Hello everyone! I've been away for awhile but I'm getting back at it again like before. Looks like I found my writing groove again :)
Sidenote; I FINALLY wrote Zahra's name right. I'm trying to do better with in depth in my writing. Anyway, enough rambling Enjoy!
...
"You're being awfully quiet right now, kitten."
Seth murmured in Taryn's ear, his fingers stroking her brown curls as they laid next to each other in his hotel room, as they were traveling nonstop. He was holding her wrists, kissing them softly. The red marks fading when they had their kinky play of her being tied up. When Seth took great care as to not hurt her, dominating in his control over her body and pleasure, getting lost in each other.
He had tied her up earlier with rope he had packed in his suitcase, as he stripped her down, teasing her as he ate her pussy and played with her most sensual spots to where she gushed all over his face, screaming his name as she was trapped in his ropes, dominating her as his tongue would dance and stroke on his sweetness, fingering her until she came 4 time and she had to count how many orgasms she had. That made her blush as she was exposed to him that way and yet she was addicted and wanted more.
Even though they've had sex on more than one occasion when they weren't too busy with the WWE and their outside projects, she somewhat avoided his touch as she believed she didn't deserve his sweet nature and the way he made her feel. She was just a plaything to him, as far as she was concerned.
She was in her bra top and matching lace boy shorts as Seth ordered room service for them to eat, especially for her.
Taryn chewed her bottom lip, her mind whirling with thoughts. Even with Seth holding her, kissing her shoulder as they were cuddling together. Seth had mentioned she was quiet but it was much more of the pressure she was under, keeping this pregnancy secret from Seth in fear of her and rejection, as well as still harboring the secret of what she did when was 16. When she became a psychotic vicious monster going after revenge against those who hurt her.
Then she found Alex's watch bloodied up in her purse as she was trying to figure out what happened and why it was there in the first place. She remembered her hallucination when that strange girl, who looked so much like her, was like a dark angel. She had a flashback of her exact words.
"I'll be back to help you...we will take care of them like we took care of..." Her soft voice spoke through Taryn's head.
Aside from that hallucination, she's also had headaches lately and her appointment was tomorrow while Seth was still going on the road. He was suspicious but she was able to keep it under wraps for now, saying it was just her weight. As well as wearing baggy clothes around him and often avoiding sex, even though he never begged her. However, it was a red flag that neither of them could ignore for long.
Seth could feel Taryn trembling as he pulled her closer to him, his warm body next to hers could melt all her problematic thinking away just like that.
At least for a few seconds before her head fucked with her again. Such as Seth leaving her, turning his back on her. Him betraying her trust or worse, that Seth would go back to Zahra and she would be stuck with the devil, Stefan himself. Taryn knew that she didn't tell Seth the whole entire story of her marriage to Stefan. She believed in her mind, she was protecting him.
It would be so easy to divorce him. They didn't have kids together. So what was the hardest part of this? Besides being blackmailed and being threatened to have everything taken away from her?
It was because that Stefan pulled the strings and she followed suit, like the puppet that she was to him; If she tried to divorce him, no matter what he did to her; Her secret would be leaked out to the public, he would legally put her into the insane asylum with no contacts from her family and friends and he would also have control over her charities that she worked so hard for as they went into business together. She knew she should have never trusted him too quickly and that she made a grave mistake sharing the idea with him in the first place, going into business together and signing that stupid fucking contract.
She would lose everything and she couldn't go into the insane asylum. She heard horrific things that they did and he would not let her have her freedom and could arrange for her to go even more insane staying there if he could. He's done torturous things to her; Reminding her of the death of her baby, insulting her weight, flirting with other women, locking her in the basement for weeks with barely any food and yet would spill the "I love yous, I'm doing what's best, you are a danger to yourself and society. You must know your place."
Oh, they were already programmed into her brain that she would just follow suit, as she knew this was hell. But she still thought of when he got her to the hospital after almost bleeding to death. He saved her that time, and now she had a debt to him. She loved him. She kept saying that over and over, to convince herself.
Her heart however, was not buying the bullshit her mouth was selling off.
In that moment, Taryn was pulled into Seth's lap as they both sat up, with Seth looking into Taryn's eyes. She was trying to hide from him emotionally and he couldn't allow that.
He told himself he wasn't going to pressure Taryn into talking to him but he was worried. Something was bothering her and he couldn't let this kind of stress get to her, no matter what it was. He found himself more and more protective over her, even though she was still legally married.
