to the show without being in a relationship with Trent?"He sets his hand on my lap."Becca, I have been in this game for four years now. And I know how it works. You are really good. Like, extremely good at your job. But draggi
"Why the hell did you do that!"I snap immediately he starts the engine.The lights are still flashing as we leave and the paparazzi are still yelling my name asking questions. I'm now quite famous I see."Brad, you had no right to do that. I have a mouth, if I wanted to talk, I would."He's just grinning as he drives. He's not said a word since we entered the car."Brad, say something!""Say hello to more ratings and more money.""So this is what it's about. More ratings and more money?" I scoff.
Tyrone smiles.An actual genuine smile.So not like him.I am used to his smirks and frosty grins and grim faces. Not genuine smiles."You look like you've just seen a ghost..."I'm still speechless.I don't know what to say to him. I wonder what he's doing here accompanied by his huge bodyguards."What do you want?" I ask in a somewhat cold manner.If there is one thing I know, it's that Tyrone doesn't NOT like me. He doesn't even try to pretend. His hatred for

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
