I wore a pink gown, not bothering to check how it looked. I know I look like a mess, whatever guests she has, I don't know them.
I sighed walking out of the room, I mobbed to the sitting only to see aunt smiling widely at two men standing in front of her.
"Of course! She would love to go now! Cara!" She called beaming, Cara is her only child and daughter, she is a year older than me.
Cara waltzed in, her face was heavily stashed with makeup, I'm, I'm not surprised.
"And, there's my niece, Tessa, she's just like a daughter to me." She motioned for me to come closer.
Just like a daughter to me my butt.
I walked closer, don't know Why But I already hate the two men in front of me.
"Let's sit down."
I sat down on the seat next to Cara, I noticed the side glare she was giving me, she has never liked me.
The rest was a blur, seriously, I wasn't even listening, my mind was on so many different things.
I felt someone's eyes on me, looking to the opposite side was one of those men, why was he looking at me? Is there something on my face?
I quickly looked away from him, and when I earned a glare from an aunt, what was this all about?
They talked a bit more, besides me was a blushing Cara, I shook my head sighing, and let this be over.
It was finally over, and those men left, I went to my room and closed the door behind me, I went to where I placed the pregnancy kit.
I can't believe there is an actual human growing inside of me, it felt so unreal. My room door suddenly opened, revealing my aunt
"I need to talk to you." Was the first thing aunt said immediately thereafter entering the room.
"Okay," I replied.
She smiled at me. Weird. "Here, sit down." She motioned for me to sit down on the bed, I sat down and she sat down with me.
Her smile got wider. "I had always known you'd bring nothing but good luck." She said.
Okay, this is weird, she had always called me bad luck, what was she talking about?
"W-what do you mean?" I asked curiously. "You see those men? The one who came earlier? Well, the one who was staring at you, he's interested in you, I told him that you're single." She said, where was she going with this?
"What do you mean by that?" I asked again. "He's interested in you, and he would love to make you his wife, isn't that great news?" She said, giggling.
Why would he be interested in me? I barely know him and neither does he, he barely knows me and he would love to make me his. wife. It sounds stupid.
Was she being serious? "I am not interested," I said and she gave me a deadly glare.
"I'm doing something great for you right now, you should be grateful, and you're going to get married to him, you have no say in this, you live under me, you are my responsibility." She scolded. Okay, this was insane, she was insane.
"Are you being serious right now? I'm not getting married." I said standing up, she was doing this for money.
She has always been obsessed with money, she could even sell her right now, but not limited to a child for money.
"Listen to me young lady, you're going to get married to him, if not leave my house! And I assure you, you're going to suffer out there I'm doing this for your good." She snarled getting up from the bed.
For your own good? She was doing this for her benefit and if I have to leave this house, I'm so not getting married, ever again.
"I am leaving," I said going to where my bag was, why did I even come here in the first place? Because I don't have any place to stay...? "are you kidding me? I told you! You're going to suffer out there!" She shrieked.
What's up with eating? I ignored her, packing my stuff, I know I'm going to suffer out there, but it's better.
Nope, it's not.
Pushing the thought out of my mind and walking out of the room. "You're so stubborn, just do what I say and your life would be great." She said.
Great? More like hell.
Going out of the house, I didn't glance back, but I could hear her shouting. Where would I go? Why can't my life be normal? I'm the with child.
Oh god, could it get anymore worst? Thrashing my hair and arranging it back, I walked off.
~
After walking for what seemed like hours, I got tired. I walked towards the left side of the road, bending down, and I cried.
The world sure hate hates me. I cried for what seemed to seem like hours, well it was hours, I looked at my phone. 4 pm?? drops of water hit me.
It was going to rain. I looked up at the sky, and just then the rain started, I stood up and ran to the nearest building.
I tried to enter, but the door was closed, I'm sure it's not a house, at least it does not look like one.
The door opened revealing two bulky In, I gulped, they look so, scary.
Aye aye young lady, you got a card?" One said, card? What were they talking about? "Card?"
"Oh, it's a beautiful young lady, oh just let her in! Look at the storm coming!" A lady said smiling. She looks nice.
"Please come in, dear." The lady said, taking me by the hand and leading me in.
to Inside was so warm, there were lots of people, girls with almost nothing on.
Everyone looks expensive, what did I get myself into? I gulped again.
"It's okay dear, loosen yourself, you're fine!" She screamed over The loud music, I managed to nod.
"Come with me," she said. Should I go wither? I mean, I'm still scared standing here alone.
I followed her and we stopped at a place, "I think she'd be great tonight." She told a man, the man wore a suit.
Was she talking about me?
The man surveyed me with his eyes, and I felt highly uncomfortable. He smirked. "Yeah, she looks tasty." He said making me gasp.
I looked at the lady. "Oh, don't worry, it's not what you're thinking and oh dear, you look so tired, come I can offer you a room tonight." She said it felt, sincere.
"Okay," I said and trailed behind her. We walked till we reached a door, "here is it! Go have your bath and relax dear, here is the key." She said handling a bunch of keys and left.
Oh, thank god! I opened the door and entered, I locked the door with the key room was nice and dimmed and Lighted. Should I have my bath? I mean, I'm really dirty right now.
I went to the bathroom and quickly took a bath and threw on some clothes to were going out.
