I met a boy when he was eight years old. I never believed that the boy with the incredible blue eyes would be my future husband. We grew up and promised to have a life together, which happened. There was nothing to predict that something terrible would happen on my wedding day. Heartbroken, I now find myself at a crossroads. Should I continue with the wedding, respecting our prenuptial agreement? Should I leave him at the altar for having damaged our bond and trust as a couple? And what’s worse. Should I escape from him with a secret that will bind us together for life?
View MoreVicenzo Toussaint.With each passing day, I feel like Steph is moving further away from me. Maybe it’s just an assumption on my part, but there’s nothing that can take away the feeling that I’m losing her. She is extremely volatile, everything I say to her makes her angry and I honestly don’t know how to get to her. I don’t know how to approach her without her trying to rip my head off.It’s like Stephanie has put up an enormous wall separating her from me. I have always characterized myself as a self-confident man, however, this woman is my downfall. Since I met her, life has become a constant movement, always changing. I must be attentive all the time because I know that at any moment someone can take her away from me.Stephanie is one in a million. There is no quality about her I don’t love, even those that drive me crazy. I wouldn’t change any part of her. I love her just the way she is. Together with the girls, they have become my entire world. I would sacrifice my life to protec
Stephanie Toussaint.After hanging out with Matt during the afternoon, I returned home. Enzo was waiting for me, angry, in the office. Not wanting to argue with him again, I decided to take a nap, therefore; I headed without delay to the comfort of my room.Today it was Matt’s turn to pick up the kids, and we agreed he would return the girls at dinner time. That gave me exactly almost two hours to sleep and try to bury the dramas of my life, if only for a moment.I lay down on the bed and almost immediately, sleep came to me. It was like I was walking through the incredible vineyards of Italy. Everything around me was green, while the evening sun sheltered my bare shoulders. The view was simply extraordinary.Majestic mountains rose before me, while in the distance, an old house housed the laughter of children playing in the surroundings. A whisper in my ear brought me out of my shocked state. “I love you, dear.”I turned my face, and Matt was there. His black hair was disheveled by t
Stephanie Toussaint.When I felt Matt’s fingers on my chin, it sent a shiver down my spine. Feeling his perfume with wood tones, and seeing his incredible blue eyes staring at me, for a moment, I lost myself. I don’t know if it’s the pregnancy hormones or if it was really me, but at that moment, I wanted him.I wanted so much for him to kiss me, to take me in his arms, sit me on his desk and make love to me like he did years ago. Oh, how I wanted to feel his cock inside my pussy again! How I needed to see him leave marks on my skin, eyewitnesses that I belong to him!But what the fuck is wrong with me? Since when have I become unfaithful? This has to stop, Steph! Nothing good will come of all this. You are a MARRIED woman! You can’t go around hurting those around you. I can’t do to Enzo what Matt did to me.And there it was. The intrinsic reminder of what happened the day before my failed marriage. An infidelity so painful that, even though years have passed, it feels just as fresh. I
Matthew Anderson.Two weeks later.After a week of intense searching, Stephanie and I found the perfect school for the three children. In honor of me being able to get close to the girls, we agreed that we’ll take turns picking them up so I can spend time with them without scaring them away.A few days ago, Stephanie mentioned to me she wanted to go back to work, but Enzo got furious with her for telling me. Honestly, I don’t know what problems they both have, but I’m secretly glad they do. It may sound selfish, but my love for her has not diminished at all in all these years. It has only increased.Every day that I can spend a few minutes with her, talk to her, or just see her smile makes my day considerably better. I find myself smiling more and being nicer to everyone. She makes me be and want to be a better person.“Matt?”I shake my head, turn my chair and there I see her. Radiant, beautiful and perfect, stopped at the door with her smile on her face and her bright green eyes, lo
