The Couple

Celia

In the next two days, Harris managed to spread the rumor of our relationship. Next day, when I reached the office people were already gossiping about me and Harris. Tyler tried to talk to me but I shooed him away. I know he is Bryan’s boyfriend and him being a traitor has very low chances but I can’t trust anyone. It makes me think that he is a werewolf too and how can any werewolf inform Harris about their existence and what would he trade this big information for.

I spent the whole next week thinking of a strategy to find that traitor so I can throw him in front of Chris and reveal him and Harris in front of Chris. I am afraid he might kill this bastard but I hope he will find some way to punish them instead of becoming a murderer.

This whole week, I was trying to avoid J and Mary. Whenever they called I talked for less than a minute carefully without making them doubt me. The night all this happened, he tortured me by making me spend a night with him or should I say this like at his apartment. We both slept in different rooms.

I slept with a knife under my pillow, actually I didn’t sleep the whole night and kept waiting for Harris to barge in my room and try something so I could kill him in my self defence and protect me. Yes, that was my plan to get rid of him but he didn’t come and next morning he mocked me for staying awake with a knife and thinking about him. I was so angry that I tried stabbing him then and there but he caught me and punched me in my face.

After that incident, I was too careful because I don’t want to know how will he torture me other times. I noticed Peter outside my building a few times, he even asked me about the phone calls with Jeanne and Mary and then I knew Harris is watching my every move and waiting for me to make a mistake so he can torture me but I will not give him a single chance. Even I made the first call to J myself to see if he is checking my phone calls too.

It was Friday, when I went to his office during lunch time. He wants to play a game with me but the game will be played my way. I have a few things in my mind. If my small plan worked well then I will try something big to trap him.

“Here is my girlfriend.” He got up from his seat and walked towards me to give me a hug. I stood there and turned my face when he tried to be himself, a jerk and tried giving me a kiss. I pushed him and took a step back.

“So,what brought you here?” He leaned against the table and made himself comfortable over there.

“Jeanne doesn’t believe that we’re dating and if she doesn’t believe then Christian also doesn’t believe. We need to do something.” He frowned and laughed. My nervousness grew more, but I was too determined to make my plan work. So, I glared at him and made myself look like I am too serious.

“Why do you care so much if he doesn’t believe us? You should be relieved that he doesn’t trust this false arrangement.”

right, unfortunately that Christian is harmful for me.” I carefully took a step closer to him before speaking further. I prepared my answers to his every possible question. “And if I want myself safe, I need him to trust

But I need to know more about him and spend more time with so he can trust me a bit to have me around him. He spoke and broke the trail of my thoughts

And there she laughed again throwing her head back and I wanted to strangle her throat and kill her for hanging out with my boyfriend. Harris turned in the direction of my eyesight and started laughing
