The silence has gone longer than I expected it to be; and in that precise moment I decided there's a riddle unread or understood. Serena is probably herself a mess and is concealing her emotions from me. Maybe, I went too far in telling her to stay my son's mother while she has wanted to be my lover and wife. I don't deny that I am good at hurting people; if I must make a correction then I am a professional at crushing hearts but somewhere I think Serena is not far behind me. I stood up from the couch and faced Serena. Her body was screaming tension and for the first time since our meeting, I felt that she didn't wanted to be near me. Like, she was afraid that I will read her hidden secret in her soul.Gripping her shoulders, I managed to gain her attention whilst her eyes lowered suddenly. Her features which always were bold and shouting a I don't care attitude, resembled to the grief stricken person who was deep drown in guilt.Before I knew it, she hugged me tightly hiding her face
Mrs. Rodriguez was chatting with Serena. The ghost-devil Carolina's mother, not any less pain in my life than Carolina. A constant reminder of her daughter's existence. The old lady was no better than the daughter who spoilt my life and left with a grave hole in my chest. 'What was she doing with Serena? Were they both playing me? But how does Serena know her?'Questions after questions spun in my mind, but my feet refused to move ahead. My heart was dreading of what was to unveil and I didn't have any patience to bear Serena's treachery. 'She is no longer mine.' As I saw Mrs. Rodriguez leaving with a defeated look, I made my way back to the car not wanting Serena to see me or get alerted that I am aware of her deception. 'Enough of the manipulation, Serena Waldorf,' I whispered. Now it was time for her to spill the truth that she has been hiding all this while.After a few minutes, Serena joined me back in the car, while I gave her a devilish look but clearly my love for her was ove
"I am Carolina's sister." Serena repeated this time emphasizing on the word 'sister.' Aloof I remained unable to process the revelation, and as it started to slightly tap in my brain on whispering it to myself, I couldn't help but screech in agony, "Nooooooo." Serena stiffened, and so did I. How do I describe my current state when the feeling of betrayal was washing over me in an unstoppable circle. My world was spinning around in circles while the girl who caused this entire frosting situation, sat on my bed now looking at me with horror struck expressions as if she herself was in some daze. It seemed to me like she was not able to contemplate her own words in her mind that she has blurted.I pulled my hands away from her shoulders, taking two steps backwards; creating a good amount of distance between us. The hostility that I was feeling for her can clearly be depicted from my darkened eyes fixated on her guilty self as her eyes have started to shed the tears of regret or success fo

A defeated sigh escaped my shivering lips. Until now I hadn't realized, my body had frozen hearing Serena's side of story. 'She chose me over her parents,' I repeated several times in a row in my head. Refreshingly, it comforted me regardless of the lies she smashed on my face. I assumed it was a year and half then when she made the choice but still she hid it from me. What was I supposed to make out of this in my paranoid and distrusting state? "They wanted me to leave you because they knew about Carolina being involved with you. They contacted my mother, and she somehow reached me. At first, I was terrified, mad, rageful towards her for ruining my entire life in a blink. She didn't told me about my deceased sister then, thus I wasn't aware about your or Carolina's past. Do you remember, during our stay in the second year, for few days I avoided going to hotel?" Her explaination made some sense here, but her query left me in a frazzled state. I simply nodded not knowing, what happen
The day ended well with my graduation ceremony. I felt at the top of the world for making my parents proud for atleast once in my life. I never knew I can also make them happy but now that I saw them sharing a toast for me and my success, I realized that I have finally accomplished something in my life. Deep down I was still upset about the whole Carolina fiasco and so was my family. Infact, all of them took turns to take my class but little did they knew the truth behind that forced relationship. I never understood, how did that girl managed to hide her real self infront of everyone, when she becomes a devil infront of me. Was she suffering from some favourite person mental disorder?I knew I sounded weird to my own self but I didn't knew, how to describe her charade? Why did she act totally out of character infront of me only? Why not anyone else?After our uneventful breakup, I didn't had the badluck to see her face, but I was dreading that she might turn up anywhere and threaten m
The breakup was harsh reality check to her disoriented personality which had become thornier than it had been all these years. Having no other choice, I implored, "Just leave her, will you?" "You want me, then take my life but leave all of them. See, she is bleeding. She needs treatment". My eyes stung with tears as I begged her to have some mercy on us. "Please leave us!" Ana and Allison cried together. I wanted to hug them and tell them, that all will be fine but I was held captive by a "You all also like her?" She shouted or more like yelled, and before anyone can knew it, she fired straight on Stephanie's left side; directly on the heart. She cried in pain, but words didn't come out of her mouth due to the tape, but I can hear her sobs. And soon, her sobs died too as her body gave up. "Clap! Clap! Daddy's gun killed one person. Yayyy. I win. I win." She started to jump up and down, enjoying in her glory while we were not able to understand any thing. She was a psycho, and fro
With each minute, I paddled on the empty and dark street, I was growing tired and exhastion has been filling my lungs which I felt as I tried to keep my breathing calm. I wasn't in luck; I was drained by the time I spotted her car at the end of the cliff. My vision blurred and she was untraceable in this haunting weather. I needed help, so I yelled, "Help...," I heard no correspondence, feeling a looser for bringing this upon myself. The world was fading away and all I could do was crawl towards the descendant of the death who laughed. The last laugh was hers indeed. A fear gripped my heart as I saw her getting down and locking the car, along with my family. "Carolinaaa stopppp!!" Shaky voice screeched out of my trembling lips. "I told you that I love you but you broke me to pieces. Now they will pay for it as well...your family and the people on this site, who're summoning hearing you," she yelled, and fired four shots to her right. The sound of the petrol tankers blast literally le