Stephanie Toussaint.Christian’s question stuck in my soul. Damn kids! I forgot how cruel they can be to those who are different from them. Thank God, I have never had these types of problems with the girls, since they know how to defend themselves. Most likely, if they were here, they would take revenge on the children who made Christian suffer.I hug him tighter, protecting him against my chest. I look up and tell Enzo, “Call Matt. He has to know this.”He sighs, nods silently, takes out his cell phone and calls Matt. The director quickly approaches me, saying, “But Mrs. Toussaint, there is no need to bother Matt with this.”I frown, enraged, as I say, “Are you serious? You, being an educator, don’t you consider this to be serious? That children tell him this is not childish or something about age. This makes up school abuse. I presume you have protocols to address these types of situations. Right?”The director widens his eyes and stammers a “Yes.”“Do you mind explaining them to m
Stephanie Toussaint.After the conversation I had with Matt, about what almost happened to him, and adding the stupid pregnancy hormones to that, I felt more confused than ever. It’s as if the years had not passed and the butterflies that I feel every time he is around have been reactivated.After I got home, I went out with Enzo to have our love affair. And as always, it was great. However, the little voice in the back of my head kept telling me how much I would like to feel Matt’s lips on mine again. What? What the fuck am I thinking? Get out of there, Stephanie! It’s just the hormones making me hornier than usual.I sigh, thinking about all this, as I look out the car window. “Babe, we’re here.” Enzo’s husky and velvety voice interrupts my thoughts.I look around and realize that we are indeed already at Saint George’s School. We get off. Enzo takes my hand, and we enter the building.It has ancient architecture, with fine finishes. In the hallways, you can see some children from a
Antonella Lombardo. Living under the shadow of a memory is as painful as being aware, every day, that you will never be the first. It’s frustrating to fall in love with a man who only sees you as his second choice. But that’s the way I love Matt. It may sound pathetic, I know. If my friends told me they would prefer to stay with the man despite knowing that their love is not returned, I would tell them they are idiots without self-love. Maybe it’s obsession or maybe it’s the prevailing desire not to fail, but I knew exactly what I was getting into when I accepted that drink the night we met. I knew that when he slept with me; he imagined he was with her. One night when we were in bed, he called me by her name. That was a low blow. Very low. I always wanted to meet him. Envy consumed me as I saw her radiant with happiness, planning her marriage with the man I knew was meant to be mine while browsing through the magazines. I was born to be Mrs. Anderson, not Stephanie. I drop my pen
Matthew Anderson.Having Stephanie so close to me made my heart race. She fainted in my arms and instead of asking for help, I wanted to keep her with me for a moment. I snuggled her in my lap while still stroking her hair and skin. I smell her scent, remembering how intoxicating it is.Having her so close to me makes me remember my life with her and how lucky I was to have her to myself for so many years. It’s funny to realize what you had until you lose it. I’ve always known how wonderful she is, but not being able to have her with me anymore only made me miss her even more. I am deeply in love with her! And most likely I will die loving her.But honestly, I don’t care. I’ve tried to rebuild my life in the arms of another woman and look how that turned out. Antonella wanted to kill Chris. And even if she denies it and there is no conclusive evidence against her, there will always be doubt. Apart from the fact that she left him forgotten in the park. All of this only makes the situat
Stephanie Toussaint.I stared at Matt in absolute shock. I can’t believe he already knows the girls are his, and he’s not mad. Actually, I cannot believe it. All this time, I formed an idea in my head that Matt was so immature and manipulative that he would do anything to do his bidding. It’s... a pleasant surprise, to tell the truth.I clear my throat and say, “Are you okay?”“Why wouldn’t I be? That’s wonderful news, Steph! I promise I will be the best dad the girls will ever have.”I sigh and tell him, “Matt, Enzo has been their dad all these years. They adore him. Don’t go against that because the girls are... stubborn. Imagine, they are our daughters.”I see him laugh as he says, “I can imagine how stubborn they can be. And I know Vicenzo has taken care of them. I promise I won’t get in the way of their relationship. I just want to meet them. Do they know about me?”“They know that they have a biological father, and they have their daddy, Vicenzo. The difference in how to name yo
