Chapter 68
I storm into CJ's office.
"What the fuck CJ!"
He's startled. "What?"
"You re-hired Zara as your PA?"
"Yes. I thought you're cool with her again."
"After what she did to me? 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. But it's all cool now..."But it's evident he's still bitter about that."Tell me about yourself! How have you been?

TRENT prologue
Fuck!I have to hurry!I pull on some black pants matched with a black leather jacket. I squeeze in a black cap after pulling back my hair.I pace around the room nervously and drag my suitcase out of the closet.I pack a few clothes that I might need in my suitcase. I proceed to pack my passport, and a briefcase that is loaded with hundreds of thousands of dollars.I tuck a gun behind my pants.My phone is blowing up so I immediately switch it off before they track me.I know by the time they get to where I am, I'll be long gone. Never to be seen again! If only I hurry and get my ass out of this damn place before they get me.I put on dark shades as I step out of the motel.I drag the suitcase swiftly, past the reception area.Everyone is staring at me when I step outside the motel
TRENT A Taste Of Home
My feet step on the ground.A ground that's home.My home.A smile draws across my face and I start to laugh. I laugh so hard that my stomach hurts. But strangely, no one in the airport notices or stops to observe my absurd behavior.Everyone runs to the person that's waiting to pick them up.Sadly, I have no one.Completely no one waiting for me.Until I see him.CJ...Those dark fierce eyes.How could I ever forget?Even after all these years, it's baffling the effect those eyes have on me. How they could turn me on and draw me to him in an instant.He opens his eyes wide for me and I drop the suitcase and run to him cheerfully. He in turn runs to me also.Wait, does this mean he has forgiven me?Our bodies press hard against each other in a rough passionate embrace until he stabs me with a kitch
TRENT Dead To Me
It's Ren!He scoops me in a tight hug and kisses me all around the face."I missed you dude!"Well, the only person who has missed me."Where the fuck have you been!" he pats my shoulder energetically, his eyes sparkling with excitement.Before I can even respond, Ren continues babbling."You look so fucking pretty! And different! Your hair is longer and darker! You look a bit bigger! What the fuck have they been feeding you!"Ren keeps babbling and babbling as I take a keen look at him. He has also changed a bit. His hair a little bit longer, his eyes a bit darker, his shoulders so much broader. And when he smiles, there's cute creases at the edge of his lips.It's in this moment that our college memories come flooding in my mind and it dawns on me just how much I missed this guy."How have you been?" I ask gently."No, how have you been? Last time you were he
TRENT That Tears Me Apart
I pour some more wine into the glass.I sink back on the couch, trying to push away the thoughts.The giggles of CJ's baby boy still echoing in my mind. I still haven't been able to get rid of the picture. How happy CJ looked as he played with the little boy. He didn't even notice as I sneaked out because he was too busy playing around with his kid.That should have been our kid...But I messed everything up.I messed us up...And I'll never have CJ in my life again...He now belongs to someone else...And that tears me apart.And what tears me even more apart is just how sexy he looked. His shoulders broader. His hair longer. His eyes darker with that danger that drew me in.And I'll never have that again...A loud banging on the door pulls me from my myriad of thoughts back to the
TRENT Just Disappear
"On your knees!" They demand.We quickly go down on our knees obediently. All waves of panic strike through me."You thought we couldn't get you, huh!"One of the men, who is taller than the rest, fires a gun at Ren, directing the bullet to his arm.Ren cries out in sheer pain.It's then that it hits me that they are here for Ren. Not me. I thought he had got to me... In a sick twisted way, it's kind of a relief.One man grabs Ren by the neck and pulls his hair back."We want our money!"He's pointing a gun at his naked neck."Hey! Stop!" I blurt out.A painful slap lands on my cheek that puts me in a daze for a whole minute."Shut the fuck up hen!!!!"The tall guy turns to Ren. "You thought you could run away with our gambling money? Huh!" he smacks Ren's jaw,
TRENT He's not who you think he is
There is pure shock in his eyes.CJ stares at me intently for a few seconds before he lets me down to sprawl on the ground.My back is hurt but I struggle to stand up as he stands there, still staring at me as if I'm some ghost.I watch as his expression changes from shock to anger to pure hatred.CJ doesn't say a single word to me. Instead, he turns and scampers into the company, leaving me stunned.What the fuck could he be doing here? I mean, he has a multi-million dollar company in a big city. What would be his business in this company in such a small town like Haven?I shake off all that just happened and heave a sigh, "I'm here for the job."I hold my handbag tight and continue walking awkwardly in my red heels👠👠👠👠👠The interview was great.I answered all the questions correctly and politely.I just hope they don't do a background check and find out that I used to date my
