The Horror!!!
The relevation leaves him in total disbelief with his eyes wide open.
"I... I... can explain..." he stutters.
I move much closer to him on the couch and touch his chin.
"You don't have to... I won't let this get between us, Seven. What we both have is real. I can feel it. And I know you can feel it too..."
Seven looks at me, his brow creased.
"Terra," he takes my hand. "Please tell me you're not joking or playing with my head! Tell me you're serious!"
I grin at him. "I'm serious, Seven. When I found out yesterday through your phone call at midnight, I was hurt. But... I have fallen for you already and I want this. I want you."
Tears sting his eyes and I stare at him in disbelief.
I didn't expect him to buy my lies so quickly. And on top of that to be this emotional?
Seven rakes his fingers through my hair and he cups my face.
" Sugar, tell me this isn't

Ren steps out and stands just behind her.They stand, staring at me as if they don't recognize who the fuck I am. Recognition clicks swiftly and Ren rushes to me."Christ!" Ren gasps touching my face. "What happened to you?""I'll explain everything later," I say in exhaustion. "Please pay the driver first..."Ren takes out his wallet and pays for the cab instantly.I bolt to the house, folding my sleeves as I head to the washrooms."First aid kit!"Ren points to the drawer and I immediately nurse my wound with a surgical spirit and Ren helps me tie a bandage around my wrist."Terra, you're scaring us..." Dee says after I'm done bandaging my wrist. "What's wrong?"

TRENT That man is not me!
Present day..."He killed his friend?"I nod my head sadly. "Then he forced me to clean up for him and drag the body to the basement."Honestly, that was it for me.I didn't care if he threatened me anymore.I had to leave him. And leave him right away.If he could kill Oscar that quick within a snap of a finger just because of some argument, I wonder what he'd do to me?There's no way I'd sit and wait to see what he'd do to me... I had to leave!"So you stole his packaged drugs and sold them?" asks CJ."Yes, to a guy he despiced. Osborne. Some rich tycoon and I sold it at a very cheap price because I needed to fly away..."CJ looks at me in worry. "It must have been hard for you...""Yes... Especially because I had to stay in h
TRENT I'm sorry!
The sun is low on the sky when CJ opens the cab door for me.I step out into a stone circular driveway in front of a mansion and I look around blindly In awe.The view of the mansion in front of us is breathtaking. The house sits on a cliff above the ocean and the low sun sets the waves on fire.CJ leads me around the house, his bag on one hand as he holds my hand with the other. We walk along the edge of a large blue pool and towards a furnished pool house.At the doorstep, is a large porcelain pot. CJ bends it over and takes a key under.CJ opens the door and I step inside to an old classic living room with artistic old paintings on the cream walls and one-armed sofas with hundreds of pillows. The table in the middle is wooden and seems like an expensive old furniture that has seen the best of years.Underneath the sofas, lays a Persian rug and just in front of the decor, sits a huge fireplace.&nbs
TRENT Just Us!
I knew this moment would come.But I swear to heavens, I was not prepared for it. I was not prepared to explain myself. I don't know if the answers I got are the right answers or if they are answers at all.I open my mouth to say something then I quickly shut up, careful with every word I'll say."Honestly, Cedric... I can blame it on a lot of things but they all come down to me. To my selfishness. It was me..."I take a deep breathe and continue."When I eloped to Russia, I did therapy because I couldn't live with what I had done to you. I had nightmares. I drank myself to sleep. Bars were my favorite spots. But therapy kind of helped me deal with what I had done in a positive manner and learn to live with myself."I swallow hard, nostalgic about those pretty dark days of my life." And through therapy, I learnt some things I didn't know about myself. I had severe anxiety. It's something I had lived with, yet didn't know
