Tessa Here I was, thinking Alexander was as scheming as Aaron said, but it turns out that he was actually right about Aaron the entire time, if only I had listened to him, maybe I would have stick to the contract and bottle up my feelings for Aaron. I was blinded by the love I had for Aaron that I fail to see who he truly was, he used me and I refused to be that vulnerable woman anymore. Why will he lead me on if he didn't feel anything for me? He just made a fool out of me, I must have looked so stupid to him all these while, I thought he loved me but I guess Lisa has his heart. "All men are liars, I fucking hate him" I cried out, as Alexander stared at me without uttering a word. "Calm down Tessa, it's not your fault" Alexander consoled me "Are you ready to go home now?" he asked. "Take me to my grandmother's house, I want to stay very far away from Aaron, I don't want to ever see him" I retorted, tears rolling out of my eyes. "Hmmmmm" he hummed and drove off. "Tessa darli

TessaI entered the living room to meet the man and woman that was at our house a few days ago, I mean my parents. They both raised an eyebrow as I walked in."Thank you for agreeing to see us" the woman, Gianna said gently, I could see how her emotions were all over the place, she looked happy.I gazed at them, one after the other before I cleared my throat.

044 Snap back
Dylan's Pov I watched Aaron lying lifeless on the hospital bed, it's been eight days since the accident and no one has heard from Tessa, her number is not going through and Mara's phone isn't going through either. I don't know what happened, only Aaron has the answers that we seek. Tessa's sudden disappearance looks so strange. Could it be that Tessa found out about Lisa's return?

"Don't worry he will be fine, the doctor said he's out of danger and he's recuperating just fine and I'm sure he will wake up soon" I said with a reassuring smile, consoling Eleanor who has been moody all day.

Tessa's Pov It's been a week since we got to H city, a whole new life and it's peaceful as long as I'm far away from Aaron. Alexander had told me that Aaron was looking everywhere for me but trust me no matter how hard he tried, he wouldn't be able to find me.

I've discarded everything that reminded me of Aaron, well except for the necklace he got for me, for some reason I was still holding on to it. "I'm done with him" I keep reminding myself. I and Alex are quite close now, he would call me from time to time to check up on me, he's not as bad as Aaron painted him to be.
