Had to let go.

VINCENT

I rolled on the bed uncalmly since I couldn't step out of the house because of those fucking reporters, I will have to wait till night so Ben can do something. I really and badly need to see Skylar.

The door open all of a sudden and I sprang up startled by that.

"Been, what the fuck?" I scolded.

"Sir..sir this is not time to scold me, You won't believe what I'm seeing right now" He ranted and my eyebrows raised on their own.

"And what could that be?" I asked,

"This is really bad for Miss Skylar, Her almost nude pictures are going Viral"

"What?!" I exclaimed, No, her almost nude picture? Who could probably do that? She won't do that to herself which means someone is messing with her.

I get down from the bed immediately,

"Been, hand over my walking cane" I Inquire.

"Sir, you need to calm down, You can't go out" he reminded.

"I'm not going out, Just give me my fucking walking cane!" I yelled at him infuriated.

"Oh…oh..okay sir" he shuttered while handing over the cane to me.

"Take me to where Stella is?" I told him.

STELLA

Standing close the Balcony sipping my wine. I smile when I heard footsteps close to where I am.

I think his dog informed him already, I turned back seeing him match up to where I am with his Dog(Ben).

"Stella, tell me the fuck why are you messing with My girlfriend!" He yelled while I only smile.

"Your girlfriend? and why did you think I did it?" I shrugged and he moved his cane closer to me, also taking a step forward.

"You are the only bitch that I can think of, you are going beyond your limit Stella, You will regrets it, Stop messing with her" he gritted and he is began to annoy me already.

"She should learn to stay away from someone's Husband, Don't you think?" I asked, raising my hand close to his chest.

"I will mess with her more if You two keep coming close" I stand on my toes to whisper to his ear.

I walked pass him, Smile at his Dog(Ben) before walking away.

"This is just the beginning"

MRS ABIGAIL

Walking into the restaurant, a waitress walked up to me.

"Welcome ma'am" She bow while I only look around looking for Mrs Smith.

She wave her hand at me on sighting her.

Good, I walked up to her and she smile widely.

"It's been a long time Abigail" She gave me that a devilish smile while I also smile.

"Yeah, eversince Since my husband Death" I shrugged.

"But the rumour that is going aroundthat Your daughter is betrothed to Vincent, is it true? " I asked and she chuckled boastfully.

"Of course, it is, They are to get married to eachother, that is what your husband want" She said. But why do i feel she is lying?

There is nothing my husband wants to do rhat I won't know.

A smirk dance in my lips as I brought my head closer to her.

"Why do I feel you are after same thing I'm after" I whispered and she chuckled.

"Really? Then I might have to win this one, Have it all to myself" She whispered back to me while I let out a soft chuckle.

Raising up the wine to sip, "Mrs Smith, I don't think so, you might be really big this time around" I winked and sipped from the wine.

"Well… " Standing up on her feet,

"The battle line has just been drawn and watch how I win it all to myself" A sly smile danced on her lips before she walked away.

What a bitch she always is! I hate her!

I looked around making sure I didn't keep the anger in my countenance, so people won't find out anything.

I need to do anything to make sure I have all the properties all to myself.

****LATE AT NIGHT <8pm>

SKYLAR

I hug my body to myself in deep thought. I'm in real shit! What will everyone think of me now? Evelyn? Ma'am Gina? Mr Ben? Even Annie is mad at me after finding out I worked as a slut to save her.

It is not my fault, I had to do anything to save her. Who could do such a thing to me? One mind is actually telling me, it is no other than that Bitch, Stella but why?

Why am I getting hurt because I Love Vincent? Why is it hurting so much?

Bending my head, I breathed out heavily. My heart is heavy right now, I don't even know what to do. Maybe I can't be with Vincent after all. But I love him so much.

I jolted as a knock came at the door.

"Skylar" Anita peeped her head in while I quickly wiped the tears that might be visible on my face.

She pitifully walked up to me.

"You are crying again? " Placing her hand on my cheeks.

"I know it hurts right but you don't have to make it worse for yourself, you will be fine, I'm sure Mr Vincent will do something to it" She gave me an assuring smile but I knew deep down in me the contract can't be terminated anymore.

"He is here" That seems to surprise me.

"Who? Vincent?" I asked and she nodded. I rushed down from the bed instantly. He is here? At this late night? What about the reporters? Evelyn called me earlier and she told me about the reporters.

"Boss, she is here" Mr Ben notified him and I breathed out on sighting him.

"Skylar" He moved his walking cane from where he is but I hugged him instead while he remained still.

"Vincent" I don't know why I bursted into tears but I know it is because I missed him and all shit that is happening to me. I really need him too badly.

"Baby" He hugged me tightly to his body.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" He pleaded while I pulled away sniffling.

"The contract… . You're going to terminate it right? " I shuttered hoping for a positive answer but his look told it all, my eyes ran into Mr Ben and his eyes dropped also.

I knew it.

"I'm gonna do everything to be with you, Skylar, I can't even live without you" He held my arms tightly, pulling me tight. We stay like that for a while just listening to each other's heartbeat.

Abruptly, the door flicked open and we had to pull away. My eyes widened as it met with the terror in her eyes. How the hell did she know where I live?

She just appeared in a short gown wearing a flip flop. What the hell?

"Miss Stella '' Mr Ben called surprised also.

"Stella, shit! " Vincent cursed. The bitch scoffed walking fully in.

"Really? You this whore, you really wanna do this? " She scoffed, glaring hard at me while I returned the glares hard also.

"Stella, what the hell are you doing here?" Vincent angrily asked but she ignored walking up to me. What a bitch!

" You want to prove stubborn right, you bitch " She gritted while I glared at her.

"You have no fucking right to called me Bitch! " I yelled at her while she only laughed. I think our voices may have alerted Annie and Anita because they rushed out of the room.

"Skylar" Anita called worrily.

"Sister, what is going on? " Annie questioned but no one spoke up. Stella directed her look to them before chuckling.

"I see you don't love them, you really want them to get hurt right? " She said, fixing her gaze on them.

"Stella, don't… . " I cut Vincent before he could land.

"Are you threatening me right now? " I scoffed but she chuckled again like it is the best thing to do.

"No, It's not a threat, they will definitely get hurt if you don't stay away from my husband! " She said aloud. She wants to hurt them.

Okay I've had enough of this.

"Stella you have no right because I'm not your husband and I will never be" Vincent told her but I closed my eyes before breathing out, I need to decide.

"Okay fine, you guys should go away, Listen bitch, You can have him all to yourself so just fucking get out of my house, now" I finally said and that brings a smirk on her lips but I could see the dismay on Vincent's face.

"Skylar, are you pushing me away too? You.. You can't do this to me" He said about moving closer to me but I Stopped him.

"Yes, I'm pushing you away, I'm letting you go so as to protect them, Vincent, I can't let my only family get hurt" I huskily told him but he was transfixed. I turned to Mr Ben who also looked sad.

"Please" I muttered then he moved closer to Vincent.

"We need to go Sir" He told him but he still finds it hard to move.

"Vincent, please just go" I pleaded and he nodded like he got it now.

"Ben, let's go" Mr Ben held him by arm and they moved, the bitch smiled at me and walked out as well.

As soon as they left, I fell to the ground losing it. I just pushed him away.

"Sister"

"Skylar" Annie and Anita rushed to my side. Tears pricked already in my eyes, This is the first time I'm loving someone this much. Why do I have to always let go of people I love?

"It hurts here" I cried out in pain. Because my heart is so heavy right now.

"I know, you shouldn't have pushed him away,you know? " Anita pulled me into a tight hug while I cried the more.I really had let go of him.
