Chapter: Don Lorenzo ArmaniCHAPTER 5*ALORA* Did he want more money perhaps?No!I can’t give him the chance to blackmail me! “Do not ever call this number again! Or else, I’ll have you taken care of.” I tried to sound as tough as possible.He burst into laughter.”Oh really?” “Fuck off!”With that, I hung up.What the hell?!Getting my number through God knows where.Doing a background check on me over a failed one-night-stand?The nerves of him! I jumped when my door was kicked open and Gael rushed in.He shut the door and glared at me. “So while I was away, you completely succeeded in brainwashing my family!”He accused. I sighed. “I…” “I am the heir to this family’s fortune, their first born! Why won’t they accept what I want?! Why do they keep looking out for you?!” “Your family are only worried about the election.” I replied, calmly. “No, this is all because of you!” “Will you stop blaming me for everything? They gave you a choice, didn’t they?

Chapter: A divorce CHAPTER 4*ALORA* “You punk!” Javier Torres roared as he punched Gael on the face. Javier was his father.The three of us had gotten home and Gael had just informed his family about Camila. “How could you do this to Aurora? You’re so shameless!”His mother, Julieta spat. “I don’t love her! Why should I keep being forced to be with someone I don’t love?” Gael shot back. “And you think this skank is a better replacement? If she could be with her best friend’s man, that alone should tell you that she isn’t a good person!” Camila burst into tears after those words.I sat there quietly watching the show.This was like a bigger eye opener for me, making me understand that Gael and I really needed a divorce. How can I continue to stay married to a man who didn’t want me at all? Now with a child in the question, though I was badly hurt, I do not want to be the reason why a child cannot have a complete family. “Camila is better than anyone in this r

Chapter: Without remorse CHAPTER 3*ALORA* Was love even real? I wondered as I drove to the airport. Gael and I had been all over each other since we were kids yet it was so easy for him to forget all that and get together with my best friend. I don’t think I could ever love again.There was absolutely nothing like true love.*************** I could never say no to Gael’s father, his mother and grandmother.They had been the people who really helped me when my mom passed. And I know they’d find out if I don’t go get Gael from the airport.I didn’t want them to be disappointed.I got to the airport and got out of the car. As much as I tried, there was a weird feeling of excitement at the thought of seeing him again.I swallowed.I looked up and saw him pushing his suitcase out of the terminal.He was wearing a white shirt and black suit pants, he was still so good-looking, his aura, elegant.When he saw me, his eyes darkened.My fist clenched and I reminded myself not to appear weak

Chapter: One-night-stand CHAPTER 2*ALORA* I was literally a mess for the rest of the day. I couldn’t bring myself to leave my bedroom. I cried my eyes out until they started to hurt. By evening, I was in bed, I was no longer crying now but a numb feeling had overtaken my body.I recalled Gael’s words. When he said that this was an open marriage. I didn’t accept that. I couldn’t bring myself to be involved with another man. But it seemed that he still had no problem screwing Camila. My fists clenched. Why should I continue to honor our marriage when he doesn’t care?! I stood up from the bed and marched up to the dresser.Sitting in front of it, I began to apply make up on my face. My eyes were still red so I got some prescribed eye-drops from my drawer and applied it on my eyes. Over the years I had cried a lot. I had cried a lot because I missed my husband. I had cried a lot because I missed the Gael who loved me. My eyes were always red and people would ask what was wrong with

Chapter: The other woman CHAPTER 1 *ALORA* “Gael will be returning home tonight. Go pick him up from the airport. I hope you two can finally be a normal couple now. " I sighed, heavily as I read that text from Gael’s father.He was coming back tonight?He didn't tell me. Well, then again, we barely spoke to each other. I sometimes texted and called him to check on him.But he doesn’t reply to my texts or ever answered my calls. We were still married though. Would we finally become a normal couple now?I was holding onto a glimpse of hope that we would. Gael’s father and my father were best friends. Their relationship was close and even when they got married to their wives, and had children, the two families became closer. From a very young age, I was told that I was the perfect match for him. When we were kids, we would play together, and even go on family vacations together. We were inseparable. Up until now, those were precious memories. In high school, Ga
