Shadows of the Past WHY MY LOVE?
EMILY“I, Kevin, take you, Emily Smith, to be my wife and promise to be faithful to you in all circumstances, happy or unhappy, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish you all the days of my life.”“I, Emily, take you, Kevin Parker, to be my husband, and I promise to be faithful to you in all circumstances, happy or unhappy, in sickness or in health, to love and respect you all the days of my life.”“May God, in His goodness, strengthen this consent which you have given before the Church, and may He be pleased to fulfill His blessing in you. What God unites, let not man separate,” said the priest. Emotions overwhelmed me to the limit and two crystal clear tears rolled down my already flushed cheeks.The kiss at the end of the service was the most wonderful moment of my life. That was the sweetest kiss he had ever given me, and that was because from that moment on I was his forever. It was the happiest day of my life. Like every girl I had long dreamed of this day, when we swo
Shadows of the Past MAKE HIM PAY
OLIVIALook how quickly time passed and how some of what I set out to do I failed to accomplish. I tried to stop Emily’s wedding, but I couldn’t. There was nothing I could have done to warn her about anything. Things would have escalated for the worse and if Kevin found out about our plans, the chances of catching him would have evaporated. Whether it suited me, today I had to watch my sister marry the most dreaded gangster and I couldn’t do anything about it. It gave me a toast to the most dangerous people in society. I was dreaming of a time when they were all caught and locked up, but I certainly still had a long way to go before I got to see my dream come true. It was hard enough seeing Emily surrounded by so many dangerous people without me being able to protect her. It was the hardest day of my career. After such a tense day, the only thing I wanted was to curl up in my comfy bed and get my thoughts in order. And look how instead of planning my next steps, my thoughts w
Shadows of the Past MOVING TOO FAST
EMILYAnother boring day followed, with my mother giving me her endless lectures. She supposedly had my best interests at heart, but when I needed her, she was always at work. Even when I had my first book out, she ignored me and said I was better off working at the firm with my sister. After all this time, she was happy and proud of me and my success, but that was not because she finally thought I had made it in life, but because they praised her in society not only for her success but also for my achievements.Ever since I found the two of them in bed on my wedding night, I felt like my life was over. My mother just sat there with her words on me, whining worse than me, saying I was ruining her reputation at work, as if I felt fine that as soon as I said “I do” I found out I married a jerk. She kept telling me I should just close my eyes and get on with my marriage. I wasn’t surprised. My mother always cared about what people said and not about us, her children. Since my father's d
Shadows of the Past A NEW BEGINNING
EMILYI didn’t exchange a word on the road with Olivia. I just sat here, losing myself in painful thoughts. That shocking scene came back to my mind again and again, like a broken record. But I woke up from my reverie when we stopped in front of my sister’s house. She was waiting for me with little Eduard who, as soon as he saw me, jumped into my arms. The smile and the warmth that this little angel, whom I love sincerely, gave me, relieved a little of the anxiety I felt when I saw they had deceived me. I had to admit that I missed him very much, so I quickly let go of my anger and enjoyed that sweet little boy. Although he was only a year old, he knew me very well and loved me very much. I spent a lot of time with him from the moment he was born until I shut myself off from everyone because of Kevin.As I gazed warmly at him and kissed his plump, fluffy cheeks, my little prince, he handed me an envelope. I took it looking in wonder at Olivia, my sister Gaby and my mother who was sl
Shadows of the Past ANOTHER PARKER
EMILY“Excuse me! Are you all right?” he asked me.I answered nothing to that crazy man who ran through such crowded places without paying attention. I glared at him and refused the hand he held out to help me up. Just wanted to sink into the ground in shame and slap him for embarrassing me. Everyone looked at me like an actor playing a role. Only it was an uncomfortable role for me and funny for them. My underwear got scattered everywhere, like it was on display.I stood up and instead of getting angrier and angrier, his athletic body and glowing face caught my attention. His blue eyes looked at me so intently, sending a shiver down my spine. He was a tall man with hair like the color of gold. Through his tight white shirt, I could see his well-defined chest and powerful arms. He looked at me more closely and asked, worried.“Emily Smith?”“Yes,” I replied.He studied me from head to toe for a few seconds, then stopped his gaze at my generous cleavage. I could have sworn he knew me f
Shadows of the Past HOME
EMILY I looked around and saw that I was alone. Just me and the beautiful nature. I got convinced the driver who brought me here had left. A swim in the sea was what I needed. I stripped off my clothes and plunged naked into the sea, that comforted me with its foaming waves. I loved swimming naked. On all the holidays I spent with Kevin in the beginning, we only went to deserted beaches where we swam naked. We were having fun and just loving each other. Or at least that’s what I wanted to believe, that we loved each other. After a while Susan started coming with us and the fun wasn’t the same. Now, after a long time, I swam and let go of all the craziness and suffering I had been through. I swam and felt the venom I had built up in my soul being taken by the waves of the sea and carried far out into the open blue. I felt that this was the place where I could rise from the ashes and build a future just for me as I dreamed it and could finally do whatever I wanted without
Shadows of the Past PARADISE HAS AN ANGEL
EMILYI turned my attention to the glass door that led directly out onto the terrace of the house. I quickly grabbed something on and ran to inspect the outside of the house as well. As I stepped out onto a huge patio, I realized it had a sofa and two bamboo armchairs, a bar stocked with all kinds of drinks I’d never seen before. On the left side of the terrace was a huge, lighted swimming pool, a few sun chairs, and canopies. At the front, if you went down a few steps, you would go straight to the beach. The right side took me out onto a green lawn that embraced the pathway leading from the house to the exit, then stretched merrily for dozens of yards. Colorful flowers spilled from every planter, set on ornaments that were more and more exquisite. In the middle of the lawn was a hot tub surrounded by bushy trees.I felt like I was in a fairy tale of princes and princesses. It was like I had escaped the harsh reality and found myself in a paradise full of flowers and joy.I was tire
Shadows of the Past YOU HATE HER!
MIKEOh, my goodness! What did I do wrong? I’d been working with her for a year, the very person I hated so much. She seemed like a madwoman. She was the typical woman with money who had the world at her feet and thought even she could buy life. I refused to think about what my father’s hard-earned fortune was being spent on. Yet when I first saw her, for a second, I felt as if the world beyond had merged with our world and she held me in her arms again and kissed me with that mad passion that only she had. God, how I missed her caresses, her tenderness and gentleness. She was so pure, fragile on the surface, but stronger than anyone could have imagined. After all these years, I still missed her purity and kindness. How was it possible that she was so much like her? I was sure she was that woman. When I was in a coma, my brother called her name. I couldn’t explain how I could hear everything that was being said around me, but I could hear the doctors saying that they didn’t give me
