Twist begins!

6 month ago (30/04/2019)

(I had my flight at night, so, it’s good reachedmy destiny in the morning and get on already with my purpose.)

So, this is Romania, I have moved here to complete my education. In spite of education, why Romania? There is this revenge what got

me here! I might look innocent but I am not!Well! Yes, that’s what I can say! The intentions

are not good, they are Evil. Trying to stay calm where I was supposed to be violent! Well, you will be thinking what is with me? So, here you go!

Hey, I am Erica Raines and have just moved to Romania to complete my studies as an effective excuse of coming here. My childhood was not easy, lost my parents when I was 8 years-old.

Loved and raised by my Grandma. So, for fresh start, I am here! Choose to stay at Milton hotel. Completely, fascinated by the people here, they are kind and hospitality is just mind blowing. I am happy and excited to start my college days and live my life to the fullest. So, in order to start over, I decided to join Weinberg Allen College, Famous College of the city. So, Today is Sunny! It looks like great day to get started with the purpose of coming in here, in Romania.

After getting ready, I had my breakfast, locked door and went straight to Weinberg Allen College. When I reached there, Confused where to go? I decided to ask someone there. So I approached watchman. He guided me to the administration block, while I was walking towards the block; I looked around, boys playing football, Couples making out, Flowers bloomed to their best. Okay! Now, I reached destiny, went inside, straight to the person responsible for new admissions, he handed me admission form, I filled the form, and did necessary formalities, and there all done! I took out my phone and called granny to let her know I got the admission.

After having great conversation, I hung the phone. I opened my phone and searched on N-maps app, and went to see the place. At one of the villa, I stopped, looked around carefully. Before i could rationalize things, I heard door opening, so I hid myself quickly, there was a man standing next to the door, it was clear, he was waiting for someone. I peeked and looked at the face of the man. Hmmm! So, he is Louka Serguis (indisgusted tone).

I carefully took a picture without being caught. Later, he was accompanied by someone, so, I left suspiciously. I opened chatting app namely I-chat, clicked on the chat above all, sent the picture and waited for the reply.

Next working morning, I had my breakfast and reached college by time, excited to make new friends. I was warmly welcomed and some

students greeted me too in my classroom, everyone seemed nice and concerned except one.

He was sitting alone, gazing outside the window, he was probably lost in his own world I called him queer one, maybe I was being

judgmental, maybe he was an introvert, but what I felt was strange, I felt some close

connection with that boy, my heart skipped a beat and started beating at high pace.

(I am not sure what that was? Like I don’t know, I still have to figure that out myself first.)

So, I went to see where I can have seat. Yes!There she is sitting alone and reading some fantasy book as far as I could tell, let’s say hi!

I greeted the girl but she was lost in the book, I cleared throat, ahem! Hello!

Reality hit her, Hi, I’m sorry. I was lost, sit!

I sat and we introduced each other, she was Nour Lincoln and I never thought she will be come such a great friend. We were talking

when teacher entered the classroom.

Well! Obviously, he introduced himself, he was our operation research teacher named Aaron

Brown. He in a calming tone, well!!!! It’s a start of New Year of this college and I see new faces in the classroom, pointing towards me, please introduce yourself ?

I definitely got up, started my introduction with I am Erica Raines from New York and all. While I noticed the queer one looking at me like he knew me, I looked at him what I saw was unexpected, his eyes were full of tears about to pour down. I quickly changed my sight and sat down. In whole class, I was looking at him, he was tensed and I could tell he was in pain and was doing some calculations; something was not working out for him. After the OR class, he left. I didn’t saw him for the rest of the day..

After college, I and Nour decided to go shopping. We enjoyed each moment together then we were off to our homes. I opened the door when my phone rang, it was Uncle.

He (in an aggressive tone) said, yes! The picture you sent is his. You are at the right place, dear. Stay away for a while until we come up with some effective plan. Understood?

I said nothing else, but yes and he hung up the phone. Few days passed, Queer one was on leave, it was known that he was sick.

After few days, (One day was completely insane in college; I suppose you remember the queer one, right?)

I was with Nour and some other classmates when Jake joined us. (Queer one’s name was Jake Winslow.) He looked surprised to see me and he greeted me like it was the first time. Everyone told him, is he okay? Because he not only confused me but everyone there as he told everyone he was seeing me for the first time. He left confused. We considered maybe he was sick, he doesn’t remember. Day was normally spent.

Meanwhile, Uncle came up with the plan. So, I started planting my plan and get on with it as soon as possible. Days passed, Jake and I were getting close. So, this was not the intention of coming here, So, I halted the feelings right deep down in my heart. But he was Jake, until he gets what he wants he never stops.

