19: My Life In Black And White

last update Last Updated: 2025-05-07 15:44:22

On the day I should heal, I get brutally scarred. Not only is he a freaking arms dealer and a serial killer, he's Jax, fucking Harper! 

Now it all makes sense, the constant request for me to clean his numerous houses may just be a way to profile me. I cringe. Hate and irritation consume me to my bones. My irrational part, which he owns like a zombie, is now aware of the brewing danger. 

What if this is a trap?

Like I'm trapped in the middle of his game? 

My legs whip around and take to their heels, yielding to the adrenaline surge. I run blindly, murmuring strings of prayer as I ascend the stairs. 

I miss a step and kick the hard steel. A sharp bolt of pain jabs through my spine. A whirlwind of electric trickles in my bones. My leg goes numb. 

“Fuck.” 

My hands clasp my mouth as I block a loud cry. A sob is trapped in my throat. I blink back tears, hoping to clear my vision. 

‘RUN, TESSA!’ 

The voice returns, louder and colder. 

‘Run like your life depends on it… Run like a freaking girl!’ 

I block out the pain and keep running. Hopefully, I don't end up with amputated limbs. Now, I'm in the middle of the farm. Ella neighs, expecting her food. I run out of the gate and stop. 

I'm not sure which route to take. There has to be somewhere around. Jax may be back, and there's no chance to make it out alive. Aishath is still here. Is she aware? 

‘Fucking run, Tessa!’ 

I take the other route leading to the back of the Island. It's lined with tall coconut trees and shrubs. I take every bend, hoping to find a way out. 

Sweat drips down my body; I'm panting, and my muscles are growing weaker. I don't know how long I spend turning around the Island, but the sight of a small gate instills peace in my soul. 

Strange noises and crickets squeaking make the hair on the nape of my neck stand erect. I double my pace. 

‘Oh, god.’ The gate is locked. I'm losing my damn mind. 

My eyes roam the fence. It's not high, but certainly not low. The surface is smooth. My brain is working overtime. I fix my leg on a small space in the gate and throw my body upward. I grip the edge of the fence and pull all my weight on my grip till I fall to the other side. 

“Ahh.” My body whips the rough ground. Rocks and thorns prick my skin. 

I don't register the pain. I pick myself up and continue running. For what seems like thirty minutes, I roam around the deserted farmland. 

My phone is back in my room, there’s no way I can call for help. 

Noises of footsteps as someone approaches me make me freeze on my track. He comes into view. I heave a soft sigh on seeing it's a stranger. 

“Hello… Hey…” I stutter. I know nothing about the native Maldivian tribe. 

He gasps and whips his face to the side on seeing a half-naked woman. First, my lace is see-through; second, it's torn, revealing good skin. 

“Please, help. Help.” I sob. “I need to call home.” I demonstrate as I speak. 

He pulls out his phone and blindly hands it to me. I dial my mum's number. It's not reachable. The same as Ella. My attention is called to the absent network bar. I'm cooked. 

“Tha- thanks.” I hand him his phone and resume running. How I look in public means nothing to me at the moment. 

I'm running out of time. Soon, night will fully settle, and I may just land in another predator's trap, maybe a more dangerous one. 

An old Hilux shows up from afar as it drives along the narrow pathway. 

With all that's in me, I push through, running like I'm seeing the finish line. My legs are bruised and hurting. I stop in the middle of the road and continuously flag down the rickety vehicle. 

It slows down. While I hope that it's a lady, I don't have a choice. I can't even imagine what would be going through the driver's mind at the sight of a naked damsel. 

Then it stops. 

“Please, help.” I rush over to the driver's door and beat the shaky window. 

The glass slowly winds down, revealing the face of my monster. One hand is on the wheel, and the other is clutched around a bloodied knife. 

“Did you miss your way, mama?”

    Tessa Morris. “Men,” I choke on a laugh. “Just a nasty bunch of shitheads.” I scoff. “It's been two fucking years since I…” The creepy silence makes me pause. Reality slowly sifts in, and I'm staring at the wide eyes of my book club members. They gasp in awe, including Miss Rebecca, the host. What the fuck?! Jerking out of my mind, I look at the blank page of my diary. I was supposed to be writing my thoughts on the question; describe your ideal man, not spew shit. “Tessa,” she gently approaches me. Her hair is tinted white, and she is in cooperative attire even though this meeting is informal. “Do you want to talk about it?” My jaws are still on the floor. Scanning the sea of heads, a pair of daring green eyes watch me. “Uh… no.” I stammer. My phone beeps, saving me a lifetime of explanation. ‘A new gig. The Thompsons need your cleaning services. 6 PM prompt - Manager.’ It's just 4 PM and it will only take me twenty minutes of hopping the bus to get there. “I h

