TYLER

TESSA POINT OF VIEW

I sweep through the crowd of people dancing on the dance floor, searching for either Joan or Mona. I need to inform them before i head home but the place is just crowded, I can't find them.

Maybe i should give them a call instead, I reach out for my phone inside my purse.

I dialed Joan's number but she didn't pick up, I decided to dial Mona's number and wait for her pick up. The phone keeps ringing for some minutes.

"Hey girlfriend." Her overly excited voice sounds

I hear someone breathing heavily in the background then I hear a sound like moaning come from her mouth.

Where is she?

What is she doing?

"Mona where are you?"

"Ermmmmm, I am in the middle of a hot make out."

"With a stranger?"

"Yeah!"

I hear sounds of moaning and someone kissing. I hang up and sigh.

I guess I'll see her tomorrow.

I look around if I will see Hayden and I did, but my heart break when I saw him, he still has that girl on his lap and they look like they could rip each other's clothes any minute. The other girl was still busy sucking his face

Ugh, I roll my eyes

Didn't your parents teach you guys about decency? Get a room people. I scream in my head.

I decided I have seen and had enough. It's time I head home.

I head towards the exit of the club. I check my wristwatch as I head out, it's 12:30pm.

Gosh, it is so late. I hope I can still get a taxi at this time, cause as far as I know New York never sleeps.

Not paying much attention to where I'm going I bumped into someone. My purse falls from my hand and the person quickly bends down to pick it up.

"I am so sorry, I wasn't looking and I bumped into you." I apologise, I hope this is not another pervert.

"No problem."

Wait........ That voice........... I know that voice............. Tyler?

I raised my head and my mouth hangs open in surprise.

"Tessa!"

"Tyler?" I screamed joyfully.

A wide grin suddenly appears on his face.

He opens his arms and I jump into it, he hugs me so close to himself for a few minutes and breaks the hug.

"Oh my goodness! Tyler what are you doing here? I thought you were in Washington?" I asked

"I am here for some business."

"I miss you Tess."

Okay let me introduce Tyler, Tyler is my best friend. The both of us studied and graduated at Harvard University' London.

After that incident with Tyler seven years ago, I decided to further my education in London so as to get away from the past and start anew. I was practically depressed and a loner until I met Tyler who saved me from some guys who were trying to abuse me.

Both of us clicked and we instantly became study buddies and best friends.

Tyler's dad is from American while his mom is from London, he loves using his British accent which he said he got from his mom. He is from a very wealthy family like mine.

Both Tyler and I can talk about anything and everything, we are very free around each other.

I practically see Tyler like the brother that I never had.

"Teaaaaaaaaa." His draw snapping me back to reality. I blinked my eyes as I cast him an innocent look.

"Yeah!"

"I asked if you are just coming in or going home."

"I was about to head home."

"Are you with your car? He asked

"Nope!"

"Come on then I will give you a ride." He offers

"No, thanks I will just get a taxi." I respectfully declined his offer

He looks around then he looks at his wristwatch.

"Love, are you drunk? Look at the time it's late, do you think you can get a taxi at this ungodly hour?"

He's right. I doubt I'll get a taxi at this late hour.

"Tess, it's decided. I will drop you off." He said leaving no room for argument

He takes my hand and leads me to the place he parked his car. He opens the door for me and I hope on, he enters too and starts the car.

"Your parents mansion right?"

"I don't live there anymore." He furrow his brows looking at me

I take out my phone and show him Hayden's address.

"Okay let's go." Then he zooms off.

The ride continue in silence until Tyler breaks it.

"Still the wild club goer huh? I thought that you stopped clubbing."

"Well my friends invited me, so I couldn't refused them." I explained

He glanced at me for a brief moment before he returns his attention back to the road.

"Did you have fun?" He asked and I shake my head

"That is the worst club that I have ever attended."

He pinched my cheeks softly and smiled

"You still look as beautiful as always." He smiled

"Dude it's hasn't been long you left London."

"Tess, I left London two months after graduation to Washington, so love technically it's been two years since we last saw each other."

"Not up to two years Tyler, it's been one year nine months and sixteen days." I explained and he chuckled

"I thought you got a job in London after graduation?"

"I quit the job and decided to come back home."

"But you said that you were never coming back to New York, what changed?" He questioned

"Nothing Ty, I changed my mind so stop being inquisitive." I snapped playful and he smiled raising his hand in surrender. Then the whole place became silent

From the club to Hayden's house is kinda far, it's a thirty minutes drive. So since there is nothing left to say I decides to look out of the window and admire the beauty of New York City.

