NEW YORK CITY:

Judy had booked an appointment with Dr. Mathew whom she will be seeing in the next two hours. Meanwhile the business meeting was over and the clients had dispersed.

“Thank you so much Judy. ” Gideon told her with a bright smile after she had returned to the conference room. She nodded and feigned a smile then began clearing the documents on the table.

“I guess we are done for today. ” she said to Gideon after collecting all the documents in one file.

“Lunch? ” Gideon asked lifting his eye bro.

“Some other day. ” she quickly replied. “A cousin of mine showed up in town unexpectedly. I need to go pick her up from the airport immediately. ” she lied flipping her hair.

“Alright some other time then. ” Gideon replied. He tapped her shoulder and left while she shut her eyes and took deep breaths which she felt will calm her nerves.

“Come in. ” Dr. Mathew said to Judy after she gave a light knock on his door before pushing it open.

It was 3pm and time for her appointment.

“Sit Judy. ” he told her adjusting his spectacles which Judy always felt was too large for his face.

“My secretary said you needed to see me urgently. ” he said as Judy sat facing him.

Dr. Mathew closed the open file on his table and pulled out a pen and notepad from his drawer.

“I haven’t been seeing you in a while. You stopped coming. ” explained Dr. Mathew looking at Judy was looking at him too.

“I felt maybe we’ve made progress since then and when my secretary said you called, I had to ensure we see soonest. ” he said crossing his hands.

“The last time you were here was about a year ago Judy. ” he said after checking through the note pad.

“How are you? ” he quickly added then took off his glasses and placed it on the table.

“I’ve been good. ” Judy said staring at his white curtains.

“Are you sure? ” he inquired. “You are hitting your left leg on the floor repeatedly. ” he pointed out and Judy immediately stopped.

“Tell me how today went? ” he asked her placing the pen and notepad on the table.

“This woman. ” began Judy while stamping her leg on the floor again.

“She pissed me. She and this damn Fiona made me so mad. I wish I could smash their faces against the wall that instant. ” Judy revealed to Dr. Mathew and she burst out into a dry laugh.

Dr. Mathew, Judy’s therapist knew that laugh. During his sessions with Judy, she had laughed like that when she imagined the cruel things she could do to people.

“But you didn’t hurt them. Did you? ” he asked her casting his eyes on her.

She shook her head signaling no.

“Impressive. ” he said and quickly jotted down something.

“I can see we are making progress. ” he told her with a smile.

“I wish I could get rid of Catherine and that bitch Fiona for good. ” Judy professed demonstrating with her hands.

“Do you hate them that much? ” Dr. Mathew asked her calmly.

“I hate anyone who comes in my way. ” she blurted and broke into yet another laughter which made her sound like a psychopath.

“Deep breaths Judy.” Dr. Mathew said moving his palms up and down.

“When was the last time you had yoga? ” asked Dr. Mathew.

“I stopped doing that shit when i began feeling better. ” she replied in a harsh tone.

“What about your medications? Have you been taking those pills? ” he queried further and put back his spectacles.

“Why do I need some dumb medication when I can just handle people my way. ” boasted Just with her back on the chair.

“And what did we say about handling people? ” Dr. Mathew asked.

“We let them be Dr. Mathew. I get it. I walk away from anyone who pissed me off or anything am obsessed with. ” she said smiling which made Dr. Mathew wonder whether she was smiling genuinely.

“Who is Catherine and Fiona? ” he asked.

“Gideon’s mother is Catherine. Fiona is his fiancee. ” she replied hitting her left leg the more and staring all over the place.

“Gideon! ” Dr. Mathew called out.

“We agreed you were staying away from him right? ” he asked her opening his right palm widely.

“I couldn’t. ” Judy confessed and immediately stood up. “I just can’t stay away from that man. ” I want him and that’s it. ” she maintained.

“Does he want you? ” asked Dr. Mathew.

“I will make him like me. I can right? ” she asked Dr. Mathew seeking for an answer.

“I can’t lie to you Judy. I am here to help you. ” he said. “You can’t have what is not yours. ” he added and Judy immediately stood up scattered the whole content of his table aggressively.

“If I can’t have Gideon, No one else can. ” she thundered and went for the door.

“Listen Judy. You can’t afford to make the same mistake twice. It will haunt you later my dear. ” advised Dr. Mathew.

Judy pushed his door and stormed outside.

“Poor Judy. ” he muttered to himself.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

He knew his worst fears about her were coming true. She wouldn’t listen he thought and he bent over to pick his things which she had scattered across the office.

Judy left Dr. Matthew’s office and fell on her knees in a corner outside the building. She began to weep profusely.

She recalled her ordeal with Tonia. She had always considered Tom to be the love of her life back then in high school until she caught him kissing Tonia by the swimming pool. The image of that event kept haunting her till she could take it no more.

She told Dr. Mathew about it and he advised she stayed away from Tom and Tonia but the flashes of the kissing scene kept playing in her mind and when she saw Tonia sitting by the pool alone one day, she dragged her into the pull and almost drowned her to death. The security camera’s revealed the ordeal and the security on guards rushed to Tonia’s rescue.

Judy was later jailed for few years and later released on the grounds of Obsessive compulsive disorder. Since then, Dr. Mathew had advised her to stay away from anything or anyone she is obsessed with.