That one he had a big problem with most of all. That manipulative rotten son of a bitch didn't deserve someone as worthy as Taryn. Taryn was beautiful, intelligent, fierce, and everything he's ever wanted and needed. He was addicted to her and everything about her. Her past didn't change the way he felt about her no matter how horrible it was. He understood her. It didn't make what she did right, but he was in no position to judge.
He had done some twisted shit just to be at the top of the WWE. He betrayed his brothers just so he could be at the top. Granted, it was scripted but there was still tension between the two as well as mistakes in his past. Before he met Taryn, he's ran around on girls and lied to Zahra few times about it as she had done the same to him. It may have seem to be a great relationship to the public but it was toxic, with both of them cheating on each other and fighting constantly to the point where they've slept in separate bedrooms and would be glad when one had to go away to take care of business in regards to the WWE. Even when they use to go out together, they would wind up fighting in public, in front of his family, especially when she was drunk she embarrassed his family and friends of his hometown.
When he fought with Taryn, granted they hated each other but he then realized it was just child's play and he was actually attracted to her. He fought like hell and deny it for a long time without losing any kind of control. It started to make sense that Zahra was really a placeholder for his true feelings for Taryn. He kept telling himself he hated her and did stupid shit to get under her skin. To piss her off.
It was different when they argued and fought. There was a fire in Taryn's eyes, that spark between them and everyone around them saw it. Zahra believed Seth wanted Taryn but he kept lying to her and himself about it and would even throw himself into sex with her just to get his mind and thoughts of Taryn out of him. He fought against the lustful thinking of wanting to kiss her every time they argued and tried to make it work with Zahra.
But the feelings weren't the same. Not the way with how he felt about Taryn in his heart. He knew he was wrong and fucked up to use Zahra that way, especially to try to replace Taryn in his head. It was straight up stupid as he should have been honest with himself from day one but he knew what's done is done.
And now that he had Taryn, he was not going to let her go anytime soon. He would do anything for her and she wouldn't have to ask him.
Between what Stefan and Alex put her through, he had dark vicious thoughts in his mind wanting to kill them in cold blood. He almost killed Alex himself. When he remembered having Alex kidnapped, he wanted to grab Dean's pipe and bash his head in repeatedly or smash his head in through blocks of cement.
He was glad his brothers were with him to keep from killing him. That the point of their previous plan was to keep Taryn safe and to keep that rapist away from her so she would never have to be afraid anymore.
Right now, what was more important was that he had to talk to Taryn about her situation. They didn't know what their future would be, considering that they didn't talk about it, skidding around what was really going on. He wanted to know what Taryn was thinking, while hiding what he was truly thinking himself.
"It seems you are thinking yourself.." Taryn noticed as her small hand would touch his cheek, her thumb rubbing up against his facial hair, staring in his brown eyes. His brown eyes were filled with life and light to her darkness.
"I'm just wondering about you. I know you've been distance lately and I would love to know why, kitten. You never have to be shy or nervous around me, you know that right?" He touched her hand that was on his cheek as he kissed it, while his other hand caressed her lower back, looking at the way her messy brown hair was down her shoulders, the swell of her breasts perfect in that pink laced bralette top.
She nodded her head yes, as Taryn would hold in her breath while Seth's hand would idly touch her side, brushing past her stomach. She almost tensed as he brushed his fingers gently across her stomach, as she could have sworn the hardness of her belly would be noticeable.
But he didn't notice it.
"It's just everything.." She said casually, while also in her head, the dangerous voice of insecurity kicked in. "Minus the fact that its just really sex for him. He doesn't really love you, you know. Caring for someone is different than being in love. He only cares more about his career. He could never love a damaged psychopath like you. You know he would much prefer a sane, normal girl. Someone who has never been raped and broken. You are just something to get out of his system. Once he knows about the baby, he will deny you and everything right then and there. The Authority will convince him that her and their unborn baby would only drag him down from the top of his career. He will even think you trapped him in the pregnancy, which is far from true."
The worst part; If her closest friends, but most importantly, if Ariel and her Grandmother who she loved most of all found out about her horrible secret, Ariel would never respect her ever again. She would hate her forever. She looked up to Ariel and they were the best of friends and had each others backs. If Ariel found out Taryn had a now dead child who was forced from incestuous sex, not only would Ariel be disgusted with her but would hate her. She couldn't imagine losing the respect of her Grandma and the one sister who believed in her. Who trained her to become a WWE women's wrestler. Who she had incredible feuds with and against and their matches, whether against or together were incredible.
That's why it was so important to keep this secret at all costs, even having to stay married to the monster that was Stefan, no matter how much he tormented her with the secret.