    ‘He knows my name?!’My body goes icy cold. In my head, millions of conflicting ideas take flight. Immediately I get a grip, I dash in like a lunatic, and slam the door shut. I secure the lock and press my back to the wooden door. My heart is pounding in my chest. ‘Who are you?’ I still can't get any words out. ‘Is it James?’ ‘No. James never smelled this good. He was always a mix of ginger and sweat. He used his excuse as a bar owner to never clean up.’ ‘Then who?’I don't have any friends in the city. I moved away from home just to get my shit together. Not having the time to think straight, I ensure the door is locked over and over again. Next, I close the windows, and sit up in bed, frightened. My shirt is literally soaked with sweat. The night is still fresh, and I am about to pass out from anxiety. ‘Call the damn cops! What if it's a false alarm?!’ Slowly, I lose grip of consciousness.I don’t know how long I passed out, but a text from my phone startled me. ‘Cleaning

    Naked and obedient, I sit on the bed. My arm crosses my chest, barely covering my big breasts. The other stays in between my thighs, guarding my body. My eyes are on the masked man in front of me, not peeling away from his intense green eyes. Those piercing pairs that could see through even the darkest soul, so charming and pure, only that they belong to a monster. The room is totally silent. As if he's counting every second, he taps his alligator boots on the wooden floor. He is rich… fucking rich. I can smell it. Feel it… But I still can't tell who he is.“How dare you?” He breaks the silence. His rich baritone, a smooth sultry British accent, echoes in the small room and brings chills down my spine. “How dare you steal the only thing I cherish, Tessa?” My eyes narrow. Steal? In one mili second, my brain rakes through the past. Never have I ever stolen. “You walk in so nonchalantly like the world is nothing.” He groans. “Sway those gracious hips and let the world burn wit

    Jax Harper2 Weeks Earlier.With an epileptic cry and my muscles rigid from a mild spasm, I jolt out of a bad dream. My shirt is soaked with sweat, leaving it in a darker shade of brown, like I got plunged into a river.“Fuck.”I sigh and relax back in my seat. I'm in the backseat of my car, in the damn public, and heading to finish off business, yet what only remains my nightmare found a way to crawl out in the day- for the first time. This is a part of me that the world must never know. I've trained all my life burying it in the dark. I'm used to it, used to the feeling of being suffocated in my nightmares, and waking up with hard pimples that could prick your skin, but having daydreams is weird. It’s either I’m terribly relapsing or it’s just a normal reaction since I'm closer to the source. My focus slowly shifts to the bustling city. San Francisco is more beautiful than I recall; foggy hills, electric neighborhood, thriving technology. Still, I won’t spend another day breath

    Jax Harper“Tessa Morris.”I murmur her name for the umpteenth time as if rehearsing for a show. It's been two long hours since Charlotte innocently spilled her name, and it's still reverberating, drumming in my ears like rain platters on the roof. My fingers subconsciously zoom in and out of her photo, accustomed to the exercise. Just as nonchalant as she is about anything, her social media handles are equally suffering. It's a miracle seeing a photo of her from three years ago. She's in a beige-colored dress, her lips are cherry as ever, she's always been all shades of perfection. She's holding a burnt bread with a small pout; I bet her mum put her up for the ‘Family's Bakery commercial. “Sir,” my driver's voice interrupted me. “The jet is ready.” I lock my phone, keeping my new obsession private. The drink Charlotte had poured me is still untouched, same as the small slice of cake on the foil. The plan was to relax over brunch while the team set up the process. I'm based in Bel

The kind old lady can't do without me. As if needing a blissful reminder, the sweet memory of last night clogs my mind. And the promising one of today, messes me up. Am I ready to miss that for hours of hard labor? ‘... for two days.’Tap.I send the text after completing it. It's unprofessional and awful, but it's the only way out. I may probably not have a job after this madness. ‘You don't have any fancy dress. Nothing!’ My mind screams at me. ‘You can decide to either sit here and sulk, or get your ass up!’I groan and crawl out of bed. The morning sun sips in through the open windows. I do my morning routine of a quick yoga, coffee, ticking my fucking ‘Goodbye James’ calendar, and hitting the shower. Done, I settle for a simple black dress. Before my obsessed stalker comes ov

    A skimpy black lace dress is draped over the table, next to a small box. It's the only reminder I need for what today is. Excitement creeps along my skin, leaving me with a tingly sensation. A goofy grin plaster across my face. Good heavens!I lazily roll out of bed and walk over to the box. In my usual fashion, I'm naked. Even though a part of me was scared last night, after his request to tape me, I still left the windows open. A bouquet. A tape. A note. Monster.I chuckle. He's such a jealous bug. This freshly picked bouquet is bigger and finer than yesterday's. A fancy black rope pulls them in a bundle. “Hmmm,” I sniff and hum, letting the sweet smell fill my lungs.My small hands reach for the cute black recording tape. My mind screams within my chest, scolding me to come to my senses. I know what it means if I ever click the green button. Like he set me up to burn, he had handed me the match to set the fire that'd consume me. Dominant and manipulative. ‘You won't do it,