He made me feel safe and heavens. He always took my side and stood by my side. He helped me with studying. He made my heart skip beats when he protected and cared for me. It was clear that I was falling for him as any girl in my shoe would have felt the same way.

Next Sunday, I was spying Louka Serguis to my best; I needed all the information about him, where he goes, who he meets, what jobs he was offering, so by any chance, I could enter his life and work my plan out. I was about to make my move when Jake called, He wanted to meet. I answered by saying I was

busy but what could have stopped me? I accepted my feelings, so did he! We were perfect couples. I went to see him, we made out in the rain till night. Later, I was scolded by my uncle as my relationship was coming between my missions. So, I told him in a serious way, I got it covered. I told him, it was my plan to be with him as he is the part of this plan.

Uncle in an angry voice, what? He knows? Are you out of your mind? It was supposed to be….

Before he could have said anything, I stopped him right there by saying before you say something else! Listen to me first! Jake is the

adopted son of Louka Serguis. What could be the best way of getting into Louka’s House and life except Jake himself ? So, I went to see him yesterday, to make it look real.

Uncle in real voice said, how do you know that? Well! The first day when I took the picture, I saw him right next to him when I left that place and I was surprised to see him as my batch mate. So, I came up with this plan. I otherwise did collect necessary information required!“ So? You decided to be in relationship with murderer’s son? How does it make any of this right? See! We could have done it in any way but not this! Now! When you have done it? So, be done with everything of this and finish your purpose.

I in an agreed tone, Yes! Now, it’s a piece of cake, covered too and I got it, no need to worry, I also want what you want, but I need your trust.

Uncle in calm way said, I trust you, dear! But I didn’t know your plan so that’s why I was angry. Now! Get on with this. You know, we can’t talk hours, so, send me the required information. Be careful dear, Granny told me to tell you that she misses you and bye!

Yeah! Uncle, I will. You too take care and I miss everyone. See you, Bye! I hung up the phone and sent information to my uncle through I-chat.

Next day, Jake wanted to introduce me to his father. Well! That worked out perfect for me as that’s what i wanted from very begin-ning of this relationship. His father is a businessman who owns villa, luxurious cars and had fame. So, it was clear, revenge will not be easy to carryout.

Now, I was getting ready for meet up when doorbell rang, it was Jake. He kissed me and we were both off to his villa. Outside door, he held my hand and asked if I was ready and I answered with, it was the moment I waited all these days! Gladly he said, Okay?! and kissed softly.

We entered the villa and went to see his father upstairs. We reached his father’s room, he was probably busy. Jake told me to stay outside the room. To which I agreed. He went inside and had a little chit-chat with his father. While I was trying to peek inside and as far as I could tell, there were two bodyguards right next to the door. I wandered a little and Jake called for me.

I entered the room with a smile. So, his father greeted me with loving tone, and said so, you are the girl? I stood there without saying a word as I slightly looked at Jake. Jake knew I was nervous, so he answered in my place. Louka gave a little satisfying laugh and told me to relax! He said, let’s have dinner. I am hungry. To which Jake and I agreed.

While having dinner, Louka told us his marriage days and love story. To which I was surprisingly listening but deep down, I just

wanted to grab the knife in fruit basket and slit his throat. The anger inside reached its maximum bearing point when he begin to talk about how he earned all the royalty and then it became hard for me to fake a smile, laugh,

agreeing upon and everything.

But I couldn’t help any of it, I had to sit there! I looked around and rationalized few things. He asked me about my parents, I answered in sadness yet revenge tone, I lost them when I was a kid. He looked at me suspiciously. After all what he has done, he must be suspicious to know more and more, he knows he can be busted. We had dinner, and after little more time I decided to say goodbye. Jake decided to drop me, on our way back, we talked, laughed on silly things. I asked him, did his father like me? To which he looked at me with his killing cute eyes and smile and then said, of course, he did!

(By the time, we reached the house, the moments I spent felt real and I wanted to live in that moment forever.)

We reached my home, when he came close and made my night by saying, I love you. To which I subconsciously answered with I love you too. We shared a moment.

(I know if I wouldn’t have said, it’s getting late, I should go now! that moment should have remained till dawn.)

I got out of the car and started walking towards the door when he hurriedly got out of car and called for me, Erica? Wait! I stopped. He came close and kissed me deeply. I stepped back quickly. He looked surprised and begins to apologize.

(Deep inside me, it was clear I was really falling for him as I thought it was all about revenge. I shook my hand, and bend, have in the palm of hand and open my palm trying to think what to do?)

I raised my feet to reach his lips and kissed him.

