Tabitha:

Sparks went off in the air between us as we glared at each other. Six against one. They weren’t fair odds, but I didn’t care. Emily was my best friend. I had trusted her with some of my deepest secrets, but for her to turn around and lie about me in the media? She had crossed so many lines.

“What do you want, Emily?” I growled, my fists balling at my sides.

I saw her sneak a glance at my hands and then turned to her crew. Then right on cue, they all burst out laughing. My face burned

  • In My Godfather’s Bed    161. Tabitha

    Tabitha:“... Shut up! Bitch!... I… hate… YOU!”My body was stiff. The pain… I could still feel it. And then… it felt like I had stopped breathing. I tried to inhale, but my lungs closed up. The darkness was surrounding me again, like it was snuffing the life out of me. I was… I was going to do…“NO!”I sat up, and heads spun around to look at me. My whole body was on fire; the room was hot and crowded. Figures in white rushed towards me, their lips moving, but I couldn’t hear a thing they were saying. “Tabitha! Move!”Someone pushed through the crowd and knelt by my side, taking my hands in trembling. “E-Enzo?”I had to blink a couple of times before I could see his face clearly. He looked dishevelled: His hair was a mess, his tie was crooked, and his jacket was gone. “Tabitha? Can you hear me? How do you feel? Are you okay?”I wanted to say something, but my words were cut off by a splitting headache. I fell back down on the bed and groaned in pain. “Tabitha!”Enzo leaned closer

    Tabitha:Sparks went off in the air between us as we glared at each other. Six against one. They weren’t fair odds, but I didn’t care. Emily was my best friend. I had trusted her with some of my deepest secrets, but for her to turn around and lie about me in the media? She had crossed so many lines. “What do you want, Emily?” I growled, my fists balling at my sides. I saw her sneak a glance at my hands and then turned to her crew. Then right on cue, they all burst out laughing. My face burned, my fists curled tighter till I could feel them tingling. “Can you calm down?” Emily mocked, flipping her hair and placing a hand on her hips as she sized me up. “You look like a little chihuahua in an ugly dress. Ease up.”The laughter rang out again. My heart was beating wildly; I could feel the adrenaline pumping through my body. The urge to sink my fist so hard into her smug face was overwhelming. “Ease? Up?” My voice sounded strained; my eye was twitching hysterically, and I caught one g

    Tabitha:I couldn’t even bear to look at him walk away. I couldn’t bear to turn around and see Emily smiling smugly at me.This entire… thing… was all a setup. They knew we would come. Why wouldn’t we? The company had been looking for a deal with Mr. Hunchley for years, and they basically offered us a golden ticket to see him at the expense of our freedom. What the hell did he mean that we couldn’t leave?I downed my drink and grabbed another. I was fuming. I wasn’t sure who I was mad at. All I knew was that I was angry and I just wanted to go home. I had wanted to go home since I saw the face of that conniving bitch. My hands squeezed so hard around that glass that it would have shattered, but I didn’t care. It was taking everything in me not to pounce on her and give her a piece of my mind. “How long are you going to pout and face the other way?”I flinched with rage. She was still standing behind me. I thought she would have gone by now. I didn’t need her to show me around this p

    Enzo:The tension in the air thickened. Tabitha wanted to say something, but her mouth clamped shut, and she stepped closer to my side, her eyes not leaving Emily. My face was tight, stealing glances from Hunchley to Emily and back to Hunchley. I had barely recognized Emily when she walked up to us, but that wasn’t even the worst part of it all. My eyes scanned the room, and the disgust I had been fighting to keep at bay was tugging furiously at my facial muscles. It all made sense now: The scandal, the card. Hunchley thought I was just like them, someone who preferred younger girls, someone out for the thrill that Tabitha gave me. Anger bubbled in my throat, and my hands twitched at my sides. He couldn’t have been more wrong. I loved Tabitha. My relationship with her wasn’t a fun moment. It wasn’t a pastime to make me feel better. I wanted her, I wanted to keep her. She was mine in every sense of the word, and I was hers. “I am certain that the two of you know each other,” Hunchl

    Tabitha:“Name, and do you have a reservation?”I stared straight ahead as Enzo talked to the security guard, but through the corner of my eyes, I saw him taking double-takes at us. It was little wonder that few people knew what the inside of the hotel looked like. The security was strict. There was no way that anyone would be able to sneak in here.Enzo pulled the card out of his pocket and handed it to the security guard. We waited patiently while he made a call. My heart was racing. It wasn’t like we were sneaking in, but at the moment, being around people made me a little anxious. “Alright, Mr. Ross.” He handed the card back to Enzo. “You are free to go inside. Have a lovely stay at the hotel.”“Thank you.”The windows were rolled up, and we drove into the premises. I held my breath and felt my whole world light up. It was like I had stepped into another realm.The lights were so bright that it looked like the night hadn’t even come. We were directed to the parking lot, and even

    Tabitha:Sunday came around quickly. I stared at the ceiling in Enzo’s room and sighed. It was the best I had felt in days. He had made the weekend so fun and special that I didn’t even want it to end. I turned my head and watched him at his desk, his computer on, his eyes glued to the screen, scrolling through numbers. He had been up early, and I just wanted to watch him. The way he carried himself, the way he stared at the screen when he was working, made him irresistible. He was perfect. His phone rang, and he answered it, talking clearly with that commanding voice that he used in the office, the voice that gave me shivers. I had watched him in meetings steal the entire room. Everyone listened to him. How could they not?“...No. Not yet. We will close the Hunchley’s deal on Tuesday. There are some logistics that I need to get out of the way first… Yes… I will make sure that those are delivered and get a message across to Miss Bolden. We should be meeting in the office next week t

    Tabitha:I woke up with a headache so brutal it felt like someone had taken an axe to my skull and left it there overnight. My tongue was dry, my throat burned faintly from throwing up, and for a few seconds I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, trying to remember how I had gotten into my pajam

    Tabitha:I walked up, my step, precise yet calculated. I felt an ache in my chest but soon ignored it because I knew it was just because I was still mad at Enzo.He soon saw me, and a smile crept onto his face, gently running his gaze from head to toe till he finally arrived at the table where he w

    Enzo:By morning, the damage was no longer small or abstract. It had become real and damning.I felt it the moment I stepped into the building, in the way conversations stopped mid-sentence, in the way people avoided eye contact.The lobby was filled but it still felt empty. People were around me b

    Tabitha:I didn't want to let go of him.Not in the car. Not when the driver’s eyes flicked to the rearview mirror and then moved away to focus on his driving, but I didn't care, especially now. I just couldn't. Not even when we reached the penthouse and the doors closed behind them with a soft, fi
