Chapter 1- The Beginning Of The End
Coming back to Montreal, made me feel uneasy but this is where the story has to end.
I gazed at Jeremy, anticipating his sinister smile.
"Now sweetheart, I'm not saying I don't like Montreal, but I was thinking, you'd choose the Bahamas or something. "
"Come on babe, you'll love Montreal I promise."
"I sure hope so, I just want our first anniversary to be perfect, Alana."
I clutched the gun in my bag, ensuring it was reachable. And forced a smile, "It will be unforgettable, I promise."
As we strolled through Montreal, I hesitated going near the park where Kane proposed. But I knew the only way to set myself free, was to go there.
"Close your eyes, Alana."
"Another gift?"
"Yes."
"Jeremy, you bought me a car, what else could you have possibly gotten me?"
"Just close your eyes."
"Fine."
He held my hand and placed it on a small box. My heart sank at the thought that he was about to propose at the same place Kane did.
"Open your eyes, my love. "
He opened the box and it was a gold book pedant. I exhaled in relief.
"This is gorgeous Jeremy, you always know how to make me smile."
"Hopefully, this will inspire you to finish that novel of yours."
"I'm almost done, I'm planning on finishing it tonight."
"Tonight?"
"Yes, it's time to put an end to the story, once and for all."
I looked at him, still waiting for the sinster smile, with my other hand on the gun in my purse.
"To be honest, the only gift I wanted from you was to finally get to read the manuscript of your mysterious novel."
"It's a hot mess, you wouldn't be able to read it."
"Okay, so then tell me about it, from chapter to chapter."
"Jeremy, we'd be here all night."
"Well, it's a good thing this park is not closing anytime soon."
"I don't even know where to start."
"Start from the beginning, duh. Pretend you're reading straight from the manuscript. "
"Okay...the main characters, Nena and Troy, met in their final year of high school..."
I took a deep breathe, and dived into a past full of nightmares.
Nena was doing an internship with Dr. Lamont, one of the top psychiatrist in the country, who also happens to be Troy's mother.
One night Troy barged into the office.
"Where is she!" He demanded.
"Who?"
"Dr. Lamont!"
Nena thought he was a deranged patient, and reached for the emergency button.
"Forget it, I'll find her myself."
She followed him to the back of the office.
"Oh wow, I never thought I'd see the day my son would visit me at work."
"You told the guards not to let me in the house?"
"Yes, my darling son, I did."
"What did I do now, mother?"
"Oh Troy, remember when I told you, that you could never hide anything from me?"
"Yes, I remember. "
"You really thought I wouldn't find out that you've been calling and texting your useless father."
"He's my father, why can't I call or text him?"
"Nena darling, you may go home. And please close the door behind you."
After closing the door, Nena couldn't help but peep through the hole on the side of the door.
"Troy, tell me, how much money has your so called father spent on you?"
"I don't care about that mother, I just want to get to know him."
"You will not and can not, get to know him."
"Why? For years I've been asking you why, but you won't give me an answer."
"Because I said so, there's your answer."
"You can't stop me from getting to know my own father."
"Then you can't step a foot in my house."
"Mother, please," Troy pleaded
"Please what Troy?"
"Don't kick me out again, I have no where to go."
His mother smirked, "Go on your knees and beg."
Troy went on his knees, and looked up at his mother.
"Please Mom, I really need him in my life, I just want to get to know him, that's all."
His mother slapped him, "You ungrateful child, after all I've done for you, I'm still not enough.Why don't you go live with your broke pathetic father then, mhm?"
"He lives half way across the fucking world and you froze all my accounts, so I can't get a flight even if I wanted to!"
"So walk there for all I care, and get the fuck out of my office."
As Troy rushed to the door, Nena quickly ran to the elevator.
She saw the look on Troy's face and followed him out the building.
Troy leaned against the wall, forcing himself not to cry.
Nena stood next to him, fixing his hair, "Let it out; it's okay to let the tears out."
She knew all about having mommy issues, and felt Troy's pain.
Troy grabbed her and held her tight, as he screamed and cried into her shoulder.
Nena patiently stood there rubbing his back, "How about I get you a hotel room."
"You would do that for me?"
"Yes, it's freezing outside. And I can tell you have no where to go."
"I swear to you, once she unfreezes my bank accounts, I'll pay you back."
"Don't worry about it, let's go."
On the way there, Troy told Nena all about his mother's hatred for him and his father.
"Sometimes I wonder if she's really my mother."
"I mean I knew Dr. Lamont, was a bitch, but this....what's she's doing to you is pure evil."
When they got to the hotel, Nena paid for a room and got Troy something to eat.
"Okay, it's getting late, I better get going, I have to be at the office at exactly 4am before your mother gets there."
"Wait, now that I think about it, you look really familiar."
"Really?"
"What school do you go to?"
"St. Raymonds."
"Hmm, I played against your school's basketball team last season."
"Oh, I think I remember your face too, I'm one of the cheerleaders for my school's team. Wait aren't you the team captain who beat up the coach."
"Ahh,not the proudest moment."
Nena was taken a back at how handsome Troy was. Troy noticed her stare as she blushed and looked away.
She stood up and grabbed her coat, "If you need anything, this is my number, and here, I only have fifty- two dollars on me. I'll zelle you more tomorrow. Goodnight Troy."
Troy held her hand, "Thank you for everything Nena."
He stood up and grabbed her face, placing his lips against hers. His tongue penetrated her lips, as his hands lingered on her back.
He grabbed on to her breasts and pushed her toward the bed.
Nena paused, "Wait..."
"You're gorgeous, and your lips...your lips," he moaned.
Troy caressed his thumb on her lips and his fingers on her inner thighs.
Nena felt her body giving into his touch and allowed him to take off her clothes and bra.
He started sucking her nipples and fingering her aggressively. The pain felt unbearable but she convinced herself of how lucky she was, for someone like Troy to call her gorgeous.
"I haven't done it before," she whispered in his ear.
"Oh God, I'm sorry Nena, I just thought...you know what, we don't have to do anything". He put his fingers in his mouth, "mhmm but you taste so good," he moaned.
Nena blushed.
"Can I take you out to dinner, you know after my mother gives me access to my bank accounts again."
"I'd love that."
And that was the beginning of the end for Nena.
