A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Mark stared at Tina quietly and the disappointment was evident on his face.

Tina was disoriented by Mark's slap, but when she slowly came to her senses. She began to laugh hysterically. "Mark, don't you think you're being too dramatic? Love? What's that?" she taunted.

Repulsed, Mark pursed his lips, as he did not bother to give her an answer.

Suddenly, Tina's face transformed, as if she had finally discarded all her masks and disguises. "Do you really believe that you can control me? Give me what I want, or else, get out of my sight!" Tina yelled.

"I am not going anywhere," Mark said calmly, "Try to calm down, Tina."

"How can I calm down? My inside is going crazy right now! You and everyone else are driving me mad!" she cried out. Suddenly, a bolt of white hot lightning crackled against the black sky, illuminating Tina's wide-eyed, ugly face, as she appeared like a terrifying beast emerging from the half-light of the encroaching night.

Mark turned around to pick up a box of withdrawal pills and said, "Here, take this! This will help with the pain for now."

Tina knocked down the box and screamed, "Get out!"

Disheartened, Mark bent down silently and picked up the box. He opened the lid, took out one pill and put it in his mouth.

Before Tina knew it, Mark pulled her face close and kissed her with raw intensity. The first moan escaped Tina's lips. Their tongues entwined, and he sent the bitter pill into her mouth.

By the time Mark pulled away, Tina was breathless, gasping for air. The pill was long gone, swallowed by Tina.

However, the withdrawal pill was not strong enough to suppress Tina's pain, as she began to curse Jacob and Emily like a madwoman.

However, she never mentioned Mark, as he had never been important enough to her. She did not even want to hate him...

This was going to be another sleepless night.
