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
It was a strenuous day for Natalie, and she paid a visit to Rodger, who would keep her company. Only he could give her the comfort she desired, and he always made time for her.She was up to tell him about her intentions to break up with Alex, and he liked that idea. He had also opened up that he intended to sue Alex for human rights violations, as it seems like he wouldn't change easily except being punished for his crimes.Natalie agreed to that though she was scared, but that was for the good because she couldn't watch him mistreat her. The world wasn't a fairy tale where a woman's love changes a monster because this was reality. He didn't look like one who crave for good anymore but for evil.She gave him all the love she could, but he grew worse, and they weren't married yet, and so she had a choice to leave or else might die in his hand.They were both at the balcony chatting and drowning their sorrows with funny talks. Rodger couldn't believe that soon the woman who makes him l
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
“Natalie walk faster! I'm dying of pains!” He wailed, pulling his feet from the flip flop he wore and facing them to her. Her gaze was shifted to her phone. She had asked Rodger to call her up at that time because she wanted to hear his voice.His mind wasn't even on who called but on Natalie who was standing like a manqué with the first aid kit in her left hand while her eyes were lowered at him.Her fear was on whether Alex had responded to the call because she saw him place the phone to his ear when she came in, but then he flung it back to the bed. Now he was behaving like a child who wanted his mother's attention, faking to be seriously in pains just for Natalie to attend to him.However, her mind was thinking about Rodger, if Alex figures out that she had been cheating, it was going to be tough, yet, she desired to be with Rodger and now, she was ready to tell Alex that it was over, but that would be the next day.While she ran to the study room to get the first aid kit, she had
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
The ringing sound of the doorbell woke him up. He muffled and jerked up from the bed, feeling all lazy, tired and stressed. He scrutinized the room and realized where he slept, expecting to see Natalie beside him, but she wasn't there.A sigh left him as he recalled her question of last night. He wondered how she was going to react if she figures out that her sister was dead.He folded his lips and exhaled. Somehow, he felt like apologizing for his mistakes and try his best to bring out the good once again in him. Alex shut his eyes as her tears from the earlier hours disturbed him. Perhaps, those tears hurt him as they sank into his heart that he had to answer questions which had been lingering around.While he was asleep, he kept dreaming about her, he noted that they really didn't have any fun moment with her, and it made him more guilty. Perhaps, that look on her face made him realize how his relationship with her had been and now, he wishes to make it up to her.“Natalie” he mutt
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
His intentions was to end everything and now, he was intending to commit suicide. He got to the rooftop and glanced below his mansion as he could view the height at which he stood. There was feeling of remorse written all over him that he couldn't think anylonger but just wish for death to come. His heart stopped beating at every place that his eyes gaze upon made his skin scorch hot. His eyes took a glimpse at the sky which was cleared of the cloud. Perhaps, it was anticipating for what Alex's next plan could be. It not surprising that the sky would bear witness of his death because it was going to be in an open space. Certainly, he thinks that's the only way to end his guilty conscience or the grief, betrayal among other things that had taken place in his life.It would just be perfect with no one asking or blaming him from killing himself after all, his execution might be death or life imprisonment. He was standing on the guardrail. The rain had subsided and only the cool breeze b
