Chapter: CHAPTER 135: EPILOGUEMy hands trailed on the rough skin on Bella's thigh with so much concentration that I didn't miss it when she flinched away. The loving and tenderness that I have spent the last one hour coaxing into her skin was gone. In its place was the rigid straightening of her spine and shoulders, an indication of how tense she suddenly became, almost as if she knew what was coming.The last six months we have been living in a bubble. I had accepted that it was okay for her not to say those three magical words that used to make my heart soar back to me, but lately it's been getting to me. Or maybe it's the way she never wants to talk about the 2 year gap in our relationship, or the baby we didn't know we had but lost. I want to know if she still secretly blames me for what happened. If every single time she sees the scars she hates me the way I do myself. I didn't mean to but I sighed loudly, my shoulder drooping before I rolled her body away from mine and got up padding softly to the bathroom

Chapter: CHAPTER 134: Home in his Arms."I'm really sorry for the part I played in this. Especially knowing that you saw everything that happened that night. We staged a ruse and didn't take you into consideration and for that I'm sorry. Luka is my friend, and all I want is for him to be happy. He means so much to me that's why I came here and I told you my side of the story, it's up to you now whether you believe it or not." Erica ended and got up to leave. I couldn't bring myself to nod or acknowledge her. She had shown me proof that she was after all in a relationship with someone then, who was a professor at their school and telling me this could put her in trouble but she had chosen to do it anyway. I don't know what I was expecting to feel when the 'proof' came, but I'm not sure it's this. If I don't have the usual anger or person to blame for all my predicament then where do I stand? What is this deflated feeling I have in my stomach? Like a balloon punctured at the far end. "Bella," Luka began after a whi

Chapter: CHAPTER 133: The Whole TruthThe ride down to Luka's place was one of the most uncomfortable rides I've ever had to endure. My reference to his trysts with other girls was like an elephant in the room. It made me irritated and angry but he looked sad and kept giving me glances which I acted like I wasn't aware of. It was a different apartment from the last one which came to me as a suprise. But what I didn't expect was to see a fur covered, energetic dog launch at me. It did occur to me to go back to the shelter and ask about her wellbeinh after I got out of the hospital but I always assumed she would have been adopted or have moved on without remembering who I was. The moment she saw me she barked loudly and ran to me, wagging her tail. She remembered me, and that made me so warm and happy inside. I spent the next few minutes sitting there on the floor of Luka's studio apartment recieving her licks and hugs and reciprocating her love with my belly rubs and hugs. It took a while before she went on to greet Luk

Chapter: CHAPTER 132: The House mate AgreementLife was slowly and steadily returning to normal. Did I cry alot after that phone call with Luka? Yes. Did I fight the urge to go to him and be sure he is okay concerning the pregnancy bombshell I dropped on him? Yes. Did I think he'll show up after that night and actually accept responsibility to apologize for the way every thing turned out? Again Yes. But he didn't. Somehow, whatever I said to him must have resounded with him because he stayed away just as I asked. And it took a while but I took a day at a time. I showed up to classes, I smiled when it was necessary and went to as much of the freshers parties I could go to while my therapist tried to make sure I didn't loose my mind. Day in day out, I told myself that now that I have confronted Luka with all the hurt and the pain, I didn't need to see him again and I was happy that he didn't show off so why was he here now and why did I feel the familiar warmth and twinge in my chest that was usually there whenever I was near h

Chapter: CHAPTER 131: Selfish BastardLUKAKnowledge isn't always power, it's sometimes pain. The kind that has you buckled over like you were kicked in the nuts. Nothing about this all consuming pain makes knowing about everything feel powerful. l feel powerless. With no single idea on how to fix this. My eyes burn and my wrist hurts from drawing and painting all day today. I also felt weak all over. When I drove down to Bella's dorm room last night all that was going on in my head was that I needed it not to be true. That there was a way out, a slim ray of hope that still gives me a redeemable chance but it had turned out to be the opposite of that. Not only had the details of what happened over the one year that I had stormed into my dad's office to get, found out to be true there were also more. Like a baby, a child between Bella and I that had miscarried. So much has happened, and I have no idea how I'm going to fix it. I haven't slept in almost 72hours. From the flight down home, to the flight back to going to

Chapter: CHAPTER 130: The Bitter TruthBELLA"Who is there?" I snapped. The loud noise coming from the person banging at the door repeatedly and forcefully echoed around my little room. "Who is there?" I called out even louder than earlier and was met with no response, just continuous, loud, pounding on the door. I thought about ignoring the person since they didn't answer me, and also because it was too late at night to be calling on someone since it was raining heavily. I grabbed my phone, "if you're not going to answer, I'm calling Campus security." The knocks and pounding stopped for a while after my threat and I heard the person curse out loudly in a strange language that wasn't totally foreign to me, since I knew the accent. Before I could come up with a solution, the loud knocks continued. I opened the door intent on giving the person a piece of my mind if it was who I thought it was and I was right. It was Luka. He was standing there soaking wet from the rain with his teeth chattering from cold and his eyes re

I watched as she fed my son, and I started to wonder how that tasted. “What?” She asked, squinting her eyes and I shrugged not looking away. “It tastes just like what I ate for the day most times. Sometimes sweet, or even salty.” I chuckled in amazement, “how do you know what I was thinking.” She only rolled her eyes, “ hello, I know you a little better each day.”The way the words rolled off her tongue just made me adjust in my chair, watching her breastfeed didn’t turn me on, but this turned me almost immediately.

It’s a present continuous forever tense. She smiled, her bloody red lips parting to reveal pearly white teeth that could have been fangs for all I care. Because she might look the same as years ago, barely aging on the surface but she was a blood sucking demon underneath. I took great care to school my expression into a mask so that she couldn’t tell how much she affected me. “It’s been ages.” She drawled. “You have less than a minute to say what it is you want to say. Once the Valet gets here and my car is outside, best believe I’m done with this conversation.” She sighed and dropped the mask and for a split second, I could see the woman I loved underneath the Botox and layers of makeup. The woman I gave my heart to for the first time. “Nik, I’m sorry.” Her eyes watered and I’m not sure if it was to trap me again. “Me too.” I whispe

Thank you. Thank you so much.” I repeated over and over kissing him all over the face. “It’s not a big deal, Peristeraki” he murmured, his face red from embarrassment. “Thank you, I love you.” I added without restraint. The words had already left my lips before it dawned on me what it was that I just said. I watched the man who went

She rubbed a shimmery oil on my exposed chest and shoulder and I curled the hair I left out to frame my face. The image that greeted me was one that had me humming in satisfaction. This was our first major date night since the twins were bornIt was my chance to be outside and be anything other than a mother. Nik was right, I haven’t been able to return to school and I underestimated what post Partum with two children was going to be like. I waited as she helped me slip on the strappy sandal heel I chose for the day and beamed again in satisfaction at the entire result. The door was pushed open and my husband stepped in all dressed up in a tux with our daughter on his hip, and the surprise of my look was ruined but the look on his face was good enough. “Oh, Mrs Stavros, you look ravishing.” He added a wink that made me bloom under
