"That's not possible," I shook my head nervously, even though I knew it could be. Liam looked desperate and ready to take what he wanted with all possibilities, but sometimes I had been giving him what he wanted, so why would he report us?

"Then who? Who would report us if he's not the one, and to top it all, you said he's threatening you, so what are you expecting?" Mr. Carter sounded broken, trying not to show his sad side.

His breathing became trembling, staring around the house. He folded his hands, supporting his jaw while his eyes looked around for what he didn't lose.

"I have a plan," My lips firmed. I had thought I would keep it to myself, but not anymore. Liam deserved nothing but cruelty. He fucking trapped me. After giving him everything. I hate the fact that I gave him everything yet he went ahead and trapped me.

"Plan? Which one?" Mr. Carter asked, staring at me with doubt.

"Let's get rid of Liam," I pronounced, unsure if I made any sense right now, but that's the

    TessaAfter eating breakfast with Leah, she rose from the table to take the plates to the kitchen while I waited for her to come back. I've been having peaceful breaths ever since Liam went to work and hadn't come back. I wish it could continue going like this.Leah came back from the kitchen and sat down in front of me, her eyes staring at me with something I couldn't dispatch. She had been asking me what was wrong and why I had left the house since we woke up, but for real, I don't think I'm ready to talk about it. Especially mentioning Mr. Carter wasn't part of the plan at all.She cleared her throat, supporting her hand with her jaw, her eyes mainly on me. "Now that I've served your empty stomach and it's now full of your cravings, can you tell me what I desire to know?" She asked for the umpteenth time. I looked away, trying to avoid her question, but her persistence gazed at me, doesn't change anything."I told you it's nothing," I scoffed, trying to downplay everything."Really

    Carter"Hey, love," I opened my arms wide, welcoming Mila into my body frame; my hands snaked around her waist while I kissed her on the cheek and her forehead. "How are you doing today?" I questioned releasing her to search her face."Well, I can't say if I am happy or excited, but I am good; everything is good." Mila flashed me a smile, I needed no one to tell me something sweet happened. I am not saying she doesn't smile but she looks super excited."Is there something I need to know that you are hiding from me?" I took a glass from the rack, poured myself some content from the bottle, and then gulped the whole content."I am not hiding anything," she chuckled collecting the glass and bottle from my hands, she set it herself. "Tessa came in earlier today, but she is not feeling well; she looks sick and pale; all the color on her skin had drained, but she is fine." She announced.My expression faltered down at her. The last piece of news I was expecting to hear was that Mila saw Tes

    CarterI was surprised to see Mila standing outside Tessa's door. My mind reeled. What was she doing here?I approached her, my voice low, although I knew Tessa had discovered what was going on but would rather keep her cool than talk and raise suspicions between us."Mila, what are you doing? I thought I left you in the kitchen not quite long trying to prepare dinner or I think you were fixing some stuff in the kitchen?" I asked, my presence still covering the entrance to the door.She smiled, a hint of surprise as she was not expecting me to open the door to find her standing quietly and noiselessly. "Is it a crime if I decide to leave the kitchen and come to my daughter's room?" Mila replied teasing me."Come on, don't quote me wrong. I was just surprised to see you standing at her door after telling me you guys had a lengthened talk not quite long, and you straightened out the issues between the both of you," I paused breathlessly. "I didn't realize that mother and daughter's bond

    TessaMom walked in after Carter left the room, a warm smile spread on her lips as she approached the bed where I sat with my Teddy bear on my thighs, staring at nothing in the room in particular."You exchanged pleasantries with Carter right?" she asked.I nodded, feeling uneasy even though I knew we just didn't exchange pleasantries as father and daughter would but chatted about something she should not know about."That is nice; he was worried sick of you when you left; I am sure he is happy you are back to the house and family, too," She sat down next to me on the bed, her position directly facing me."Yeah, I guess so," I shrugged carelessly.But then Mom's expression turned serious. "So tell me Tessa, how have you been all this while you were not with us? Tell me what your neighbors are like. Did you hang out with your friends a lot, or did you lock yourself up in your room reading and studying? Or have you found a hobby you are suddenly in love with and buried yourself in it? G

    Carter I cleared my eyes for the umpteen time, and I was still seeing the same bewildered expression staring back at me. It felt so unreal, to see my daughter after all these years, but how could she come back home without informing me? I stared at her with surprise, my eyes wide with wonder, but she only smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling."Jasmine?" I called, wanting to be sure if I was truly seeing my daughter, and for real, it was her."You're not seeing a ghost, Papa," she smiled, standing up from the bed and walking toward me with open arms. "I miss you," she uttered, her voice trembling with emotion."I missed you too, daughter," I gushed, pulling her into a tight, fatherly hug. I inhaled her smoky perfume, rubbing my nose on her head, feeling a mix of joy and nostalgia.I couldn't believe I was seeing her right now; she looked different from the Jasmine I saw the last time. Even though we talked and chatted on the phone sometimes, it still felt more surreal and wonderful th

