I repeat this chapter will be read before "Just a dream"

One week later

Alyssa's POV:
Nothing quite changed between me and Ricardo, this past week was strange, our pretense marriage blew up like a bomb,

we were invited to many parties and stuff, I was living a grand life, with flower bouquets and expensive chocolates,

with branded clothes, exotic cars and cover pages, I placed the magazine back on the side table, I never really thought being famous would be so lonely and boring,

or maybe I feel it because I am an outsider, I had visited Maddy one time after the brunch, and then I woke up and saw myself as a cover girl standing with my pretend husband,

rocking the world with my perfect fake smile on some extravagant magazine, my life changed after that night I was no longer Alyssa Bloom,I was Alyssa Crawford aka the sweetheart of the heartthrob business tycoon Ricardo Crawford,

Nobody knew who the real Alyssa was, they just cherished the glimpses of the fake one pretending to be happy,

who at night mourned in silence over the grave of the 'old Alyssa', I miss her sometimes, but I know that she needed to die before this witch was born,

so I silently think about my present state, one good thing happened, I didn't see Carlos for a week and it was like a breath of fresh air,

what can I say more he was out for my blood, he is not the same Carlos I knew two years ago,

I think I killed him that day when I left, I am a murderer and I am guilty, I hanged an innocent man with my bare hands, not just any man, the one I used to love more than anything else in this world,

now Karma has brought him back to life,he is summoned by it and he will not rest until I do what I do best,

"disappear". My phone rang, "Hello", "Alyssa", it was Ricardo, "hmm",

"I want you to pack we are going home tonight", he said calmly, "okay, will do", "okay", the line ended, he doesn't converse with me anymore, he ignores me like hell,

he sometimes come and sleep at night but most of the time he doesn't, he never talks nor even look at me, just does his work and leave,

I am not sad about it, it just depresses me I guess, I feel so lonely in this house sometimes, I even feel like the world has forgotten me and I am locked up in some attic or something,

I feel really really lonely, but not for too long, when the year ends I will be free, I will disappear as if I never existed, I will never come back,

I am caught up in between a Crawford storm, rolling and rolling in between it, can't get out, someday my storm will end and a rainbow will be above my head,

my sorrows, my pain will all wither, but I will not bloom like a flower, I will rise like a phoenix because I will be destroyed completely,

I know that, when the year will end I will end with it, I know my war will begin when I step foot in the Crawford Residence, my dead bed awaits....

I was in my room when I heard a ting, elevator, who can that be?, I went out and saw Karma, he stood erect, glaring me down, what is he doing here,

"congratulations Misses Crawford, enjoying your honeymoon with your beloved husband", he spat in a low yet irony filled tone, he moved forward, I just stared at him, so much anger, so much hate,

"what are you doing here Carlos?", "I came to meet you Mrs Crawford", he hissed, he had a mocking smirk on,

"you met me now you can leave", "why in such a hurry, you used to love my visits", he mocked, my head was down now,

"don't be sad, Ricardo is so lucky to have you in his life", "Carlos please, stop it, can't you just leave me alone",

"I told you, I am not gonna stop until I destroy you completely",

"you won Carlos, please just end this, I can't take it anymore",

"I am just getting started Alyssa, I don't do fake threats, I meant every single word I said to you", he said with a smile, he removed a hair strand from my face,

I looked up, he was looking in my eyes, I could tell I saw the old Carlos in them, "I used to die for these eyes, I would have spread havoc for them, but now I hate them",

he spitted and looked at the ground in anger, I saw how broken he was, I made him into a monster. I was to be blamed for this evil deed,

I was to be punished hence I was and forever will be, I will die with this mark on my heart that I myself murdered my love,

a tear left my eye, I quickly wiped it away, "Carlos I know you are angry,  I know I deserve all your hate and wrath, I will take my punishment in silence with out protest", I whispered to him, he was looking at me,

"I have to go pack, Ricardo will come at 6:00, if you want to stay you can, if not it's okay, it's your choice", I went in my room, I was packing my stuff I saw him standing,leaning against the door, just observing,

there was nothing in between us now, we were acquaintances, "for a newly wed bride, you are quite off", I just continued to pack, he slowly came forward checking out the room,

"is Ricardo not fun to be with", he asked, I didn't answer, "or did he not pleased you in bed"  I looked at him,  he was observing me,

"he is a wonderful man, he cares for me, he laughs with me and on top he loves me and I love him, so stop pushing me to say something I don't want to say,  the only thing that is making me off is your presence", I spat in anger,

he was being a jerk, he smirked, "wow, your possessive, overly protected wife side, I wanted to see that, don't mess with her husband or else she will gauge out your eyeballs in anger"  he said in sarcasm, laughed at my face,

it was an evil laugh, then he grabbed my arms with force, I whimpered in pain, "Alyssa just wait and watch what I have in mind for you, I am gonna tear your soul apart, you think I will get jealous of you two, as far as I know Ricardo is really cold, in no time you will see his real face,

until then keep living in your fantasy, because when he is done with you. I will be standing on the other side with my weapons to devour you", he let me go with a thrust, I fell on the bed, he left.

I sat there in silence,he was right like always,he knew what Ricardo was like,I just don't know what to say anymore, my mind is blocked, so I started packing, maybe it will help me distract myself, but my mind had it's own plan, the action was on replay mode in my mind, I watched it a thousand times, what a messed up life I have, filled with drama and darkness,

When will I move past it, my mind replied, don't you remember he is just getting started,  "Right"
