2024-10-29 19:42:56I start wiping his shirt, crying how sorry I am but he stops me and instead looks at me.
"Hey. It's fine," he says gently.
CJ suddenly steps back and crosses his arms against his chest, observing me.
"You look... Different."
Zara pinches my back and I wince.
CJ smiles at the both of us. "Have fun..." he looks at me. "See you around."
Then he walks away, fixing his tie.
Zara gasps. "Bitch, what have you done to CJ?"
Here we go again...
^^^^^^^
I'm dancing in George's arms at the huge ballroom.
We are dancing to a slow song and from a distance, I spot CJ. He's dancing with that bitch, Madeline. For some strange reason, I feel irked seeing her in his arms.
There's no passion whatsoever or emotion as he dances with Madeline. Madeline is lying her head gently on his shoulder, his arms twirled around her wai

There's a stretch of weird silence then CJ bursts into hearty laughter. The laugh dies down when he notices he's the only one laughing.His dark eyes dilate."You're fucking kidding me, right?"Phoebe rolls her eyes."It doesn't have to be real. It's just for the cameras and the papers and that's it!"CJ laughs yet again."So, I'll have a fake girlfriend is what you're saying?""Yeah... Someone you'll be seen around with.

I toss myself on the couch.Fuck! What did I just do? I said "I'll think about it" to my boss?CJ came directly to my house to ask if I could be his "acting" girlfriend and I told him I'll think about it? Fuck! What's wrong with me? What if this puts my internship at his company in jeopardy? What if he fires me?Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!But there's still one thing that puzzles me...Why?Why did he have to choose me?

Madeline throws cold water on my body the second time.I still don't react.She steps on my face with her heel and cusses, "Fuck! I hate this bitch!"She stops stepping on my face and walks back to her office. I can hear the fading of the tik-tak of her heels.She's still grumbling."Who the fuck does she think she is? Using my fucking toilet! Nobody uses my toilet! Ugh! Now I have to order an expensive disinfectant and new scrubbers! I can't use that toilet if it's not disinfected!"This woman must be sick in the head. And she's talking too much to herself. It's kind of scary.

In all my years of breathing, I have never felt so embarrassed and humiliated.CJ said no.He said "no" to me.And after that sharp "no", he politely kicked me out of his office and asked me to shut the door.I left the office, full of shame and embarrassment. My legs were weak. My heart was racing. My hands were shaking.Thank God George was not standing outside with the secretary. I didn't want to see anyone at the moment because my face was so flushed and my cheeks were burning.Like, what was I thinking?That he'd say

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

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
