Chapter 59: Chapter 59

Constance's point of view:

Darren?

What's Darren doing here? Anger surged through me as I stood up not minding my tiredness. My anger blazed towards him. I will never forget what Darren did to me and I can never forgive him. I was glad When he didn't show up in front of me again after what he did because I don't know what I might do to him if I see him.

Wait… how did he even know that I'm here? How did he find this place? He isn't supposed to know here. Nobody knows here except Jocelyn and Victor. Even my husband's family doesn't even know here. How the heck did Darren find here?

“Darren, what are you doing here? My voice is so cold and my eyes are shooting red towards him. “How did you know about this place?"

He didn't speak, rather he was staring at me with a smirk on his lips. He appeared dangerous at this moment, this is not the Darren I used to know. Well, he's the same Darren just that before he masked his true nature but now he's showing it off.

His eyes were trailing my body with a mischievous smirk and a lustful gaze. He was checking me out as if he would eat me. That was when I realized that the cloth I'm wearing is too sensitive. It's a crop top and a short that barely reached my middle thigh.

I was a mess after it was said that my husband is dead. Jocelyn was the one that forced me to take my bath and these clothes were what my hands could reach. I lazily put them on and when Jocelyn left, I found myself weeping over my husband's photo.

The dangerous and lustful look Darren is giving me is slowly gathering fear in my heart. Even though I've taken my bath and put on these clothes, I still look like a mess. My face and eyes are all red and swollen. Did he still find me attractive in this state? I think he's already obsessed with me, no matter how I look, he will still find me attractive.

When he was coming close to me with that lustful gaze in his eyes. I gulped down. It seems as if I've lost my boldness, that courage I had to stand up against him some seconds ago is gone. Darren tried raping me in the past. No one is here, what if he tries to do it again. How will I fight my way out? He's a man and probably stronger than me.

He was still making his way towards me, I was moving back in fear. My heart had already started beating rapidly. I kept on moving back as he was moving towards me until my back hit the wall and then he was close to me and he caged me with his calloused hands.

I gulped down and took my eyes away but he tilted my chin to look directly into his eyes. The dirty smirk is still on his lips and the lust in his eyes. He looked down at my breast and licked his lips sexily, probably he saw my cleavages which stood out from the crop top.

He was staring down at my breast with hunger in his eyes. He tried grabbing my breast but I pushed his hand away as my chest was rising and falling in anger.

No, I won't be weak. Not now that my baby could be in danger if Darren tries to do something stupid. I must fight him with all my strength.

“Why Constance? Why won't I touch those beautiful temptations in front of me?" His voice now irritates me.

“What is wrong with you Darren? Was our friendship nothing to you? I thought that if we meet again, you would try to explain things to me because you owe me an explanation!" I snapped. I'm damn angry right now. But I'm hoping that my words will be able to touch Darren, I hope that he has not become a monster yet. I really hope that he will say sorry, that he will give me a good explanation but the look I'm seeing in his eyes is telling me otherwise.

He chuckled and his eyes stared deep into mine. “I do not owe you any explanation my dear Constance. What I did, I never regretted it. I want you and I must have you. I wasn't able to have you some months ago but now you are mine."

I gulped down. He must have me, is he talking about raping me? My husband is not here to save me like before, no one is here to save me. But I have myself, I will not allow Darren to touch me.

“I have always loved you Constance, why didn't you choose me over that man who had done nothing but hurt you. I did everything to make you mine but you still chose him. Now that he's gone,I'm going to make you mine." He tried crashing his lips on mine but I pushed him away with all my strength.

I tried running away but he dragged me back and held me tight. I struggled to leave his grip but he's stronger than me.

“Let me go now!" I holler. He chuckled sarcastically and started kissing my neck.

No, this won't happen. I won't let him touch me. An idea came into my mind and I quickly put it into action. I used my leg and hit him in his groin.

He yelped in pain and subconsciously released me. I took that opportunity and started running away. I was close to the door when his voice stopped me.

“If you run away, you won't see your friend Jocelyn just like you will never see your husband ever again."

I stood frozen. What does he mean? I won't see Jocelyn just like I will never see my husband again. Why do I feel that Darren has something to do with my husband's death and he has also done something to Jocelyn. I turned angrily towards him as I walked up to him and held him by his shirt.

“What have you done to my friend?!" I grime. He smirked, making me more irritated.

“Cool down sweetheart. I didn't do anything to her but I might do something to her just like I did to your husband if you do not cooperate."

I felt my blood dry at that moment. When I had the thought that Darren could have something to do with the death of my husband, I found it hard to believe it. I never thought that Darren had turned into a monster.

“Yes sweetheart, I killed your husband. It wasn't an ordinary plane crash. It was a bomb. He's on my way of getting what I want so I got him out of the way. Now that he's gone, nothing will stop me from getting what I want." He laughed out loud and it sounded evil to my ear.

I felt my legs weak as I fell on the floor. My eyes are already soaked in tears. Darren killed my husband. No, I killed my husband. If I hadn't allowed someone like Darren into my life, all these wouldn't have happened.

“Nooo!!" I screamed in pain and tears. I stood up angrily and charged towards Darren. I tried hitting his chest but he held my tiny wrist which had become more tiny because I haven't eaten well since the last three days.

“You bastard, how dare you kill my husband! I will kill you!!!" My voice reverberated in the room. I'm enormously enraged. I was fighting vigorously to release my wrist from his grip.

“Calm down Constance. Your husband is already dead and gone. You should think about your best friend because if you do not do anything, she will die too." I stilled but my body was shaking and the anger in me was rising with great force. I swear on my dead parents that I will make Darren pay. I will make him pay for killing my husband and make me a widow at the age of twenty.

“Listen Constance, you need to calm down and think. Your husband is dead but the life of your best friend and your grandfather is in danger."

I stare blazingly at him. “What the hell do you mean?"

“I didn't make all the plans. Kevin worked with me. He was the one that got your grandfather in coma and the stupid private investigator your husband hired is dead already. As we speak now, your grandfather is no longer in the hospital. He's in my custody, together with Jocelyn. And after twenty four hours and you do not do what I want, I will kill them both."

I felt like my body was turning cold. I was finding it hard to breathe. Darren…. He's definitely a monster, he killed my husband and now he wants to kill my best friend and my grandfather. Kevin was working with him. That animal! My husband and I were right all along.

“You and Kevin are both animals! You will pay for killing my husband and putting my grandfather in a bad condition!" I was still fighting to leave his grip. I want to rip this man apart. Though I'm not strong, I'm going to use every strength in me to do it.

“Stop it Constance! You can't do anything to me. You and I know it. Just corporate and your grandfather will be alive. Jocelyn will also be alive."

“Why are you doing this Darren? Why have you turned into a monster? Jocelyn was your friend and you had the heart to kidnap her." I was praying that my words could touch him but I was wrong.

“Are you ready to cooperate with me to save your grandfather and Jocelyn or you want them dead?" He asked coldly.

“What do you want?"

A dirty smile appeared on his lips. “I want you, I want you to marry me."