Right now, Seth wanted her undivided attention and she looked at him, making eye contact. He was really the only one who could bring her out of her dangerous mindset as she felt like everything was spinning out of control for her and she didn't know how to make it stop.
Only Seth could. He was her lifeline that could pull her back whenever she was on the tipping point of a breakdown.
"Taryn, talk to me. Now." He said softly but in a stern manner, his hand on the back of her throat, lightly squeezing and rubbing it but not to where it would ever hurt her. She trusted Seth.
"I just feel like I honestly don't deserve happiness." She said sadly but truthfully.
"What is making you say that, kitten?" He stared at her, her hazel eyes blinking back at him.
"I don't know. Aside from what Alex has done to me, and the fact that I turned into a complete psychopath who hurt others, even though they hurt me? I stooped to their level and I couldn't stop myself. I don't even understand why you even want to protect a crazy lunatic like me."
She swallowed hard, keeping the tears in and Seth looked at her, the shock registering on his sexy face.
Which suddenly turned to anger, but not at her, but the words she said.
"I never want to hear you call yourself that again." He growled as he held her face in both his hands, pulling her close to him as she hitched a breath. "You are NOT a crazy lunatic. Kitten, what happened to you was not your fault. You weren't in your right mind and you were sick. It's nothing to be ashamed of and you need to stop feeling that way. You were sick and tired of being a victim and you fought back. Alex and everyone else deserved what was coming to them."
Taryn scoffed bitterly, shaking her head in disbelief. "How can you even say that? Yes I mean...they did put me through hell and I almost died at the hands of Alex. But I went too far, Seth. I lost all touch with reality and wasn't myself. I could have stopped it and yet it felt like I was watching myself do these twisted things."
"That's why you've been going to therapy. That's why I'm here with you, whenever you are ready to tell your family the truth. I admire everything about you, Kitten." He kissed her softly "Even your dark side."
"...You mean that?" Her voice, surprised, his hands now rubbing up and down her back, his fingers dancing across her soft skin and the lace covering it.
"We all have a dark side to us, kitten." He kissed her hand. "Because I have one myself. I've shared and talked to you about things I have honestly never shared with any other woman. You are my light, Taryn."
"Seth, you don't have a dark side." She shook her head, not believing that. Seth may be an asshole sometimes but he's mostly been her light to her darkness.
Seth chuckled, a bit darkly. "Trust me beautiful; I am just as dark and twisted as anybody else. I have done things in the WWE, including stabbing my brothers in my back and thinking of myself, even playing dirty just to get what I want. At one point, I'm willing to sell my soul to the devil himself just to get what I want, hell be damned, whether in business or in my personal life. Somethings I'm not proud of and yet its what I often have to do to get it."
Taryn was honestly and genuinely surprised by Seth revealing that raw part of him. She was even more shocked that Seth in his own way, needed her. That he was her light. No one has ever said that to her. She was so blinded by her hatred of Seth, she never saw this side to him and how he took great care of her, even though she could take care of herself.
Could he really be...
No...no that's not possible. Not even close. No matter what he says and no matter how much she trusted him, he might turn into Stefan one day. Later down the road. Stefan started off so sweet, kind, reassuring and understanding in the beginning.
And looked how it all turned straight to a living hell.
"You deserve to be happy, beautiful. And it starts with leaving that son of a bitch." He stated to her as Taryn swallowed, knowing he was going to bring him up.
"I know but...I can't. If I do, he'll-"
"Whatever he tries to do, I'll protect you." He reassured her. "I don't care what I have to do. I can't lose you, Taryn."
"I can't lose you either." She welcomed his embrace, his arms around her. "You mean so much to me Seth. I'm just afraid. He will try to hurt me by any means necessary. I know he's put me in the hospital before."
"What..." Seth said, dangerously quiet, which Taryn could feel it. She knew he wanted to kill Stefan and break every bone in his body. But she also didn't want Seth going to prison and her life being destroyed at Stefan's hands.
"I..I have a feeling he was behind putting something in my water bottle that night. But I can't prove it. My gut is telling me it was him. Out to punish me for God knows why but I made it." She looked at him, a small smile on her face. "Because you saved my life, when you didn't have too. You gave up a possible victory in our intense brutal match, just to be with me at the hospital."
"If you heard me a second ago kitten, I don't wanna lose you." He raised his brow, wanting her to get the message through that stubborn head of hers. "Seeing you in that hospital...laid up..that blood.."
That image would forever haunt his mind.
"Don't." She shook her head, touching him to bring him out of that dark memory. "Let's not think about Stefan please. At least not right now. I can't handle it and God knows I don't want to talk about him in general."
