Chapter 106: On to Paris
Veronica's pov
I looked around the room I had been locked in when I woke up, quickly taking in the double bed, the flat screen TV, the door I knew led to the toilet, and the brown closed curtains. I would have yelled but I couldn't as Thomas had gagged my hand and tied my hands and feet. I wondered how long I had been out as I remembered struggling with Thomas. It felt weirdly familiar and I couldn't say why. According to the picture, Hunter was supposed to be the one that kidnapped me since he was the one I left with, but he wasn't the one that kidnapped me now, so what was going on.
I totally didn't remember anything as I had been heavily drugged, but would I have allowed the man that raped me be the one that I felt most comfortable with?Something wasn't adding up and I didn't like it. I saw the doorknob moving before I heard the sound and the door opened. Thomas came in, carrying three bags filled with things. He saw me sitting on the bed and smile

EpilogueWriter's povThe smiles on the faces of the guest as they watched Hunter kiss Veronica couldn't be qualified with any English word. They all shared in the happiness of the Most unlikely yet likely couple of the year. Diana smiled as Mark kissed her cheeks, while rubbing her over grown tummy holding twins. Cynthia and Paul were also smiling, no baby yet, as Cynthia had infertility issues, but they didn't let it ruin their joy or their love. Kelly watched as Leon held her baby, feeling content and at peace. Her father had been released, his paralysis had not been permanent, now able to work after treatment. Personally, this writer would have loved it if it had been permanent, but she was all about forgiven9and second chances. Thomas had been found guilty and was given a sentence of sixty years with no chance of a parole, but Robert, his wife, Jameson and sometimes Veronica, without Hunter's permission, were occasional visitors. He had confessed to all hi
When we met again Chapter 1: Memories
Being trapped in your dreams, unable to leave the rooms in your mind because you're still asleep. This is my nightmare... Veronica Running as fast as my legs could go, I ran towards the old abandoned building ahead, knowing it was the only place for me to hide. In the light of day, that building looked forlorn and sad, but at night it looked like it housed a lot of horrors. Still I ran towards it, my mind seeing it as the refuge it wasn't. Having explored all other options, it was the only way out. Not looking back, I entered the abandoned factory through a hole in the wall, small enough to let my small body squirm through without getting stuck. Once inside, I proceeded to look for a place I could hide. It was not lost on me that my only source of light, the moon, was also my source of discovery; the building had no roof. After a quick search, I finally found a spot that was deep in the dark,
When we met again Chapter 2: The awakening
The door bell rang as I opened the door to my favorite place in the world, Diana's Oven. This place and I go way back since I moved here from Seattle. It was here I met my closest friend, Diana. Back then, I had no friend as I didn't mingle with my coursemates much. Diana was the first friend I made before Cynthia. While with Cynthia I had a sister, with Diana I had a soul mate. We had the kind of connection that couldn't be explained or reasoned with. I stood still and spread my arms wide, breathing in the scent of baking cakes. If only perfume makers made perfumes that smelt like cakes, it would have been a hit. Because of my very dramatic reaction, I heard a snickering sound at the counter and I opened my eyes and smiled at my one woman audience. "You look like you just had an orgasm." Diana said teased. "I call it cakegasm, Dee" I replied as I made my way over to the counter. I slap
When we met again Chapter 3: The meeting
It was the evening of my appointment and I had been patiently waiting to be called inside. Because of what happened with the stranger three nights ago, I almost decided to scrap the whole thing and find him. I would check if that night was real or it was something I imagined. The next morning, I was thinking of asking the Human resources manager I saw talking to him before the girls arrived when Evans jumped into my office, berating me for my stupid behavior with those two ladies. He kept yelling at me that they were daughters of influential people he was trying to keep as our clients, commanding that I should make sure I send an official apology to them, before the close of work that day. Luckily, Diana dropped by to collect something from me, hearing all he said. If not her begging me to swallow my pride and call the blond I found was named Ashley, I probably would have been out of work by now. "You should have changed those shoes," Diana said, laughing
When we met again Chapter 4: Anything different
San Francisco Veronica It hasbeen a three weeks since I started my therapy with Dr Fisher, and it was safe to say that I had seen a lot more progress than I had with all the other therapist combined. I felt this renewed zeal the fight my demons and win. Cynthia and Diana couldn't have been happier. Never did a day pass without them mentioning how they were the catalyst for my change. Everytime they would laugh, acting like I owed them the world for linking me up with Dr Fisher, all I could do was smile and promise them gifts they knew I wouldn't give, at least not without an occasion. I never failed to give them details about each of my sessions because they were interested, but I never shared the budding feeling I had for Hunter. I knew they would be happy for me but I still didn't want to rush it incase it was something fleeting. I thought the first and second meeting was a fluke, but co
When we met again Chapter 5: A blow to friendship
Veronica San Francisco, 8:27 pm "Honey, you know you are supposed to come down to celebrate with us. It's your father's thirtieth year as a preacher and his birthday." Mother said on the phone. Luckily, she couldn't see me not paying attention to what she was saying. "I know, mother. But I am currently swamped with work. I promise I'll send Father a gift, I know he will understand." I knew it was nothing compared to me showing up in church but it was the most I could do. I didn't tell father, but I didn't believe in a God that would let his daughter get raped. She sighed resignedly, "It's not about the gift and you know that. Grandma was excited to see you again. Your father and I already prepared your room." She said. I knew what she was doing and I wasn't going to fall for it. Nothing short of an emergency would take me back home, like if anyone of them had been in an accident kind of eme
When we met again Chapter 6: First date
Veronica San Francisco, 6:23 am The next day I woke up earlier than I normally did to apologise to Cynthia since she leaves early for work. I knocked and knocked on her door but I got nothing. "Cynthia, please let's talk. You know what I said was a mistake right?" I placed my head on the door as I waited for her to answer me. When fifteen minutes passed and I still didn't get anything I turned the door knob and to my surprise it was open all along. It was empty! No Cynthia In sight. Meaning she left earlier than her normal time to avoid speaking to me. That realization caused my heart to ache and I absentmindedly rubbed my chest. Quickly, I typed a ' sorry for being an idiot last night. I didn't mean it.' text. I debated whether I should send it or not. I ended up sending it with more. '.... You know I can be awkward sometimes and say things I don't m

"You haven't told me if Veronica is coming home for my birthday." Jameson asked his wife as they packed some clothes for the shelter they wanted to donate used clothes to. "You already know my answer. Veronica wouldn't want to return here. She says work and all but we know better." His wife replied, sadden by their only daughter's refusal to come home. She couldn't bring herself to look at the man she had been married to for more than thirty years. She knew he adored his little Veronica, she was the light of his heart, that was why she didn't her daughter's refusal to come home. They always had to go visit her in the city if they wanted to see her. "I'll call her again.." Betty began, not wanting to ruin her husband's mood. It wouldn't be complete for him without his daughter there to celebrate with him, even if the whole town would be present. "No, don't bother... Veronica can be very mullheaded. She'
