Vanessa was tense the entire time. The clerk stood by the side while Tamara silently helped Vanessa into the wedding dress. After a while, the clerk seemed to have received something on her Bluetooth earphone and excused herself.Vanessa and Tamara were the only two left in the dressing room.The huge mirror inside reflected the two women’s emotions clearly.“You look good in this dress, Vanessa.” Tamara gave Vanessa a once-over and exclaimed.Vanessa gritted her teeth. “What are you plotting?”Tamara smirked, “Can’t you see? I’m helping you out.”Vanessa muttered indifferently, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”Tamara went to zip up the back of the dress. She whispered into Vanessa’s ears, “You like James. I’m just giving you the push you needed.”Panic flashed through Vanessa’s eyes, and she felt like Tamara had just revealed her deepest darkest secret to the world. “Miss Moore, Mr. Gladwell brought you here so that YOU can try on the dress. Yet you’re putting me in t

Meanwhile, in a warehouse behind the hospital.The lighting was dim, and the area was littered with trash and waste. It also smelled of rot.James worked his way through the mess. Vanessa was tied up in a wedding gown in the warehouse’s corner.Her mouth was taped shut. When she saw James, she started sobbing miserably.James came up to her. He grabbed her chin and glared darkly at her. “Why did you wear the wedding dress? Don’t you know I’ve prepared it specifically for Tamara?”Vanessa felt shivers down her spine. Fear gripped her entire being as she shook her head wildly and sobbed.James tightened his grip on her chin. “Do you think I’m dumb? That I wouldn’t know you like me?”Vanessa continued to shake her head wildly. She begged for mercy with her eyes.“You don’t like me?” James tightened his hold on her chin.Vanessa stopped. She slowly nodded, and her eyes glistened with newfound hope.She had accompanied James to his ward but lost consciousness upon arrival. When sh

“Miss Moore! Help me!” Camilla yelled at Tamara. The two men caught up to her and grabbed her arms.“What are you doing?” Someone from the crowd tried to help Camilla, but they quickly bit back their shouts when they saw the two scary men.Tamara heard the familiar voice and turned around unconsciously. She only saw the busy crowd and couldn’t figure out who was calling out to her.What was happening?Were her ears playing tricks on her?Tamara retracted her gaze and headed for the lift.Camilla watched as Tamara left. Despair ate at her. She was dragged out of the building by the two men.“Aren’t you a runner? Go on! Try running off again!” One of the men slapped Camilla across the cheeks. He narrowed his eyes dangerously at her.Camilla groaned. Her cheeks had started swelling.“Alright. Let’s hand her over and call it a day,” said the other man. They started dragging Camilla off to the warehouse.“Did I say you could leave?” a soft voice suddenly sounded behind them.The

The knife felt cold against her skin. Shivers ran down Tamara’s spine.“Who was that?” James’s voice was gentle, but the knife against Tamara’s skin betrayed his emotion.Anger boiled inside James and woe betide anyone who dared to cross him.Tamara’s eyelashes trembled. She turned around suddenly, causing the knife to slice through her.James put the knife away unconsciously. He widened his eyes.” Have you lost your mind?”Tamara’s clear eyes were void of any emotions. “You’re the one who lost your mind. How many people have you killed?”James pursed his lips. It seemed that the cat was out of the bag.So what?James gave the knife to one of his men. “I am just trying to get rid of the ones standing between us, Tamara. Can’t you see? Vanessa is in love with me.”His words amused Tamara. “Why would I care if Vanessa likes you?”James’ face darkened. “You ought to. You are my fiancée, after all. And as my fiancée, you must know everything about me!”James grabbed Tamara’s sho

Tamara couldn’t hold it in anymore.Tears started to roll down her cheeks. She quickly turned her head away from Old Mrs. Moore.But Old Mrs. Moore misunderstood Tamara’s action. She thought Tamara didn’t accept her apologies.Her reaction made the old woman anxious. “Please don’t ignore me, Alex. I’m sorry. I really am. Won’t you look at me, Alex? Alex…”It took everything within Tamara to keep all her bitterness and sadness in check. She wiped her tears away and turned back to Old Mrs. Moore. She smiled, “What are you talking about? Why would I be angry with you? I’m doing fine in Londsville. I have a loving husband and two good children. They’re very obedient…”Old Mrs. Moore stared dotingly at Tamara. “That’s my Alex. You’ll always be the brightest star in the sky. You’ll fit right in anywhere.”“Of course!” Tamara nodded but couldn’t bring herself to meet Old Mrs. Moore’s gaze.She was afraid she would cry again if she did.Old Mrs. Moore held Tamara’s hand tightly. “It wa