"Ok kitten, We'll leave it alone...for now." He warned her, knowing that they had to talk about this but he wanted her to enjoy herself and the time they had before they had to head back on the road very soon due to their demanding schedule so they had to make most of the time they had together.
"Are you hungry.." He kissed her neck, her cheek and her lips softly. "I promised to feed you earlier."
"Oh yes. So So Hungry." She admitted, knowing that she had to eat for the baby.
Taryn was still reeling from the fact she was gonna be an expecting mother, even though she didn't have a plan yet. Naomi kept encouraging to tell him. Just fucking tell him. He would be an amazing father. She knew that.
The problem was she was so sure he didn't love her. They never even discussed having children and for this connection between them to even happen. Hell, she was so sure she couldn't even get pregnant anyway.
She looked to see that Seth went over to where the food was and her mouth almost watered, smelling the Chinese food as he made her plate as well as getting chopsticks for them. Except he only grabbed one set of chopsticks.
He then had dessert for her, chocolate lava cake.
He went over to her and sat with her, as she saw he had beef and broccoli, shrimp fried rice, General tsos chicken, Lo Mein noodles and four eggrolls with two fortune cookies, on a big tray.
"Don't you have to eat too?" Confused by the fact that he only had one set.
"I will but first, I'm gonna make sure my sweet kitten eats first, and I'll be feeding you. Just like you did for me our first morning together. Will you let me do that?" He grinned at her as Taryn blushed, being taken care of.
"Very pretty blush." He complimented. Between calling her kitten, no longer troll and taking care of her the way he was now, she couldn't help but be in awe.
"Sure." She returned his smile, as he was in his sweatpants, shirtless his physique perfect to her.
He worked the chopsticks as he fed her the piece of chicken, as she opened her mouth, chewing on it as she smiled. He continued to feed her as he watched her, their smiling at each other as Taryn took each bite that Seth was feeding her, loving this cute moment. She felt so special with Seth and cherished.
He then fed her the cake, the way she licked her lips of the chocolate was making his dick stir in his sweatpants but Seth ignored it, even though Taryn could obviously see it.
"See something that you want, kitten?" He smirked, continuing to feed her.
"Maybe...although I'm pretty sure you were probably thinking about some busty model." She joked even though Seth rolled his eyes.
"I don't care for other women. The only woman who could ever make my dick hard is you, especially when I taste you." His voice getting husky, staring at her wide brown eyes.
She secretly loved his crass words, the way he would talk so dirty and boldly to her would have her mind going into that naughty dirty dark place.
So kinky and dark to yet she wanted more of him. She actually embraced his control; His dominating role and possessiveness when they were in that moment together. She could be drunk on the lust he gave her and she wouldn't give a damn about anything else, especially not Stefan.
She focused as Seth continued to feed her until she got full. Then after they ate, Seth was ready to pull Taryn close and hold her until it was time for them to get up.
"Why don't I put you to sleep this time?" Taryn grinned wickedly as she stroked his cock, her hand going into his sweatpants as he moaned.
"Oh fuck, are you sure?" He gritted his teeth, feeling his dick harden through the way she was stroking it up and down, the way she licked her lips at it.
"I'm more than sure. You are going to need something to think about once you get back on the road, especially with you being the future of WWE" She added to his ego as her tongue flicked over the head of his cock, before taking more of him into her mouth.
Seth grunted and moaned, letting her take control this time. But after this, he was going to spank her ass bright red for this, knowing she's been wanting to do that for a minute.
They were addicted to each other in more ways than one. They couldn't skate over the issues time and time again like they had before, but at least right now they could be with each other.
It was the calm before the storm would hit.
Ariel was downright miserable and has been for the past few weeks. Right now, it was the weekend and she was with Naomi, AJ Lee, Taryn and Sasha Banks. This charity was for young preteens who wanted to do more with their life besides drugs and selling themselves. They wanted to help get them into the arts and for something positive to do. The few of them were pregnant and some already mothers. Some were young men who wanted to turn their life around and give back into channeling something besides their anger and jail. They had many arts and creative groups for them such as ballet, painting, building, karate. There was also counseling and helping them to get their education for those who dropped out.
It was a great program for the youth and while she wasn't wrestling at the moment, she put all her time into her projects. Stephanie approved of her time off and next Monday Night Raw she scheduled it to be the last night she appeared ringside with Seth. She knew Seth and everyone would find out about her last night and there was no denying it, but she had to do what was best for herself and for the baby.
A young girl named Gabriella came up to her, a sweet 15 year old girl who had a single mom and now she was a young single mom, who had her baby.