He grabbed my bag and was trying to search for something? I showed him my palm in which the keys of my house where hanging in the index finger.

I in a naughty tone! Searching for this? To which he picked me up and He opened the door then it was the night of roses, love and romance.

After few hours of sharing emotions, feelings and desires, I with half eyes open looked at the

clock, it was late. I got up, and picked him up hurriedly, it’s getting late, sorry! You can’t stay here at night. So, you should leave.

Jake moans and said I want to stay! To which I definitely shoot him with serious look and he just got up and left the room. I followed him to the door, we kissed gently and he left. Now, had a little time to myself, I tried to rationalize

what I just did and thinking if I was supposed to do what I did? But nothing, all I remember was the moments we shared in the room. I went to the bathroom, washed my make-up off and went to bed while remembering. And, then decided to talk to my granny about what happened today, to get advice what to do next? But I already planned that if she says anything against it, I wasn’t going to agree. I knew I had to fight for this relationship. Granny said something that was unexpected,

she didn’t really judge me for my decision not because she loved me but it was my choice as she justified. She always supported me even in my childhood, she used to go against her own son for her grand-daughter. But she also declared that she would love to see Louka bearing for his crimes. To which I completely agreed.

Next day at college, Nour was happy when I told her about my relationship and yeah added that she keeps it a secret. Jake was playing football in the court, I sat there watching him with Nour and we talked.

After the college, I and Jake reached my house,when I opened the door, my eyes were left wide open to see such a mess in the living room, things scattered around every corner of house.

It looked like it was an unprofessional theft but to which Jake corrected me, nothing precious/valuabe was stolen, not even gold, jewels, nothing. Jake called Cops, They investigated.

When everyone left, I rushed to my room, moved the book shelf and opened the locker, and everything was clear now, my whole research on Louka was missing. So, I assumed someone knew who I really was and what my missions were! I hurriedly called my uncle, he suggested remaining calm and he would join me next day in the evening as it is becoming dangerous for me. He even scolded me and said it was my fault that I let Jake enter the house, the son of Louka.

I started receiving threats mails and message saying that I should break-up with Jake and stop whatever I was up to. I couldn’t involve cops into any of this. I kept it even from Jake. And I was sure it was Louka.

(How hard it was for me to stay in this relationship, the more hard his father made for Jake. It was obvious Louka would have recognized me in the first place but maybe

because of his son he kept quiet and said nothing and played along that meet-up night.)

Jake came to my hotel, and said in sad tone, "My father is not ready to accept this relationship. He is forcing me to break-up with you."Then he added" I will not let him to ruin my relationship. He has no right to order or force me to break-up and do what he says, No! That can’t happen. I can’t live without you, I want to grow old with you, have family, kids and everything with you by my side.

I came close to him and comforted him and told him to calm down. It was our decision to make. I want that also whatever you want, Jake.

Whatever a father says, he says out of love and protective behavior and that decision is always right. If this love isn’t meant to be completed then we should back-off.

(That could have ruined my revenge purpose, but now I was done hurting him. I couldn’t hurt

him as I was now really in love with him and after all what he said, I couldn’t think right.)

He softly put his hands on my cheeks and said in loving tone, how can you say that? You already give up. Is this how much you love me? No! I know and feel how much you love me and you are saying all this just because you are afraid and want me to indulge in my Father’s decisions as you say fathers are always right. They might be right, but in love nothing is right except the love and relationship itself. See?

I don’t know anything, but what I do know is I need you always and forever. So, if you stop denying our destiny of being together, can I ask you for prom? Dance Ball!

My mouth drop open to hear whatever he saidand was so soothing to the ears and my heart pumped fast. I couldn’t help but fall in love more as my eyes poured down the tears. He bends a little to reach me and then he kissed me and we made out. Then panting, I said in an excited way, yes! I will join you to prom, my gentle-man.

Jake jumped in happiness. After some time, he had to go. He left saying, so my lady, I will come around 7’O clock.

At night, he was going to pick me up for prom,the door bell rang; I checked the time, it was 6:30 p.m. I chuckled little to see how curious he was. I opened the door while doing some loving moves as I thought it must be Jake but no!

There was some guy wearing mask who entered within a blink of my eye, pushed me back and locked the door. Before I could call for help, hepointed gun towards me and said, I need silence and only answers from you! He draws the curtains to prevent someone to look inside.

I asked him, what he wanted; He sat right before me, looked right into my eyes and asked, So, Who are you? And how do you know Louka? To which I in not scared voice answered, so, who are you exactly, I assume you are the guy who stole my research and you are the one who send me threat mails?

