Shadows of the Past SOMETHING SPECIAL
KevinThe bar, for me, was like a place of refuge, an escape, but also the best place to close deals. I had created this place to make my partners feel they were welcomed into the room with open arms. The atmosphere that greeted them should be a promise of a night full of adventure and unforgettable experiences.In the room, the light spread diffusely, creating an atmosphere of mystery. The chandeliers emitted a warm light that embraced the room with an enigmatic aura, outlining vague shadows and silhouettes on the walls. It seemed as if the space was shrouded in a veil of unanswered questions, and the soft light played discreetly with every corner and every object, as if staging a dance of shapes and shadows. The sound of music, muffled and rhythmic, filled the room, heightening the already palpable tension. The subtle smell of alcohol and tobacco hung in the air, adding a touch of decadence and excess to the atmosphere of the room.“WOW! I’ve seen nothing like this in anyone. I don’
Shadows of the Past A SUCCESSFUL DAY
Kevin“Hey! Are we toasting or not?” Luke’s voice was so excited. He was in a good mood and that was because of Carla.As Luke spoke, a subtle smile played on my lips, masked beneath my calm appearance. His gaze, however, seemed to pierce beyond words.“Here’s to a successful day. Today I got two very important contracts for my business,” I told him with a smile.“Two?” Luke asked me in wonder.“Yes! The next contract we’ll be celebrating on the fine, hot sand of Blue Wave Resort,” I said enthusiastically, grinning. Our eyes met for a few seconds.As the tension grew, our eyes met in a silent struggle. Behind my wry smile lurked an iron resolve to never be defeated, and Luke felt his confidence slip through his fingers.“You’ll be my guest, dear Kevin. Last night when I talked to the salesman, he told me that seventy percent I would get the contract,” Luke said, trying to intimidate me. His eyes were alert to my reaction, hoping he would catch me off guard.“Wrong Luke. I’ve just been
Shadows of the Past LIFE AS A COUPLE
OliviaI was proud of our success. The information we gained was invaluable. We knew it was going to get easier to catch Kevin.The evening went well. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in such a good and optimistic mood. It turned out that Frank and I could work together without taking our eyes off each other. The only thing that made me uneasy was the look on his face. It intimidated me, which pissed me off.I had mixed feelings when I was around him, and the fear that I might inadvertently betray those feelings haunted me. I loved Frank with all my heart, but my past made me fear rejection again. The memory of the past haunted me like a dark shadow.I couldn’t bear another rejection. The one in the past was enough to mark my existence. All my life I had in mind Eduard’s mocking laughter when I confessed my feelings to him. I should have realized then that a cocky boy like him, the star of the high school, couldn’t look at a withdrawn student who loved spending her free time in t
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