She smiled at Taryn and Ariel, the ones who truly helped her as she came in with her stroller, the cute precious baby girl gurgling with her sweet smile.
"Hi Ms. Taryn. Hi Ariel." Gabriella smiled at the two of them. "I wanted to visit before I had to go home. This is my daughter, Briana"
They all smiled, seeing the precious baby, especially Taryn, seeing the dimples that formed on the sweet princess.
"She's beautiful, just like her mama." She stated.
"Would you like to hold her? I normally don't allow anybody to hold her but you two have been there for me since Day one." She beamed proudly, grateful for all those two have done for her. "And I know I've brought her here before but I couldn't stay long during those times."
"Are you sure?" Ariel asked as Gabriella nodded, trusting them.
"I'm very sure I promise." She picked up the little girl, who was cooing.
She went over to Taryn first as Taryn held her carefully, wrapping the blanket around as she sat down, smiling at Taryn who smiled at her right back.
"Hi there precious angel...how are you? You are just so beautiful." She whispered to the baby who smiled at her as Taryn gently tickled her. Thoughts of being a new mommy made Taryn smile, but at the same time this started to trigger a dark memory of what happened...the loss of her baby.
She never even taken a moment to grieve, blocking it out of her mind. And yet this sweet baby was bringing back the good and bad.
Keeping her emotions in check and not wanting her sister to detect something was off, she gave her a weak smile as she passed Briana to Ariel, who was happy to hold her.
"I'll be back.." She said quietly as she quickly left, ignoring the confusion on their faces from her hasty escape. "I have to go get some water."
As she was alone, Taryn took a few deep breaths, gulping down whatever air she could grab. Why was she so weak-minded?
Maybe because the fact that the sweet baby alone, brought back haunting memories, including the baby blanket that she carries with her every time. She had washed it clean by the dry cleaners but she always held onto it in private, memories of her unborn child that she carried in her before that nightmare happened. She wished she never went through that ordeal and that she could have gone through the pregnancy and could have given him/her up for adoption. She would have loved the baby, in spite of the situation but she would never let that sick sperm donor of her father go near her.
He was still in the ICU, burned badly, and unable to talk. She almost had an eerie smile, thinking of the way she practically burned him alive.
"No, get the fuck outta there! No." She shook her head, troubled by her way of thinking. She went into her purse as she pulled out her phone, dialing the number to someone she could trust. Someone that was in their family for quite some time.
She decided to get a new therapist, with permission from Stephanie in private, as she didn't feel quiet comfortable, especially since she wouldn't take her eyes off Seth, even though Seth would have his focus on Taryn.
But she knew she had to speak to someone who could actually help her for real. Something was wrong with Taryn. She could feel it and she had to get the right help.
She called up their family therapist, Dr. Emily Rose.
The phone rang a few times as she finally picked up.
"Dr. Rose. It's me Taryn. Remember when you said if me and my sisters needed anything after our mother passed..." She swallowed hard, knowing its been awhile.
"Of course and I still hold by that." Her warm and caring voice making Taryn at ease.
"I know I'm suppose to schedule you in advance but I need to see you. How late are you?" She asked.
"I'll be here until 5:30 today." She looked at her scheduled, seeing as she had already met with her patients this morning so she had an opening today.
"Good. I'll see you then. It's...It's really important and I need your help...please." She begged, her voice strained.
"I'll be here. Promise." She assured her before they ended the call.
Just in time too as Ariel came over to her.
"Hey, you were gone for awhile. What's going on? Please don't tell me its that piece of shit, Stefan."
"No, No it's not." She shook her head quickly. "Just another appointment with therapy." She said, not actually revealing what was really going on.
Taryn frowned, seeing Ariel's state. She wasn't stupid. She knew her sister have been miserable without Roman.
"Honey, have you talked to Roman lately?" She hugged her, wanting to make sure she was ok, even though things between them were broken right now.
"I just miss him so. He didn't even bother to call me." She huffed, trying to keep herself from crying. "It's all my fault. It's like these outbursts won't stop, no matter how much of this fucking medicine I take." She pulled it out as Taryn looked at it carefully. Something was off about this medication, she had a feeling. Ariel had outbursts due to her disorder but they were never every second and over every little thing.
Something was off and it had something to do with this medicine.
"Is this generic? This don't even seem like the right kind of brand." She looked at it carefully as Ariel wasn't sure, given as how she's always taken it with no problem.
"I think the problem is just me..." She scoffed bitterly.
"Now shut the hell up with that." She argued "You know you are incredible and Roman is stupid as hell for not calling you. I'm about to give my own damn version of a Samoan punch to that face of his."
