Tessa's POV 
&bull;&bull;&bull;
I couldn't sleep the whole night. It was around 6 am when I heard my phone ring. Just when I was about to sleep... I looked at the caller's ID... Kara. 
I picked it up. "How could you?" That was the first thing I heard. 
"How could I?"
"Oh don't act fucking stupid! I heard everything. You've been acting this whole while... The truth is finally out, just admit to it."
"Kara.."
"Don't even say my name! Now I want you to listen, do not ever try to reach out to me ever again, an innocent man died because of you! You're disgusting." and with that, the phone went off. 
What was happening?! Why was all this happening to me, what have I ever done to deserve all this? I cried out.

"It's easier than I anticipated." She said with a smirk. 
"Yeah, so what's next?"
"Austin would be getting 


It was later that night, and for some reason, I felt bad for what I did last night. I was scared. The woman we're talking about here is a woman with power and I'm just... A nobody. 
What if she decides to harm my daughter to get back at me? She'd surely do something, no doubt in my mind. 
Should I leave this place? But then, where in the world would I go? 
If I decide to leave this country and go back home, I would be left with absolutely nothing. But it's better than getting hurt. 
Well, that thought is a failure... I lost my passport. I lost everything. 
Think, Tessa, Think. 
I was abruptly stopped from my thoughts when I noticed a black car stopped only a few feet from my house, I looked through my house window, my neighbours normally don't use their cars at this time. And I don't think any of them has a black Mercedes. 
Something like this has happened before for me to think nothing

"Uh... Uh.." I stuttered, at a loss for words. I couldn't get my brain to work, everything in me suddenly froze, and my nerves shut down. 
I felt someone grab me by my arm, waking me back up, it was Austin's mom. "I said, get out of here, you peasant!"
She was dragging me out of the room. "No, please! Let go" The way she was dragging me was humiliating. 
"Ma'am.."
She stopped at Jake's voice. "Shut up, Jake, I do not want to hear a single word from you! What has this witch done to you?! She bewitched you and Austin! She's got to leave us alone! She needs to get out of our lives for good! I promised your mother that I would take care of you, treat you like my child, protect you, especially from witches and whores like this thing!" She said referring to me. 
I took in a deep breath, refusing to let it out. "Ever since she came into our lives, it's been nothing but bad l
