A smile forms on my face as I look at her. I just can't believe she would take my side over her husband's. Some people on earth are walking angels.
"She's a cheap woman!" Diana states.
What!
"My husband has been complaining how she tried to seduce him ever since he promoted her as a way to tell him Thankyou."
Diana spins her head to look at me and wags a finger at me.
"She's a pretentious homewrecker who is a bad role model to society. The leak of the sex tape shows us her true colours and I'm glad it's out in the open for everybody to see her for who she truly is. An immoral whore!"
Fordingbridge is just as I remember it.A small quiet town in New Forest, the county of Hampshire, with beautiful scenery of green streams and the bridge, hence the name Fordingbridge.This is the town I grew up in.A small quiet country town where I made friends, most of whom are just acquaintances now. Most of them got married and have kids now. Most of them wanted to stay here and not explore life outside Fordingbridge.But I had always been different. I always wanted something different. Despite me loving Fordingbridge, I always felt like I didn't belong here. Always felt like there's a world waiting for me outside this small country town. And now I'm back.
I leave the suitcase on the staircase and rush to the door to see who this mysterious man is.I'm flabbergasted by who I see standing at the doorstep."Kyle!"He smiles at me, digging his hands into the pockets of his pants like some popular high-school adolescent."Rebecca.""I'm the only one who calls her Rebecca." Grammy states, still scowling at him."I'm sorry, Grandma," says Kyle."The nerve!" Grammy snaps. "Have you heard what he just called me? A beautiful young woman like me who is ageing gracefully hence
"What the hell!" Kyle blurts out."That guy is lying." I say in the midst of tears.I thought all my troubles had ended with me coming here and the fire would cool down but no, Dax had to go ahead and light it up again.Shit! The whole world is seeing this. How could Dax do this to me? I know we fell out a long time ago but I never once expected he would stand so confidently on TV and talk trash about me.Jeez! Kyle must be judging me right now from all that Dax has said on TV."Who is that guy?" Kyle asks, looking pissed off as hell."He's my ex boyfriend from college..." I wipe
The scandal gets messier and messier as the days go by!Jeep! Just a day after the encounter with the press and Dax dies? Just like that? Okay, I was pissed off and I wished hell would swallow him. But I didn't mean it literally. I would never wish death on anyone honestly."You have not checked the second page." Grammy tells me.I wonder what's on the second page.BECCA STERLING HANGING OUT WITH FOOTBALL PLAYER, KYLE WALKER A DAY BEFORE HER EX DIES!The media must be making thousands of pounds from this juicy story. And it gets juicier by the day."The media can't seem to get enough
For a swift moment, my mind goes blank and my heart stops.I freeze.Just when I thought all this drama was coming to an end. Then this happens. How the hell am I the first suspect? I was not even in London at the time of the accident. How the hell could I have killed him when we were miles apart?Grammy just stares at me, confused about what to do. Confused about what to say.That's when Bruna calls. Where has she been the entire day when I tried to reach her?"Becca, I just saw the news," it's the first thing she tells me. "I'm sorry..."I'm really glad I have a new number
The press turns to Trent and it's a whole lot of frenzy now.Trent manages to get to me amid the journalists and drags me to his car. Troy follows us behind and sits in the back seat of the car.I can not believe I'm seated here, driving in Trent's car. That's the last thing I needed. I have a lot of drama going on in my life and Trent being here is adding onto more drama.I've not said a word to him since we got in the car. And he has not said anything either. That's better. I'm seated at the front with Trent and he's about to start the engine when I call,"Troy!""Yeah..."
Ever since the tape came out, it's been just twists and turns which have blown my mind.But this? Tim?It doesn't make sense.Why the hell would he kill Dax? Did he even know him? What's the motive? What did Dax do to him? All this just doesn't add up. There's just something missing.Some minutes into the shocking news, I hear a knock on the door. I rush to open and Detective Trevor is standing next to another policeman."Ms Sterling, we need you to accompany us to the station for questioning about your former work colleague, Tim Stephens."My heart skips a beat when h
I knew Bruna's dad is rich.But I didn't know the old guy was filthy rich to be precise.Bruna's car pulls up in a massive brilliant white mansion with huge glassy windows after she enters the password on the golden gate. It doesn't take long for her to drive through the gravel driveway on her way to the parking lot."Here we are!" She says in excitement.Through the drive, she didn't say much after revealing she suffered a miscarriage. She says the doctors told her the reason for the miscarriage was due to mental stress. She didn't say much on the mental stress part just that Josh and her were having some problems but they were working on it. For some reason, I don't believe that narrative.
