George punches me so hard on the cheek and knocks me down to the floor. He blows hit after hit after hit. I struggle to fight him but I'm too weak so I finally surrender. He punches me on the face and I taste blood in my mouth. 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. A drop of blood trickles down my mouth. "You think you could just come and ruin my plan with Madeline you lowlife bitch!" he roars with rage in his eyes. "You were fucking stupid if you thought I could let you!" he punches me hard on the cheek. "The only reason I was following you around is because I noticed CJ has a thing for you! And there's no way I'd let CJ fall for you you piece of shit! That would ruin our plan! My plan to run this company with my girlfriend!" What! George and Madeline? This is all

CJ, PROMINENT TYCOON, CANCELS WEDDING WITH PRETTY GIRLFRIEND, MADELINE, FOR PERSONAL REASONS. He SAYS HE WANTS A PRIVATE LIFE AGAIN AND THE MEDIA TO STAY OFF HIS BUSINESS."This is the best news I have read in weeks," I tell Zara over the table at lunch.CJ's plan to capture Madeline worked. I recorded her confessing to everything on the phone. It's weird how Madeline spilled all the beans. With the help of CJ's lawyers, Madeline, her dad and Phoebe, CJ's publicist, were all arrested for fraud and attempted theft. They are all currently awaiting sentencing. All because of a phone's recording!CJ and I were so happy we couldn't believe it. We didn't think it would be that easy but Madeline made it easy.It's been a week since I was discharged from hospital. And I still can't believe the media hasn't let go of the CJ drama.It'll take long before they finally let him g

"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..." I tell CJ.CJ lies back on the s

"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

"Just friends!"Zara shrieks over lunch.I shrug. "Yea.""After that hot kiss?"I giggle. "I didn't say it was hot.""Your face was burning when you told me about it. You don't have to tell me how hot it was, Terra!"I roll my eyes. "I shouldn't have told you..." "What you shouldn't have done, honey, is FRIENDZONE him. CJ wants you, Terra. And I'm sure he doesn't want to be friends only. He wants more...""Well, i can't give him more," I sigh. "I've never been in a relationship before. And he's not going to be the first."Zara stops devouring the tantalizing steak and stares at me silently. "Why are you so scared of relationships?"I laugh it off. "No I'm not." "Yes, you are. Fear is holding you back." I shrug. "Relationships are just not my thing, Zara." "There must be a reason why..." I huff. "I don't know... Maybe it's because I have seen to