"Thanks for the ride Tyler."

Currently we've made it to Hayden's mansion and Tyler parks outside the mansion

"It's nothing love." He replied calling the pet name that he usually call me and I smiled

He smiles and opened the door for me and I step out. I rest my back on his car and he puts his hands on my side then we are both facing each other.

He looks at the building for a short while before he shifts his gaze back to me.

"Love you live here?" He asked

"Yeah."

"Alone?"

"No."

"Then who do you live with?" He questioned

I need to tell him the truth that I live here with my husband, he is my best friend and he deserves to know the truth.

"You live with someone?"

I stayed silent for a moment thinking of ways to break the news to him.

"I live with my husband." There i said it

Tyler immediately shift and looked at me in horror.

I couldn't face him the look in his eyes, it was too painful. I knew that the both of us are just only best friends and I may have ruined our friendship by not informing him of my marriage.

Tyler paced around breathing heavily. He ran his hands through his perfect hair, I expected him to mad, to yell at me, to flip out. I was anxious waiting for his reaction.

But when he spoke he was calm, no hint of anger in his voice even though i knew it was there. I knew he was upset

"You live with your husband?"! He exclaimed

I nod. He frowns and cast the mansion a harsh glare but his gaze softens when he looks back at me

"Since when did you fall in love and got married? I thought you and Lucas are still dating or do you both decided to take it to the next level?

Why is your Instagram status showing single? Why are there no pictures of your marriage on Instagram?"

I sighed and looked at him

"It's a long story Ty."

"Explain." He ordered in a grave tone ready to listen

I began to explain everything from our arranged marriage to Hayden's cheating to him.

Now it was his turn to be shock.

"You had an arranged marriage? Seriously?" He asked

"What's wrong with you? Tessa i leave you for a year plus and you managed to royally screw your life over."

"Hayden isn't that bad." I protested

"So now you are tied to a bloody jerk who treats you like crap." He mocked

"I will survive remember that I am a survivor and I am strong."

"He doesn't deserve you Tessa, you are a gem and you deserve someone better. I understand that he was hurt by you in the past but that doesn't give him the right to disrespect and hurt you.

You were also broken and hurt after that incident. I remember how you were always crying and feeling sorry for yourself, you were practically depressed after that incident. If only he knows that you did it for him."

"Don't ever let that jerk hurt you Tessa, I am always here for you." He added and I nodded my head

"So how have you been coping Tess?"

"I opened my company four months ago and thankful it is going smoothly."

"Wow! My bestie have achieved a lot without me." He said feigning hurt.

"Let's hang out tomorrow Tess."

"I can't hang out with you tomorrow, I will be busy attending a meeting with a new investor tomorrow."

He snatched my phone from me and types his number in it, then he calls his line so that he can have my number.

"I will call you tomorrow."

I looked at the time, it's 1:40am. A gasp leaves my mouth.

"Tyler I better head inside, I have to go to work early tomorrow morning."

"Okay love take care, see you tomorrow."

I nodded before rushing inside.

*****

I entered my room and saw my well arranged bed, it's calling my name "Tessa come and sleep."

I lazily takes off my shoes and fell on the bed. At last I can finally sleep

A loud thud woke me up from my sleep, I sat down on my bed and listen.

I was afraid that it might be an intruder or a thief since all the workers are on leave and I was the only one at home.

It's silent no sound. I may down and close my eyes to continue my sleep, but I hear an even louder thud

I quickly sat up and take cautious steps to the door..I open it and peek outside, I didn't see anything.

Just when I turned around to go inside I saw Hayden and the girl he was with at the club making out close to his door.

"You both should have some decency and get a room." I yelled and they both pulled away from each other. Hayden glared at me

"Sweetheart who is she? Is she your maid?" The bimbo asked Hayden as I stood there dumbfounded. Hayden looked at me and smirked

"Yes she is my maid. Don't worry about her, she is not someone important."

Now I was furious and was burning with rage. How dare he? Wasn't it enough that he kept bringing and fucking his whores in our matrimonial home while continuously taunting and disrespecting our marriage and now he has the guts to insults me in front of his whore.

I wanted to scream, deal with him, punch him but I kept my composure not wanting to lash out and give him the satisfaction of seeing me worked up.

Sighing I went back inside my room leaving them to continue what they were doing. I wonder how long I can take and endure in this relationship before I finally snapped.
