Tiffany He's just in front of my eyes, looking straight at me with that gaze that makes my heart twist. I take a step back as he lowers his eyes and presses his lips together as if he's unable to look into my eyes. All of a sudden, those flashes hit me again. I clench my fist, gazing at him with all the agony I was holding inside. Then I start walking towards the gate as fast as possible. Why is he here? Why now? Where was he when I was hurting like hell the entire day?Yes, he was obviously drinking and fucking around with Thea. "Tiffany!" I hear his voice chasing me and force my legs to walk faster toward the car."Tiffany, please stop!" he pleads and the next moment he reaches me, clasping my arm. I feel a shiver down my spine as he pulls me closer to him, turning me around but I jerk his hand off. He hesitantly looks away as if regretting touching me like that. I gaze straight at him as our eyes meet. The way he just stares at me like that, as if he's guilty and hurt too,
Thea "Are you serious? I have been waiting for an hour in your fucking office. And you just disappeared without letting your staff know. I'm not so available to wait for an fucking hour", I lash out at Sebastian when he walks into the cabin and straight comes to his desk, roughly shoving some stuff aside.He doesn't utter a word and acts like I don't even exist. "I'm talking to you", I grunt.He finally looks at me with a cold glare, making me mum on the spot. "Oh, you have some important work to do apart from just fucking around, Mrs Fox? Then why don't you just do that instead of working a bit for your own mess", he shrugs. "Ugh! You're in a mood today. Why are you lashing out at me?" I scoff, watching him frustratedly slumping on the chair. He looks freaked out. "What's wrong? You got something about this case? Are Christian or his lawyer up to something on the next hearing?" I ask nervously since I have no clue what they are up to. We haven't come face to face ever since. "
Tiffany Sebastian's words make my stomach churn and deliver goosebumps all over my body. I grip my phone tightly, catching my breath as I had lost it for a while. His words are still buzzing inside my head, fresh and loud. I feel my heart thudding faster. It causes my chest to ache but I gulp down. "I know I'm sounding crazy. But I think— I have—" he chokes. "I have literally gone crazy for you. I can't tell you how I passed these two days""You think it was worse than what I have been through, Sebastian?" I grunt."I didn't mean that", his voice shivers. "I know. I know that I hurt you in the worst way possible but it didn't go well with me either, Tiffany", he says, huffing."You know what? I don't care anymore. If you think you can lure me with your sweet words again, you're fucking wrong. Go and chant this scripted monologue to other women that will trust you", I spit out of frustration.It's not that my heart didn't race faster when he confessed this. It's not that my heart did
Ivanna Three days have never felt this long. We have nothing in our hands except for some truths and witnesses who can't help us at all. Jarred seemed to have disappeared in thin air. Looks like he never existed. Kane has been working his ass off to hunt him down. Among all this, life seems to be so normal, except it's not. Christian's company had started losing funds due to the pressure of some agencies supporting Thea. It's strange that those women who support her just because she's a woman have no clue about the things that have happened. They aren't supporting her because she might be a victim. They are supporting her because she's a woman. They had enough social media posts with Christian's picture attached, "Look what a giant man he is. And look at the woman. Who do you think can force the strength?" It made my blood boil but also made me laugh at the stupidity of people. Things kept going out of hand. "We know such businessmen think they can get away with anything a
Tiffany I come out of Sebastian's grip right away as he rolls his eyes. "So, I can see everything is sorted, ha?" Thea's smirk widens. I find it better to avoid and get started to make a quick snack.However, Thea walks slowly towards us. I'm in zero mood to listen to her nonsense anyway. "See ya! I told you", I hear her saying with a sarcastic tone. "You just need to apologise a couple of times and emotional blackmail always works. Especially for a woman like Tiffany. No?" My heart wrenches as I look up at Sebastian with disbelief. He was already staring at me. My hand is still in his grip as he squeezes my hand and shakes his head NO slightly, his eyes screaming at me to not believe her.And out of the blue, I feel like I trust him. Everything he had been doing for the past two days, I can't accept that those efforts were fake by any means. Sebastian shifts his eyes back to Thea with a deadly glare. "Oops! Sorry, I'm not messing it up again", Thea grins and looks at me. "Are y
TheaMy eyes flare open as John breaks into the room. Fuck! It can't be true. It can't happen. I gulp down, my heart beating out of tremendous horror as I find him groaning and glaring at us. I realise I'm still holding Sebastian's shoulder and he's holding my waist. Damn!I immediately push Sebastian aside. "Get off me!" Then I run towards John, immediately hugging him while trying my best to weep. "Thank God. You have come. I can't tell you how much scared I was, John. I don't know what's wrong with this man suddenly. He tried to force me"John doesn't respond, nor does he hug me back which makes my throat dry up in fear. Did he– did he hear us? Fuck! No. It shouldn't happen. Suddenly, I feel his strong grip around my arms as he pulls me away from him and in no time, without giving me another chance, he pulls me towards him. His eyes are dark, shivering and making my entire body vibrate in fear. I feel his grip getting tightened with each passing second."John, what are you—""I.
Tiffany "Why are you saying sorry?" I mutter. He lets out a deep sigh and lowers his gaze. "I shouldn't have hidden so many things from you. I shouldn't have kept you in darkness. Just because I did that, you had to be hurt for no valid reason. That situation could have been avoided if I simply told you about it"He's with a disappointed tone. "I just— I could not tell you because whenever I'm with you, I don't feel like talking about anything else. The bond I shared with you had nothing to do with this case, Thea, and her filthy actions. Even though I met you because of this case, it has always been different. I wanted to keep our moments, our relationship away from all this negativity. That's where I messed it—""Stop!" I gasp and look away. "You're making me feel more guilty, Sebastian""Why would you feel guilty?" he exclaims. "Because I didn't trust you. I didn't listen to you when you were begging to explain", my voice breaks. "I said so many bad things to you. I— I'm sorry"
Tiffany "Ah! Thank God. Garry already dropped the dinner", Sebastian says, picking up a package from next to his door. He peeks inside the package. Sebastian looks at us. "There's some f—" he pauses, maybe realising there are kids around. "Some damn pizza. I hope it's okay. Or else I can make something else""Okay, I think I like you", Ryan says with his narrow eyes at the pizza boxes. "I'm blessed finally", Sebastian lets out a sarcastic sigh, making me giggle."Well, it's okay. They get food from outside once in a while", I say with a smile."Great!" Sebastian hands me the boxes and unlocks the door. We come inside and Sebastian turns the lights on. "Wow! Your place is cool", Kevin says, looking around."Ah! You liked it?" Sebastian asks."Yeah. I always liked vintage setups with small spaces but mom never let us move to small places", Kevin says. "So, I decided when I'll be eighteen and will move out, I'll get a place like that""That's a great idea!" Sebastian replies. "You'
