She heard her phone beep, interrupting her thoughts, and it turns out to be Rodger who was certainly calling to ask if she was faring fine which of course she wasn't but still had to assure him she was.Natalie had to lock her door just In case Alex might be spying on her before responding to him. Hearing Rodger's voice gave her peace of mind. As that heavy heart had to stay relaxed and weary of troubles.“Hey your voice doesn't seem okay” he beckoned, and she scoffed, assuring that she was and if keeps worrying like that he might turn out to be the one who would break down.He intended to tell Natalie that he was going to file a human right case against Alex, but he couldn't see himself telling her because he knows, she so much loves Alex that she wouldn't want to open up and speak against the injustice he was making her pass through.Natalie intended to share with Rodger that she was going to break off with Alex, but couldn't find herself doing that until she had mustered a lot of c

Vera heaved a sigh when she got to the room. She suddenly traced her hands around her waist and then tugged her hands inside the pockets of her pajamas, but what she was searching for wasn't there.“Damn it!” She cussed, groaning inside while furthering her search, but she had to stop when she tried recalling the scene that transpired between her and Alex.“He took it?” Vera mused, pacing to and fro. Just as she was lost in thoughts, her door slides open and there he was by the door leaning on it. It was like though he knew the perfect time to come in and mock her for wasting her time trying to trick him just to get him exposed.“Looking for this?” He mocked, showing her a beetle which was beeping red and Vera groaned the more as he was smart not to fall into her trap.She had kept a recording beetle with her to record their conversation just for her to gain evidence against Alex. That was why she began by handing him over that card. It wasn't like she cared, but only used that as a m

He would have broken the door knob just to get her, but he stopped after realizing that it was of no use breaking into the bathroom and threatening her to wash the way she speaks to him.Alex left the room and paced downstairs towards the dinning, where he could get an ice bag for his swollen head. How could he act so normal when some hours ago, he strangled someone! He just had to play low-key for some time just not for Natalie to figure out that Vera was no more.He got the ice bag and placed it on his forehead while wincing. Though, he intended to spend time with her tonight because it had been a while that they had a day out without him fighting or acting violent on her.Sporadically, he wished he could control himself, but it seems like through that violent act had overshadowed the good in him. He was getting pissed off placing that ice on his head and he shoved it away. He was restless and wished to see Natalie, cuddle her and make love to her. Alex desired to forget what he did

The nervous look on his face, the anxious eyes that stared at her, his puzzled lips that desired to respond. He was shocked though why she asked him that question. Could that be why she was so sober that she couldn't control her tears.Alex licked his lower lips and stared back into her eyes. What was he going to say? “I love you?” If he truly loves her, why was he treating her like a jerk and making her believe that there was no such thing as love.He shoved his face towards the drawer and took the glass of water she had offered him earlier so that he could take with the painkiller tablets which she prescribed to him. He didn't take the drugs, but only gulp the water and then stare at her again.It was like though those eyes of hers were monitoring every move he made, and it made him uncomfortable. Perhaps, he should have a quiet place where he could think about his life and his behavioral aspect mostly towards Natalie“Why do you ask?” He muttered with a sad gaze at her, and she sni

He scoffed, sniffed and snickered as he couldn't believe the fact that Natalie was with someone else, and it was actually Rodger. Seriously? When did they start their love story behind his back? The fact that he was obsessed with this woman made everything more tough that he cursed at everything around him.Tears streamed down his eyes as anger and jealousy filled him up that he couldn't control himself from screaming in the rain.Guess the passerby must have wondered if a mad man was in the rain as well. The fact that he realizes that the woman he loves was cheating on him got him pissed off that he was unable to bear the grief. He paced slowly back home. His wet body plastered everywhere with water, that he didn't mind as he was void of thoughts. The memories of seeing Rodger and Natalie kiss made him madden and nervous at the same time. He stood at the porch staring at his mansion which seemed like a cage that he needed to break free. Everyone was leaving him, and now he felt that
