CHAPTER 61

GAIAI should have listened to her. She told me about her fears, she told me that there was a chance that he would go after her but I didn't listen to her. I pushed her fears aside. I ran across the road to her house, hoping to see her there like I didn't just hear the phone call. I knew Javon was behind me but I didn't bother to look back. “Bella! Bella!”The house was empty and I ran upstairs to check every room but there was no one there. “He took her. He took her, Javon.”“Who? Who took her? Mark or Jacob?”The tears in my throat didn't let me say anything and my breathing was heavy as I tried to speak. “Jacob. He said he took her. He said he's going to kill her if I don't do what he says.”This is all my fault. I downplayed the possibility of him taking her. I just didn't think that he'd go that far. She wasn't involved in the case in any way and at most, I thought he'd come for me or for Juan. He placed his arm on my shoulder. “It’s okay. I'm going to find her. Go back ho

CHAPTER 62

GAIAThere was no argument this time around. He didn't give me a chance to choose either. He helped put my things together while Evan got Juan's things. We sat in the car, in silence because I had nothing to say. My mind was solely fixed on Bella. “Did you find out anything? You were gone for a while.”Juan was still passed out on his lap. “I’m still working on it. I'll take care of it.” It was for the best. As much as I didn't want to go back to that house, if any of them came, it would be better for me to be close to him because I couldn't protect myself. “Does your mother know I'm coming over? I don't want her to flip out when she sees me.” He gave me a look. “It’s your house. You lived there before her so she can't say anything.”Even though that was true, I never did feel like the madam of the house .“It’s just for a while, Gaia. If you're uncomfortable, you can go back home.” I would never say it to him but I liked the fact that he asked me to go with him. If I had stay

CHAPTER 63

GAIA I don't know what Javon did but Jacob sent me a text message. “You’re lucky. I got what I wanted. Seems like that bastard brother of mine really loves you.”An hour later, I got a call from a strange number and it was Bella. I left the house immediately with Evan and went to pick her up. Seeing her in tears, I equally broke down because it was all my fault. “I’m so sorry. I'm so sorry I didn't listen to you. I'm a bad friend. I should have listened to you when you said that he might take you.”I had her taken to the hospital for a complete check up and they gave her an IV just in case. The door opened and Javon walked in. “Sorry I'm late. I was in a meeting.”I'd even forgotten to call him with everything that has happened so I'm sure that Evan was the one who did. “How’s she doing?” “The doctor said that there's nothing wrong. She wasn't harmed in any way but they what her to wake up before they request to do a rape kit.”He turned to me sharply. “A rape kit?”“Yeah, I

CHAPTER 64

GAIAI stayed in the room while the doctors and the nurses did their thing. I couldn't beat to leave her again and from the tears in her eyes, she didn't want me to leave either. “The results would be ready soon.” I gave the doctor a small nod and thanked him as he walked out of the room. “Hey.” I sat beside her and held her hand lightly “How are you? How do you feel?” She didn't say anything. She just stared at me like I could see her thoughts, rather ready her thoughts. I wish I could though, so she won't have to speak. There were bruises on her lips and I don't even want to know how they got there. “What is it? Talk to me, I can hear you.”“I'm sorry. I should have known better.” Her quiet voice said. Hearing that apology from her broke my heart and I had to turn my head away from her as the tears poured out of my eyes. “Don’t say that. Don't say that, please. I should be the one saying that I should have known better. You told me, you warned me that he will come for you bu

CHAPTER 65

THIRD PERSON POV Gaia sat in the only seat in the hospital room, staring at her friend's back. Bella hadn't been taking it well, and she didn't know what to do at all. Bella had her back turned to her, so Gaia couldn't tell if she was still awake, or sleeping because Bella had been in that position for a long time. While she was in the room waiting, the door was pushed open, and in came Evan. Gaia’s eyes widened as she quickly stood up from her seat and rushed towards him and pushed him out of the room. “No, no, no, you can't be here,” she whispered as she pushed him. Still confused, Evan went out of the room with the food in his hand. She hadn't expected him to return so early. She had expected that he'd at least take a little while , so that Bella could prepare herself. Eva frowned as he let himself get pushed back, and still tried to look past her, but the door slammed shut behind Gaia. “What's going on? Is everything okay?” he asked worriedly. He tried to push past her, b