"No!" Ariel warned her. "I'll handle it but no violence please."
Taryn rolled her eyes but decided to back off. For now.
"As for this medication, you should really get it checked out or I can find out for you."
"You sure it might be the pills?" She asked, unsure herself.
"I know this; I may not be a doctor but I know my sister and I know my sisters behavior and when she's acting unusual, I know something is wrong." Taryn said fiercely.
Ariel wiped her eyes as Taryn gave her another hug. "It's gonna be ok honey. It will be ok."
Ariel knew she was the big sister of Taryn but since Kristen was cut out of their lives for her betrayal and she felt alone, it was good that her baby sister reached out to her.
But with the events happening and their changing schedules between RAW/Smackdown, interviews, charity events, and the busy whirlwind of WWE, she didn't quite check on Taryn as much as she told herself she was. And with what Naomi had told her, she was going to get some answers from her sister.
"Tell me what's been going on with you." They sat down together.
"Wh-What do you mean?" She asked, nervously. "I-I told you I'm alright."
"Naomi told me what happened."
"What?" Her anger flared up, her fists balled up. How could Naomi betray her like that? To reveal her pregnancy to her sister when she wasn't ready yet? What the fuck?
"About the note in your locker. That horrible message they left." She said, the disgust in her voice and anger to whoever left that message, bullying her sister.
Taryn's ire went down, realizing that Naomi didn't betray her and relieved too. But at the same time, she knew because of that little slip that Ariel was going to be tearing that locker room apart and find whoever did that and beat the fuck out of them within an inch of their life.
"Ariel, it's ok."
"No its not." She stood up, pacing the floor in her blue wedges. "This is not fucking high school and this isn't funny. It's sick and fucked up and you don't deserve it. Whoever got a fucking problem with you, they got a problem with me. I'm willing to crack some heads until we get to the bottom as to whoever did it."
"Ariel just stop it. Look, I can handle my problems I can handle my own battles, I'm not crazy ok?" She lashed out in a weird little girl voice at Ariel, shocking her and herself. She's never lashed out at Ariel. Yeah they've had their arguments but not how Taryn did it.
She blinked as she stared at Ariel funny. "Why are you looking at me like that? I mean that wasn't me. I mean that was me but..I gotta go. I am so sorry Ariel." She hugged her quickly before Ariel had a chance to react.
"Taryn, hold on. Taryn wait a minute.." She rushed after her, wanting to know what the hell was that about and that Taryn acted so strangely. Before she could head off to follow her outside, Ariel then got a text message from Roman himself.
"Meet me at the Hilton Garden Inn in 5 minutes. Room 204. I need to talk to you. It's a surprise. I love you."
-Roman
Ariel would catch up with Taryn when they were going on RAW Monday Night the next few days and she missed fighting with her man and wanted to make things right.
She hugged and kissed the girls goodbye as she reassured them that everything was fine, even though Ariel knew in her gut something was wrong with her little sister and she was going to get to the bottom of it and would find whoever was fucking with her baby sister and rip them a new asshole and then some.
Right now, she went to go see the love of her life.
Maria then set Roman's phone down as she smiled at him as he brought back two bottles of water.
"Thanks for coming over." She smiled at Roman, looking innocent and acting concerned. She was surprised that Roman had called wanting to meet up with her.
"Yeah I needed to talk to you about something important. It's about Ariel." He sipped his water as he set it down.
"Oh Roman I know you guys have had your issues but maybe this space is a good thing." She said, being sickeningly sweet.
"Yeah but I-"
"Just a minute. I have a surprise for you too." She smiled as she got up, winking at him as he looked at her strangely.
Roman then picked up his phone, deciding to call Ariel. He missed his baby girl and blamed himself for the issues they've been having. He knew that the engagement was called off, but he needed some advice to plan a special romantic surprise for Ariel. To show how much she meant to him. He was hoping Maria would give him some ideas and even help out with the surprise.
So it definitely threw him the fuck off when Maria came back in sexy red lingerie and heels. If there's any woman he'd rather seen in lingerie, it's his fiance'
"Maria, what the fuck are you doing?" He looked at her like she was crazy as her lips curled up in a smile.
"Roman, why are we even fighting this?" She pouted, walking over to him. "We both have feelings for each other and we have for quite some time. The way Ariel treats you, you and I both know she doesn't deserve you. She's such a crappy friend to me and she's been a horrible manipulative psychotic bipolar-"
"First of all, you better shut the fuck up right now about my fiance'." He growled at her, his anger forming quickly. "She's not a psycho and she's not manipulative. She's someone that I love more than anything. She has my soul. And what the FUCK makes you even think I am fucking you?" His tone was harsh and he was pissed, the Samoan temper radiating off him.
