I stare at him back, still struck by shock. My whole body is still, utterly speechless.
"Terra, is it?" Dad asks.
My stomach lurches.
CJ puts his hand over mine when he sees it's shaking. "Yes, she's Terra."
"Reminds me of my daughter," he says with a tentative smile. "You look so much like her... I wish she was still here."
What!
CJ's mom puts her hand over his. "His wife and two daughters died in a tragic car accident..."
My heart stops.
He lied about us being dead to his new family?
"That's really sad," I mutter.
"It's really nothing," Dad shrugs. "Fortunately I have been able to get over the past when I found my Cassandra."
They kiss sentimentally, making me nauseous and disgusted.
I used to hate dad. But now that he's back into my life, I hate him even more. He abandoned us m

If someone would have told me this would have ever happened, I would put my life on it and swear on my life it wouldn't.My dad.Sitting on my coffee table.Drinking my coffee.With my favorite mug.And all this is Amira's fault.She had to let him in. She even threw herself all around him the minute she saw him. I've never been so disgusted by someone's actions my entire life."Aren't you going to ask him where he has been all this years?" I mutter, looking at Amira.She gives me that sharp judgemental look."What matters is he's back and here with us."It's just funny how being smart doesn't stop you from making dumb mistakes. This is a mistake Amira will regret for the rest of her life."I'm not back!" Dad states.What!That comes like a blow to the face. Amira is astounded, staring blankly at dad.Te

"I didn't do it!"I rub my eyes with the palm of my hand, sniffing.One of the directors straightens his collar and grins at me."We are sure it's you, Ms. Terra. So save that for yourself."This boardroom is hell on earth. The temperatures are flaring and my whole body is sizzling."So, Ms. Terra, there's clear evidence that you stole the money. So it's better if you just accept the accusations and save us the time."My heart sinks."But I didn't do it!" I burst out. "I swear I didn't do it!"CJ, who has been quiet all this time, stands up angrily and bangs the desk."Then explain why you are on the cctv sneaking into my office and into my safe!"I stutter, a swell of fresh tears welling up my eyes. "I... I don't know... But it's not me! I was with you last night over dinner. And... And we talked for almost two hours after!"CJ glares at me. "You're a pathological liar! The time I dropped

Trust.I think it's the most dangerous thing.Trusting someone has to be the deadliest weapon to ever exist. Because with it, comes betrayal...Or atleast that's what happens most of the times.You trust someone and then follows betrayal. It's like trust and betrayal are connected. Like they are lovers or something...I mean, look at Jesus. The son of God himself. Betrayed by one of his disciples.. Jesus trusted Judas enough to make him one of his twelve disciples but what followed is a kiss of betrayal. And all this started with trust.Trust is deadly..And that's exactly what I did..I trusted CJ and he shattered my heart in pieces. He rebuked me like a demon and was so quick to judge me and disgrace me. He didn't even have the courtesy of asking me first. He just burst out on me, ranting all the insults in my face.

One week later,Graduatuon day,I wake up panting.Gasping for breathe.I immediately sit up in frustration and wipe the sweat from my forehead.Dalia wakes up in astonishment. "It's that nightmare again?""Yes."It's the third time in a row that I'm having a nightmare about CJ getting shot in cold blood in front of my very eyes. And every time I wake up with my body trembling as if it was all so real.Dee pulls me in a warm hug and rocks back my hair."You know maybe it's a sign," she says softly. "A sign to just get back together with him. You never know what happens..."I shrug and pull away. "It's just a nightmare. Nothing serious."I wish I could believe those words.Something in my gut tells me

Dee pats my back as we sit on the bench, waiting for the doctor's feedback."It's not your fault, Terra."I look at her angrily.I quirk an eyebrow. "What do you mean it's not my fault? Ofcourse it's not my fault! It's your fucking stupid fault! CJ is in there because of you, Dee. Because of your stupid mistakes!""And I said I'm sorry.""And I would just appreciate it if you kept your mouth shut like everyone else!" I hiss.Dee's hands are trembling. "All this is my fault. But I didn't want this to happen. I just wanted to put that bitch in her place.""When will you ever learn? Aimee is a rich girl. She can stab you in front of the whole world and still get away with it. That's the person you want to fight with?

To us!""And I thought you forgave her for that.""Yes I did. But I don't remember asking you to bring her back to the company.""You didn't have to ask."I grimace and spin to leave. "You know what, this is pointless. As the HR, I'm firing her.""You won't do that!" CJ retorts.That stops me on my feet and I look at him. CJ stands from his swivel chair and waltzes towards me. He tucks a tendril of hair behind my ear and pecks my forehead.He looks at me with warm eyes."Terra, one of the things that stan

"Eli?"He looks up, smiling so broadly. He even walks up to me to wrap me up in a warm hug.He smells so good and clean. He looks so much better. Seems Rehab was his only cure."Sister-in-law!""When did you come?""This morning."I greet Dorothy and she proceeds to serve me breakfast as Eli sits right next to me, looking so happy with so much light in his eyes."When my mom told me you and CJ are getting married. I just couldn't believe it. You guys just met the other day.""Love defies all odds, I guess...""My mom has told me so many nice things about you ever since she came to visit. She can't stop gushing about you.""She's a wonderful woman.""Yea. And a great mom... Though she abandoned us when we were kids and fled to some stupid country and started another family.
