DARRELL

Chapter 11The first thing I noticed was her scent. It was nothing like it used to be. Her intoxicating vanilla mint flavour was completely gone, all that was left was a scent I couldn't recognise. Did she go as far as changing her natural scent just to erase the memories of me? Of us? “No. Get away from me.’’ Her voice cracked, and she slipped her hand between us, using every strength left in her feeble body to try to push me off. But there was no way I was letting her out of my arms after finally getting the chance to hold her this close. “I'm sorry.’’ I whispered, clenching my jaw to hold back the tears that threatened to sting my eyes. “Help! Somebody, please help me!’’ She screamed to my greatest shock. My heart skipped at that unnerving gesture, and I was quickly reminded about when she mentioned at the entrepreneurs party that she would scream if I didn't let her go. I realised she was really going to do it.“Hear me out, Meagan.’’ I tried to make her look at me, but sh

Chapter 12 My face reddened thinking about how Darrell showed up in my office yesterday. My head had been hurting since then. I don't even want to think about how he held me possessively to himself. He used to be so good with his hands. Was it still the same now? Or did he lose his spark after two years? “Gosh, Meagan.” I palmed my face loudly, embarrassed of my image staring back at me in the mirror. “Hey, Meg. Are you okay in there?’’ Darrell knocked on the bathroom door, forcing me to a jolt. “Oh, yes please. I'll be out in a few.’’ I answered and proceeded to do my morning skin care routine. Honestly, I wasn't feeling like going to the office today. Aside the fact that I felt utterly defeated, I dreaded the thought of Darrell showing up again. I wasn't sure about how I'd take it down this time. Minutes stretched long enough for me to have picked out a dress for the day, but I was only finishing up with my face care. Surprisingly, Danny hadn't come to knock or check on

MEAGAN

Chapter 13Black hoodie, black face masks, with his hands tucked in his jackets in a manner that suggested they clutched something beneath. It felt like an imagination in the beginning, sensing someone behind me and turning back to see nobody. I kept tugging forward, clutching my coat, until a few windows exposed his figure following behind me. My fingers trembled in cold sweat, my legs pale from nervousness. The spot my ride was supposed to pick me up is an old subway away from the streets where a number of legs walked through. Once I was certain that the hoodie man was on my tail, I couldn't risk heading to the subway and giving him the chance to come on me. I searched nervously through my purse for my phone and it took every stream of blood in my legs to force my feet to a cold stop in the middle of the busy street.Right on the glass of my screen, I saw the masked man also stop behind a tree, fondling with his pockets like he was searching for anything. My heart sank deep into

Chapter 14I adjusted my shirt collar, clearing my throat to discard the effect of the scene I just came back from.I should have knocked! Now I understood why a man should never walk into a lady’s bedroom even though she was a tomboy. All I wanted to do was let Meagan know I would be stepping out for the night. Digesting my looks in the mirror one last time, I went for my bedside cabinet and got a pen and paper. I scribbled in some words about my intention of possibly spending the night out and also the fact that I was sorry for barging into her bedroom like that. I blew out a deep breath before stepping out of my bedroom, running down the stairs to the living room. Meagan was nowhere to be seen, meaning she probably hadn't left her bedroom yet. Good enough!I placed the paper on the glass table with the pen on top of it, that way it was very obvious so Meagan would easily notice it. But just then, I heard her bedroom door click from upstairs and my heart missed beats. I rushed to
