Chapter 28
“Test me.” he said with his arms crossed. ‘It was Dominino and he works here, can you believe it?
domino? Your ex?” “Yes, but . . .
Before I could explain, he ran out of the room. “Wait, Tristan.”
I called, but he didn’t look back. “Oh God.”
I moaned. I looked into the new room and couldn’t believe that Tristan had attacked Dominiano and taken me to another hospital.
I looked around and turned on the TV with an angry look on my face and a smile. – I shouldn’t have done it. he ignored me
“He’s a good guy who’s getting married and a father soon. He’s not the same person.”
“I do not care.”
– He spoke and left the room. “This child.” I murmured.
The door opened and I waited for Tristan, but it was Adrian and Karen. “Hello?” Adrien asked with a smile.
“I’m still breathing.”
I told Karen instead. “You just have to know.”
he said smiling.
“How do you think Adrian will feel when the truth is revealed?”
I said calmly. And I saw her biting her chin tightly. “I know he’s not healthy, but I can’t come here if he sees me as responsible for what happened to him.”
Adrien looked angry, like he was crying.
“It’s okay, go home.” See you later.’
“good.”
He kissed her lips and looked at me.
– Hi, Chloe.
His expression was the exact opposite. After Adrian left, he approached the bed.
– I know it’s not your fault, but you’re hurting Karen for no reason.
“Is there a reason?” He doesn’t care about you, he doesn’t love you, Adrian. She has a boyfriend and she’s taking advantage of you”
“that’s enough!” to screw up. ‘You’ve gone too far. I know you’re not feeling well, but I’m worried. Stop it. Don’t be jealous, Chloe.
“What the?”
I jumped right in and laughed. “IT. Ben. for. you. Adrian. Parker.” I said every word with anger. – Then leave him alone.
– He spoke and left the room.
Karen was a great actress, she got it
wrapped around his fingers. Tristan returned and was no longer angry.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t feel well”
Will you stay there after knowing this?
It was your ex, he was responsible
Scars on back.
“Anything.”
I closed my eyes and grunted, trying to come to my senses.
‘Well, that wasn’t the answer I was hoping for. Are you ok?”
“Yes”.
‘Would you like to go for a walk? The doctor told me to go for a walk.
“I’m tired.”
“Come on, Cassie.”
“I don’t want to walk now.”
“good?”
The next day I went for a walk, and my feet felt strange on the floor, but I quickly got used to it. Tristan took my hand and circled the back of my hand as we walked while looking at the other patients in the building.
We sat under a tree, it’s a little cold outside today, and winter is coming. “I can buy us a penthouse and stay there until it’s all over and the man is in jail.”
“Does anyone know about him?” – My family and Adrian.
– Then I think Karen knows. “Cathy, please.”
He moaned and I closed my eyes.
‘He talked about Fiona that night and said he did it for her. Do you remember Fiona? The person I always call when I have nightmares.”
I told him. Something flashed in his eyes and he turned away from me and was silent for a few seconds.
“Tristan?”
“No way, Cassie.” Karen was out of town that night. It’s definitely someone else.”
I sighed and gave up.
– You shouldn’t have told anyone. You can’t trust anyone now, not even Adrian, your family, not even me.
I said my last words softly. ‘We both need a place to hide. It’s just you and me.
He said he took my hand.
“Then book a suite in a great hotel where no one should know us.”
I said. – Only the two of us? it shone
“Yeah, no one should know we’re staying there.”
I looked into his eyes and said. “good.”
As she smiled, I sighed in relief.
I booked a nice suite in a hotel in the city center. I was laid off last week and had everything planned.
Tristan gave Morris a month’s leave and I immediately let Morris go. The suite was large and had everything. No one knew we were here and said we were going on vacation. The doctor gave me some pills and told me that I would have a migraine in the future because of the damage Karen had done to her.
“I feel so good.”
I moaned as I rubbed my black back
leather couch. “Do you know how it feels though?” Tristan asked hoarsely.
He moved closer to my body and ran his hand through my shirt and over my thigh. “you.”
He brought it to my lips and kissed my chin and neck as I smiled.
Reaching for the rope that bound the dress, he untied it. I closed my eyes and arched my back as his hands explored my body. I ran my fingers through his hair, stifling my moans. ‘I didn’t open the box, you know?
he told me to stop
“I can do it tomorrow.”
– I brought his head closer to me and said and our lips kissed slowly. A little break never hurt anyone and I enjoy it.
