Dana
Demian turned around, waiting for me to say something. He crossed his arms.
"What? What do you have to tell me?"
I almost told him the truth, but something inside me screamed that it wasn't right. Something inside me begged me not to. So I remained silent and looked at him. Immediately, I felt guilty because I couldn't keep hiding from Demian that we were going to be parents together. I couldn't carry that weight for the rest of my life. But maybe the time to talk wasn't then.
We were both angry with each other. We shot daggers with our eyes. We felt resentment. Each of us had our own reasons, but we agreed that we didn't like each other.
He looked at me impatiently.
"Are you going to speak or should I leave?"
"Leave," I requested. "I have nothing to say to you," I finished and turned around. I went back to bed.
Demian scanned me with his eyes and sighed. He looked so handsome. I wanted to run and hug him. My heart couldn't understand why he did what he did. Why did he do this to me? I almost lost control and ran to beg for his forgiveness, but I wasn't to blame for any of what happened.
He left.
Hours later, I received a message from Demian that left me confused. He asked me to meet him in the parking lot near a park. A parking lot? Demian said he wanted us to sort things out privately. What did he mean by sorting things out?
Without asking too many questions, I went to the place he mentioned. I waited for him in the parking lot, just as he asked. I felt strange, but I had hope that Demian had opened his eyes. My heart was racing.
But minutes passed and Demian didn't arrive.
A black van rushed into the parking lot and almost hit me. I fell to the ground and thought of my children. I feared the fall might hurt them. Some guys got out of the van and roughly lifted me from the ground. I couldn't see their faces. I couldn't even fight back because they were too strong. They put me in the van and closed the door.
I wanted to fight. I was a werewolf. I had the strength to deal with them. But I fell asleep. They drugged me.
When I opened my eyes, I blinked several times to return my vision to normal. I felt dizzy and tired. I looked around slowly. I didn't know that dark and cold place.
I felt my hands tied behind my back and I panicked. I remembered what happened.
"Oh no... Help! Please, help me!" I screamed desperately.
I tried to break the ropes, but I couldn't.
"Don't bother screaming, because no one will hear you here."
The sound of her heels hitting the floor made me understand who it was. For a second, I thought this was Demian's doing, but he couldn't do something like this to me. Demian deceived me and betrayed me. He behaved like an idiot and broke my heart, but he wouldn't make me suffer like this.
It was Rachel. She lured me to the parking lot pretending to be Demian.
Rachel appeared in front of me.
"Surprise, dear little sister!" she showed me her evil smile.
"You... You were the one who lured me to the parking lot. Demian knew nothing about this."
"You have to admit you're foolish to believe that Demian would ask you to meet him in a parking lot. Please, Dana. I thought you were smarter than that. But you made it easy for me. Your desperation worked against you. What did you think? Did you really think Demian would genuinely apologize to you? Fix things?" she laughed loudly. "He's mine now, dear!"
I never thought Rachel was capable of doing something like this. She kidnapped me. After stealing my husband, she planned my abduction. We never got along, but I never thought her mental health was so affected to do this to me. I was her sister.
"You're my sister," tears escaped from my eyes. "Why are you doing this to me? What did I do to you? I know we never liked each other, but I love you, Rachel. We grew up together."
"You love me?" she laughed again. But suddenly, her smile disappeared, and she looked at me seriously.
I felt afraid of Rachel.
I feared for my life and the lives of my children. My children meant everything to me. Every passing second, I fell more in love with my pregnancy. I loved them. I couldn't allow that damn lunatic to hurt them. Fortunately for me, Rachel had no idea about it.
"I never loved you, Dana. You're a burden to me in the family and I should kill you right now," she took out a gun from her pants and pointed it at my head.
The world stopped for me. My heart almost jumped out of my chest.
"No, please! Don't do this to me! I'll do whatever you want, but don't kill me!" I pleaded.
She smiled.
"Of course, you'll do what I order, Dana. I want you to leave the city soon. I'll give you a few days to do it. And if you don't, I'll kill you and them..." Carla looked at my belly.
Wait a minute. Did she know? Did she know about my children?
I felt terrified.
"Yes, Dana. I know the truth. You can't trust anyone these days, right? Your doctor betrayed you with me. Do you realize? I always win."
"I don't know what you're talking about," I pretended.
"It won't help you to pretend, Dana. You're pregnant with twins. So listen to me well, little sister," she grabbed my hair and got closer to my face. "Demian is mine. I don't want you to ever go near him. Demian will never know about your children, understood? You'll leave the city and never come back."
"Or what?" I challenged her, but I knew it was a mistake.
"I won't hesitate to kill you. Nor your children, bitch."
