Taboo: Bittersweet Revenge (Sequel)

Confession Time

...................................

I was furious to say the least, and it translated through my adrenaline pumping work out. It was the only way to comprehend this situation. Let's run through the facts shall we...

I was this close to finally helping Christian, who as it turns out has been playing me like a fiddle, used me and dumped me flat on my ass the morning after the most intimate night I could possibly imagine. And to put the cherry on top, I find out I'm pregnant.

It really was cruel, the way I was able to experience pregnancy but never actually hold my baby in my arms. It was just rubbing salt to wounds.

But I still couldn't believe a word Christian said. I know Christian! And I know that those words would never come out of his mouth, not even from Argent's monster. There had to be more to his twisted ways.

And what made it all worse is that I am now carrying his child. A doctor's pregnancy test doesn't lie. Gosh! How could I had been so stupid!!? I was letting my frustrations all out through the intense chin ups. With every rep I can feel the built up animosity finally release.

But it wasn't all because of Christian. I was angry at myself. I knew full well what I was doing. And I also knew that he doesn't want kids. I couldn't even believe it myself. The man who so desperately wanted a family to call his own had finally called it quits.

Well you know what! I quit too! I am so sick and tired of trying to change something that happened in the past. I have no control of it now. I need to keep my objectives clear, and it has been that way for 3 damn years.

Because I don't see myself slowing down, in fact, I've never looked further than this entire revenge plot. I have no plans for my life after this. That's if I end out alive!

I pump the rock music louder and louder, it circulates through out my gym. I begin to wrap my hands, and stretch my back for the circuit I had planned. It was a combination of fear and anger, culminating into every single punch of the boxing bag. And with every strike, I let out a brief scream filled with frustration.

Memories begin to flood my brain, and I allow the emotions to get a hold of me. At this point, I'm not only angry for a reason, I'm frustrated for being frustrated!

I was just so confused! What's going to happen now? Does Christian really want me in his life? And with all these unanswered questions hovering around me like a dark cloud, my strength reaches an all time high as I let out one last scream, filled with anger, frustration, and just about every negative emotion you could think of.

I was too consumed by my rage that I barely notice Austin, standing between the doorframe. I momentarily hang on the punching bag as I regain my composure. "What do you want?" I ask coldly, not giving a damn in the world.

"Got some people who are very eager to meet you....."

..........................................

"...........you said some people wanted to see me" I said, my voice fills with annoyance. I don't understand why he can't just let me meet these guys yet.

"They do, and you are going to meet the team. But first, we've got some talking to do.." He says as he ushers me into his office.

My arms cross in defense and he closes the door behind us. He gestures his hand towards the couch and I reluctantly follow his instructions, rolling my eyes in frustration at him.

"I understand you're frustrated, and I know your focused on Argent but right now, those guys out there are currently tracking him down. So for now, you need to relax, for the sake of your child" he explained.