I stayed in the apartment for a week and I didn’t even have a cell phone to call. It was great, we met, we played silly games, he taught me how to cook, I let him watch chicks with me and we made love every night.
We didn’t want it to end, we were crazy about Karen, gossip and there wasn’t much to worry about. Tristan let us drink today and hid all the alcohol in the apartment since we arrived.
We sat on the bedroom floor. I wore his black t-shirt and he only wore his panties. We sat quietly and looked out over the city. I took a sip of brandy and rested my head on his shoulder. There was a country song playing on the TV in the room.
Fiona was my friend.
I was surprised when he suddenly spoke. “We have been dating for almost five years and were planning to get married. I proposed to her on her birthday.”
He paused for a moment and took a sip. ‘We loved each other so much and he was my best friend and everything. She wanted to have children, she wanted to get pregnant before getting married and she refused to wait. He was so desperate for reasons.”
His tone began to change and guilt crossed his face.
“He had health problems, didn’t he?”
Seriously first. “I was told that high blood pressure can lead to preeclampsia during pregnancy, which puts the pregnancy and the baby’s life at risk.”
He was silent for a moment.
‘But she said it was after her first pregnancy and she lied about being safe and I trusted her. I was so stupid.”
His hands were clenched and I put them together for comfort. “I was stupid.”
I could hear the pain in his voice.
‘During childbirth, she and the baby died due to severe convulsions and high blood pressure and could not be saved. It’s my fault, I should have known he was lying. I would have stopped him and he wouldn’t have died. IT
both for him and for the baby. I was then hundreds of kilometers away
I needed them.
He collapsed and I hugged him. “It’s not your fault.” I whispered.
‘He shouldn’t have taken this stupid business trip when he needed to. I should have known it was a lie, that I killed her, Cassie, it’s no one else’s fault.
he cried
‘Tristan, it’s not your fault. You did not know.
“He was very young and wanted to travel the world, but he didn’t have the opportunity. Even a child…”
He stopped and cried.
‘Shh, okay,” I whispered
he stroked her hair I got close
I pulled him into my arms. I cry like a baby and blame myself
What happened. “it’s fine.”
I whispered and kissed his head.
‘So it’s not that I’m celebrating my birthday, it’s just to remember what happened.
he told me “It doesn’t matter, it’s not your fault.”
‘I was in jail all day at their funeral and his family hated me and didn’t want me anywhere near the funeral, so when I went they called the police.
Goodbye to my daughter and her mother, she wakes me up at night, Cassie. I never said goodbye.”
I couldn’t imagine what she went through to lose her love for life and a child she would never have. After all these years, he still felt guilty. “Will be fine.”
I whispered as I stroked his hair.
Despite the circumstances, I wondered if he was telling the truth. We returned home two weeks later to the apartment. Morris took another two weeks off so we built a house. We promised dinner tonight and Tristan asked if he could see the results of his hard work.
After my first swim, when I got into the pool, my skin was tingling and it was very cold. There was a jacuzzi on the other side of the pool and we went there and drank champagne in the jacuzzi and shared some funny jokes.
“good”
I laughed at his joke and raised my finger. “Hit me.” he laughed
“So whenever my husband went to work, there was a woman cheating on him. He did it when he found out.”
“What the?”
“He called her every day to make sure she was home and asked her to turn on the blender.”
“What the?”
‘Stupid isn’t it? One day he called his son and asked, “Where is your mother?” he asked. He thought, “He left the house with the blender.”
We both laughed a lot.
We stayed in the jacuzzi until dark and showered together. It was definitely not a body wash. Tristan sat on the island and tried to make me sushi.
“Call me if you need help.”
“I have this.”
– I said smiling. “Yes it is true.”
He smiled and looked at the laptop in front of him.
It was the accident of the living man that attracted our attention. “What was that?”
I dropped the spatula in my hand and asked him to turn it into a pan.
Wait here, please.
he looked at me Don’t you dare go against me I closed my eyes and followed him with my feet in my hands.
One of the expensive china vases in the living room was broken on the floor. “He is here.”
I said it backwards and my head exploded
He stepped back as if he hadn’t noticed that I was following him.
– I told you to stay in the kitchen. he clenched his chin and said. “He’s not coming out tonight.”
I sternly told him to move past him, but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back.
“cash.” he murmured “I want to hear from you. We can do it together. Use your muscles, I can beat his big head.
