I got into my car in the fist of my anger, I drove off. Arriving at Gerald's home, there was no way that I was going to knock with this so much anger fueling inside of me, I swung the door open and in the living room was Gerald and Anne and they both seemed to be having a deep conversation.
I needed no confirmation again regarding the record that I listened to and immediately I lifted my hand and slam him hard on his face.
"Ciara, what do you think you are doing?" Anne ask reading to attack but Gerald just held his face silently and not dare maintain eye contact with me.
"I will advise you Anne that you keep your mouth shut or else, I am going to show you what a lunatic I am."
"Shut up Ciara, you go around beating people up because you think you are so strong, Ryan isn't right here with you and if you dare try to act funny, I will beat you up until you can't barely walk."
"Anne, that is enough, leave us because I will like to have a conversation with Ciara."
"Are you saying that you are going to let that slap slid just like that?"
"Anne please just go, I will call you on phone later." His voice still calm, and this time she stood up but not without brushing past me furiously.
"Gerald how could you, I thought you were my best friend in the whole wide world that I could confide in, how could you do this to me and try to ruin my relationship?"
"If only you had given me even just a tiny attention then maybe we won't be here right now, you only need my shoulder to cry when he breaks your heart and just an apology from him, you run back to him again like a child who is unable to differentiate left from right."
"I do not care what you think, my heart belongs to Ryan alone and there is nothing that you do that will change that, believe me when I say that I am truly disappointed in you and do not want to have anything to do with you ever again."
"I have only offended you just this once, but what about him, he used you, hurt you and even made mockery of your feelings again and again but you forgive him, not like I did anything bad, I was only trying to get your art, to make you see me and love me."
"You think that I will ever love a cruel human like you?"
"Why can't you love me Ciara, I am ready to do anything for you, I stood by your side all through your crises, but what did Ryan do, he only came back after you had become successful and take everything away from you, everything that you worked so hard for, yet you were ready to forgive him but why can't you forgive me also."
"Because you were my friend, my best friend and you plotted with my enemy, she was going to take the company away from me and you were fine with it?"
"That isn't true, I had other plans regarding that aspect and was only using her, all I wanted was for the both of us to be together and give birth to kids, run the company together, I pictured our life together and it was so beautiful."
"I am Sorry Gerald but I can't keep having this conversation with you, stay away from me or anything that concerns me, the next time that I see you anywhere close to me, I will file a restriction against you, Good bye Gerald!?"
I spoke and try to walk away but he immediately tucked me back and pulled me into his arms. His eyes were dark, I have never seen him look at me in such manner and it sent shiver down my spine.
"Where do you think you are going, you are mine Ciara and if I can't have you, no one else will." He spoke in a deep voice, his dark eyes piercing deep at me and I froze in terror.
"What are you doing Gerald, let me go!!" I try to pull away from his grip, but he held me tighter, his nails piercing through my skin that I could feel the pain surge through my vein.
"You are hurting me, stop right now else I am going to scream." I threatened hoping that my words would scare him but instead he kiss me fiercely, I felt so irritated and bite his lips hard forcing him to pull away and there was traces of blood on his lips.
Although he was supposed to feel angry at my action but instead he cupped my face in the most tender way and kissed my forehead.
"I love you so much Ciara and the only thing that kept me going all this while was the hope that one day you were going to be mine, Please Ciara, I have saved a lot of money, we can elope along with Herzl, I promise to treat you in the best way as possible and make certain that no harm comes your way."
His voice was gentle as he caress my face but I was sweating profusely and all that I wanted at that moment was to get away from him. This was not the Gerald that I know for a long time, everything seem to have changed about him and right now he was looking like a serial killer.
"You are never leaving me, you are mine Ciara and I know that soon you will learn to love me, you just need to give it a try and you will realize how amazing I can be."
"Please Gerald, let me get home first, you are hurting me." I cried out with his nails piercing deep into my skin, he was conscious of the pain that it was inflicting on me and yet he did not seemed to be bothered.
Just then, there was a loud bang on the door and it swung open with Ryan rushing inside and slamming Gerald hard.
