Unrequited Love

Chapter 11

"Hello, Regina. It's been a while."Gina looked at the stranger who allowed her name to roll off his tongue and her astonishment turned into fear. "Who are you?" Travis said this as he put himself in front of Gina. "I did not come to you. I am here to see Regina. So if I were you I would get out of my way.""Travis let me handle this." With apprehension, masking her face Gina moved around Travis's firmly grounded body and stood in front of the man. "Good choice love."Gina instantly heard the masked British accent coming into earshot. She then tried to figure out how he knew her name and what he wanted from her. "How may I help you?""Why did you do it, Regina?""Do what?" The puzzled look on Gina's face was enough to make Travis's heart skip a beat."You left us. That was a very bad idea, Regina. We were perfect together. We made plans. I proposed to you and you left me. You left us." Saying this he was taking slow and pensive steps toward Gina. She began to back away from him, as her shock became fear. Travis quietly took out his phone and clicked record. He instantly felt eyes on him when he heard, "I wouldn't do that if I were you son. Give me the phone."Handing him his handset Travis's look of fear became disgust and anger. "Ste Vaughn?"Hearing the familiar name he hasn't heard for years now, the man quickly turned around and faced the direction of his name."You remember me now love. Good girl.""What happened to your face? What are you doing here?""You left me, Regina. And all I did was love you. I loved you so much I gave up so much for you, but no, you couldn't love me back. You didn't love me the way I loved you. We made plans Regina. We planned our life, our family, and our future. We were supposed to be together. You and me. I came here because I thought I should try getting you back. But then I saw you with him. At first, I thought you were with this excuse of a man standing right here. Then I thought, no, not Regina. You like the enigmatic, meticulous types. Remember, that's how you fell for me. So I thought about following you around some more when I finally got a glimpse of him. You are quite the whore these days Regina. You fuck around at parties with older men and then you go hunting at night with this Carlisle character. I must say hats off to you bitch. I always knew who you were but I looked past it and loved you unconditionally and dearly. I loved you and I still do. And if I can't have you, no one else can. Not even that pompous ass you are drooling over, Carlisle, the man who has been rejecting you for so long and you refuse to take a hint. But you see Regina, I never rejected you and you still have a chance to come home with me and make this right, so come love, take my hand and let us walk out of here together." With arms, outstretched Ste Vaughn, reached towards Gina whose back was now bracing against the wall."Let Travis go first.""No love. I can't trust him. He is going to cause a scene. Can't risk that. Actually, I could kill him right here. What you think about that?" "If you hurt him I will not go with you.""Ok, now that's the truth. You were always so passionate about helping other people when it was you who needed the help you little bitch.""Just let him go.""I'm going to cut you a deal. I am going to take you into your office with me and tie him up out here. If he tries to escape, you die. Let me make this clear, he doesn't have to succeed at escaping, he only needs to attempt it and you die." Turning to Travis Ste Vaughn looked at him with scorn. "Did you hear me loud and clear son?"Responding to his captor with a nod, Travis found the nearest chair and sat down. Ste Vaughn then took his bag and frisked him for anything else that could communicate with the outside world. Discovering nothing on his person, Ste Vaughn shoved him into a corner on the floor and told him not to move. He shoved Gina towards her office and forced her to open the door. Gina took her keys from her bag and opened her office door. Tears were welling up in her eyes as she thought could this day possibly get any worst.
