Tessy told the driver to leave until she called him over.
**********
Mrs Lukeman slid a paper on the table towards Tessy. She picked it up and scoffed upon seeing what it was. It was a cheque.
"This is a cheque of five million. I want you to leave my son for good." Mrs Lukeman said.
"What sort of cliche setting is this? You want 'me', to leave your son simply because you offer me an amount of five million?" She laughed and then turned to Mrs Lukeman with a serious face. "You must be joking."
Mrs Lukeman was shocked. Who wouldn't want an amount of five million? The girl sitting across her had this sense of arrogance and dominance that she didn't like. She was not an ordinary girl for sure.
"You don't want it because it's too small, then I'll double it."
"Go ahead. Even triple the price but I won't take it." Tessy said.
"What?"
"I never asked your son to get in a relationship with me. I never even had the mind to date him, I'm just paying off my debt. If he wants to marry me, he can go ahead and I'll marry him, I don't care." Tessy said, her voice so smooth but her gaze was terrifying.
"You...you're just a nobody! I don't want my son to end up with a woman who has no status in society. I warn you, stay away from my son, or else..."
"Or else what?" Tessy dared and crossed her legs. "Mrs Lukeman, I don't want to argue with you over this. If you want me to stay away from him then tell him to make it a clean break. He has to show or tell me that he doesn't want to be my boyfriend anymore and I'll...back off." She raised her hands. "But to this..." She picked up the cheque and tore it into two, then four and threw it to the corner there.
Mrs Lukeman stared in shock and disbelief. Did she just tear a check of five million? So arrogant.
"...keep it for someone who actually needs it." She dropped her leg and stood up. "Now, if you'll excuse me." She walked away leaving Mrs Lukeman to fume.

"This lady took away my time. Rain is going to flip that I'm this late." Tessy smiled as she walked up to the door, surprisingly it was opened and Tessy saw all the decorations. "Did they...? They actually planned to surprise me? But...where are they?" She walked in.
The maids were nowhere to be found. Even George was missing. She dropped her phone on the table and walked around. Then, she started hearing sounds coming from a room. It was slightly opened and she heard it all.
"You...why didn't you tell her?"
"I'm going to. I don't have the courage to do so. Even if it was because of a bet at the beginning, I'm really in love with her now."
"You asked her to be your girlfriend because of a bet but now you love her? How am I sure that you're not lying?"
"This surprise will show how much I love her. I really love Tessy!"
It was a recording of Rain and Chad's conversation. But why was it there? Who recorded it?
'Bang!' She heard something fall and ran to the direction it came from.
She opened the room door only to see Rain using the bed covers to cover herself up while Chad stood at the other end. It looked like they were fighting… without clothes?
"You two..." Tessy didn't know what to say. She looked at the both of them and at the bed which had a little stain of blood on it. Anyone could comprehend that they just had sex and someone lost their purity.
It was right in front of her but Tessy still couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe that Rain would do such a thing with Chad and on this very day, this very night, what was going on?
Seeing Tessy standing there, Rain's world crumbled before her eyes. This was not what it looked like, although the deed was done. It wasn't exactly how it seemed.
Chad on the other hand was lost. How did it come to this? How did he end up having sex with Rain? He never thought this would happen but how...how did it happen?
Tessy felt pain in her chest. She felt hurt and couldn't comprehend the other feelings inside. It hurts to see them like that. It really hurt but, who was she to reproach?
The curse was real and it had started to take effect in her life. She just wished that... it didn't have to be them. It shouldn't have been them. If the curse wanted to cause her pain, why did it have to use these two? Was her life not already a living hell? Why did it have to take the little moment of happiness she had?
Tessy opened her mouth to speak but she choked at her words. Slowly, her eyes grew teary but she fought it and forced herself to speak.
"Enjoy." She simply said and turned to leave but Rain tried to stop her.
"Tessy, Tessy, please listen, it isn't what it looks like." Rain kept saying but Tessy didn't look like she was going to stop. "Listen to me, please. I don't want to lose you. I never...I never..." She was so hurt that the words failed to leave her mouth. She fell down and cried, hoping Tessy would just listen to her.
