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'
Christian John has been mumbling repeatedly in that drunken state, speaking all the bitter words about her. It leaves both of us in shock. What might have happened between them?Ivanna comes inside the room and closes the door.I look at her doing all the random stuff while blabbering about John. My phone buzzes again. It's Kane. He has been repeatedly calling and texting me. I keep staring at the phone, lying on the bed.I put it on vibration mode."Thea did not respond yet. Did she?" Ivanna shrugs while decluttering her research papers. "She can't just be responsible for a damn time""I tried to call Tiffany. Her phone is unreachable. We can just wait for the morning", I tell her.Ivanna looks at me. "What do you think? What might have happened between them? I don't know I'm feeling like John got to know about the truth""I don't think so. It's only possible when she'll confess it. But she's never gonna do that as far as I have known her", I say, looking at the ceiling. Ivanna's ph
Tiffany I come to the guest room and lie on the couch. It's been like five minutes since I've been trying to sleep. But I can't. And surprisingly it's not about all the chaos that's going on. But I somehow feel guilty about turning Sebastian down like that. He asked me with a lot of expectations. I know that. And it was just about a night. I know he has no such plans like that. I nervously blurted out and turned him down. Now, I feel terribly bad. He looked so embarrassed and upset with my answer.Nonetheless, I close my eyes again and try to sleep. I can't.I get up right away. Maybe, I can fix it.* I seriously knock at Sebastian's door, hoping he hasn't slept yet. It takes him a few seconds to open the door. "Hey!" he exclaims, staring at me. "You need something?""No, actually", I mutter, biting my bottom lip. "I hope I didn't wake you up""No. Not at all", he laughs. "I just came out taking a shower"I pass him a tight-lipped smile. He's just in his boxers and a t-shirt on i
Thea John can't do this to me. He can't trust their words. He can't trust what he has seen. He'll only trust me. He has to. He'll trust everything I say. And if I ever confess my deeds, he'll still trust that I can never do anything that I have confessed. I'm recklessly driving on the road, trying to spot his car I have lost track of. He has just disappeared in the dark. I have been prowling in the dark streets for an hour now. My brain has stopped functioning. I have left my phone in the mansion and I don't know where I am right now. It's midnight. There's hardly anyone on the street. My eyelids feel heavy. I'm tired and I feel like I'm gonna collapse right now. Suddenly, my gaze halts in a direction. By the streets. There's a car. John's car. I hurriedly park my car nearby and get out of my car, rushing towards it."John!" I scream at the top of my lungs, tapping the door. The window is closed and the door is locked. I'm sure he's inside. He just wants to stay away from me and
Tiffany"Good morning", Sebastian wakes me up with a handsome smile lingering on his face.I smile as I open my eyes and find him just lying next to me, staring at me when our bodies are still tangled with each other under the sheets.I can't help but blush as I recollect the moments of last night. "Good morning", I mumble as he hovers over to place his lips on mine for a few seconds. Our noses touch. "How are you feeling?" he whispers. "Good!" I say. "Just good?" he frowns as I press my lips, driving my eyes away."I thought you must be feeling something more than that", he winks as I lightly slap his arm. "Shut up!""I can't believe it was real last night", he whispers, looking into my eyes. "Me neither", I mutter."Thanks for trusting me that much"I get closer to him and press my forehead against his. We stay like that for a while and then I look around to spot the clock."It's seven!" I mutter."Yeah""We should get up now. I need to take the kids back to the mansion and se
ChristianI take her into a tight embrace. "Mama! Paa!" Chrisanna's cheerful voice brings us back to the moment. We tilt our heads back and find her running towards us, dressed up in a white frock. She looks so much better, cheerful, and strong now. After all she had been through, we're still mesmerised by the speed of her recovery. It's all her willpower, positivity, and purity that made her win this battle. Emily is standing behind her as I had told her to come and take Chrisanna with her for a couple of days and Flora will accompany her since Emily is going through a rough pregnancy period. She can't handle Chrissie alone. "Hey, my baby", Ivanna takes her onto her lap."Mama! Emmy got me the dress", she tells and looks at me. "Paa, isn't it cute?""Of course. Just like you", I tap on her nose as she giggles."Emmy told me I'll stay at her place for a few days. Why?" she asks. Ivanna looks at me. Earlier she had no idea why I told Emily to pick Chrissie. She might have thought