    TessaReality hit me like a ton of bricks, and my knees felt weak, threatening to buckle beneath me. Thanks to Mr. Carter's firm hand on my shoulder, I would have collapsed to the floor by now. My eyes refused to close, and my mouth remained wide open in shock, with tears welling up in the corners, streaming down my face in slow motion.I couldn't believe this; this can't be happening right now. The room seemed to spin around me, and my mind raced with thoughts. Even without anyone telling me, and with the reaction on Mr. Carter's face, this lady must be someone he knew intimately.Mr. Carter released me, taking a step further, but the girl moved back, her eyes fixed on us. "Jasmine, I can explain," he pleaded, blinking repeatedly, his eyes filled with desperation.My ears perked up at the name. Jasmine? It sounded familiar; where did I hear that from? Oh! A gasp escaped my lips when I finally recalled if I didn't misremember, that Jasmine was Mr. Carter's daughter, the same girl who

    TessaI didn't see or hear from Carter until the following day, in the morning when I was in the kitchen preparing breakfast to eat before going to school..Mom was cleaning the sitting room with a rag towel when the door opened, and a sad Carter walked in. And another I noticed from his posture and expression was that he looked so tired and famished.Mom looked up worriedly as she filled the remaining gaps between them. She cupped his cheeks in her palm and stared at him."What's wrong dear? Tessa told me you went out of the house with your daughter yesterday when I came back from shopping. I hope there is no problem?" I could not mistake her tone, she was so worried about him."There is no problem, Mila, I am fine." He said, smiling at her, but that didn't pacify my mom.Instead, her gaze rested solely on him, her finger trailing the lines on his forehead. "Are you sure you are fine? Tell me what's wrong with you, please?" She even went as far as pleading."Mila, one thing about you

    CarterThe door to my office opened, and Tessa walked in. She smiled as soon as she saw me, and I returned the smile to her."Tell me how everything went yesterday, with your daughter?" She asked as soon as she closed the door and stepped feet fully into the office."Well, it didn't go out as you imagined, but I tried my best. I tried talking to her yesterday, and after so much pleading, she agreed to keep our relationship a secret and not tell Mila about it." I answered taking her hands and pulling her towards my table.She stared at me, unconvinced by my words, but she made no move to say any words."We don't have much time, Tessa; let's finish what we started yesterday evening before my daughter interrupted us," I winked at her, and she chuckled inwardly.I opened her shirt, ran a veiny finger across her chest, leaned forward, and then placed a kiss in the center of her chest.Her resistance shattered, and I pulled her into my arms."Tess." I groaned and crushed my lips to hers.Sh

    TessaAfter getting hold of Mum's pleading, I went into my room. The tight leggings I wore were really suffocating me; this was one of the reasons why I hated wearing tight clothes.I took off the clothes, rushing to the bathroom to take a quick shower so I could rest. My mind reeled around the trip; for real, the trip would have boosted my energy by now, but the fact that Carter was involved weakened my enthusiasm. If only the trip was hosted by another lecturer, I'd have been thrilled to go.I went inside my room to change into a nightgown before falling heavily onto the couch.It wasn't like I hated Carter now or truly wanted to break off our relationship, but I just wanted to see how far he would go to suppress my anger.My phone beeped, and I realized the message was from Leah. I missed receiving messages and chatting with her.I lay comfortably on the bed, replying to her text. I knew she had something to say immediately she messaged me."Are you going to the trip?" her message

    Tessa After hanging out with Leah all day, she had pleaded for me to follow her, but I refused because of Liam. I didn't want to stay anywhere close to him, knowing he'd try to strike up a conversation with me.I was supposed to go home, but I didn't want to see Mr. Carter either, so I went outside. When I saw the darkness already cascading across the sky, I hailed a cab.It was a pure coincidence to enter the cab of the man who had helped me the day I rushed Leah to the hospital. The first day I met him, I thought he was a bad person, but after being close to him, I knew he was nothing but a good person looking for ways to make ends meet.I settled inside the car, not bothering to say a word; he already knew the location of my house. The air was silent, with only our breathing echoing."Thanks for the other day," I appreciated, recalling how he came to the police station to testify about Leah's case. I hadn't gotten the chance to thank him until now."It's nothing; I'm just glad I c

    TessaIt was Monday morning. I had tried to take Tessa along, but she'd acted stubborn and pretended like she hadn't seen me honking behind her. I traced her until she stopped a taxi and entered the cab. After some minutes of driving, I got to the school and parked in the parking lot.I had planned on not talking to anyone until I went back home, but with the woman right in front of me, it was a no to my plan."Good morning, Mr. Carter," Jessica greeted, walking to stand in front of me."Good morning," I replied simply, knowing fully that the greeting could never be the end of our conversation."Are you trying to ignore me?" she asked while following me.I held my suitcase, not going to spare her any of my time unless she was talking while she followed me."I'm not trying to ignore you; I have a lecture by 9 AM, and this is almost 9," I replied, not staring at her."Oh, at least you can spare me a minute, if not," she wouldn't back off, and I could hear her footsteps echoing beside me