    Something doesn't feel right… My body freezes in place. I'm on a freaking island in the middle of the Indian Ocean! “I see someone misses me,” he gives his small, charming smile, and slips his phone into the pocket of his pants. I force a smile. It feels like my heart will jump out of my mouth. Before you blame me, he's all shades of perfection. I can't tell what it is about him that pulls me to him without effort.“Tell me,” his hands curl around my waist, and he gently rocks me to his frame. “How much do you miss me?”I feel blood pool beneath my skin and clog beneath. I'm going hot for a man I should push into the ocean and flee to safety. My lips pout at their own will. My body has a way of betraying me when it's about him. “Speechless, huh?” He chuckles and leans in to press wet kisses along my neck. “You smell so, delicious.” He moans against my skin. I hold my breath and try not to gasp from his kisses. When he nibbles the soft flesh beneath my chin, I suck in cool air

    From a million miles above the ground, I watch the city shrink into a small segment on the world's map. No matter how I strain my eyes, I can't make out my house or the church… Everything is a blur. I'm on top of the world! A big grin plasters across my face. I'm this close to screaming out loud. Frankly, I've never been to the Maldives, never had a decent vacation until him…I recline back in my seat and turn to face him. Just like me, his belt straps him to his seat. He smiles. Wrinkles line the side of his eyes regardless of the mask. He looks charming still.“Is there something on your mind?” I smile and nod to his question. “With you, I always have something to say.” His long fingers drum on his thigh. Then he looks at me again, eyes inviting me to something more. “I hope they are all good.”I heave a soft sigh. Without thinking through my actions, I damn the consequences and unbuckle my belt, then latch onto him. My ass grind against him, kneading him beneath me, and fe

    My cheeks are cherry red with embarrassment. I avoid the wide eyes of everyone and keep adjusting my dress as guilt gnaws in my chest. I stand beside Ella and her groom, and the chatterbox ladies. Slowly, I turn to steal a glance at my tormentor. He relaxes in his seat, so unbothered. When our eyes meet, he squeaks.The hell! “By the power bestowed upon me, I announce you husband and wife!” The pastor’s declaration makes the guests burst with excitement. I refocus on the couple.“You may kiss your bride.” There’s a hint of amusement in his tone. Peter and Ella have a blissful moment. We dance behind them as they walk outside of the building. Ladies rally around the bride, ready to catch the bouquet. I’m in front of them, with the three musketeers beside me. Somehow, their words creep into my head, and they eye me as if they know I'm diving for it. ‘Damn them and go for that bouquet!’ My brain scolds me. I’m floating in my thoughts when something rough smacks my face and lands o

    'The face of my monster... deliciously pretty, like a perfect gentleman even though he's the opposite.' His eyes hold mine in a long stare, and the side of his lips twitch. Not looking away, he leans into me, hair tickling my skin in gentle strokes. Oh... god...It's everything about him that drives me wild. I gulp dryly and hold my breath. I can feel my panties go sticky and cling to my body. "Hmmm," he murmurs. His hair teases my bare skin, leaving thick bump-like spikes. "Don't beat yourself up, mama." A dark throaty chuckle follows. "It's a hyperrealistic silicone mask." Wait... what?!My lips part in realization. I search along the fine edges of his face to detect the mask. I feel played. "My invitation is past due... but I'll wait. For you."His deep baritone reverberates deep in my head. It smoothly takes me back to the yacht... our pending date night. As if he didn't just mess with me, he stands upright and adjusts his jacket. No apologies given for the cocky show, he

In the room we’re lodged in, we can hear the drum rolls and choristers’ chords burst into sweet melody. It’s happening! “Y’all have to hurry, honey.” My mum rushes into the room. She’s in a gorgeous light pink dress with a pencil tip. “You don’t want to keep your groom waiting forever.”Rumi and the other ladies are in one part of the room, dusting on makeup and drawing their eyebrows to perfection while I try to get Ella fully ready all by myself. Not like I'm complaining, but if their mean asses should be here, then they should be useful! Ella’s makeup is finished and she’s now in her dream dress. All zipped up and ready.“Here you go.” I playfully throw her veil over her face and heave a loud sigh. “You look… beautiful.” I lean over her shoulder to whisper. “Adam will be left drooling over his perfect bride.”Ella pouts and looks up at me. Her breathing breaks in soft whimpering.