"Oh I just love that Samoan temper. It's very sexy on you, Daddy." She winked, as Roman's stomach was about to hurl. It sounds better when Ariel does it. When Maria did it, she sounded terrible.
"Maria, put your clothes on. I'm out of here." He got up but Maria pushed him down, climbing on him.
"Roman I love you so much. I've always loved you. You know you love me deep down, no matter what you say. I can be the one you need. I can be the woman you need more than anything. Ariel was never good for you.." She forced the kiss on him, just as Ariel walked in, stunned by the scene before her.
Roman then jumped up, seeing Ariel wide eyed but hurt at the scene before her. Fucking Maria? She knew he had a surprise and she was excited when she saw the envelope with his room key card left for her.
She didn't know this surprise would twist to him cheating on her with her best friend.
"Are you FUCKING kidding me right now?" She screamed to the point where she thought she might go deaf herself. She glared at Maria, who smiled proudly.
"Oh come on Ariel. You and I both know that Roman's been wanting me for quite some time. You just don't suit his needs like I do. You are just too broken for him where as for me, I am the one he wants. He deserves perfection from someone like me."
"Oh is that right?" Ariel said with venom in her voice, her mind seeing red.
"Well, come on now you know its true." She smirked cruelly, standing up as her hands were on her hips, licking her lips. "That was such an amazing kiss Roman. It even got my panties wet." She turned her attention on Roman, ignoring with Ariel as though she was a little kid having a tantrum "I'm sorry I let her steal you from me."
"Bitch, I was never yours in the first fucking place." Roman yelled at the delusional bitch, then trying to talk to Ariel, pleading with her. "Ariel, please I-"
Ariel didn't even hear their voices anymore but charged at Maria at full speed before Maria could even react. Ariel dived right after her, tearing out her red hair and punching her repeatedly as she then started to choke her.
"You backstabbing bitch! You've been plotting this shit since day one. Now I'm about to break every bone in your bony ass body." She screamed as Maria was trying to claw her off, her eyes wide with fear and shock. "You wanna see psychotic? I'll show your ass psychotic once you won't have anymore fucking oxygen left!"
Roman quickly broke it up, holding Ariel as she pulled her free from Maria who was still gasping and gulping for air, struggling as she tried to get up.
"YOU BITCH! I'll fucking kill you!" She yelled at Maria as Roman held her back. "Let go of me, you cheating son of a bitch!"
Roman let go and Ariel punched the hell out of him, the anger radiating off her small body.
"I never want to see you again. Don't touch me, don't call me, don't even come near me right now."
"Babygirl-"
"DON'T "BABYGIRL" ME!" She yelled, angry tears streaming down her eyes. "Why were you even in her room in the first place? You know what I don't even want to know. The picture itself was clear as day. I'm sorry I'm mentally ill and that I can't help my fucking breakdowns. Sorry I'm too fucking much for you." She said sarcastically as she walked away, tears almost blurring her vision.
Roman tried to hold her, wanting to talk to explain what really happened but she was too hurt and she made it clear as to do NOT touch her.
Ariel slammed the door, knowing he deserved that punch, rubbing his jaw as he tasted blood on his lip. He knew deep down he deserved that punch, even though she didn't hear the full story and his explanation, he was shocked that Maria kissed him.
It then dawned on him that this lying bitch set it all up to tear him and his fiance apart.
"Wh-Why didn't you help me?" Her voice weak from Ariel choking her.
"You better be lucky I didn't do it myself." He glared at her, grabbing his jacket. Fuck it, he had to go to Ariel. He had to fix this with her. "Stay the fuck away from me and stay the hell away from Ariel."
He grabbed his jacket and keys, heading out.
"You won't get away with this. You and that fat bitch!" She screamed, despite her voice in the worse pain.
As he left, she then went over to the bathroom and saw the light purple marks on her neck. She then took pictures for proof, smiling as she started to get dressed ready to go to the next phase in her plan.
After her scheduled doctor's appointment, Taryn then headed over to Rose's office. She was nervous but she had to know the truth. Her mind swirling with thoughts, her voice sounded weird and she acted weird. She still had questions as to Alex's watch and why did she have it.
She feared she did something to Alex when she wasn't in her right mind. So then why the blackouts and why the headaches? Why was she acting like a different person?
As much as she tried, her mental state was still fragile. She didn't want Seth to worry about her this was, given as to how he was already worried about her. However, she believed she didn't need something like this to distract him as well.
