I stared at her nervous face for a while before asking, “About sex?”

Her eyes widened immediately. “Gosh no!”

I burst into laughter and she joined me instantly. “Oh my God, Patricia you’re so straightforward.”

I giggled. “You think so?”

“Stop it.” Her face flushed even deeper. “Anyway that’s not it. I just want simple marriage advice from a friend, and you’v

    EthanOne month agoI glanced around again, as Edmund rounded up on his story, but she was still nowhere to be seen. The party was ending, and the plan was to leave after this conversation, but Patricia was suddenly missing.“Is everything alright, Mr Price?”I replaced the frown and moved my attention back to the group. “Of course.”He nodded. “Then we’ll be hoping to hear from you soon.”“Definitely. It’s been a pleasure.”I was finally able to get away. I disliked these pretentious parties with a passion, but they still had to be attended. I got back to our table but there was no sign of her having been there.When did she leave? And why didn’t she say anything?I took my phone and called her as I marched out of the hall. Just like I dreaded, her line was unreachable. I checked her recent location, and it still showed this hotel althou

    PatriciaIt was only when I was done talking that my eyes stopped wandering and settled finally on Ethan’s. My hands were the ones shaking now that I was quiet. It hadn’t been an easy thing to do but if I hadn’t said it right now, I knew Ethan wasn’t going to give me another opportunity, and he had been more than patient. My entire being was drenched in shame as I looked at my husband, trying to decipher his reaction, but at the same time, I was relieved.Ethan didn’t move from where he stood. He was livid, a sheen of liquid in his eyes. They were more of a tell-tale of his ire, rather than a broken heart, and I hoped with every fibre in me that that emotion wasn’t directed at me. His jaws were tightly clenched as were his fists and I decided it was best if I waited for him to speak.But he didn’t.And the silence was pricking several pins into my skin.Before I could open my mouth, he exhaled loud

    PatriciaFlashback continued…“What are you doing?” my voice shook as I spoke. “Ethan… Ethan wouldn’t like this. At all.”He folded his hands, and that single action calmed me down a bit. At least his hands were away from me. “I thought we agreed not to talk about him tonight.”“Yeah, but this situation doesn’t look ideal…”I spoke too soon. He unfolded his arms and his hand was suddenly on my cheek. I chose to think he was wiping the remnant of my tears. After some seconds, his hand was still here, caressing my cheek. Either my temperature was rising rapidly, or the room was really hot.“If it’s that difficult for you, I can help you forget about him. Even if it’s only for tonight.”I did the smartest thing I could think of at that moment. I ducked away from his touch and burst into forced nervous laughter. &ldqu

    PatriciaFlashback continued…“Seriously what in the world could’ve possibly brought you here? What are the odds?” I stared at him wide-eyed, still in shock.“Who said it was a coincidence?” he smirked, using the deepest voice he could muster.“Oh my goodness, be serious for once.”He only laughed at me. “Sorry, sorry. My cousin invited me. It was an easy yes when I learned Ethan would be here, meaning you would be here.”“Oh,” I nodded in understanding. His cousin did work with Ethan. I had been so worked up that it hadn’t even crossed my mind. His mention of Ethan made me realise how lucky I was that he had popped up here. I needed someone to talk to. Even if it wasn’t about my husband. “Well I’m glad you’re here. This whole gala is really not my thing.”He nodded, scanning the room. “Where is Ethan?”My gaze dropped to my nails, feeling an 'I told you so' moment imminent. “He’s with his friends,” I

  • Passion in Broken Love   Fifty-Eight

    PatriciaFlashback“What are you still pouting about?” Ethan sighed, taking a turn out of our neighbourhood and onto the main road. I heard him loud and clear, but I still kept my gaze out the window, still frowning of course.“Patricia.”There with mentioning my full name again. I nearly rolled my eyes, but I didn’t want to escalate matters. I was attending his work party as his plus one, and I had to make sure I preserved the rest of the energy I had into looking nice for him, even though he clearly didn’t appreciate it. I wasn’t sure if I was blowing things out of proportion, but he clearly wasn’t making things better.“I already said sorry.”That got me to turn to him with my mouth of the floor of the car. “Sorry?”“Yeah.” He glanced at me. “So can we just move on and enjoy the night for once.”Sorry… move on… for once…Those words angered me even more than they were naturally supposed to. Every time I raised an issue with him, about him, I end up being the one who had to change,

    PatriciaHe smiled at me, so genuinely that a passerby would believe we were the best of friends. How could he always act so normal after everything? And what did he still want from me after how hostile I had been to him?“I’ve been looking for you everywhere. I thought you weren’t going to come.”“I didn’t,” I told him blankly. “I’m here for another event, not yours.”His smile faltered. “Oh, that’s why I didn’t see you.”“Yeah,” I nodded. “Now I have to go back before I’m missed.”His hand closed around my wrist, forcing me to face him once again. One look at his hand on me disturbed my composure. I yanked my hand away and narrowed my eyes. “Bryce…” I seethed. “I don’t want to talk to you. Okay?”“I understand, but don’t you realise where we are right now?”

    EthanMy eyes grew alert immediately. His words hit me hard like a brick thrown to my forehead. It was painful and scary. This entire time, I had never thought of the event of a divorce. It hadn’t come to mind even once.A life without Patricia. A life where I could see Nelly only on certain days o

    EthanTwo hours had already passed, but I was still sitting in the same place, in the driver’s seat of my car, not knowing what to feel. I was trying hard, really hard to convince myself that I could hold it all in, but I could only deceive myself for so long.Even though I said I wouldn’t, I was t

    PatriciaI rushed out of my office and ran down the hallway, ignoring the weird looks people shot in my direction.I found Jessica after some time at the normally isolated part of the office building, with her phone in her hand. I halted, frightened of what she was thinking of doing.“W-what are

    PatriciaFlashback- *two weeks ago*My hair was in a mess, just like my papers were. I had to submit my analysis report by the end of the day, but I couldn’t seem to concentrate. My mind kept going back to what I had done during the weekend. I still didn’t know why and how I had let that happen, bu
