CJ TO WED MADELINE IN TWO WEEKS, CONFIRMS CJ IN AN INTERVIEW WITH FORBES. CJ SAYS HE'S EXCITED FOR THIS NEW CHAPTER IN HIS LIFE.
I feel like tearing apart the magazine.
But I'm at work and I have to keep my cool, especially because mouthy Zoe is smiling so broadly at me.
"These two seem to be rushing things."
It's been two days.
Two days since CJ broke the news to Madeline.
She was so excited that she got on top of the table and threw herself on him.
"Keep your cool," said CJ. "It's just business."

My head is aching so bad but it's nothing compared to the heartbreak of betrayal. I feel betrayed and stupid. Tears roll down my eyes as I look up at him.

I'm literally shaking when CJ bursts in through the door.He runs to me and sits beside me, throwing his arms around me. That feeling again. That instant feeling of safety and security and comfort when he envelopes me in his arms and pecks the top of my head."He's not going to hurt you," he says. "I'm here."I want to thank him but I don't.Instead I let him in and lie my head on his chest.CJ turns to the bodyguard."Where is he Harry?" CJ asks him.So his name is Harry."I've locked him up in her bedroom.""How come he's so still and quiet?"Harry huffs. "I had to sedate him to cool him down.""Good."Eli, CJ's little brother, almost attacked me, demanding for the bag of cocaine.

"And now, you may kiss the bride!"Everybody stands and cheers, throwing flowers at the beautiful young couple.CJ and I are seated on the white decorated chairs and I turn to look at him."I've never been kissed before," I say abruptly.CJ is caught off guard. "What!""Well apart from the awkward encounter at the lake with you, my lips have never tasted anyone else's."Jeez! What am I telling him? That's none of his business.CJ is stunned and he titters. "Have you ever had a boyfriend?""Never!""Friends with benefits?""I've never been kissed before so tell me what benefits I can give if I can't even kiss someone."CJ stares at me for a moment then says, "You amuse me every single day."I look at the front and I'm startled that the bride and groom are not done kissing."And you've not told me why I'm here and who are these people..."

"Don't look at her!" I hiss.I bury my face in my hands."I thought you two were good friends," says CJ."We are... I just don't want her to see me."He's startled. "Why?""Personal reasons."CJ chuckles. "Well, today is not your lucky day..."I hear footsteps approaching and right then, I know that it's her. She loves making her footsteps louder to capture attention."Hey!" Zara blurts.I look up to see her standing beside me with a wide grin that stretches from molar to molar and is probably the fakest thing I have seen my entire life."Heeeeeey!"And there I go faking excitement.Zara whistles. "TRAY!!!"She probably catches the whole restaurant's attention but everybody seems to be in their business."Come over! Let's sit at this table!" she shouts.I pray Tray declines but no!

"He's dead, Amira."She looks up at me, her face completely blank of any emotion then she laughs.A short brief bitter laughter."Yea, dead to all of you," she says bitterly."But still alive in my head and in my thoughts... I still see him, Terra. I see him running his pathetic fingers allover my body. I see him take off his belt and part my legs, his eyes dark with desire. I see him take off his... His thing and insert it painfully inside me. And like a sad sad rhythm, I hear it repeat in my ears over and over again as he strokes and strokes and strokes... "Tears well up in her eyes.Thinking she will break down, she swallows and wipes the tears swiftly.Amira continues. "All these years and still that sick bastard is still fucking me up!" she snickers. "You know it was better when he used to fuck me at fourteen because I could just cry myself to sleep and wait for the repeat. But now... I'm a grown woman with a fucking h

CJ asks calmly staring at me straight in the eye.As the two men leave, he grits his teeth and demands,"Close that door!"The minute I close it, he flies from his chair and pins me to the door. He's hurting my arm and I wince in pain."What kind of nonsense is this!" he hisses.I try to fight off him but he's too strong for me. His whole body blocking me."What nonsense CJ? Enzo smashed my phone!" I snap.He scowls at me. "And I'm your papa when the bad boys pick at you, right?" he lets go of me and clicks. "Grow up, Terra! You're acting like a stupid child."That hurts coming from him.I thought he would confront him.CJ continues grumbling. "You just storm into my office like you are the fucking boss!
