Robin stared at her mother, bewildered by the sudden behaviour she screamed for her to step aside and allow her to get through.
"Mom, move"
"No"
"Mom!"
She remained silent, refusing to move. Having had enough of her stubbornness Robin pushed her mom to the side, tumbling to the floor she began crying out in pain. Rolling her eyes at her overly dramatic mother she pushed the doors open.
Waking into the room she heard the strange noises from before louder now that she was inside. Listening more closely to the sounds she could clearly tell that they were moans.
No.No.No.No
Pushing the doors open she froze in place. Her breath caught in her throat at the sight before her.
"R-Robin, what are you doing here?"
Victor asked while trying to cover himself with the sheets. His hair was a mess as if someone was repeatedly running their hands through them. The thick smell of sex covered the place and she knew exactly just what he was doing in there.
"Robin I can explain."
Looking at the woman beside him she saw her sister smirking in delight, barely making an effort to cover herself. Soon her mother ran into the room and began scolding her.
"I told you not to come in here but you didn't listen and now you had to see this with your own eyes"
"Ma, I thought you were keeping her busy in her room"
"I know sweetheart but she was gone before I got there"
Marcey rolled her eyes at her mother seemingly disappointed with her sister finding out. But she and Robin both knew that was not.
The whole while the two argued Robin found herself trapped in the room. It felt like she was not in her own body, the voices felt like they were far away a mere whisper in the background.
She was taken out of her state when she felt herself being shaken. Looking up at the man standing before her she finally registered what happened and her heart shattered.
"Tell me, tell me this is fake. Please Victor just tell me this is a lie"
Tears lined her eyes threatening to fall as she asked the man she once loved. he only looked to the side unable to utter a single thing but the silence was enough.
Pushing the man away from her she backed away from all three. It was starting to make sense now, the late calls, the date cancels, the meetings with my sister on the premise of preparation for the wedding, all of it was adding up.
The realization of her fiance cheating on her with none other than her sister was more than heartbreaking. It broke her and her spirit and shattered all the hopes she had for her future their future.
Turning from them she held her head in distress and began to giggle the giggles slowly rose to laughter with tears running down her cheeks. Her family looked at her at a loss for words. they could do nothing but stand there in awe.
Her laughter soon subsided after a few minutes. Heavily sighing out in satisfaction she turned to the people she used to call family. reaching to her back she grabbed a hold of her zipper, slowly pulling it down she began undressing.
Her entourage stood still in shock as they silently watched her dress fall in a heap on the ground. Kicking the gown aside she was left in her heels and white bodysuit she had prepared for her wedding night. Untying her hair she flipped it to the side and with a calm expression she said,
"The wedding's off"
Victor's eyes widened at her words but she did not care. Leaving her dress behind she walked out of the room.
On the other side of the building was a meeting of high executives taking place, the place was surrounded by men and women of great riches. A few news reporters came with invites and mingled with the rich.
Although the place was filled with men and women of all valours only one stole the attention of everyone. The main reason why as many people came as much as they did, was Ethan Acres.
The man was yet to enter the hall with everyone. He stood a bit away from the event place his long legs stretched with every strut. As he was making his way to the large hall he was stopped by the noise coming from his left.
Looking at the hallway to his side he saw a woman dressed in a white bodysuit, small ribbons decorating its sides. A man with nothing but a sheet wrapped around his waist closely followed behind her, his face frantic and desperate.
"Robin, wait please!"
Trying to grab at her arm Robin jerked it back furious she screamed at him.
"Leave me alone you disgusting, unfaithful little-"
"Disgusting? I am many things but that. If anything you are the disgusting one here"
Whipping her head back to face him she raised a brow at him.
"Excuse me? I'm not the one who cheated on me, with my sister!"
"Oh, please so what? Do you think you could find a man who could ever love a fat pig like you? You should be thankful that I was marrying you in the first place!"
Slap!
The sound of her hand colliding with his face rang out the hallway. She had a fierce look in her eyes, utterly disgusted at the man standing before her. This stranger.
"So, you believe that I can never get a man as great as you?"
Looking around her she turned and saw Ethan standing at the end of the hall his face slightly hidden by the shadows. With determination, she strutted toward the man and held him at the sides of his face. Before Ethan could react she pulled him down to her level and crashed her lips on his.