She gently rubbed her stomach as she drank the rest of her smoothie, pulling out the new ultrasound picture.
Seth had really given her a miracle baby...or babies in this case.
She was having twins, the news hit her even more when she came back from the place, stunning her even more.
She didn't know if they were gonna be boys or girls yet but she was indeed going to have a handful during this pregnancy. Naomi would be ready to spoil her babies and she knew Ariel would in a heartbeat.
Then she thought of Seth..the father himself.
She looked at his contact number in her phone, wanting desperately to just tell him already.
Instead, the little insecure voice in her mind hushed her lips as she turned off the car, headed right to the office to get the session started.
She stopped suddenly, feeling an impending headache coming in. It was bad to the point where she damn near cried, trying to soothe the throbbing headache that was worse than a migraine.
"Ahhh what's happening..." She had tears in her eyes.
"You don't have to worry about that...let me take control of this. You are only going to make it worse for yourself. It's whats best." The little girl voice said sweetly.
"No..No who are you..what's going on?" She shouted, not understanding what was wrong with her.
Dr. Rose then suddenly saw Taryn on her knees, crying out in pain as she was holding her head.
"Taryn!" Dr. Rose helped her inside as they sat down a minute, wanting Taryn to focus on her.
Taryn groaned for a while, looking at Dr. Rose until finally, the headache was gone for now.
"Thank you..." She whispered.
"It's alright honey." The concern in her eyes and in her voice for her, even as a professional. "Let's head inside; We have much to work on right now."
After they got comfortable in her office, Taryn nervously sipped the water that was given to her as she sat on the sofa, with Dr. Rose in front her thin glasses on her.
"I feel like something is really wrong with me, Dr. Rose." She sniffled. "I am trying so hard to keep it together, for the sake of my unborn babies and for everyone I love. as I truly thought I couldn't get pregnant. Now keeping this added secret in my mind, everything is just spinning out of control and I don't know how to make it stop...I don't know how..."
"Ok just breathe for a moment, Taryn ok? You have to stay calm for your unborn" She said soothingly, as a way to calm her down. "Let's start from the beginning ok?"
Taryn then told her everything; The molestation, the rape, her illegal abortion and the revenge. The voices she's been hearing, and even speaking herself which doesn't sound like her voice at all, The way she's been talking and the hallucinations she's been having."
After Dr. Rose carefully jotted down everything she was confessing, not judging her and that's why Taryn had went to Dr. Rose. She was not just their family therapist but their mother's oldest friend, someone they trusted. She has been a psychologist for 10-20 years and even though they had their own lives, Dr. Rose assured them that the girls could come to her anytime as their therapist when truly needed.
After a while, carefully wrote down what signs she's been having, the behaviors she's been displaying from time to time, with no memory of it, Dr. Rose diagnosed her with what it could be.
Although she didn't want to upset Taryn, given her pregnancy.
"What is it?" She asked, her nails digging into the seat, willing herself to be strong no matter how bad the diagnosis was. "Please I need to know..I have to get help..."
"Well, we can't confirm it for sure. But what we can say is that we can-"
Just then Taryn started in on a piercing scream, almost dropping to the floor as the migraine from hell came rushing into her, tenfold.
"Taryn...Taryn...can you hear me..." Dr. Rose kept calling out to her, knowing something was happening to Taryn.
It was then that Dr. Rose saw that Taryn got quiet, standing up as she slowly went into her purse digging a little further into the zip up pocket, pulling out a Gothic red jeweled choker as she clipped it around her neck. Then she put her hair in braided pigtails as Dr. Rose watched her carefully.
After Taryn added black lipstick on her, she sat back down on the sofa, clearing her voice to speak
However, that voice...did not sound anything like Taryn's. It came out eerily calm and toneless, having no emotion.
"Hello there Dr. Rose. I see that you were about to tell Taryn that she has D.I.D; Dissociative Identity Disorder." The voice said to her as "Taryn" crossed her legs, pulling out a purple rose in her purse that she had hidden from Taryn since she wouldn't remember anyway. "Well, I am afraid that she's not ready to hear that yet, especially not from you."
"Alright then." She nodded to "Taryn" even though she wasn't herself. "If you are not Taryn...then to whom am I speaking with?"
"You may refer to me as Willow." She spoke to psychologist.
"Alright Ms. Willow. It's nice to meet you. My name is Dr. Emily Rose."
"I'm well aware." She gave her a blank cool expression. "However I can't say the same for you at this moment. Not when you interfere with my job."
"And with what job."
"To protect Taryn...at all costs."