I raised my gun to demonstrate. He smiled at me and shook his head.
“How are you sure it’s Karen?” “Maybe the vase fell by itself.”
he said
“Yes, or are there ghosts in the house?”
I said cynically. “No one’s there so go back to the kitchen while we clean up.”
‘Really Tristan? Are you…
go ahead?”
“Not”
The sound stopped him behind us. We both looked back and saw a man running out the back door.
“I said so.”
I winked at him and followed him. “Hello!”
– Report him to the police!
I shouted at him over my shoulder.
He wasted no time visiting and must have been tired of waiting. – It will be fun.
I grunted as I accelerated.
The hood fell off her head, revealing her.
her long hair swayed back and forth
he ran
There was no way I was going to let him go, and the closer I got, the tighter my soles tightened. I hope he goes crazy if he hits him in the head.
I picked up the pot when it was very close to his hair and I swung it and hit him hard on the head and he hit some grass and fell. “Hey, I felt good!”
I said looking at his subconscious expression.
“The police are coming, did you catch him?”
Tristan ran to where I was and asked. “see.”
He came closer and his facial expressions were so precious and I couldn’t help but see Adrian’s face. – Karin?
He curled up next to her body.
He stood up, turned and looked at her face for a few seconds.
look at me As if he didn’t know what to say, he opened his mouth slightly and hugged me with his palms covering his face.
– I’m very sorry that I don’t believe you, I’m very sorry.
He said softly, stroking my hand up and down my back. ‘I feel so terrible right now. Sorry Cassie.
‘If you promise to massage my feet every day, I will only accept apologies.”
I stepped back and smiled at him. – I promise.
“And teach me Nana’s recipe.” I added – I taught you yesterday, but this is the fifth time.
He groaned as I shrugged.
He looked at her like he was trying to remember something. – Do you know him somewhere?
“No, Adrian introduced him to me. me
I have never met him.”
‘He knows Fiona. It probably has something to do with him and I think he has come to pay for what happened.”
There was darkness in his eyes.
“It has nothing to do with it.” She said still looking at him. Her tone was different. – Let’s go inside, it’s cold outside.
– He spoke and tried to pick him up.
But I stopped him.
“I’ll do it.”
I grabbed his leg and dragged his body home with me. “good?”
Tristan texted Adrian and his mom while we waited for the police. I sat down on one of the chairs and closed my eyes. When he started to move I stood up and he sat on the floor and moaned. He rubbed the back of his neck and winced in pain. I raised my front leg to kick him again, but Tristan stopped me.
“Calm down, the police will take care of it.”
I dropped the pot and looked at her and she smiled and laid comfortably on the floor. ‘How are you feeling? Hero?” he scoffed. I reached forward and slapped his cheek.
– Now it’s me. I smiled. – cash.
Tristan stopped me. “That is all?” he said smiling. I pulled away from Tristan and grabbed a hand of his hair and he pulled me tighter than me.
– Cassie, stop it.
Tristan grabbed my waist and pulled him closer. “Now I know what that feels like.”
I said with a satisfied smile. Damn revenge was very sweet.
When Adrian saw Karen, he slowed and went in the front door. – Karin?
“Hello.”
– He closed his eyes and spoke dryly, trying to wipe the blood from his left nostril.
‘Why don’t you go to Texas to see your brother?
“Sleep well, it was all a lie.” – He sat down and said. – Was Chloe right?
He slowly walked towards her. – Do you feel something for me? he asked with a heavy heart. She took off her wedding ring and tossed it to him.
“Oh, before I forget, I sold the glass and bought this fake instead.”
– he said smiling. “you”
I clenched my fists, not knowing what to say.
– Yes, Adrian, I used you to get closer to Tristan to carry out my plans.
– Wow, and you will marry me to fulfill your plans?
She screamed but he closed his eyes like a child. Police sirens rang outside and Mrs. Sanchester arrived with Nana. Three officers entered with guns drawn.
“I don’t mind going to jail for Tristan.” At least Fiona will be glad you brought those memories back.
Tristan clenched his chin, clasped his hands, and looked at her. – Don’t listen to him. I whispered.
“You killed Tristan, you killed him and the baby!”
“Remain silent!!!”
“What the? Did you lie about him? – he said looking at me.
“He didn’t lie.”
I shielded her and looked at her. ‘How would you know? He’s only lied to you since you came.
Agents take it!
‘I know everything about Tristan.
