MARRY ME NOW

“I’m scared mom, I’m scared all we’ve been working for would go to waste.”

“Stop saying rubbish! I’m trying to think here!” Austin’s mom scolded Ciara.

“What’s the point of thinking? Nothing you do ever work out.”

“How dare you insult me like that? Have you no respect?”

“Nothing I said was a lie.”

“You bi-” she was cut off by the sound of the siren.

It was quiet for about some minutes and someone walked into the house, it was Austin’s dad.

She was shocked to see her husband, she wasn’t expecting to see him until Austin’s wedding day.

“Carla!” He called her name. He rarely calls her by her name.

“Honey… I… I wasn’t expecting you.” She stuttered.

“I never thought you’d stoop this low, Carla.” He said to her. She gulped. He sounded really angry but was calm. Mr Kings (Austin’s dad) had always been calm and gentlemanly.

“You’d hurt your own family to get what you want…” He continued.

“What are you talking about?” She pretended not to know anything of what he was saying.

“I found about all your foul play, you weren’t as smart as you think. If you weren’t the mother of my children, believe me, I’d have done something more than just throwing you in jail.”

“Sweetheart…”

“Mom, it’s all over. Stop the pretence.” April said walking in. Some cops came in along with her. “How long did you think you’d get away with all these?” April asked her mom.

“April, do not talk to me like that! I’m your mother! I-”

April signalled, and two cops walked toward Carla. After much resistance from Carla, they cuffed her. “My love… You can’t possibly do this…” She said to her husband. She looked terrified as the cops took her away.

“The divorce letter would be sent to you.” He said to his wife. “No!” She screamed.

Ciara stood there looking scared, embarrassed.

April was happy. The cause of her family problem was gone. However she felt for her father, she looked at him, and he looked extremely hurt. She knows how her dad had met her mom.

Her mom was from a poor background just like Tessa was. She wondered why her mother hates Tessa even though they had something in common.

She walked closer to her dad and gave him a comforting hug.

The world soon found out Vick, a notable billionaire was put behind bars and left people wondering why. Several news outlets have been informing people about it.

“He was charged with tax evasion.”

“He was accused of human trafficking.”

“He was charged for several offences which include tax evasion, human trafficking, rape, manslaughter and would be taken to court…” Another news outlet confirmed. “Ever since his arrest was made public several victims have come out to say their stories.”

“Oh my God, mom, what are we going to do now?” Cara asked her mom.

“We have to get out of here…” Her mom said. She was scared the police might come here and arrest her as well. She was still in Vick’s house.

“Quick. Hurry up and pack.”

They both hurriedly packed and without looking back they fled from the house. They returned back to their home town. Cara’s mom knew it was all over. She knew she had to put an end to her evil… She might have escaped now doesn’t mean she’d escape next time.

When they got to their hometown, they took a cab to their home. Cara’s mom’s heart jumped each time she hears a siren… She was scared the police might be after her still.

After a few minutes’ ride, they got to their home. They got out of the cab and paid the driver.

They walked quickly to the front door but suddenly stopped when Cara’s mom spotted her sister. Not sure if she was real or a ghost, Cara’s mom scratched her eyes to be sure she had really seen her sister.

“Gina!” Her sister called. She looked relieved to have seen her.

“Thea…” Gina muttered. Shocked but was worried. She was worried Thea would come to find out everything she had done to get her daughter.

Why would she even care? She left her daughter for 16 good years without bothering to check on her once. She’s just as guilty as I am. Gina thought.

Thea was looking young as ever. Her ever seemingly beauty had not faded away, even after all these years. Her beauty was something her older sister had always been jealous of, she wished she was the sister with the beauty.

Tessa, her daughter was a replica of her mother. When Tessa lived with Gina after Thea left, Gina always saw Thea in Tessa.

Part of the reason she hated Tessa so much.

Thea was looking good as if life has been treating her really good.

Gina looked at the car in front of her house. It must be Thea’s. She thought.

“Where’s my daughter? Gina… Where can I find her?” Thea asked. Gina snapped.

“Oh, now you ask of her? What happened all those years?! You left for 16 good years without bothering to check on your daughter!”

“Gina, believe me… For the years I was away, I wasn’t living as a free woman. I was trapped by the man I had gone with. For years, I cried every day praying for some sort of miracle to free me from the bondage I was in and then recently it happened. The devil who had trapped me was killed. If I should continue, I wouldn’t be able to tell you everything that happened without going insane please just tell me where I can find my daughter, please.” Thea pleaded.

What was I going to tell her? Gina thought.
