Chapter 3

• What? What? My eyes widened, what am I going to do? I could have been in my hotel room, on my bed, crying into my pillow if I wasn't so distracted by some stranger. "There's a staircase we could use." He said behind me. Thank god!
• "Oh, there is? That's a relief." I say and he chuckled but there was a hint of surprise on his face as if he was surprised that I didn't know there was supposed to be a staircase.
• "Come with me." He walked forward and I followed behind him. We got to a staircase. A long staircase, if that's the only way down, I have to use it.
• Ugh, how was I going to drag my luggage down this staircase? There was so much work. It felt like I could collapse at any given moment. My body was weak.
• We walked down slowly, it felt like I was going to fall.
• "You okay?" He asked.
• "Yeah," I replied, okay, I was not okay. My legs were giving up, after walking for what seemed to be like forever, Jake halted.
• For a moment I thought we had reached, "are you sure, you don't look okay."
• "I'm perfectly fine-" he cuts me off when he came in front of me and bent down. "Hop in." He said.
• He was going to give me a piggyback ride!
• "You don't have to..."
• "It's okay." He said firmly. I sighed. If I wasn't so tired, I wouldn't have. I hesitantly climbed on his back. He took my luggage and hold it with his free has as he used one arm to hold me and he started climbing down again.
• After what seems like hours we finally reach the 5th floor, this hotel must be huge.
• Coming off his back, I blushed looking away. "Thank you."
• "No problem, you seem new here, do you know the way to your room?"
• "I'm new, but it would be easy to find it, seeing I'm already on the floor."
• "I guess this is a good night, here, in case you want to contact me... If you have any problem, you could always reach out to me." He said giving me a contact card.
• I took it from him, before saying another thank you. I walked away, to find my room.
• Room 16c
• After searching for it for a couple of minutes I got there. I entered the room, it was a comfortable room.
• I sighed, all I wanted at that moment was to clear my head. I flopped myself on the bed.
• Third Person's POV:
• Tessa tossed around the bed, she could not sleep, and tears streamed down her eyes. She prayed to wake up and see that it was all a dream. To wake up beside Carson and see him looking at her with his caring eyes like he has always done.
• Things didn't turn out well for her. She cried for what had happened, she cried for Carson. Cries escaped her lips.
• She felt sick and had thrown up a couple of times. She remembered her aunt and she knew she would eventually go to her.
• After all, she has no place to go, if she stays in the hotel room for a week, she'd be stranded, speaking of money for her to eat and to take care of herself.
• She had never thought she would ever regret going to Carson. She thought love conquered it all.
• Was she wrong?
• The weather wasn't helping either, it was so cold, that she clutched the duvet closer to herself.
• Tessa's POV:
• I woke with a huge headache, it felt like someone had hit my head with a metal.
• I groaned standing up from the bed, I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and take my bath.
• If I have to go to my aunt's place, I had to leave early, it is pretty far from here. Sigh.
• After I was done, I got ready, throwing my clothes on me. I took bags and walked out, but not before checking if I forgot anything.
• I walked to the elevator, I pressed open, it opened and I walked in, it was about to close but then it opened again.
• A man walked in. That sinfully handsome man, again.
• I gulped looking away, even his aura is scary. He was in a suit. It looks really expensive.
• Did he notice me? He doesn't seem to, he didn't glance once at me.
• I maintained my place in the elevator. Soon it dinged and stopped. Oh, thank god!
• I walked out quickly, going to the exit. Immediately I was out, I called a cab.
• ~
• I was in front of my aunt's house, should I just go back? Go. If you want to suffer.
• God, please save me. I inhaled and exhaled a couple of times, before going to the door. I knocked on it.
• The house hasn't changed a bit. After a couple of minutes, the door opened, revealing my aunt.
• A huge scowl formed on her face. "You! What are you doing here?! I told you not to come back here! He's dumped you already?" She screamed at me. I just looked at the floor, my eyes blurry with tears.
• "Answer me!" She shouted when she noticed I wasn't answering her, Were that tears forming in her eyes?
• "Yes."
• "Ugh! I knew it! He's of no good and what are you doing here?"
• She asked me. How was I going to answer such a question? Why was I back?
• ~
• I looked around my old room, it hasn't changed a bit, I dropped my bags on the table next to me.
• I was so tired. I sat on the bed, more tears spilling out my eyes, I didn't know when I fell asleep.
• "Are you sleeping?! Don't think I'd let you stay in this house without you working for me! Go and work, the house needs to be clean, I have guests coming." Aunt snarled at me. I quickly stood up from the bed.
• "I'm sorry," I said. She just glared at me and gestured the way I should take it. I sighed walking out of my room.
• I cleaned the whole house. Everywhere. Even outside the house.
• I was unusually tired lately and started throwing up, what is wrong with me?
• I took my phone, went on google, and typed my symptoms.
• The first thing that popped up was pregnancy, I can't be pregnant. But, there's a chance that I could be...
• I had to go buy a pregnancy kit.
• ~
• My eyes widened at the kit in my hand. I was pregnant! Oh god, what do I do? "The guests are here! Go meet them." My aunt said, I quickly hid the kit, holding my hand to m back.
• Why do I have to meet them though
• "Okay," I replied.
• "Wait. Put on something nicer." She said walking out of the room.