He angrily said I am the one to ask questions here, not you! So, if you don’t wanna get hurt, answer and I will leave. I answered, Hmmm,

Interesting! You think, I will answer you? Then I have never seen such a stupid person like you whole my life! While I stressed word “LIFE” Ha! So, you wouldn’t let me go easy on you? Fine!

He got up. Got hold of me, choked me and threatened me again.

Well! Obviously, I wasn’t on this mission without preparation for such situations. I hit his ball as hard as I could! He let go off my ne ckand kept his hand there were I hit him. I rushed to kitchen and picked up round stick and went back to him. I kicked him, he fell on the ground. I attacked him from behind. Put the stick over his neck and choked him and asked questions like who he was working for? Who sent him hereto investigate me? To which he answered, like! I will tell you.

Fine! I said. When the door bell rang! I again looked at the clock hanging on the wall; it was

6:55 p.m.

Hell! It must be Jake. I tried to think what should I do? I shouted Coming! Man said, so

what now? Ha-ha! You are doomed! Either you can let me go or let Jake know!

I decided to let him go! I pulled him to the back door and threw him out, told him that I have

a little message for whosoever you are working for or maybe I can say, Louka, tell him that your death is near, you are going to regret everything you did, tell him to stay away from Jake and his decisions and next time, please sent someone competent and I let him go!

The man looked at me with anger. It was clear, if for him, he would have killed me right there.

So, I with confidence closed the door on his face.I hurriedly rushed to open the door, it was Jake.

Hey! What took you so long to open the door? I in a stammer tone, Oh! I wa-s in th-e ba-throom that’s why!

As far as I could tell, he did believe me. He suggested that I should change as I was in pajamas. I went upstairs to change while he waited on the dining table.

After few minutes, Door bell again rang! I was accepting anyone. By the time I would have reached the door, Jake already was holding door knob to open the door.

I in suspicious way of speaking told Jake, let me see! He agreed with weird look. I opened half door and it was my uncle but his presence here was supposed to be hidden when everything was exposed about me. Couldn’t risk! I told him to stay in hotel, will come there to see you.

He handed me package and left.

Jake asked me who was at the door. I replied with, it was supposed to be a surprise! It’s my package that I ordered. Now, I want you to close your eyes. To which he agreed. I went upstairs. I was ready now, Jake gazed me for a while.

He compliment me and we were off to prom where Nour and her new boyfriend, Sid joined us. We enjoyed a lot, Jake asked me for dance. We danced together on soft humming song. My phone ticked, it was a message from uncle. He wanted to meet me to plan next and he sent me the hotel name where he was staying. As an excuse, I told Jake I was leaving as I wasn’t feeling well! He whispered that he can come to drop me but I denied by saying I don’t want to ruin your night, I’ll be fine by myself. He unwillingly agreed and I left.

After walking for a while, I stopped cab and went to see my uncle. I reached the hotel named Hotel Check Inn. I knocked at the door, uncle opened up, I went inside. I hugged him. I told him everything that happened and we planned our next move. It took us an hour to decide effectively, when we were done, I was ready to do whatever it took.

I was walking towards my house when I saw someone sitting on the stairs of my house, it was dark, I couldn’t tell from that far who was there!

So, I decided go a little further and by tilting my head a little to see who he was, He was Jake.

I shockingly started to come up with an excuse where I was? When he said, Erica? From past days, I think you are hiding something from me? Is it about my father? Did he do something?

He can do anything to let his decisions workout? Or is it about some guy? Are you dating someone else? I want answers? You are fooling me around? I thought we were more than this! But no! I was wrong. I love you and you are keeping secrets from me! You know, I never denied how and what I feel for you!

I tried to stop him, he told me to stay silent and let him talk. But I told him he was assuming everything that was completely wrong but he wouldn’t listen! So, only way to stop him was:

I ran to him and held his neck bend it and kissed for a minute and then slowly backing off I told him to first listen to me and let me give my explanation then he was free to decide but before that he can’t decide by only considering his part of the story.

(In that moment, I just wanted to tell him everything but couldn’t risk that.)

So, I told him that my uncle is here and I went to see him. Later at home, it was my uncle when I told you to let me see who was at the door.

Now, before you ask any questions, let me clear that my uncle needs to stay hidden and why so? He has his own personal reasons. Now, you can speak!

Jake in confused voice, Okay! I trust you. I am sorry; I thought you were cheating on me! I couldn’t help but scold you.

I in a satisfied voice, well! That shows and proves that you do love me and you are afraid to see me go! And you don’t need to apologize! I should have told you before.

He held my hand, No! I should have under- stood your consequences or reasons. You have some rights of your own.
