Chapter 23
Jennie Wilson POV
” Vi…… Vincent he……!!!”
” Vincent!? What about him?”
” I will explain everything to you please come to this address immediately please I beg you!! Please Jennie! Come before it’s too late”
” Alright I will be there! Don’t cry !”
Panick gripped me and everything was reeling out of my mind. I hurriedly wore my sweater and jeans pant and locked the house. I hired a taxi and showed him the address given by Emma.
After few minutes, I had to force myself to breathe, looking through the window at the house we were passing by.
These manors were opulent and looking like they came out of the celebrity homes magazines, exuding loads of money.
I did a double take of the surrounding when the driver stopped in front of the ornate main gate and he proceeded down the driveway.
Oh my God!!
It was an enormous property that spoke tales of money. A white brick and stone mansion in the distance was 10 times bigger than my home, it’s driveway long and tree-lined.
I could even see a gigantic fountains with angles carrying water pots that adorned the end of the driveway. The whole estate cost a pretty penny.
I got up from the taxi and gave it’s fair. I heard Rose and Emma coming towards me. My heart broke seeing them crying.
” Jennie!” Emma hugged me and cried heavily.
” What happened? Tell me stop crying…… anyone?” I freaked out.
” Vi…… Vincent…… He has gone mad…… he is out of control… Eva…… Eva was here, to the party!”
Eva was here!? This is bad!!!
” And?”
” Everything messed up! There was a big fight between him and…… her current boyfriend Jake. As usual she was cruel towards him and everything messed up Jennie.”
” Now Vincent’s mind is in a turmoil, he is crashing everything, he is going mad!! Please help him otherwise he will kill himself.” Emma cried.
We ran inside the mansion and I could hear crashing and crying sounds of Vincent.
” Blake and Aaron are not in the city, they are out for some work. It will be too late if they try to come. Xavier can’t handle him alone. Vincent has locked the door, and threatened us he will kill himself if we try to come near him.”
Crash!!! Thud!!!!
We heard crashing sounds of things and Vincent’s shouting and crying. My heart started to beat wildly due to fear.
Suddenly Emma bent down to my knee level and I jerked back and held her hands preventing her from touching my legs.
” Please I beg you please help him…… he will die Jennie, please help my brother.”
” What are you doing Emma…… please don’t embarrass me, I will do whatever you say, please don’t cry!”
” Please…… dress as Eva and go to him please…… I beg you. He might calm down if he sees Eva. That heartless b*tch will never come to him, it’s only you who can save him.”
Whatttt!!!
If I go there he might do anything to me, but everyone are counting on me……
No this is so wrong. This is twisted. I don’t want to be a coward.
I need to help her…… I need to help him. Father always told me to be kind and honest no matter what.
” He even tried to suicide Jennie! Please help him please I beg you!!”
Oh God, Vincent. He lived in the same world, facing the obstacles and demons. He even thought of suicide!?
I gasped, not being able to breathe or think from so much pain. No. No, I didn’t want him to kill himself…… Not that.
” Ok I will do it.”
I dressed like Eva and let my long hair free and and wore make-up, everything was out of my range. The dress was expensive and I never wore make-up, I totally looked like Eva.
” Here you go Jennie! Please be safe…… make him calm down… no pressure. Here’s the key for the door” Emma hugged me and gave me the key to the Vincent’s room.
This was it. I was going to the Lion’s den, I stared at the spiral staircase, there was a possibility of me not coming back alive too.
My heart accelerated, associating these sounds with Vincent, there was cry that sounded like it came from the depths of his soul. I listened intently and flinched when I heard him cry again which verged on a scream.
You can do this Jennie! You can do this!!!
I cracked open the door and peeked inside. Everything was broken, vase, TV, his king size bed ripped, and a couple of other electronics I didn’t knew name of. Everything was messed up and broken.
He began throwing another vase against the wall, crashing it violently. The shards flew all around the room, and it was a disturbing sight to see.
It looked like he was running away from his demons, his each move a desperate attempt to get rid of the visible tension that carried his body.
It was in the moment when Vincent finally stopped and he looked at me.
” Eva!?” Our eyes met and I gulped. I thought he was going to loose it again, but he started coming towards me.
My eyes glued to his in fear. They were two pits of anxious as he glared at me, his body shaking uncontrollably. I stepped backward, and he immediately followed.
His face was too close, so I had no choice but to look at him in the eyes. He reeked of alcohol and cigarettes, and I was appalled that he was completely drunk right now.
” Eva my love!! I was so afraid…… I thought you wouldn’t come. My love…… my Eva… I love you so much Eva… please don’t leave me ever again.” Vincent ducked my head in his chest and hugged me tightly crying heavily.
His shaking intensified, and he held me tightly as if he was afraid of letting me go.
” Eva…… everybody said you wouldn’t come back, but you proved everyone wrong. I forgive you for what you said today. I love you Eva!” He cried out, still holding me tightly.
