Upon Tamara arrival, the kids greeted her with a charming smile. Tamara hugged some of the kids and was holding a cute boy's hands as they both walked in together. Oh!!how she wished she didn't loose her child. When the kids were all settled, she started distributing the food.
The rich aroma of roasted chicken and freshly baked cookies filled the air, mingling with the sounds of happy chatter and clinking of forks on plates.
Next, Tamara made her way to the city where she met with the homeless people and the needy. With a gentle smile, she served each person with compassion and generosity. That was not the first time of her doing such things, every Christmas Eve she always go around to the orphanage and streets to distribute food to the needy.
As the day drew to a close, Tamara returned home very tired. She was about to go to bed when her phone buzzed with a message. She checked it and it was from Axel saying he wasn't going to be home for Christmas. She guessed he was busy and just replied with an Okay and Take care message going to bed.
Thinking of what she did today she was happy with the knowledge of knowing that she has brought joy to those who needed it most.
…..
The room was a decrepit, abandoned. Its walls covered with cobwebs and there was not even a single window to know if it was morning or not.
She was sitting down on the floor with her eyes open wide with fear.Suddenly the door was open and somebody walked in. She couldn't see the person face at all because it was dark.
She could hear the footsteps of the person moving closer to her as she tried to move away. She felt pains as the person nails was digging into her skin. Immediately, she guessed it was a female.
Then she heard the person saying in a low and menacing voice "You took everything from me, you took my happiness, destroyed my marriage, my life and betrayed me. Now it is your turn to suffer.
The voice sounded familiar to her ears..Tamara. It was Tamara. Fiona whimpered, as her voice was pleading for mercy. But Tamara was unforgiving, her hatred and anger fueling her every move as she tormented her and was determined to make her pay for her deeds. "Goodbye Fiona", Tamara said. "Please Tamara, don't kill me". Fiona pleaded for mercy.
As she heard the sound of the gun shot, Fiona eyes snapped opened and she found herself gasping for breath. Dixon beside her also woke up when he heard her gasping for breath. As she sat up in bed, her heart raced. Her sheet was drenched with sweat, her nightgown climbing to her skin.
Dixon gave her a glass of water to drink to calm her down before asking her any questions. She collected the water from him and drank it. After drinking the water, she rubbed her eyes trying to shake the image of her dream off but they lingered and kept on haunting and tormenting her. Her dream felt so real, so visceral.
Seeing her condition Dixon decided to keep his questions to himself as he moved closer to her, hugging her. While hugging him, her thoughts kept on racing with what ifs and maybes of her dream.
She tried to tell her self it was just a dream, but her fear and anxiety lingered, refusing to be shaken off. Fiona realized her dream was more than a product of her imagination.
It was a manifestation of her deepest fears and secret that even Dixon doesn't know about. She needs to act and this time very fast before the dream become a reality.
Next morning, Fiona woke up late because she wasn't able to sleep back on time. She got down from the bed and went downstairs but Dixon was nowhere to be found and wondered where he could have gone on Christmas Day. Without thinking too much she went to take her bath.
She came out of her room wearing a long sleeve jumpsuit in a sleek crimson red colour perfect for a stylish and comfortable Christmas celebration, styling her hair into a loose curls and her face left with her natural state.
Going to the kitchen, she decided to cook today's food. Fiona isn't much of a chef but that doesn't mean she can't cook. She wore an apron and on the gas cooker. Within an hour plus she finished cooking and carried the food to the dining table.
She cooked a slow beef Wellington, wrapped in flaky puff pastry served with a rich fruity sauce.
Dixon returned later in the day and they both ate the dinner and shared a romantic moment with each other. Fiona was happy because Dixon didn't ask her about her dream and also tried not to remind him because she didn't know what to tell him. They finished food. Leaving the dining table, Fiona went to return the plates and washed them.
….
Christmas went by as well as New year, It was now time for Tamara to continue her plan and this time it has to be something bigger and unexpecting. All her workers started resuming back to work and started working back.
As the new ceo of the company she was so busy with different meetings. During lunch break, she dialed a number and called it, few minutes later she got a call from that number saying the work was done.
In Dixon's Apartment
Since he was no longer the Ceo of his company and didn't have any job, Dixon often stayed at home while Fiona went to work. Dixon was surprised when he saw a message stating that all his bank accounts was frozen. Frustrated he threw his phone away.
He knew it was Tamara that did it, he really want to destroy her, he wants to kill her and that was what he was going to do. "Get ready, Tamara watch me destroy you". He said.
….
Fiona returned from work late. She opened the door ans saw Dixon in the sitting room waiting for her. She went to sit beside him and landed a peck on his lip. "Fiona I need to talk to you about something". He said, looking at her.
"Okay, I'm listening". Fiona replied. "I need you to talk with your parents and tell them you've decided to take over the company, he paused then continued Babe I am fully aware that you're not ready to take over the company yet, that's why I have decided to take care of it instead of you". He said.
"But babe you know I haven't been in touch with my parents ever since they found out about our relationship". Fiona said. "Please I really need you to try, I can't be staying at home all day during nothing all my accounts have been hacked and freezed by Tamara". He said with a pleading face.
"I'll try", was all she said and they both went to have dinner together.
….
Tamara was the only one at home because Axel and Adrien traveled back to America last night. Axel was really a mystery to Tamara. She didn't really know much about him because he always kept a low profile and always stayed out of each other's life.
He was always traveling and never stayed at home for too long but she really didn't care because soon there are going to go on their separate ways and forget each other.
