MARRY ME NOW

It was rainy. It has been raining for about two hours. I sighed looking through the window. I was tired, I was tired of it all, I just wanted it to be all over. It did seem it was getting over.

The door slammed open, snapping me out of my thoughts; I looked at the door to see a very angry Vick, he looked so angry. I have never seen him this angry before.

I gulped, I got up from where I sat and walked over to him. “W-welcome-” I couldn’t finish what I was going to say as his right hand came in contact with my face sending me straight to the floor.

I whimpered. “So, it has all been a pretence. All this while, you claimed to love me… it was all just an act. You don’t love me, you just want stupid revenge you’re not going to get!” His voice cracked at the end. “I loved you, I still do, I was going to give you everything, everything that would make you happy but you choose to play me. To mess with my-”

“What are you talking about, Vick?”

“Oh, you’re going to pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about?”

“I don’t!”

And then he said it. He said everything I have been doing. Every word he said, anger ran through them. “I’m going to make sure you pay for it all, and one thing I know is going to kill you inside, it hurting that bastard you call your child.” And with that, he walked out of the room.

I ran after him. Screaming. “Don’t you dare touch my child, Vick!” I cried. He entered her room. I heard screams from Anne. My heart almost stopped. I rushed into her room.

There was her, Vick held her with her neck, and her feet were dangling. I cried and cried for Vick to let her go. He brought out a gun from his trouser pocket. “No! No! Please I beg of you, let her go please, I’m sorry.” I pleaded, and a sadistic smile was plastered on his face.

He pulled the trigger.

“Ahhhh!” I screamed as jumping off the bed. My heart was beating fast, my body wet with sweat; I was crying. And then I heard the voice I dreaded. Vick’s.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

He jumped right next to me, holding me. “Are you okay, my love?”

“Yes, yes. I’m okay,” I said trying to get away from his hold. “It was just a bad dream, that’s all… I’m sorry for waking you up like that… I… I…”

“It’s okay,” he assured. “You are okay.” He continued. He pulled me closer to him. I squeezed my eyes shut. I didn’t want to be there… With him, but what can I do at that moment? I’m trapped.

“Can I go see Anne, please?” I asked.

“It’s late, you should sleep. I’m sure Anne is just fine.” He said, his tone leaving no place for arguments.

Couldn’t sleep the rest of that night.

Ciara’s POV

I had to do it. The situation was slipping out of our control, with Austin trying to skip his medications, he might regain his memory anytime from now. We couldn’t let that happen, if it does, the plan would be ruined. I would be ruined.

“Did Austin take his medication today?” I asked the maid.

“He refused to take it, ma’am.”

“Ugh,” I grunt. “Give me the drugs,” I said to her. She gave it to me and I marched to Austin’s room. There he stood, looking out his window.

I couldn’t help but admire him. He’s so perfect. I can’t lose him, no I can’t. That’d be a huge nightmare. I have come this far trying to get him, I won’t let him slip out of my finger like that.

“What do you want?” I heard him ask, snapping me out of my thought. He was still looking out the window. I smiled and walked toward him.

I dropped the drugs on the small table next to the bed. I hugged him from the back. Smiling, I said to him. “I missed you, Austin,” I said. He didn’t try to get away from me or anything so I guessed he doesn’t hate me Afterall.

I bet he was enjoying it. I wanted to do so much more with him. I wanted him to touch me so bad.

“Let go of me.” I heard him say.

“No,” I said. I wasn’t going to let go of him. Never. “We’re engaged, Austin. We’re going to become husband and wife.” I smiled at the thought. “This is going to be a normal part of our life.” I continued.

I felt him grabbing my hand and before I knew it, he yanked my hands off him. “We’re not getting married.” He said coldly. I couldn’t help it, tears began streaming out my eyes. Why does he have to be so cold to me?

“Mommy said we are. Why don’t you just accept it? We’ve been together for so long! We have always loved each other, you’ve always told me how much you loved me.”

“I have always loved someone, I have always wanted to tell her just how much I love her.”

“Yes, and that person is me,” I told him confidently, even when I might know who he was talking about… Tessa.

“You are not her,” he said. “Every day, I get these blurry images of her, but can’t call much, can’t recall what she . ooks like… I just know I love her very much.” He said. My heart was pounding in my chest. I collected two drugs. He would recall soon if he doesn’t take this medication, I had to get him to take it.

“Please Austin, take your medications. It-” he cut me off before I could continue.

“Get out of my room.” He said. His voice was so cold, so scary. “Austin please!” I pleaded.

“I’m going to have you thrown out.” He said.

I had to do something. I can’t afford to lose him, I would die if I did.
