Chapter 5

Judith's POV 

Morning dawned within a blink of an eye and even before I could open my eyes, my phone rang loudly..

“Who the hell is that after a pleasurable night?” I mumbled, rolling to Keith's side of the bed but there were really no signs of him anywhere.

“Babe?.." I called, opening my eyes at that moment but he was still absent..

“In the bathroom?.." I spoke again, but still, no response came.

I sighed, reaching for the device in my bag whose sounds were too loud for my liking. I'd actually placed the bag right beside the bed last night so it was easier to reach for it.

Surprisingly, Keith was the caller and with furrowed brows, I swiped green..

“Why calling when we ---”

“Where the hell are you, huh? I waited all night but you never showed up. Do you know the extent I went in getting hard!",he yelled fiercely and angrily 

My heart skipped a beat and I immediately sat up properly.

What the hell was he saying?.. didn't we just spend the night together?

“What are you talking about?..” I asked confusedly, confirming that I'd really slept with someone and not dreamt of it, by raising the duvet.

“What do you mean by that question, are you trying to pretend? Do you know how terrible it is to be left hanging all night! It wasn't easy getting rid of my problem but I did because of you and yet you didn't show up, you didn't even pick your calls! Are you out of your mind?!” he yelled again.

I got pissed.

“Can you stop yelling and explain things properly, huh! The receptionist told me you were in room seven and I came in. We got intimate and this morning you disappeared, only to start pranking me with this. Do you think I'm a fool?” I retorted, feeling my brain getting messed up  

“Wait... Did you just say room seven? You got fucked in room seven?!” he sounded so shocked.

I got more scared. Had I slept with someone else?..

“Stop the damn pranks and let me understand!". I shouted.

“For fuck sake, I was in room eleven, Louisa!” he screamed....

I gasped, remembering the difference I noticed in the man.

“You were what?..” my voice cracked in fear

“Do I look like the person you mated with? Were you under a spell or what?!” 

I went silent for a second or two because my tongue refused to move out due to the volume of shock that had just run into my body. 

“No.. no you're... You're joking right?..." I panicked, finally being able to speak but instead of an answer, the door flung open, revealing him..

He was still panting heavily due to how fast he had rushed here to confirm things..

The phone fell from my hands immediately.. he had dyed his hair white but the man of last night had black hair!!

My head spun around like a machine was tampering with it and a headache from nowhere hit me hard like I'd just collided with a ton of bricks..

“Babe..” my gaze remained wide as I slowly got up from the messy bed..

I was doomed, obviously.

“Where's my son?.. where's Einstein!” he yelled and my heart almost flew out of my chest in fear.

“He.. he's ...” I pointed to the direction I'd placed the little boy in yesterday, with my gaze still on him.

“Tell me, does it look like he's here?!" His eyes turned bloodshot and slowly, I turned my gaze to the couch..

My eyes widened 

He was really not there.!

“Oh my god!” I screamed, rushing to the couch immediately to check if he had fallen behind it, with the duvet cover wrapped around my body, but nothing was there..

“Louisa!!” he yelled again but this time he looked so wild like he was going to eat me up .

I shifted backwards in fear..

“Keith..” I whispered, seeing nothing but his beastly side..

“What did you do?...” he moved too, coming for me..

My blood ran cold and I felt like fainting but I wasn't just finding myself going down..

“I --” 

Before I could say a thing, he slapped me hard, sending me flying to the bed and making me hit my head hard on the bed stand..

“Tell me!" He yelled again while the pain in my head multiplied a million and one times..

“Keith" I whispered helplessly again as a tear rolled out..

And then, it began happening...

The memories!!

They began coming in pieces and flashes with blood flowing freely from my nose and ears..

I screamed when the pain became unbearable..

All I kept seeing was a handsome devil..

I saw him push me hard and go for another woman... and I saw a blur sight of him thrust into my middle..

“My ... Head” my tears flowed freely as the headache worsened.

“Babe? Are you okay?” Keith panicked, rushing to me quickly..

“I was married to.. to.. married to... ” I kept stuttering, getting more memories while a part of me began wondering why Keith wasn't included in those memories and why there was a different somebody in my head..

“Louisa?..” he called again, still panicking..

But I was lost... Lost in the world of the broken memories and struggling to gather the pieces. Immediately, I heard the opening sound of the door.

“Arrgh.." I held my head more tightly feeling a sharper pain, with my eyes still closed.

“Who are you?..” I heard a familiar but unrecognisable voice ask..

“Her husband and let go of my son!” Keith's voice came this time..

“Are you blind to notice the striking resemblance?.." the voice calmly retorted but.. my sense of understanding was blank..

I didn't even know what was going on, I was only hearing the words..

“Judith.. let's go home," was the next thing I heard.

Yes, that was the name I heard repeatedly as the memories came, not Louisa!!

My eyes opened slowly, as my curiosity level reached its peak..

Then, I saw him despite my blurred vision..

Nah.. not Keith..

It was the devil, my first love!..

He was with my child and had obviously just walked into the room.

“Judith..” he called again..

My heart cursed him a hundred times at that moment as the memories and understanding got more clearer, still leaving me mute and insanely weak...

Wait..

Don't tell me I'd just slept with him!!

He's meant to die!!
