Sitting on my coffee table.
Drinking my coffee.
With my favorite mug.
And all this is Amira's fault.
She had to let him in. She even threw herself all around him the minute she saw him. I've never been so disgusted by someone's actions my entire life.
"Aren't you going to ask him where he has been all this years?" I mutter, looking at Amira.
She gives me that sharp judgemental look.
"What matters is he's back and here with us."
It's just funny how being smart doesn't stop you from making dumb mistakes. This is a mistake Amira will regret for the rest of her life.
"I'm not back!" Dad states.
What!
That comes like a blow to the face. Amira is astounded, staring blankly at dad.

"I didn't do it!"I rub my eyes with the palm of my hand, sniffing.One of the directors straightens his collar and grins at me."We are sure it's you, Ms. Terra. So save that for yourself."This boardroom is hell on earth. The temperatures are flaring and my whole body is sizzling."So, Ms. Terra, there's clear evidence that you stole the money. So it's better if you just accept the accusations and save us the time."My heart sinks."But I didn't do it!" I burst out. "I swear I didn't do it!"CJ, who has been quiet all this time, stands up angrily and bangs the desk."Then explain why you are on the cctv sneaking into my office and into my safe!"I stutter, a swell of fresh tears welling up my eyes. "I... I don't know... But it's not me! I was with you last night over dinner. And... And we talked for almost two hours after!"CJ glares at me. "You're a pathological liar! The time I dropped

Trust.I think it's the most dangerous thing.Trusting someone has to be the deadliest weapon to ever exist. Because with it, comes betrayal...Or atleast that's what happens most of the times.You trust someone and then follows betrayal. It's like trust and betrayal are connected. Like they are lovers or something...I mean, look at Jesus. The son of God himself. Betrayed by one of his disciples.. Jesus trusted Judas enough to make him one of his twelve disciples but what followed is a kiss of betrayal. And all this started with trust.Trust is deadly..And that's exactly what I did..I trusted CJ and he shattered my heart in pieces. He rebuked me like a demon and was so quick to judge me and disgrace me. He didn't even have the courtesy of asking me first. He just burst out on me, ranting all the insults in my face.

One week later,Graduatuon day,I wake up panting.Gasping for breathe.I immediately sit up in frustration and wipe the sweat from my forehead.Dalia wakes up in astonishment. "It's that nightmare again?""Yes."It's the third time in a row that I'm having a nightmare about CJ getting shot in cold blood in front of my very eyes. And every time I wake up with my body trembling as if it was all so real.Dee pulls me in a warm hug and rocks back my hair."You know maybe it's a sign," she says softly. "A sign to just get back together with him. You never know what happens..."I shrug and pull away. "It's just a nightmare. Nothing serious."I wish I could believe those words.Something in my gut tells me

Dee pats my back as we sit on the bench, waiting for the doctor's feedback."It's not your fault, Terra."I look at her angrily.I quirk an eyebrow. "What do you mean it's not my fault? Ofcourse it's not my fault! It's your fucking stupid fault! CJ is in there because of you, Dee. Because of your stupid mistakes!""And I said I'm sorry.""And I would just appreciate it if you kept your mouth shut like everyone else!" I hiss.Dee's hands are trembling. "All this is my fault. But I didn't want this to happen. I just wanted to put that bitch in her place.""When will you ever learn? Aimee is a rich girl. She can stab you in front of the whole world and still get away with it. That's the person you want to fight with? Well, guess what you're fighting and playing yourself because bitch, Aimee will walk hands free from this case and you'll get arrested for attempted murder and assault. And I don't think Ren will be able to save

One week later,I storm into CJ's office."What the fuck CJ!"He's startled. "What?""You re-hired Zara as your PA?""Yes. I thought you're cool with her again.""After what she did to me? To us!""And I thought you forgave her for that.""Yes I did. But I don't remember asking you to bring her back to the company.""You didn't have to ask."I grimace and spin to leave. "You know what, this is pointless. As the HR, I'm firing her.""You won't do that!" CJ retorts.That stops me on my feet and I look at him. CJ stands from his swivel chair and waltzes towards me. He tucks a tendril of hair behind my ear and pecks my forehead.He looks at me with warm eyes."Terra, one of the things that stan

"Eli?"He looks up, smiling so broadly. He even walks up to me to wrap me up in a warm hug.He smells so good and clean. He looks so much better. Seems Rehab was his only cure."Sister-in-law!""When did you come?""This morning."I greet Dorothy and she proceeds to serve me breakfast as Eli sits right next to me, looking so happy with so much light in his eyes."When my mom told me you and CJ are getting married. I just couldn't believe it. You guys just met the other day.""Love defies all odds, I guess...""My mom has told me so many nice things about you ever since she came to visit. She can't stop gushing about you.""She's a wonderful woman.""Yea. And a great mom... Though she abandoned us when we were kids and fled to some stupid country and started another family. But it's all cool now..."But it's evident he's still bitter about that."Tell me about yourself! How have you been?

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

"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