I was scared to utter a word because even a small mistake could set him off and he would hurt me, if he found out I was not his Eva.
Vincent’s eyes were filled with love and he watched me. His face had an expression I never saw before, all traces of constant disdain gone, and it was like I was seeing a completely different person.
My heart throbbed in a prolonged silence that ensued, bound to him in a world where no one existed but us. He pecked my forehead and raked my hair.
” Why do you keep running from me Eva? I forgive you for everything you have done to me. Please don’t be mad at me, I need you Eva, I love you so much baby girl.” He kissed my cheeks and blush crept all over my cheeks.
I know it wasn’t for me, but it was the first time someone kissed me on my cheeks…… I mean a boy.
His pulse was calming down as he ducked my head on his chest, crying silently.
That pain had been unlike anything I’d witnessed, so raw and deep that it had completely changed the way I saw him.
I inhaled his cologne, pine tree scent mixed with the smell of cigarettes and alcohol, stirring my insides and making my heart beat faster.
I tried to look at him, but he held my head tightly against his chest, pressing his warm palm against my cheek.
I couldn’t move, listening to the increasing tempo of his heart beat through his shirt.
” Eva…… you don’t know how much pain I have gone through since the day you left me all alone. Why Eva why? Why did you do this to me? Why did you choose that bastard over me? ”
He looked at me with liquid fire in his eyes as he was expecting answers from me. I didn’t say anything and I was still breathing erratically as my heart raced under his scrutiny.
I swallowed the lump in my throat as I was shivering from his gaze. He somehow noticed my shivers, his face relaxed and he pecked my forehead.
” It’s ok Eva, don’t be scared. I won’t hurt you baby…… I forgave you already. I love you so much Eva. Please never leave me alone again.”
He kissed my cheeks, he kissed my nose, now he angled his head to kiss my lips!?
No!! My first kiss!!!
I can’t let him kiss me!!!!!
Do something Jenn!!!!
I pushed him slightly facing my head away from him. He pulled my head back with his hand and I jerked when his skin made contact with my face.
His eyes…… his eyes were burning, devouring me, and reaching the farthest corners of my soul. There was no hate…… Just need.
” Why aren’t you speaking anything? Why are you ignoring me like this? I am sorry for today…… I shouldn’t have screamed on you…… I can’t live without you Eva…… please don’t ignore me like this.”
Oh God. This made me so nauseated, and I felt my chest constricting in suffocating pain. His words revealed the great extent of his sadness and insecurities.
How could Eva be so heartless, abandoning him just like that. He was madly in love with her and she didn’t deserve his pure love.
Warm tears spilled out of my eyes, seeing him being so fragile and helpless. The tormented expression on his face, spurred a bitter feeling in me, and I found myself wishing I could do anything to help that expression disappear.
” Hey Eva, don’t cry baby girl…… I am sorry for everything…… I didn’t mean to scare you…… Your Vincent is here.”
He wiped my tears with his large warm palm, which almost covered my whole face. He pulled me closer to his body, I tried to take a step backward, but he placed his arm around my back, to keep me in place-keeping me too close to him.
Vincent’s hot breath fanned my face, making my skin hypersensitive of his nearness. He again angled his head to kiss me and panicked gripped my mind and urged to move away from him.
” No please-” I pushed him and suddenly I clamped my mouth in disbelief, as my voice escaped from my throat.
Vincent’s previously affectionate eyes widened as he heard me, rooting me to my spot. He took a step towards me, anger replacing surprise on his face.
” Jennie!??”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Shit!!!
Busted!!!!
Run from here Jenn otherwise he will kill you!!!!
I had no intention of staying a second longer here. I tired to bolt off, but Vincent pulled me back. Damn he is fast!
He grabbed my chin and made me look at him, his eyes nearly dark with fury.
” Jennie is that you?” He yanked my shoulders vigorously.
” I-I”
What the f*** are you doing here!?” He screamed at me and I flinched, hunching my shoulders.
” I…… I…… Emma told—” I stammered.
Vincent suddenly grabbed me by my hair, pulling me until only inches separated our faces. His movement took me completely by surprise, messing with my bad balance as my legs felt wobbly due to fear. I grasped his hand, yelping in pain.
” Vincent what…… what are you—”
” How dare you b*tch! You came pretending as her to me!?” He pushed me hard and I fell on the floor, and a glass on the floor cut my palm and it started bleeding.
” You b*tch! How could you even think of that……!?”
” I-I-am sorry.” I shuttered.
I backed away dragging myself away from him, wanting to separate myself from him as much as possible.
There was such hatred in his eyes that chilled me to the bone and made me feel like I was completely worthless. He looked dangerous, and for the first time ever, I was afraid that he would kill me.
A wave of nausea conquered me as the blood pounded in my ears. I was so stupid for even setting foot in his room. I believed I was screwed now. This was the end of my life.