You brought him here.
This caught my attention. – Take him!
‘You are absolutely not a killer!!!
He screamed as one of the officers pulled him up.
‘If Fiona is here…
It wasn’t because of you!”
– She said crying. “I do not know!”
– Yes it is! I called you, don’t you remember?
He refused the agent and moved on.
closer to him.
– After he talked to me, I called you…
Pregnant, I asked him, Tristan. You lied about a safe pregnancy!”
– He told me that everything is fine!
“Because she wanted a baby so badly.”
“Sorry”. he murmured.
“Too late”.
– He turned to me and said. “Poor Chloe, did you tell me why she did that in the church?”
“Yes, I did it for my mother.” He laughed at my answer. “lie”.
– he said smiling. “When are you going to tell this little girl the truth?”
he asked, glancing at Mrs. Sanchester. “Get him out of here.” Tristan told the police. “Security”.
I said go ahead. “Please wait a moment.” I begged the police. They agreed and gave us space. ‘What won’t you say? You said your mother has cancer and you won’t live long.
“really? cancer?’
Karen smiled and everyone in the room looked at her.
– You didn’t lie? I turned to look at him. “Sorry”.
He told me not to look. “Why am I here!!!”
I screamed. ‘Maybe you should ask his mother. She…
knows”.
“Mrs. Sanchester?” I turned to him. “Even an old witch.” Karen added.
“Everybody knows?”
I turned to each of them. ‘You made it so hard for me to prove I’m pregnant!
“Sorry”.
Mrs. Sanchester cried. ‘Ah, this hospital was all smoke. I can’t believe you fell for this.”
I don’t know what to say, my body was full of emotions.
– Were they all lies?
I couldn’t hold back the tears anymore so I turned to Tristan. “Why am I here? Tell me!!!”
‘Oh, nothing serious. He just needed a distraction with a colleague to keep him sane. Sophia was not a good choice and needed her age to avoid suicidal thoughts.
Karen said.
“Did you ruin my life for nothing?” You did it!!!”
“Hey, did you come all this way to bother me?”
I said smiling to myself.
“Hey, did you come all this way to bother me?”
I ignored Tristan’s terrifying stature and told Tristan to go.
she looked into his eyes. I could see the pain in his eyes as he looked into my eyes, and that didn’t change the hatred that was running through me.
‘I just wanted to say that I was afraid you were going to leave,” she said, trying to avoid my gaze. ‘You can tell me? Tristan when? When?!!!”
Each time I asked, I pushed hard on his chest, but he didn’t flinch. I froze and fell and never in my life was I so worthless and so broken. I felt worse than being abandoned by my family. “Why?” I tossed my hair and cried.
Damn, I thought I was going crazy.
It meant nothing, I felt a sense of use
I felt like a fool. My sobs filled the house and I didn’t care if everyone was looking at me. My life meant nothing to them, they probably saw me as a child
You can use it as an experiment to help your son. – cash…
I raised my finger to stop him. I didn’t want to hear him lie anymore. All he had to do was lie to me. did he love me Or another lie that brought me here? “No! I hate everything!!!” I burst into tears.
“I think it ends here. Let’s see how you handle losing another important person in your life, Tristan.”
Karen smiled contentedly and told the police she was ready to go. He looked at Adrien and winked at him.
At nightfall, the siren went off and the room was silent for a long time. ‘I never wanted this.
I lied that you would leave. I know what I did is selfish.”
Tristan broke the silence with a heavy voice.
– But you chose me, Tristan, you chose me! You made my life hell!”
I yelled in his face. “My family, my lover, my friend, you took everything! Do you even care about my life?”
– Nana, is that you?
I looked at him and he lowered his face. I was impressed with him and they all knew it and planned it. ‘You never cared, your son’s life was more important to you and you didn’t care how your lies affected my life, it’s all about him. You all hate me, I can’t even look at you unless I see you as a monster.
“I’m sorry, we don’t know how”
By the way, we didn’t expect all this to happen. Mrs. Sanchester stepped forward and said: But I stepped back. “I’m so sorry, Chloe.” Nana said softly.
“Sorry, nothing will change!”
It won’t change what people think of me and it won’t cure anything. Because of his lies, I lost everything. That was all?
I cried, swallowing my tears and my head started to hurt. I didn’t know what to do and my head and heart hurt.
I turned and looked at Tristan. What I went through for him. I forgave him, I worried a lot, I loved him just to see who he is, but what happened to him? it boggles the mind. She ran her hand through her hair and moaned and closed her eyes.
