Thirty One

BETH- PASTI feel so sick. I can’t get out of bed and I cannot eat. Why does Mary insist that I go to school then? She insists that a broken heart is not enough reason to miss school. Can you imagine!I huff and pull on a blue shirt. It belonged to Beck and is a few sizes too big but it comforts me. It smells like him and it chases away the cold in my chest. When I come down to pretend to eat, Mary shakes her head at my clothing.Embee still cannot go to school because of his leg so Jace and I walk quietly to school. He is very popular, and all the kids we pass have something to say to him. I am not in the mood to play and my stony expression drives everybody away.There is a new girl in my class. She is wearing all black and has pink stripes in her hair. I like it. She is very small too. The other kids think it is okay to pick on her because she is small. I want to defend her, because that is what Beck would have done. But thinking about defending her hurts because it reminds me of h

BETH- PRESENTI hadn’t meant to make Alex spend the night with me, but she did. After her revelation about the past, of which I am surprised, we talked long into the night. It is a comfort having her over and when she has to leave to prepare for work, I am not ready to let her go.I have decided to face my problems head on. Ignoring them so far has not made any of them go away. If my baby will be here in less than five months, it is high time I start making plans for its arrival. Alex wants me to face my life with more optimism, and that is what I will do.Firstly, I have to reply to Anthony Cruise and set up the meeting he has been requesting. Now that I don't have a job, I have some free time on my hands. I boot up my laptop after a simple breakfast and log in to my email account.The first mail my eye is drawn to is the one from the gossip column, Encore. I open it to unsubscribe from their mailing list, but cannot help punishing myself by reading the new lies they have written abo

Thirty Three

BECK- PRESENTIf Rosa gives me another one of her self-righteous looks, I'm going to fire her! Why does she insist on blaming me each time that infernal site writes something about me? Does she not read the whole thing? It's not as if my affairs are the only thing they gossip about. I mean, today, there is a portion about a popular celebrity with the clap. Their viewers and subscribers have not tripled because of him, no. It's because of me! They have become a thorn in my side and I am getting close to suing them.“Good morning Sir.” A voice interrupts my musings. When I see Anthony standing uncertainly at my doorstep, I frown. Where is Rosa, and why did she admit someone into my office without clearing it with me? I am supposed to be in a meeting, but my ten o clock cancelled at the last minute.“What do you want?” I inquire. He looks startled at the hostility in my voice, but can you blame me? There is only one reason he would be coming to my office, and I am not ready for that; esp

BETH- PRESENTI can’t hold back the scream that tears out of me when I hear a thud against the bathroom door.“Open this door this instant!” A voice yells while the ramming continues. My hands are trembling, but I send an SOS to Alex anyway. I want to throw my hands over my ears again, and pretend that this isn’t happening, but I can’t. I shakily dial 911 with teary eyes. Before my call connects, I hear the siren of a cop car. “Shit.” The voice curses and then scrambles. I can hear things that had managed to survive the assault tumble in their mad dash to escape, but I don't care. I am glad to be alife.“We’re safe!” I mumble over and over again, with my arms wrapped around my stomach. It is a while yet before a knock sounds on the bathroom door.“Ma’am, open up. I'm a cop.” The deep baritone causes me to start panicking again.“Go away, I didn't call you!” I scream.“Ma’am, a neighbour did.” The sound of the female voice only calms me slightly but I open the door anyway.My room is

BECK- PRESENTI'll be damned if I allow you to spend another night with him while carrying my child. I curse at myself when I remember my choice of words. I had been able to pull it together in front of her, but as I wait for her to join me outside, I’m panicking.What had I been thinking when I invited her to my place? Nothing! Again I had not been thinking. I want to keep her safe, but that had not been the emotion that made me offer my place. I want to deny the fact that her jumping into my arms and feeling perfect against me had nothing to do with it. I also want to deny that I didn't mind that she had considered staying with Arlington. But I am not someone who lies to himself.I sigh in frustration. I know that I want her physically. Heck, not having her is the reason for my aggression towards her. What I didn't know was that I would be jealous of another man. Is it because Arlington is involved? No. I would have been jealous anyway if it had been another man. What does that say