CHAPTER 66

JAVONMy head was pounding and I hadn't eaten anything good today. I'd been going from one conference room to the other. I had not sat in one place for more than five minutes. It was the end of the year and the departments needed to submit audits and reports. I wanted to close the company early this year but without them doing their jobs, I couldn't do it. As I closed my eyes, I heard footsteps behind me and I opened them to turn around. My mother stood above me with a scornful look on her face. Any time I saw her, she always had something to complain about. It was either about how I wasn't treating Stephie right or how Stephanie didn't like something that I did. She never had anything else to talk about. “What is it this time around?”I closed my eyes back and let her talk. “Javon, why would you bring that woman into this house? Why did you bring her here?”I sighed. “Dont tell me that what you're here to talk about. I brought her here because shes my wife and she needed my he

CHAPTER 67

GaiaI stood there, watching Javon and his mom. They had finally noticed me after I had heard everything they had to say, and Javon had his eyes wide open, and his mom just stood there nonchalantly. Of course, he hadn't expected me to hear their conversation, but had he even planned to inform me about it?Or I was just going to be kept in the dark like an idiot?I sighed and walked past them, making my way up the stairs. I didn't have the energy to start an argument with him as I was tired from spending the day with Bella. I stomped up the stairs and opened my door and slammed it shut behind me. I slipped down on my bed, staring at the ground. Just then, a knock came to my door, and Javon pushed it open. He rushed towards me and stood beside me. “Gaia, please hear me out. It's not what you think. I can explain everything that happened, so you'd understand-,” Javon started, but I interrupted him. “I don't want to hear anything from you, Javon. I'm sick and tired of all these thi

CHAPTER 68

GAIAI didn't have the strength. Not today, not ever, to fight Stephanie. Not because I couldnt fight her but because she wasn't worth my time or energy. But she thought she was. “What madness are you displaying now?”She chuckled. “I know you must have heard about my condition and that's why you're in such a sour mood.”Sour mood? Far from it. I was elated in a way because that meant that Javon could finally get off my back. “No, I don't care about your condition. As a matter of fact, congratulations. Now, you can take over from where I left off.”I saw her smile falter a bit. “I hate the fact that you were once his wife. You don't deserve to have been married to him.”If anything, he shouldn't have been married to me. But there was no use explaining anything to someone as dense as Stephanie. I'll just become as stupid as her. “I don't care what you think and I never will. One thing I do care about is you bringing yourself in my face. Let it never happen again. Even as a mistak

CHAPTER 69

JAVON “What about the other thing we talked about, Evan?”He looked up at me, so out of it and in thought. “What did you say?”I knew he hadn't been listening to me and that's why I said something. “What’s wrong? Where's your head at today?” He stood up from his chair. “I have no idea. What did you say?”I could have easily repeated myself but I didn't. Evan wasn't normally like this so I knew something was wrong. “Forget that. What's got your mind in a twist?”As much as Evan used to be my bodyguard, he was still my friend. My closest friend and the one who knew me the most. “Is it Bella?” He looked at me, almost shocked that I called her name. “Of course you'd know about that.”I knew about everything. “I know you're in love with my wife's best friend. It's not like you were trying to hide it either.”“Yeah, well I was being subtle. Or at least, thought so. She's not doing so well. After what happened, I thought she'd recover in no time but from what I heard Gaia saying to

CHAPTER 70

GAIAI've not been able to get any sleep in the past week. Juan had gotten very very sick and we had to rush him to the hospital. Apparently, it wasn't just allergies but then the doctors don't know what it is so I've just been there, waiting on them while they took his blood, urine, swear and every fluid that was in his body. I watched my son flinch in pain every time the needle pierced his skin and I could do nothing about it. “Ma’am, we would like to do a few more tests to determine what exactly is wrong with him.”That statement made me so mad. I had to drag the doctor out of the office. “Few more tests? Doctor, you've spent the last week taking blood from every part of his body. I don't think he can take anymore. He's already stretched to his limit. Do you want to break him?”“Ma’am, I can assure you that's not my intention. I'm just trying to do what's right for him. With the way he's sick, we can't just release him back to you and hope for the best. We need to determine wha