He opened it and looked at my wet face and puffy eyes. “I didn’t want you to know, I just wanted to explain everything to you. I know I’m wrong, but I don’t regret choosing you…”
My hands touched and covered his face and I trusted him. “Hit whatever you want, Cassie.” I deserve to be worse. I know I don’t deserve you, but stop bothering me!
‘You don’t deserve to be loved and you don’t deserve to be happy, Tristan Sanchester. I want it to end now.”
I gave everyone a dirty look and headed for the front door.
– Cassie, wait a minute.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Tristan grabbed my wrist from behind and stopped me.
“Do not touch!”
I pulled my hand out. “Find something else to bother me, I’m done. I don’t want to see your face or your family again. Don’t even think about stalking me. Maybe I’m a psychopath.”
“stay. far away. from Me guys!!!”
I saw him and left the house.
A home with so many good and bad memories, I lost my innocence and dignity and couldn’t give it to any man I ever met. It was all a lie and he always took advantage of me. I shook my head as I left the door. It was cold outside and my loose nightgown and slippers didn’t help.
Not knowing where to go, I hugged him and walked down the sidewalk. No one was there and I was told that Tristan bought the area to get away from the neighbors and live alone.
I made out his name and walked, not knowing where to go. Should I go back to my family?
Come to think of it, I didn’t want to be around my family, and when I needed them, they kicked me out. I haven’t heard from my father since the day we were together.
Sneezing as the cold wind hits me and brushes my hair. He was also busy stroking him with his hands.
I want someone to take me, rapist or kidnapper. I wanted
Merciless people, far from this city…
He called himself a man.
As I remembered what had just happened, the tears flowed and I found myself crying again. I was lucky that no one was listening to my cries and I continued to walk with tears in my eyes.
I was tired and I stopped, and my limbs were shaking from the cold. I fell to the cold ground with so many tears. Because I felt terrible. I had no family and could not go to school. Because everyone seemed terrified of treating me like trash.
Maybe I was trash and my ex might have treated me like trash. lie! Repeat the lies!!! “Ahhhhhh!!!!” I shouted into the darkness
Heavens, did God see this? I hear bad guys don’t go unpunished. I felt someone sitting next to me on the floor and continued to shout at the sky, ignoring the familiar smell.
Adrian sighed heavily next to me. It must have been heartbreaking to see the real Karen, how does it feel to be taken advantage of? It’s not good?
I wanted to tell him, but decided not to. I looked up at the sky and screamed again as if he was trying to perform a miracle, but my throat was dry.
I stopped and cried. “Sorry”.
After a long silence, he apologized.
‘Because I didn’t believe you and I didn’t tell you the truth. I didn’t know Tristan lied about that and I’m really sorry.
I didn’t say anything, he didn’t
actually part of it. He knew it was going to happen, but I still don’t think he’s guilty. He was a friendly guy until Karen followed us and we went from friends to strangers.
“I know there’s no point in apologizing now, I don’t know what to tell you…”
– Stop talking.
As I growled, he slowly nodded. I suddenly had a craving for alcohol.
He clenched his fists to relax, but to no avail.
I couldn’t go to such a bar and I had no money. It was a good time to have a drink because the motivation was strong.
– Can you take me home? That was probably part of it. – Yes, wait here, I’ll take the car.
When he stood up, I nodded. “Hadrian”.
He stopped and turned to me. “Don’t tell anyone I’m going to your house, pretend you didn’t see me.”
“sure.”
His gray SUV soon arrived with him in the driver’s seat.
I got up and ran to the other side to escape the cold. He reached out again, picked up a blue blanket and gave it to me as I rubbed my hands to get rid of the cold.
I wrapped it up and put my head against the window as the car started. The whole trip was quiet and I enjoyed it. His house was only 10 minutes from where I was chosen. Close the soft blanket
We went to the front door and his house was beautiful and very charming.
Thick glass and wood were used upstairs. I went to a nice bar around the corner and bought a bottle of brandy and a glass of brandy.
Adrian watched me apply the liquid that burned my throat. I expected him to defend Tristan like he always did, but he joined me with another glass of wine.
We sat quietly sipping cognac and I decided to say something. – I’m sorry, Karen. I saw him grab his chin.
“It still feels like a dream.” he said smiling. “She has to be the best actress I’ve ever seen.”
