Chapter 24: Chapter 24
"Wow" was beautiful with a nice chandelier. The lighting was mesmerizing as I walked in and closed the door. It was filled with shelves and women's clothing. I wondered if the clothes belonged to his wife because I also saw a lot of different shoes and handbags as well as all types of expensive-looking purses.
Everyone was in order and to my greatest surprise, I walked to the left side and gasped when I saw the puppy buried under something. It was wincing in pain hence with the great speed I rushed to get it out and it seemed a toolbox of some sort had fallen over it
"Oh, no poor thing" I muttered and moved the box from its little body. I felt sad when the little one jumped in my arms and hurt and saw its little paws. I held it up and saw that it was hurt.
"It's okay little one...I'll get you an ice pack" I muttered while playing with its ears and prepared to leave but I stopped when I saw that the silver box I removed from Tiny was open and some photos fell out
"What's this? ''I muttered and reached for one picture and turned it around and I saw a beautiful woman with long brown hair posing with victor and they were holding Tiny with huge smiles on their faces. My eyes traveled to the lady and she had a small resemblance to Monica although she didn't seem cold. Her cute and beautiful oval-shaped face distinguished her from Monica. She had small dimples and the way she was hugging Victor showed nothing but love between them. I looked for more and I sat down putting the puppy in my laps as I started going through the many things in the box
I saw wedding photos, Justin was there, Monica was there together with some other people I haven't met yet
In each one of them, Victor was holding his wife, smiling at her and teasing of some sort. I was surprised imagining the grumpy man smiling which made me wonder how his wife died. Was it why he drank so much, was he missing her, and was it the reason why he needed a surrogate. I had all sorts of thoughts rushing through my head not realizing that time was trickling by. I spent a lot of time in the closet and by the time I finished checking everything which was put away. The door to the closet opened alerting me as I came back to my senses
"Oh no…"I muttered and tried to stand up only to realize Tiny was still in my last, "come on cutie" I cradled it in my arms and rose to my feet, and prepared to run out of the room but I came to a sudden half when victor stood in front of me. His expression was a deadly one as he shifted his gaze from the box then to my face. His eyes were red and sharp that just by his stare I could die a merciless death, my heart raced rapidly that I felt fear run through me and I held the puppy even more tight lowering gaze but I could feel his piercing gaze on me
"HOW DARE YOU!" he made a low yell in an angry deadly voice that echoed throughout the room making me flinch out of fear. Sweat dripped down my body and my knees weakened that any time I would collapse from fright. I knew I was dead for sure.
