Chapter 7

Penulis: Willow Rivers
Thomas looked down, his face the picture of regret.

I stepped closer to him.

"That first time, when I was pregnant, you brought that actress home and shoved me down the stairs. I lost our first baby because of that.

"The second time, you made me go to your office, and there, right in front of everyone, your secretary accused me of stealing. You forced me to apologize to her over drinks, and that's when I lost our second baby.

"And the third time, you lied about being too busy to go with me to the doctor's, but you were actually out shopping with some other woman. I got hit by a car on my way there and lost our third baby.

"You never cared about what I wanted. After getting me pregnant, you just ignored me. The women you paraded in front of me, the cold things you did—they hurt me, Thomas. By the third year, I couldn't even work anymore. I just sat at home, waiting for you, thinking that being by your side was enough. But I'm a person too, Thomas. I can't keep taking this pain... I

    "No, I'm on my way out." I held up my plane ticket, my reply as icy as the air between us.The smile vanished from Thomas's face like a light flickering out."I... I...""Thomas, just go back. Us meeting? It was a mistake."I found out about Samuel. You couldn't even say sorry, let alone spill the truth to me.""No! That's not true!"Thomas's voice thundered as he clutched my shoulders, his eyes brimming with tears."Rebecca, I was terrified. If you knew it wasn't me who saved you, you'd never look at me the same way again. Five years of marriage, and every glance you threw my way, I could tell you were thinking of someone else. It's... it was agonizing."I'm filled with regret. I shouldn't have treated you like that. Now I realize, even if I'm second best to Tracy, it doesn't matter. I just want you."It was the first time I ever saw him cry.It seemed even a guy like Thomas cried just like anyone else, tears pouring out non-stop.It was just as irritating.I shoved his ha

    The shock of it all sent me into a fever the next day.Frank came rushing over, worried sick about me.He scooped up my feverish, unconscious self and rushed me to the hospital.When I came to, I saw Frank's anxious face and managed a weak, "Thanks for the hassle.""We're friends, Rebecca. You're all by yourself in a foreign land. Looking out for you is just what friends do."His words touched me more than I could say.Out of the blue, I blurted out that I wanted to go home.Frank got the wrong idea, thinking I was pining for Thomas.Seeing his look of exasperation, I quickly set him straight, telling him I just had some unfinished business back home.Frank seemed half-convinced, but eventually, his face turned red as he stammered, "Well, once you've sorted everything out, you better come back, okay? I'll be right here waiting for you."I got the earliest ticket I could find.I pieced together the old clues from Samuel's kidnapping.I then found myself standing in a graveya

    Thomas saw how I had stood up for Frank. Blinded by jealousy, he lost it. He yanked me into his car with brute force.I was pinned down on the passenger seat, helpless.His grip was iron on my arms as he showered me with rough, domineering kisses.I fought back with everything I had, the metallic taste of blood filling my mouth, but he would not stop.As he started to tear at my clothes, I hit my breaking point and shoved him off.I grabbed a pin from my shirt and straightened it with trembling hands, pressing its sharp end to my throat."Thomas! Come any closer and I swear I'll do it right here in front of you!"Thomas froze, staring at me in shock, his eyes filled with unmistakable pain.I slapped him hard, leaving his cheek flushed red.Thomas stammered out an apology, "I'm sorry... Rebecca, I just... I really wanted us to start a family. Can't we just go back and make things right?""Get out of my sight!" I screamed at him and flung the car door open, ready to escape.I

    The girl who had tipped me off about Thomas earlier approached me after the incident. "Rebecca, why did the cops take that guy away?""He's not a good guy.""He's so dreamy, and he was always helping out here. I thought you guys were an item." She clung to my sleeve, bubbling with excitement. "However, it's awesome you're not together!"I can't get enough of your sweets, and my brother is single too. Can I set you up with him?"I held up a finger to stop her. "Thanks, sweetie, but I'm not looking to date right now."She did not get the hint, though.Three days later, she brought her so-called brother to my shop.Frank Johnson, blond and blue-eyed, had a face as delicate as a porcelain doll, just like a girl's. He blushed as he said, "You're even prettier than your photos."...The little girl tugged at my sleeve, her eyes wide with anticipation. "Hey, can I get a mango pudding, please?"Frank started showing up at my shop more often after that, like he could not stay away.

    Tracy's voice was heavy with fatigue as she said her piece before ending the call, "Thomas, come tomorrow. I'm out. I'm leaving the Wells family behind. I'll be gone, but don't think for a second that means I've stopped hating you."Chloe, eyeing Thomas's scowl, leaned into his arm reassuringly. "Mr. Wells, don't sweat it. You've won. Tracy can't touch you now."Rebecca's gone, and that's that. Mr. Wells, you've got a line of women waiting to be your bride."Thomas's reaction was swift and fierce—he grabbed Chloe by the hair.Chloe's scream sliced through the air, "Sorry! I'm so sorry, Mr. Wells, I shouldn't have said that!""You! If it weren't for my plan to push Rebecca away, I wouldn't bother with you or your sorry bunch. You really thought you were the queen bee of the Wells family, didn't you?" Thomas spat out the words before releasing her hair, sending Chloe crashing to the floor.He crouched down, his hand gripping her throat. "We're not done here."You caused that car c