BECK- PRESENTBeth has sequestered herself in her room. I don’t want to care, but I do. It has been over an hour since she slammed the door shut in anger. I even considered apologising to her, but what do I have to be sorry about?I rescued her from what could have been a dicey situation; brought her into my luxurious home because of her safety; and I'm offering to buy her whatever she wants this period, to cater to her every need. Why is she not seizing the opportunity? Is she really not after my money? I snort, of course she is! She doesn’t want to seem too obvious about it.I've rarely worked from home, but I have to admit that it has its perks. For one, I have not seen one annoying look from Rosa. The ninety minutes I've spent working have been relaxing and I'm enjoying the comfort of my home office.The housekeeper arrives before two. “A houseguest sir?” Her brows rise after I explain the situation.“Temporarily, just until we figure something out.” “It is not my place to say,

BETH- PRESENT“What the hell Beth!” Alex explodes. I flush brightly.“Yeah, what the hell.” Sofia adds. Her well manicured fingers settle elegantly on her cocked hip. “You call me to say she has been attacked only for me to find you mauling her?” “Cara, I did not expect you so soon.” He drawls. I wonder if they can hear the desire in his voice. His back is to them, so I can see his desire. How embarrassing. This is just like the time Mary caught us kissing as kids. I want to crawl under the bed and die.“Obviously. I doubt I would have found you like this otherwise.” Her sarcastic tone has me biting my lips. “When you collect yourself, join me in your office.” Her hostile eyes turn to me, “You are not invited. Alex will keep you company to make sure you do not interrupt us.”“Easy babe.” Alex rubs her arm affectionately. “Martian and I need to talk too. Is there somewhere we can talk?”I just nod mutely and walk away. She follows behind me after a whispered word to her girlfriend. I

BETH- PRESENTIf I am the villain in everyone’s story, can I be the hero in my own story? Alex and Sofia have long left, and Beck has not come out of the room he disappeared into after leaving his office. So I am left to ponder my dangerous thoughts. If public opinion is part of who I am, just who am I then? Have you ever felt so lonely because no one gets you? That is exactly how I feel now; lost, confused and alone. After all these years, I am still fundamentally who I used to be. Can Alex not see that? She promised to help Sofia see the error in her thinking, but it seems to me that she is the one being convinced. Why else would she be questioning my actions? Has she forgotten just how much words get to me? Where is the Alex that was ready to go to war for me at the slightest infraction? She grew up and fell in love, simple; and I for one know how stupid that emotion makes you, just look at my life!Many thoughts have been pinging around my head since Alex left; the worst of all

Thirty Nine

BETH- PRESENTI sleep fitfully on my first night at Casa de Beckham. The unfamiliar surroundings, as well as my inner turmoil, prevent me from having a good sleep. The second night isn't any better.By the third day, I'm bored out of my skull. I have only seen Beck in passing since that first day, almost like he's going out of his way to avoid me. I don't mind the peace, even though Alex has gone AWOL. I am trying to be optimistic about life after all. But it is hard to be optimistic when you're jobless, pregnant, and practically a prisoner. I didn’t know that I could get claustrophobic in such a lavish environment, but I am!I venture to cook for the both of us that evening just to alleviate my boredom, and of course, he does not return until I fall asleep; so much for the company.I am awoken in the middle of the night by a loud crash. Jolting up in bed, I creep towards my door and cautiously open it. My heart is racing wildly, remembering the last time I was attacked. Surely they w

BETH- PRESENTToday, I leave Beck’s apartment for the first time since the incident. The week I have spent has been one of the longest in my life. In my time there, I have noticed that Beck is a workaholic. Apart from that first day he worked from home; and the incident during the storm; I rarely get to see him, except when I stay up to wait for him. I have been bored out of my skull for lack of activity; which is the only reason I am looking forward to a doctor’s appointment.Things have been different between us since that night, so much so that I can say that we are becoming friends. Even when his assistant called to arrange the hospital visit, and told me that I am to see his chosen ob-gyn, she still gave me a choice in the matter. It feels refreshing to be involved in decisions concerning my own life.A black sedan with tinted windows is waiting for me when I emerge from the building. Jack, the driver, who doubles as my security detail, is a wiry-built man who I'm assured is a ma
