chapter26 most likely

"I don't want to lose another sister" though temporarily, it made Grace smile that Maya thought of her as a sister, "when you went missing, I thought.....l...I was so scared" it pained her that made her friend recall such a horrible experience

"I'm sorry"

Anna who had been silent finally spoke

" why are you still dating Trevor" Anna wanted to know the truth and from just the look on her grace, Grace new that Anna would flip if she was lied to

" after the anniversary party I broke up with him but...but..."

"but what" Anna snapped

grace took in a deep breath " but he didn't agree so he kidnapped me later that night and kept me at an apartment he kept asking me to take him back and I kept refusing I talked to that maybe he would get tired and let's me go but he threatened little Mark, I had to"

grace almost didn't notice anesthesia if you step when she and Mark's life being threatened but she did and it spend her that she was the cost of all this mess

Anna walked up to her slowly. gosh. she hated feeling so small and vulnerable, but it was all her fault she wouldn't mind if Anna shouted or scolded her because it was all her fault

" it is not your fault" Anna said gently

"but it is, it is my fault" she should be shouted at and scolded for and endangering their baby brother not comforted and hugged

"shut up, it. is. not. your fault. how could you have known that Trevor is a lunatic. you met him at a hospital while he was trying to apologize there is no way you could have known".

" I fvcked a guy in a hospital once. good stuff" Maya said suddenly it was obviously and attempt to lighten up the mood were all laughing momentarily but it sounded trained and humorous

" there must be a way out of this mess" Anna was trying to sound stronger and confident but Grace saw through her act

" that's the problem from what I have gathered all his past relationship ended on his own terms or in the other person committing suicide so I need your help to reverse.... psychology?"

" so you planning on asking for my help without telling me what is going on" Anna scoffed

" I didn't want to get you involved"

Anna scoffed again

Grace sighed " just tell me what's I need to know Anna, so I can get this over with"

Anna goes silent for a while

" this means that he should want to break up with you, the breakup must be his idea"

"but how?"

" maybe she should pretend to go crazy that was enough for him to ditch my sister" Maya said bitterly

grace couldn't believe that she was seriously considering behaving like a crazy person but such is life

" nope, no can do. Dad's blood pressure is still high because of your kidnap, if he thinks you are running mad he might have a fatal heart attack" Anna quickly disagreed

"so...any other ideas?"

"he claims to be in love with you right?"

"yeah"

"when was that?"

"when he kidnapped me"

"and that was only two weeks after meeting you"

"so?"

"people like Trevor suffers from a case of premature obsessive love disorder (O. L. D) or severe infatuation. they think they're in love with you but they are just infatuated and when you start to reciprocate their so called feelings and affection, they are bound to lose interest. for example Trevor want you to succumb to his will or in his opinion, fall in love with him and when you do he loses interest..."

being in this situation maybe grace feel out of place in her own body. she felt alarmed by the progression of her life since the past two months he had been a wild roller coaster ride for her both emotionally and psychologically. two months ago, the highlights of her day would have been a new business deal or proposal all he knew post Lucas's in social media feed but now, she was learning about mental deficiencies, avoiding calls and expecting unwanted guest. like that time Trevor showed in her house around 2 o'clock in the morning with blood on the his sky blue button up shirt (shudder) the horror. all she wants is for all this craziness to end and soon.

"Grace..Grace! earth to Grace"

"huh?" grace finally remembered where she was "oh.. I'm sorry, I got lost in my own thoughts"

"we noticed" Maya sassed

" as I was saying all you have to do is pretend to be utterly smitten by him. he thinks he's in love with you and wants you to love him back but when you do, his infatuation is most likely to vanish"

'most likely?' grace couldn't bring herself to point out that 'most likely' is only a forty percent possibility. beggars can't be choosers if its love Trevor wants, its love he's going to get. he's going to receive so much love that he would want to puke

they had finally found a possible solution and she would try have best to make sure it works

For her brother's sake.
