Captive in the Dark by my Ex-husband 17
Blair was pregnant. I don't know why but that thought occupied my mind the whole day. She was pregnant and... who might be the father of her child?Nabrel...I can see how worried he was about Blair. He may have told me a lot of times that she was not his girlfriend, that's not what I'm seeing from their actions. They were more than that. And I'm sure of it.It's possible that they are not in a relationship but it's also possible that they have been doing it. People are normalizing that nowadays, right?But who am I to judge them? Could it be? That Nabrel is the father? No matter how I tried to erase that thought in my head, it just won't stop bugging me to destruction. Do I have to ask Nabrel about this? If he's the father? I won't be at peace until I find the truth. They are both of legal age. They are also graduating and surely, they have plans for their future. They are both endeavoring to become a successful engineer. And having a baby won't be a big problem for them... I was q

"Is Nabrel your boyfriend, Talianna? I saw you two talking to each other earlier this morning. And it seemed to be something serious."My gaze snapped up at Leigh. Her bag was already hanging on her shoulder, ready to leave. She was watching me with curious eyes."No," was all I could say."Oh, really? Why do I feel like you're lying?" she uttered in a cold voice, crossing her arms infront of her chest.Wait a damn minute. I thought we were already civil with each other? Why is she acting like this towards me again? And this is all about Nabrel! Again!"Why would I even lie? Nabrel is just my driver. Don't be too paranoid, Leigh." I chuckled.He stared at me through cruel eyes for a while before nodding her head slowly."That's good, then. We will get along with each other well." She smirked.All I could do was to furrow my brows."And you're not good for him. Well, he wouldn't want a condescending person like you." She shrugged, smiling tauntingly, as if she didn't care how those wor

"Talianna! Don't refuse! Here. You're drinking, right?" Leigh offered me a bottle of beer. I put my phone inside my bag. I stared at the beer for a moment before taking it with a heavy sigh. This will be the first time that I will be trying this kind of liquor. I usually drink red wine. I've never tried hard liquors.But when I was about to bring the beer in my lips, someone aggressively grabbed it from me. I gasped as I looked at the jerk who did it but I froze when I saw who it was.My eyes met Nabrel's murderous ones. His face was dark as he clenched his jaw tightly while looking at the people inside the hut. He furiously put down the beer on the table."N-Nabrel! You didn't tell us that you're coming!" Leigh uttered with surprise in her voice.Nabrel didn't say anything. His eyes went back to me. He looked really enraged. He bared his teeth in a grimace, his dark eyes were giving me a cold stare. He squinted at me through hardened eyes. "How many beers have you drunk already?" h

"Talianna..."I clearly heard a deep voice whispering that woke me up. Slowly, I opened my eyes. Nabrel's face was the first thing I saw. My head was resting on his chest as his arms wrapped around me.It felt nothing but... peace and home. "Nabrel?" I whispered softly. I closed my eyes when his lips brushed gently against my forehead."Sleep more. But I have to go now, Talianna. Your dad might see me," he whispered huskily.I looked around my surrounding. I was in my room and it was still dark. No trace of any sunrays. I think it was still dawn.I looked at Nabrel. He slept here?"You... slept here? Beside me?" My cheeks turned red.Obviously!I can't... believe it. It felt like it was very impossible. That's what I feel as my mind processed this whole situation. He smiled a bit and gently caressed my hair. "How would I able to leave if you can't even unwrap yourself from me?" There was a hint of amusement in his voice. He watched me through hooded eyes which were sparkling with

Nabrel:– I just got home. I'm so tired. Can I get a kiss?My forehead creased as a laugh escaped my throat. This man is so corny!- Gosh. You're crazy. Muah! Nabrel:– Delicious. Can I get another one, please.I rolled my eyes but I couldn't help but smile. – Behave. I know that you still have a lot of things to do. Start doing them now. I'm watching a movie.Nabrel:– Enjoy watching. I'll just finish these. I'll call you once I'm done. I love you.My breathing abruptly stopped. It was so sudden that I don't even know what to say or... what to feel. I didn't move. And I swear, I didn't even breathe. I don't know how long I've been staring at his message. My heart clenched, but it was the type of pain that I'd love to feel over and over. I didn't know this kind of pain was possible.It felt... amazing, it was as if my heart was slowly melting by the warmth spreaded across it.I could feel every single pound in my chest. I felt warmth in my heart and it beats louder than the crashin

After that argument with my Dad, I stayed in my room for hours. It feels so heavy to argue with him. That was the first time I've ever seen him so mad at me. He never raised his voice at me. Even if I almost maxed out my cards, he had never treated me like I'm a worthless daughter.. He lectures me about spending too much money but he never made me feel like I was nothing but a selfish daughter. Does being happy make us selfish? With Nabrel, I always feel the contentment and satisfaction. Even if it's just the two of us, my happiness is incomparable. I only find my peace in him. And I'm scare... I'm scared because I fell for him so hard to the point of doing anything just to be with him even if I have to neglect my own father.If we decide out of self-interest, is that a selfish act without considering other people, and you know that they won't be happy about your decision? Why do they always think that we are selfish just because we choose what makes up happy... just because we didn'

"Do you always watch that?" I asked softly. I can see that Linella was a bit shy to me so I tried to open a conversation for her to be comfortable.We were both silent when Nabrel left. I was sitting on their long couch while the girl was on the single-seater. She was pouting while her eyes were fixed on the screen. A local telenovela was playing there.She just nodded and gave me a small smile.I broke my gaze at her when I saw someone entered the living room. Senyel's eyes widened when he saw me before offering a big smirk. He was wearing a white jersey shirt and black jersey shorts. He was holding a ball while a small white towel was hanging on his shoulder."Oh! I didn't know you're here, Talianna. Did my brother finally ask you to live with him?" He laughed.My brows furrowed. "What do you mean?" He just shrugged his shoulders. He went to his little sister and he kissed her hair before turning to me. "Have you eaten? My brother cooked fish in coconut milk. You should try it," h

That's all I was asking for. That's all what I wanted to happen and now it's finally on my grasp. I don't know what made my father changed his perception about Nabrel and I but I couldn't ask for more...Last night, I invited Nabrel for dinner. Everything turned out well. Even it was just the three of us surrounding with a lot of foods on the table that my father asked our maids to cook, it filled my heart with so much happiness.Despite of Nabrel's nervousness, I could see that he was trying to get along with my Dad. When I told him that my dad was inviting him for dinner, he immediately refused. I do understand his reaction. But eventually, I was able to convince him."I just feel so ashamed, Talianna. I do not have anything to offer to your father. I still have to wait for my salary next week," he