    TessaI glared at Liam hatefully. I hated the fact that I was standing beside him, but I had no choice. I walked past him and went to stand beside Leah's bed. Instead, I stared at her; she looked more peaceful now as if she was just sleeping. This gave me hope that she'd soon wake up.Liam walked to stand beside me and grabbed my hand, but I was fast to yank his hand away angrily. "Don't you dare touch me with your filthy hands!" I yelled at him with rage building up inside me."I said I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not thinking twice. I'm sorry for deciding without proper thinking," he tried to make sense. But no matter how he tried to explain himself, all I felt was hatred toward him."I don't need your apology, Liam," I taunted, facing him with my full attention. "You've done what your mind asked you to do, so let me be, and I'll also do whatever my mind asks for," I explained calmly, trying my best to calm myself, even though I felt the urge to punch him hard."I know you're still angry

    TessaToday had finally come, and I was released from detention. I was a little annoyed that Carter had gotten involved in this, as I had planned to stay angry at him until I could finally forgive him.He drove to the front of the house and packed the car. I tried opening the door, but it was locked. I stared at him through the rearview mirror, and he stared back, a sigh falling from his lips."What are you doing?" I asked, not understanding why he had closed the door."I've told you sorry multiple times; are you still angry at me?" he asked, concern etched on his face."I'm not angry; I just need some breathing space," I replied.His gaze fell, as if he wasn't expecting that from me. "I need to rest; you know how hard it's been for me the last few days?" I asked, trying to open the door, which finally opened.I got out of his car and went inside the house, only to be welcomed by different aromas swirling in the air."Mum!" I screamed happily, rushing toward her. She was standing besi

    CarterI was anxious as I stepped into the hospital with Samuel by my side. The atmosphere was heavy with worry, the kind that clings to you like a shadow. Tessa has been through so much of lately."Let's go to the security room," Samuel said, his voice steady but his eyes revealed his own concern. I nodded, feeling the weight of the moment. We made our way through the busy hallways, past doctors and nurses who moved quickly, their faces focused and serious. Each step felt like it took forever, and the sounds of the hospital echoed in my mind, amplifying my anxiety.When we reached the security room, I took a deep breath. The room was small and dimly lit, filled with screens showing different angles of the hospital. I felt a mix of hope and fear as I wondered what we would find in the footage. The security guard looked up from his monitor, noticing us."What can I help you with?" he asked, his tone professional but kind."We need to see the footage of when Leah was brought in for some

    TessaI sat on the cold, hard bench in my prison cell, tears streaming down my cheeks. I never thought a simple favor would land me here, but life had a funny way of twisting things. I felt the weight of my choices, heavy and suffocating. All I wanted was to help someone, but now I was paying the price.The sound of footsteps echoed in the hallway, and my heart raced. I looked up to see my mother, Mila, Carter, and Samuel approaching. Relief washed over me at the sight of them, but it was quickly overshadowed by sadness. I wanted to be strong, but the tears wouldn't stop.Mila rushed to me, her arms wrapping around me tightly. I could feel her warmth, her love, and it made my heart ache even more. I hugged her back, trying to find comfort in her embrace. "I'm okay, really, Mom, I am fine," I said, but my voice wavered. "This is just what my help got me into."Mila pulled back, her eyes searching my face. "Tessa, I'm so sorry. I didn't want this for you." Her voice was soft, filled wit

    CarterI felt a rush of confusion and anger as I paced the living room, my phone still buzzing in my hand. Mila had just told me that Tessa was arrested. "Why would they arrest Tessa?" I shouted, my voice echoing off the walls. My heart raced. Tessa was my friend; she was kind and caring. It made no sense to me.When I finally got home, the weight of the news sat heavy in my stomach. Mila was waiting for me, her face serious. My heart was racing. Mila was sitting on the couch, her eyes wide with worry and she looked concerned, and that only made my heart beat faster. I needed answers. I wanted to know why this was happening."Carter, you need to sit down. I have something to tell you," she said. I felt a knot form in my stomach. The tone in her voice told me it wasn't good news."Mila," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "What happened? Why was Tessa arrested?" I asked, already treading the answer.She took a deep breath, her eyes searching mine as if she were trying to gauge how

    Tessa I stood there, my heart racing as I faced Liam. The anger in his eyes felt like a storm, and I could barely breathe. "I didn't poison Leah!" I shouted, my voice shaking. "She called me when she got sick! You can't seriously think I would do something like that!"Liam's face was cold, his disbelief cutting deep. "Prove it," he said, crossing his arms. "You were the last one with her. You need to show me that you didn't do this."I fumbled for my phone, my hands trembling as I pulled up the chat with Leah. "Look! She messaged me just before she got sick. She was asking for help!" I held the phone out to him, desperate for him to see the truth.Liam glanced at the screen but then shook his head. "This doesn't mean anything. You could have staged this. You could have poisoned her and then acted like you were trying to help.""Staged it? Are you serious?" I felt a surge of frustration. "I rushed her to the hospital because I was scared! I thought she was going to die!""Then why is