Confused by the act Ethan did not move out of her embrace instead he looked down at her and how she desperately moved her lips on his. Without thinking he wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her impossibly closer to his body.
Surprised by his act she jumped at his actions, her breath caught in her throat when he whispered in a deep seductive voice
"Open"
Though it was one word she could understand the meaning behind it and she complied. Opening her mouth he slipped his tongue into her cavern. Shivers ran down her spine at the hot feel of his tongue running against her upper palette.
In a nearby corner, the shimmering of a camera shined as a small click sound came from within the darkness.
A small moan involuntarily ran out her lips, the embarrassing sound snapping her out of it. She pushed the man off her, flustered at the sound she had just made. Ethan simply smirked at her, licking his lips as if he had just tasted a sweet confectionery. Robin blushed at his gesture.
"Wha-"
The sound of her now ex-fiance's voice broke her from his trance she looked at the distraught man and said in satisfaction,
"I guess I can be a desired woman after all"
Giving him one last look she glanced at the man standing next to her but quickly turned away to the exit.
As she left the building in a hurry she felt herself break from her fiance, her family, and everything she had with them.
Watching her silhouette disappear Ethan looked down at the half-naked man now slumped on the floor, his eyes empty as if he did not believe what he had just witnessed.
Ignoring the half-naked man on the floor Ethan simply walked away.
Climbing a mechanic staircase, Robin winced with each step. After her discharge from the hospital, she was made to take physical therapy since she had been lying in bed for so long. It was a bit odd for her to be relearning how to walk at her age, but she needed to get back to who she was before."Alright, Mrs Acres. That is it for today. You did a great job"Her trainer complimented ending the session. Smiling at him with relief she could not be happier to be finished. "Thank you, Seb. Especially for coming all the way here"Unstraping the belt around her waist she threw it aside before placing her hands on her waist in exhaustion. "That is no problem at all. Besides, who else can brag about being in the infamous house of the Ethan Acres? I'll be telling this story for generations"Laughing at the joke she held a hand up to her lips. While the two were busy laughing they did not notice someone else entering the room. "I see you two are enjoying yourselves"Surprised at the voice t
Walking through the familiar large door Robin looked back at the man helping her up the stairs. His expression was somewhat solemn and dare she assume sad. She had no idea just what went on during the past three months of her hospitalisation for him to have a drastic change. Though he had always shown kindness towards her, these days it seemed that he was being extra cautious and caring. Like the time he peeled her orange for her, or when he was constantly asking if she needed anything during their ride home. They were little things and yet they seemed so sweet. What took the cake was when he brought her a bouquet of her favourite flowers, daisies. Out of all the gifts she had received while at the hospital, his was the best of them all. Recalling the gesture she smiled to herself. As they made their way to the bedroom, Robin turned to the left side where her room was. "Where are you going?"Ethan asked with a scowl. She looked up at him in confusion before answering with the most
Groaning awake her eyes fluttered open. Blinking away the fuzzy cloud over her eyes she tried to bring her hand over to help relieve the strain in her eyes, but something prevented her from doing so. Looking over at her hand she saw a larger, much rougher hand desperately clinging to hers. Looking up to the owner of the hands she froze at the full, head of dark hair sitting atop the bed. Although his face was out of view she easily recognized the man. That familiar warmth his hand brought, the large frame hunched over with slow steep breaths rising and falling at each breath he took. How could she ever forget the man she fell so in love with?She sat that for a while just staring at his hair, a small smile hovering on her lips. She had no idea just how much time had passed but it did not matter to her. She could spend years just watching him sleep and would feel satisfied with that alone.Noticing his shoulders shake awake she remained still, only observing the way his muscles moved.
