I'm covering myself with the sheet so tight against my ears so that I don't hear him. I don't want to listen to whatever he has to say."I know you don't want to listen but this is what really happened," CJ says getting closer towards me. "Fidel and I decided to clear up our issues and bury the hatchet. I figured I should do the same with his wife. Everybody was making noise in the living room so we went outside to talk things out. As I was talking, she suddenly grabbed me and kissed me forcefully. I was stiff and startled and it took me a while to draw back. Then she told me that she needed that. Kissing me convinced her that it's her husband she wanted. It's her husband she wanted to kiss forever. We then talked for a few minutes about her husband and about you..."I'm silent.I pretend I'm sleeping. I feel him lay a hand on my shoulder and I jerk back." Atleast say something, Terra... "I glare at him as I sit upright on the

The car comes to a stop.CJ and I haven't exchanged a word ever since we got on the jeep.We had to leave before the others because he lied about having a crucial meeting with very vital clients. I knew that was a lie. CJ rarely works on weekends.CJ turns off the engine and sits there silently for a moment.He then grunts. "Go." I know he doesn't want to talk to me. He obviously doesn't want anything to do with me. So, trying to hold a conversation with him is pointless.So I just turn and fling the door open.I walk a few steps and stumble to the ground. Shit! I have twisted my ankle on the same foot. Again! It's so painful that I wince as I struggle to get back up on my feet again.I feel arms circle around my waist, helping me up. By now, my body is too familiar with these strong muscular veiny arms.CJ's arms.I spin and look into his eyes, taking advantage of this moment to tell him what I've bee

My hands are literally shaking as I press the elevator button."It's not him, Terra," Zara assures me. But that's not enough to stop the trembling."What if it's him? What if he's dead?" I ask in horror.Zara squeezes my hand. "It can't be him."The doors open and I head fast to the HR office, forgetting to wave Zara as she goes into a different direction. She yells goodbye behind me. I find Lorenzo on the phone, looking terrified.He hangs up on the call and starts putting on his coat."What's wrong, Enzo?""It's CJ."^^^^^^^^I rush into the hospital fast behind Enzo. We find his step-mom, Jezebel and his dad, Mr. Jean in the waiting area. His dad looks devastated. "How's CJ?" I'm the first to ask. I'm so relieved he's not dead. He's the only patient that survived the plane crush and fortunately rushed back home. Jezebel look

"I honestly don't get why you're freaking out!" Zara sips the chicken soup, gazing at me across the lunch table."It's marriage we are talking about, Zara!""No, it's a proposal, stupid!""That leads to marriage!""Terra, this is CJ we are talking about. He's handsome. He's young. He's the owner of this fucking company and he owns a fucking jet. He's fucking rich and your future is secure with him."I groan. "It's not about the money, Zara....""What's it? Isn't CJ a great guy?""CJ's a great guy. He treats me so good and he and I have this connection that I've never had with anyone.""Then why are you doubtful?"I bury myself in my hands. "I'm just scared. Everything's happening so fast. I've just dated him for a month and he's proposing already?""That's a man who wants you desperately in his life. Plus, you really don't have to rush marriage. You can move in together with him and get to know hi

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
