His Beautiful Addiction

Gwen stood by her window as she watched Tiana bid Nicklaus goodbye, her hands clutching on her phone.

Finally, the day she was going to get rid of her. Gwen chewed her inner lip as she watched them both.

But what if something went wrong?

What if Nicklaus found out?

If he did, he would never forgive her, but then she won't be happy if she didn't at least try.

A sigh left her lips as she turned away from the window, and paced around the room.

This was the only way…

She nodded to herself, and it wasn't as though she had a choice. Liam was on the loose and he was going to harm her if she didn't do what he said.

Gulping, she tossed her phone on the bed and got dressed, packing her hair into a bun.

Without talking to anyone, she left the house and got into the Uber she had called.

When she was far gone, she tapped on her phone.

She had made a lot of bad decisions in her life but this was the biggest leap she had ever taken.

Hurting her own sister…

The phone rang a few times before Tiana picked,

"Gwen…" she called with a chuckle,

"why are you calling me? Aren't you in your room?"

"No, I'm not, it seems you've forgotten what today is?"

"Uh?"

Tiana asked with creased brows, she thought for a second before her hands flew over her lips,

"mom's anniversary! oh my God, how did I forget? You should have told me when you were leaving so I would come with you."

"haha, just wanted to surprise you, hurry up, I'm waiting for you, buy some flowers on your way."

"aish, what to do, I would have loved Nicklaus to come with me."

"he's gone to work right? No need to disturb him, we just tend the grass and keep some flowers, is that okay?"

Tiana hesitated for a second,

"Alright, will call you, let me get dressed."

"okay." Gwen held the phone to her ear till after the beep then the smile on her lips disappeared.

She blinked.

In a few hours, Nicklaus would be all hers.

A wicked smile formed on her lips.

After a few minutes, the car came to a halt and Gwen stepped out.

The road to the cemetery was a little lonely, only a few cars passed by.

Taking out her phone, she called Liam.

"Is it done?"

She swallowed when she heard his shill voice.

"Yes… she'll be here any moment from now."

"good job,"

Before she could say another word, the call ended.

Walking down the road, she stopped at a path where she could stand and see any incoming vehicle.

She paced around as she waited for Tiana to arrive.

After some minutes she became apprehensive, so many thoughts running through her mind.

Why was she not here yet? Did she find out her plan?

Gwen wondered as she crossed her arm, just that moment, her eyes caught a familiar car racing towards her and she stopped.

She was here.. Finally…

Her heart pounded as she watched the car approach…

…

Earlier that morning after the call…

Tiana hurriedly dressed up in black and quickly called Nicklaus.

"Baby, I forgot to tell you, today is my mother's anniversary, I even forgot, Gwen just reminded me."

"oh, I should have gone with you, should I come back home, so we would go together?"

"no, no don't worry, I'm going with Gwen, we'll be back soon, will call you as soon as I get back home."

"Alright, be safe okay,"

"Okay, love you."

"you too."

Tiana ended the call and peeked at herself for the last time before she left the room.

As she walked down the stairs a sharp pain crossed her belly making her feet stop at a spot.

"arhh…"

Tiana exclaimed, her hands going around her stomach. Her eyes shut as she tried to contain the pain but strangely it disappeared as soon as she came.

She frowned as she patted her belly to know if she could still feel it but she didn't…

"strange…" she muttered as she walked down the stairs.

As she stepped out of the house, she didn't look and ran into Bella.

"oh my, so sorry I didn't see you just now."

She apologized with a smile.

"ah, no problem. Going to work?"

"no, today's my mom's anniversary."

"Oh, okay. What of your sister?"

"she's already there, she left before me."

"okay…"

Bella was about to walk past but as the talkative that she was, she couldn't let her thoughts slide,

"Didn't know sister was close to Veronica."

Bella said with a smile. Tiana frowned,

"Veronica? I thought she resigned…"

"yeah, before she did. And strangely they both left the house at the same time before your sister came back again. I had asked Veronica what they were upto since I saw them together a few times but she wouldn't say, I thought you knew about it, but it seems you didn't."

"oh… Gwen didn't mention anything about that."

Tiana said, a worried frown formed on her forehead as she wondered what Gwen would have to do with Veronica. She knew her sister, she wasn't that humble as to be friends with the maids.

"oh, okay. I was wondering if something was up since Veronica resigned so suddenly and that day she didn't look like she wanted to leave."

Tiana's eyes turned to Bella and she smiled,

"you worry a lot. I asked Veronica and she said she found a better place that was why she wanted to resign and I didn't sense any thing strange on her,

"don't worry Bella, we'll talk more when I return, okay."

Tiana smiled and patted her shoulder as she walked past her hurriedly.

Bella waved her bye as she got into the car,

As the car drove off, Tiana couldn't help thinking about what Bella just said.

Did Veronica have any issues with Gwen? Was that why she wanted to leave?

Tiana wondered. She would just ask Gwen later that day. If there was something up between them, she should have just told her instead of having issues to the extent that Veronica had to leave.
