The Tiger

Chapter 19

Sarah's POV

"You fucking lied to me! Why did you do this to me?" Fernando stormed in after some time while I was lying on his bed. I felt hurt like my heart was pulled out of my chest. I was scared as hell too.

"What'd I do?" I asked, clearly not understanding what he was talking about.

"I know what you did so you can quit the act. You fucking tried to have sex with Jacob and blamed it on him!" he yelled at me, anger clear in his eyes as well as his voice. He was raging with it. Tears started forming in my eyes at his false accusation. I was shocked that he would even think about me that way and believe Jacob.

"What?" I shouted at him and I knew the tears had already started to pour down.

"Don't lie!"

"You don't believe me! That's unbelievable!" I threw my hands into the air.

"I heard your recording with him! It clearly showed that you were the one trying to seduce him!" he shouted at me again and I backed away in fear though he hadn't come near me. I was thankful he didn't because I honestly did not know what he'd do to me.

"I did not do that... He tried to rape me... he is lying... You don't trust me?" I asked as my whole body shattered.

"No!"

"They're right! You are a wild animal! You don't deserve to be with anyone! I can't even remember why I fell for this beast," I shouted, motioning at him. The tears kept streaming down.

"Well, you can leave now and fuck whoever you want to. I'm done with you," he shouted at me.

"Are you serious?"

"I said leave my damn room!

"Fine!" I replied between my sobs and walked off to my room but before I could go, he held my hand.

"Don't you dare try to leave my house or I will find you and you'll have to face the punishment," he whispered in a low tone which did not fail to send shivers down my spine. I ran off to my room and buried myself into the bedsheets. How could he do that? He didn't trust me. Maybe we weren't meant to be together. Maybe it was just a phase. I cried my eyes out and stayed in my room for what felt like hours. My head started to ache and I fell asleep somewhere in the evening.

I had slept early so I woke up early at like 5:30 in the morning. Everything he'd said came back. Tears threatened to fall but I did not allow them to.

You are strong and don't let a guy affect you so much!

I failed to do so. I started crying again and stayed in my bed.

The next 10 to 15 days were spent in the bed by me. I'd cry at times or just stare into space thinking about all our good times. Food would come to me and sometimes, I'd also get ice cream which I ate while watching Netflix. No one tried to contact me and I knew it was because of him. I really missed him. I missed us. Staying on the island was the best month I've ever had in my life. I tried to remove the engagement ring off my finger but I couldn't bring myself to do that. It hurt too damn much. I just wanted someone's shoulder to cry on. It made me feel weak that I wasn't around him. It made me feel dead from the inside. I knew I still loved him and I don't think I can ever stop loving him.

I fell asleep that day too with a headache. I woke up the next morning with bile trying to come out my mouth. I quickly went to the bathroom and vomited out whatever I had eaten last night. I brushed my teeth and saw that it was only 5:45. I decided to go out for a jog to get over him. I can't just stay in that room and keep thinking about him and sulking around.

You need to move ahead Sarah!

I dressed in a sports bra and shorts, sure to keep the shorts extra short as to tease him.

I made my way downstairs and there was literally no one awake. I was satisfied to see that. But unfortunately, I met Jerry. Jeremy. I was going to completely ignore him.

"Good morning," he said, forcing a smile. I just looked at him and nodded. I was about to leave..

"Please hear me out." What could he possibly have to say to me?

"Look, I know the whole situation. But trust me and please and talk to him. He has started drinking like there's no tomorrow. He's getting worse day by day. And at night breaks the speed limit every day on highways. He's gonna kill himself. Please talk to him. He is not talking to even a single one of us, not even Harp. Please." He said that and left.

I felt a pang in my chest and tears brimming my eyes, but I convinced myself not to cry and moved on. I went outside to the lawn and started jogging around the frickin mansion. The sight was beautiful. The grass was wet from the water sprays and I liked the feel of it. The sun was rising from the horizon and it was satisfying to see that after what felt like half a month. I had literally lost track of days since that fiasco but now I was getting back to work and leaving this house as soon as possible. I was jamming on to music on headphones, when suddenly.....