I saw a man, well that man of earlier. "Awe, I was expecting you to come out only with a towel."
How did he get in here?

"What kind of a person would leave their child to suffer? I cried day and night, praying you'd come back and take me home... But you never did! You left me to die... You-""I didn't Tessa, I promise I didn't.""Really? Aunt did so many wrongs to me, but everything she said about you was right! You are a whore, a big liar, a-""Stop it, Tessa!" She cried. "I promise, I was going to come back. I left so you could have a better life! But my plan backfired against me. You can call me a whore, anything you want to call me but not a liar. A whore? That I am, I left you to be with a rich man, hoping to gain something so you would go back to school, if you recall, we had nothing and I did... I was going to come back but he wouldn't let me. I was kept as a prisoner in his home, I cried and longed every day to see you. My communication was limited but I tried to call your aunt, I got her phone number from my old jotter but her line wasn't going anymore. A month ago, he died from leukaemia and t
~**** Tessa's POV ****~It was all over. The nightmares were over, and my enemies were gone. Vick was gone.I guessed Austin already knows everything... His mother's scheme. "Since you have nowhere to go, for now, you can come to live at my family house... Well at least until you get back on your feet." He said. I frowned a bit. I didn't like him saying it until I get back on my feet. Yes, I want to be independent again, but I didn't want to leave him. Didn't he want me?I just nodded my head.~It was about a few minutes' drive, and I did not want the ride to end, it was Austin who drove the car. I sat in the back seat with Anne in my arms and Zara next to me. I caught Austin staring at me several times through the mirror. My heart pounded inside my chest. 'I love you. He loves me.We got to Austin's place. It was really huge. Like extra huge. He did say it was his family home. Austin got out quickly. He opened the door for me. I looked up at him.His handsomeness somehow always ma
---"I'm scared mom, I'm scared all we've been working for would go to waste.""Stop saying rubbish! I'm trying to think here!" Austin's mom scolded Ciara."What's the point of thinking? Nothing you do ever work out.""How dare you insult me like that? Have you no respect?""Nothing I said was a lie.""You bi-" she was cut off by the sound of the siren.It was quiet for about some minutes and someone walked into the house, it was Austin's dad.She was shocked to see her husband, she wasn't expecting to see him until Austin's wedding day."Carla!" He called her name. He rarely calls her by her name."Honey... I... I wasn't expecting you." She stuttered."I never thought you'd stoop this low, Carla." He said to her. She gulped. He sounded really angry but was calm. Mr Kings (Austin's dad) had always been calm and gentlemanly."You'd hurt your own family to get what you want..." He continued."What are you talking about?" She pretended not to know anything of what he was saying."I found
Another man came out of another car. Oh my God. He was strikingly handsome. He was brunette and tall as well. His piercing blue eyes gazed at me for a moment."Carson, it seems they aren't going to back down." He told the blonde guy."Yes Dave, the hard way it is." Replied the blonde. They were going to save us!"Ahhh!" Screamed the buff guys as they ran towards these unknown good looking guys. Quickly, I brought Anne closer to me. Blocking her sight from this terrible view. I too closed my eyes in terror.In less than a minute the noise was gone, I opened my eyes, slowly to see the buff men on the floor.Oh my God. They weren't dead as they were moving slightly. The blonde guy forcefully brought up one of the buff men. He whimpered in pain."I did suggest the easy way." He told him. A smirk plastered on his good-looking face. "Now, tell me... Where's your boss?" He asked him.He shook his head no. He wasn't going to tell him where sir Vick was...The brunette guy who I think is Dave
"Unbelievable," He muttered. "Was it all a pretence?" He asked suddenly. Almost like he already knew but needed confirmation. I had to drop this pretence. It's not going to get me anywhere, it's only going to get me more entangled.That's why he thinks I'd willingly have sex with him. If he keeps pretending, one way or the other, he could manage to pressure me into it."Why'd you suddenly drop the pretence? You know it was almost going well... Was it because of what I said?" He asked. "About us trying for a baby?" He asked. "Do you know how fucking easy it would have been to get that from you? Do you know how easy it would have been to rape you?" He held both my hands and pulled me closer to himself. Fear gripped me."Please let go of me, Vick." I pleaded."No! I'm never going to let go of you!" He growled. Different sorts of emotions ran through his face. "I will never fucking let you go!""Ple-""You're mine, Tessa! Mine!" He kept saying, angrily. Suddenly his anger seemed to have v
April walked out of his room with a smile. "Leave him be. He's taken the medication. He'd be fine." Said April.Austin had driven out of the house. He remembered the last time he had spoken to Tessa."I think that's what I meant," I said before I could stop myself but also couldn't stop myself from going on. "I know what you want, Austin. But doesn't love comes from both sides? I don't love you, I never did, and I never will. I appreciate what you've done for me and my child and if there's a way I could pay you back, I would.." Tessa had said.It brought so much pain to his heart. But he needed to get to Tessa. Now. He hoped she was okay. He hoped she'd receive him.He drove to her apartment. On reaching there he quickly got out of his car and walked to the front door. He rang the doorbell a couple of times, impatiently.The door opened a lady stood there with a child. She stared at him. "I need to see Tessa." He said.She didn't speak for about a minute. She just stared at the good-l