Dana Her words dumbfounded me. "Are you capable of threatening me with death? What happened to you, Rachel?" "I can kill you. I don't want you to get in my way or Demian's. We will start a family and get married." Married? Did he already propose to her? I felt a pang in my heart. I didn't want Demian to marry her. He was the love of my life. I thought of Rachel's son. The three-year-old boy. "Have you understood, Dana?" She pulled my hair harder. I groaned in pain and let out a scream. "Yes! I understood! Let me go!" Rachel let go of me abruptly. I felt humiliated by her. "You better keep your promise. Don't make me shoot you. You have no idea what I'm capable of," Rachel reminded me. After all this, I think I did realize what Rachel was capable of. Rachel gave me a superior smile and turned around to leave. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to ask her questions, but the doubt was killing me. I needed to know. Could she lie to Demian about the paternity of her child? "Is it tru
Dana I picked up the bags with my belongings and got up from the floor. Rachel's gaze was still fixed on me. I wanted to say so many things to her, but I had to swallow my words. If she truly got enraged, Rachel wouldn't hesitate to hit me or harm me. Her crazy look made that clear. I almost ran to the door with tears in my eyes. I was tired of the injustice that permeated my life. I had to go to the hospital to get checked because I was afraid for my babies. Fortunately, everything was fine, but they wanted to admit me for a day to make sure. I had to refuse, even though I knew it was the right thing to do. If I didn't leave, Rachel would kill me. I had to buy a suitcase for the trip and went to see my mother. She had no idea what had happened in my life, and I didn't plan to tell her the truth. Mom would have a heart attack and would go to kill Demian if she found out. Mom suffered too much when my father left her for Rachel's mother. I decided to take the example my mother ga
DanaI entered a bar. I saw they were looking for someone to work serving drinks. I was never good with drinks since I wasn't used to drinking, so I had no idea about the types of alcohol or how to prepare them. However, I wanted to have a job. I needed it. A girl attended to me. "We haven't opened yet, dear," she kindly informed me. "I didn't come to drink anything. I came to look for a job. I saw the sign at the entrance and wanted to try my luck here." "Do you have experience with drinks?" "No," I made a face. "Then, I don't think you'd be suitable for the job. They're looking for a bartender. Besides, the boss wants to hire a man." I felt disappointed. I knew my job search had just begun, but I felt desperate. The money I had saved wouldn't last me a lifetime. Demian took everything from me. "Is there someone I can talk to? I'm not an expert in drinks, but I learn fast. Please, I need a chance." The girl made a face. "I'm sorry, but I'm not the bar owner, so I can't make
Demian Leaving Dana has been a very tough decision, but I was forced to do it after finding out what she did. After what Rachel told me about my wife, I was surprised by the woman I had married. I never thought Dana would be capable of keeping me away from our three-year-old son and threatening her stepsister. But that's what she did. So, I had to decide to leave her and found solace in Rachel's arms when I found out her son was also mine. When I saw Rachel's pain over what happened, I was deeply moved. I decided to protect her. Before I knew it, I had fallen in love with Rachel again and found myself in a secret relationship. I didn't like being cruel to people; I've been tough and treated Dana coldly with my actions. My hurting heart couldn't act any other way. It's been two months since Dana and I parted ways, and I haven't stopped thinking about the day I rejected my ex-wife. I don't understand why Dana didn't beg me to stay with her. Why did she agree to leave without asking f
Dana Two months have passed since Demian and I divorced. My belly was growing naturally, and the thought of someone finding out terrified me. The idea of Demian finding out through Jeremy terrified me. Jeremy and I had grown closer, but I still didn't feel completely trusting of him. Jeremy swore he was no longer friends with Demian, but I couldn't believe him. The person I trusted the most was Demian, and he betrayed me with my stepsister. Why would I believe Jeremy? Yet, he was so kind to me. Since I was hired at the cafe thanks to him Jeremy hadn't left the city. I knew he had too much work in the city where he currently resided, but Jeremy refused to leave because he wanted to be near me. There was a knock on my apartment door. It was Jeremy. I smiled at him. "And those roses?" I asked, seeing him with a bouquet. "They're for you," he offered them. "I know you like roses. I saw them on my way and felt like buying them for you. Plus, they'll serve for what I have to tell you.
Dana Jeremy left for the airport hours later. My work schedule started soon, so I got ready to go down to the cafe. I was lucky that Jeremy got me an apartment above my workplace. It was comfortable, and I didn't have to worry about commuting in the city. Now I understand that Jeremy helped me so much because of the love he felt for me. I always felt strange about the attention he had for me, but today I learned the reason. He was in love with me. I never realized it. Demian never told me. I didn't even notice that they stopped being friends because of it. The most surprising thing of all is that Jeremy discovered my pregnancy and didn't say anything about it. He respected my silence and didn't pressure me to tell the truth. My shoulders had one less burden to carry. I felt relieved to talk to Jeremy about my children because it was tough to hide my belly from him. Eventually, he would find out, and he did. Jeremy asked me to be his girlfriend. I told him I would think about it, b
DanaI knew Demian wouldn't stop asking about our kids. I tried to steer the conversation away, but I know he was very clear about why he came to see me. I have no idea how he found out, but he did and that was a big problem.I panicked, but I tried to calm down so he wouldn't notice my desperation.Seeing those eyes brought back a thousand memories from the past. Seeing him shocked me. I had never gone so long without seeing Demian, but after the divorce, everything changed. It was inevitable to think about how much I loved him. But I couldn't dwell on his beauty and memories. The past no longer existed.There was a knock on the door. I felt a pinch of relief because it was my way of getting rid of Demian. However, my werewolf senses detected the scent of a perfume I knew well: Jeremy's perfume.I didn't know what to do. Should I open the door? If I did, Demian would realize that his ex-best friend was here. I didn't owe him anything, but I knew it could create a conflict between the
DemianAfter knowing the truth, I knew I couldn't stand idly by. I had to find Dana and confront her for what she did. I was so furious and desperate to see her and tell her so many things. The anger consumed me.I thought about Rachel. She wouldn't like the idea of me being the father of Dana's children, but it was reality. Rachel deserved to know the truth at some point and support me on this journey, as it wasn't easy. However, the idea of being a father wasn't repulsive to me, but rather how recklessly Dana acted.What kind of person hides their children? Dana had no right!I had to lie to Rachel, telling her I had a work trip tomorrow. She didn't suspect anything but insisted on coming with me. I tried to convince her not to, but I couldn't. Rachel and I traveled to Kansas. She couldn't know what I would do.When we landed in the city, I felt nervous. I had the address of the café where Dana worked. Seeing her after all this time made my heart race. I missed her so much, but I fe
