All On Contract

Chapter Six: S.W.M.M

Tessa's P.O.V:
I quickly get out of Marshall's car before he could ask a billon question about the fight. His maid opens the door and I quickly walk past her and run upstairs.

"Tessa, wait!" Marshall calls after me. I ignore him and carry on running up the stairs, godamn these long ass stairs.

My mind goes back to what that women was saying about Marcus and Karla, how could these people be so cruel for a bit of money. I feel my eyes get watery as I walk down the hallway.

Hold it in, Tess!

I open the door to my room and slam it behind me. I chuck my bag on the bed and push my hair back as I let the tears run down my cheek.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck..." I whisper to myself as I try my best to stop crying. I take off my jacket and throw it over the chair.

I walk to my bathroom and look at my reflection in the mirror. My lips bleeding, I've got a cut above my brow, there's a bruise forming on my cheek already, there are few scratches on my hand...

All because I got upset about her mentioning Karla and because...becuase she mentioned my ex husband Marcus.

Marcus had cheated on me. That's the main reason we broke up. The worse part was that he cheated on me with my cousin Nicole, my first cousin to be exact. Marcus was acting weird after he slept with my cousin. After a few weeks I found out.

- Flashback -

"Marcus, baby! I'm home." I call. The security place my suitcases in the foyer and then walk out. "Mark, honey!" I call again, I call him Mark for short and he calls me Tess. I call for Marcus one more time but no answer, guess he's not home.

I call for our Siberian Husky, Hunter who soon comes running towards me. I laugh as he jumps ontop of me and pushes me on the ground.

"Stop, Hunter!" I laugh as he starts to lick my face. "Down boy!" I giggle and Hunter jumps of me. "You missed mommy hu?" I hug him and stroke his back.
Hunter follows me into the kitchen, I take out a cookie from his jar and throw one at him which he catches making me smile proudly. I walk over to the fruit basket and pick up a green apple.

I grab my hand bag and walk up the stairs with Hunter right by me. I stop infront of the mirror at the top of the stairs and fix my hair since Hunter messed it and turn to walk towards my room.

Hunter starts to bark and stops infornt of me. I neal down and scratch his back as I try to calm him down.

"Shh, boy." I say trying to calm him, he turns away from me and runs towards my room. I watch him as he stops infront of my door and then runs back to me. He barks again loudly. "What is it?" I say quietly.

I walk towards my room and place my ear against the door, when I don't hear anything, I glance down at Hunter before I open the door slowly. My eyes travel around the room until they land on my bed.

Marcus lay asleep with someone laying next to him, on my side. I walk in and look at the clothes all over the floor. Tears start to run down my cheek and before I make a noise, I quickly cover my mouth.

I look at the girl that's naked ontop of the covers, her black hair was covering her face so I couldn't see her face. Hunter comes in and I place my finger on my lips before he barks.

I can't stay here...

I walk into my closet and start to slowly remove my clothes from hangers that I need and all my hygiene things. I open a few draws and take out my jewellery. I then take a photo album out and open it as a small sob escapes my mouth.
