After the class, Beth and I walked to the cafeteria. We sat in our usual place and ordered coffee. As I was having my coffee, I could feel Beth's eyes on me. I placed the cup on the table and looked at her, "Okay, I'll tell, just stop that!" I said as I glanced at her expression.
"From where should I start?" I asked while placing my hands on the table,
"After Enzo reappeared in your life," she said as she leaned forward on the table.
I took a deep breath," Okay, after college I went back to my home…" I told her everything that happened that day, the contract and him threatening my grandmother, Everything.
"Such a dick," she shrieked with her eyes dangerously reflecting anger. Beth can be very intimidating when she's angry.
"So, that was the reason behind your sudden marriage," she asked looking at me with shock.
I nodded, "I had no other choice!" I said, glancing at my coffee. I took the cup into my hands and took a sip, "Where did you disappear after marriage? I went to the mansion and asked Enzo about you but he never answered me," she asked me with concern evident in her voice.
I sighed and glanced at her, "Nikolai kidnapped me," I said,
"What!" She exclaimed while standing up from the chair.
I looked around and saw everyone looking at us with confusion on their faces. I glanced at Beth and gestured to her to sit down. She looked around and sat down.
"Who the hell is he? Why did he kidnap you?" She asked, moving closer to.
"Remember, I saved a guy from getting killed near the cafe after we meet?" I said she nodded her head, "yeah, that tall guy!"She said.
"He's Nikolai," I said while taking a sip of my coffee.
"What!" She whispered as I nodded at her.
"This is so confusing, Can you tell me the whole story, from the beginning," she asked while having a sip from her coffee.
I nodded, "After Remond said everything to me everything…" I began but she cut me off, "Remond? what did he tell you?" She asked, "He told me how Enzo was manipulating him to bully me so that he could save me and be a hero," I said remembering all that happened that day.
"Remond was bullying you because of Enzo!" She said for which I nodded my head.
I began telling her everything that Remind told me about what Enzo has been doing behind my back to get my attention and manipulate into loving him.
By the time I finished, Beth's mouth was hung wide open and it was clear that she was processing what I just said.
"He ripped that guy's heart out!" She said while staring in air,
I sighed. From all the things I just said to her she caught that one thing which makes my body shudder whenever I think of it.
"Oh my God! He loves you so much," she said while looking at me.
"He killed that guy for touching you and killed Brian for abusing you… I never saw someone who could go to any extinct for their loved ones… he truly loves you Venessa" she said looking at me,
All those things he did for me flashed in front of my eyes, A sad smile appeared on my face.
"I have a doubt, though," she said, making me snap back to reality. I glanced at her, "Why did Remond come to your house?" She asked me and the condition I found Aron in flashed in front of my eyes,
"Enzo had Aron in his basement...when I found him, he was in very bad condition…" I told whole story, from me running from the mansion after hearing whole truth from them, me, getting kidnapped and waiting for Enzo to take me back as he promised after one month but got depressed when he didn't show up for months and after months, finding him in the auction, with other woman, Everything.
I told her everything that happened until now, before she could respond to my whole story, "oh my god, Venessa!" Morgan ran to me and hugged me. I smiled and hugged her back, "When did you come back?" She asked me which made me confused, I stared at her in confusion.
"Beth said you went on a honeymoon...Come on Venn, who spends this many days on honeymoon!" She said while sitting on the chair next to me, I glanced at Beth and smiled at her.
Before I could respond, "Hey Aron!" Morgan called, I turned around and saw Aron walking with Zach, talking something. He's a bit taller now, His hair has grown a bit, he's more attractive than before. My eyes moved from him to Zach who was smiling at me while looking at me. He's a bit taller too, his hair's the same as before and he looks much more attractive than before.
"Venessa!" Aron said when he's eyes fell on me, he walked towards me and hugged me. I smiled and hugged him back.
We talked about everything, Rachel, Jackson, and Timothy also joined us. Aron and Zach didn't reveal anything to them about where I actually was these many days. They let others think that I was on my honeymoon.
After break, we all walked to our classes, While I was about to step inside my class Aron caught my wrist and stopped me. I turned around to face him, "It's good to have you back Ness" he kissed my forehead and walked away from me. I stared at his figure as he disappeared.

After bidding goodbyes to my friends, I turned around and walked towards Paul who was waiting for me in the parking lot.
The bodyguards were following me all this while, I completely ignored them and tried to relax. One of them opened the car door for me, I thanked him and stepped inside.
"How was it?" Paul asked while starting the engine.
"It was nice, they were happy to see me," I said smiling at him.
"Told you," he replied.
He drove us through the heavy traffic, I watched the traffic as we traveled back to Beverly hills.
After reaching the mansion, I stepped outside of the car and walked towards the main door.
I climbed the stairs and opened the door while walking through the living room. I glanced at the sofa and stopped dead in my tracks.
My body froze as tears rolled in my eyes, "Roman?"
