C3 Chapter 3

Tyler POV.

"..........Mr Tyler what do you think?" The mentioning of my name makes my head rise to meet Stacey's gaze, "Oh yeah I think it's a good offer.......what do you think Stacey?" i have no idea what's been talked about in this meeting, my mind is somewhere else. Ever since I found out about Valerie and Jordan, I haven't been in the right State of mind.

The meeting is over, we make our way to my office.

Stacey stops and stares at me. I can sense a lecture coming up, about the way I acted in meeting.

"Okay I'm going to say something as a friend and not as your secretary?" Stacey says.

"Uh-huh......what do you want to say?" I bet it's a lecture, cause my secretary loves lecturing me, I wonder if it's because she's seven years older than me.

She takes my hand, and rubs it softly.

"Go home you don't look so good," "I'll cancel all your appointments for today.......you need to get over what happened."

Yeah Stacey is right I should go home. My heart is still in shambles from what happened last week.

"If you want I can help you get over it.......we can go out tonight go to some clubs," Stacey says In a warm and inviting voice as we get in the elevator.

"Yeah, I haven't gon out clubbing for a while now," i smile at her, she leans her back on the cab wall, I move closer to her and give her a kiss on the lips.

Her lips are soft, almost silken, and pillowy against my own.

Stacey doesn't mind us getting intimate when she's not dating, and right now she's not dating.......I think.

Stacey has been working for Logan Industries for almost 6 years, she was my dad's secretary before he passed.

She's a good friend of mine, she's always been there for me and my whole family. whenever I need her.

"You go to the office I'll buy us lunch," Stacey says continuing through the hallway.

I enter my office, to my surprise I see......"Hey!" Valerie stands up from the sofa, "how are you?" She asks.

How do you think I'm doing?

"Valerie, what do you want? Please leave my office!" I try to sound as calmly as I can, I can feel my blood start to boil. I open the door for her to leave.

She looks at me, a bit of sadness in her eyes "I want to talk about things," She says guilty written on her face, or is she trying to play me. Again?

She steps a step closer to me.

"I don't want to talk about it Valerie it's over So just leave!" I heartedly say stepping back.

She always does this, whenever she does something like this and I tell her to leave me alone, she ignores me and she starts following me everywhere.

She takes a step closer to me, her eyes watering. "Can you give me another chance, I can't stop thinking about you I miss you."

"You mean like a 6th chance, you always do this Val! Six times that's how much you've done this to me, and I always forgive you.......but not this time," I calmly say, but I can feel my blood boil, just thinking about all the times she's cheated on me.

She steps a few steps closer to me, she takes my hand and she looks me in my eyes, "I'll change this time, for real and for you."

She always says that, and yet look at how things are here.

Stacey walks in, she glances at me and Stacey.

"I Forgot my purse," her finger pointing to her desk.

"Stop!" I say to Valerie getting her hands off me, "it's over."

I walk over to Stacey and grab her hand, "I'm with...... Stacey now."

I lie cause I know she's not going to leave. And me leaving the office is not going to help either she's just going to follow me, like she always does after she fucks up.

She glares at me and Stacey.

"Well you are gonna have to break up! Cause I'm you fiancee Tyler, and you promised grandma!" She says in a low and enraged tone. She grabs my collar and whispers in my ears, "You're mine Tyler, you have a day to end it......or I'll end it for you, like I always do." She says in a threatening voice.

She turns to Stacey, "You know what's good for you don't you Stacey?" She's gives me and Stacey a bad look, she angrily grabs her purse from the sofa, slams the door behind her as she leaves.

"So, she is a psycho? And I don't think anyone wants any beef with her!" Stacey says, glaring at me, "I'm leaving, you know I'm actually planning on living a long life? I wouldn't want to end up like Emma or Lisa! Wouldn't want to end up Dead. And you know, you know she did it! she's going to do anything to keep you to herself! And she eliminates everyone you get involved with" Stacey shouts in anger, opening the door, "I think I'll just be your secretary for now, it's good for the both of us, its safe.......did you see how she looked at me as if she wanted to hit me. Look you need to find a way to permanently end things with her or god knows what she is going to do to you! But first you need to tell her the truth, we are not together," She says leaving through the door.

I grab my jacket off the rack and leave the office to go home.

"Well, She had them killed and it's obvious to everyone but him," I hear Mila say that from the her room as i pass by to my room, "I'll call you later Phoebe!"

"Hi bro! You are back Already?"

Mila asks standing at her bedroom door as I'm about to enter my bedroom. I give her a little smile and enter my room without saying a thing.

I used to get mad when people would accuse Valerie of murdering my Two Ex's but after today, I'm starting to think people are right, I mean what she told me and how she acted before she left my office today, she even told me she'll "end it like she always does.

What does that even mean?

"Hey honey? Can I come in?" Mom says coming inside the bedroom. I don't notice her, cause my mind is somewhere else, I'm still trying to comprehend what Valerie told me. She threatened me, she said she'll end it like she always does.

What's that suppose to mean?

She takes a seat next to me, "Stacey called me, she told me about what happened in your office today........You have to permanently end things with her, look I didn't want to tell you this, but I have to for your own good."

"You think she did it, she is responsible for Lisa and Emma's murder?" I glance at her.

"Maybe she did, maybe she didn't we don't know that for sure," She sighs and then she continues, "Look I know you made a promise to your Grandmother that you're going to marry her but she is bad for you, if your Grandma was alive she'd tell you the same." She leaves my bedroom.

"I need to find out if she did it or not. I'm going to ask her about it?" I say to myself getting up from the bed and grabbing my car keys.