"Oh, my dear little flower!"In rushed a worried Jen with arms out wide in a hug. Opening her arms to welcome the embrace the two held onto each other. Breaking from the comfort Robin smiled up at her."Madame Pourrie, thank you for coming"A tired yet happy Robin said to the well-dressed woman. She wore a large fur coat with a frilling top and a tight long skirt, topped with a top hat tilted to the side. Robin chuckled to herself at the older woman. who else other than the Madame would dress in such a fancy manner?"Pish, posh child did I not tell you to stop calling me that?"She reprimanded the dark-haired woman, slapping her on the arm forgetting she was an active patient. "Madame! She's a sick patient. You can't just hit her like that!"Laurelyn yelled at the former lady as she rushed into the room before pushing her aside to tend to Robin. Gazing down at the poor young woman in her bed she gave her a look of concern as she rubbed her arm where the Madame hit her."Oh, my apolo
It's dark. I feel cold. My body feels heavy as if it's floating in the dark abyss of the ocean. What is this feeling? This lonely, stuffy feeling. I feel like I'm forgetting something. Or was it someone? Why can't I move my fingers, or wiggle my toes? Why can't I open my lips to speak? Ah, my eyes are heavy, I can't open them. Just... What is this?"I should have listened to you"Who is that? "Robin, please wake up. It's all my fault"Who is this person and why does their voice sound so familiar?"I'm so sorry."What are they sorry for? Do I know this person? "Even if you don't forgive me, I'll do whatever it takes for you to forgive me. Just please wake up"Forgive them? What could they have done that is deserving of my forgiveness? And what did they mean I should wake up? "Please, Robin."Wait, I feel like I know them somehow. The way they call my name, that low tone, that sends shivers done my spine. Wait, I think I know this person. What was their name again? Oh, I think it wa
Blankly looking up at the man before him for what felt like hours, Damien finally snapped out of his daze and without missing a note burst out laughing."Pfft, hahaha! Oh wow, to think it would be you of all people. What an unexpected turn of events"He spoke with a smirk as tears lined the corner of his eyes. To say he was surprised would be a lie, he had a hunch the very person who was retelling him of his offence in such leisure could be none other than the very husband of the woman he had wronged."Well, damn. Although I am a bit surprised at this I can't say I didn't see it coming. I mean, I'd also be jealous if my wife went out to meet her ex in a private setting like a restaurant."He grinned up at the male staring down at him. And that is all Ethan did, stare with a blank face. There was no sign of any emotion written on his face nor could there be any anger felt in the room. If anything he seemed calm and unbothered by Damien's taunting words. A bit too calm.But that did not
The septic smell of pure alcohol and medicine was so potent it could easily make one drowsy. Making his way past the white walls and waiting area with seats filled to the brim of patients waiting for their turn, a tired Alec stopped in front of a sickeningly white door. To his right written in bold black letters was a name tag. Mrs Acres.He sighed dropping his head to the floor before heaving a large breath. Raising his head he braced himself as he lifted a hand to the door.From the inside of the room, the sound of a gentle yet firm knock could be heard. The foreign sound is a contrast to the silent beeps of the monitor."Come in"Upon hearing the command Alec entered the room. Closing the door behind him the man orderly placed his hands in front. The bright yellow file in his hand stood out from the interior white walls. Everything inside seemed so artificial as though it was not even real, everything except the man sitting beside the bed, hunched over a small frame that laid still
Driving down the city streets the bright city lights flashed by like shooting stars. The different lights blurred together at the speed Ethan drove, making it seem like one was in the middle of a rainbow. Behind the wheel, the man knit his brows together in worry. Immediately after hearing about Robin's accident he hurriedly made his way down his car and drove without hesitance. It was as if his body moved on its own as before he knew it he was already behind the wheel and on the road. "Come on, get out of the way!"He growled at the driver ahead of him repeatedly beeping for them to speed up or get out of his way. His head was muddled up with all sorts of thoughts running through his head. His heart was racing faster than a horse on a race track and his mind could hardly keep up. At the hospital, a team of nurses rushed an injured and concussed Robin down to the operating room. Her eyes were bloodied and unfocused she could only make out the outlines of people surrounding her and
With his face to the side, a stinging sensation made its way through his cheek. He looked at Robin who only glared up at him with tears in her eyes before storming out of the room and slamming the door shut. with a hand on his cheek, he flexed his jaw to ease the sting in his cheek. Groaning in irritation he leaned back on his desk. Running a hand through his hair he swept the stray locks back only for them to slowly fall back over his forehead. Sighing he looked back to his tablet. Grabbing it he began going over the files Alec had gotten him about Damien.According to his findings, the man was a convicted felon with multiple charges of assault, robbery, breaking and entering. This guy had so many charges going as far as being caught selling drugs and being involved with some nasty people in the underworld. It seemed that he and Robin use to be in a relationship some years ago but it ended when he disappeared with some of her money. For some reason or another, he was back in the c
