Shadows of the Past MY LIFE EXPOSED
MIKEAll the way to the cemetery, Emily remained silent. Although Olivia dropped her off at the front beside me, she refused and climbed in the back. I was pretty nervous. When this woman showed up, I felt emotions I thought had been buried when my wife died. I had no control over what my body did. My eyes darted to the rearview mirror, where I could see her sublime face. My hands were sweating more and more on the steering wheel. What I felt for her was different. It was stronger than those playful butterflies inside us. It was more tender than the purest flower. I was so passionately devoted that I would have fought anyone or anything just to see her beaming face.When we reached the cemetery, I caught her wandering gaze in the rearview mirror, but she didn’t ask. It was clear she was waiting for an explanation, an honest one from me. She was so shy and withdrawn. She acted like a frightened child pining in her mother’s protective shadow. I hated myself for being so stupid.“Come
Shadows of the Past BEYOND MY POWER
EMILY“Emily? I don’t understand? Did he know another girl, Emily? Olivia, what does she mean?” I asked her, surprised and scared at the same time. “I know nothing about that. God, what a man I loved!” said I, full of nerves. I could feel my insides seething. That wasn’t Kevin, the man I loved and would have given my life for. “Calm down and let him finish. Please be nice.” Olivia told me in a calm and friendly tone. “Yes, Emily, you’re right. For a long time, I thought you were a ruthless, soulless woman. To me, a woman who doesn’t soften when she sees another woman hurt is honestly a soulless monster. For a long time, I sought you out, wanting to get revenge on you for Mary and our baby. Only when I first saw you, everything went to hell. Your soft face, gentleness and demeanor gave me much to think about. My intuition told me you were not the coldhearted female I was seeking.” “Wait, a minute! You thought I was involved in that accident with Kevin? How dare you do
Shadows of the Past IT'LL BE OK
EMILY “I miscarried,” I told them through sobs.I then burst into sobs. I just wanted to get all the pent-up venom out.I was angry at the man who had ruined two lives. By what right? Who was he? He shattered two women’s dreams. That wonderful dream of becoming a mother? How could he not care about me at all? My agitation was growing so loud I could hear my blood boiling in my ear. My pain grew with every word I spoke. The past had come back like a thick fog and darkened our faces. Anger and frustration replaced happiness and joy.I saw the two of them speechless. Olivia tried to encourage me, but she was totally stunned and two tears were glistening in her eyes. All she did was squeeze my hand in encouragement. From the way she was holding me, it was clear that on the inside her anger was reaching its highest pitch.Mike said nothing. He didn’t take his eyes off me. His look was sad and painful. It was as if he couldn’t believe it was all true and that I wouldn’t dare lie about some
Shadows of the Past I WOULD DO ANYTHING
MIKE “Hello! Sorry it took so long. The patient is fine now. She is stable and recovered, I would say. I have given her an infusion treatment based on strengthening the body. I also took some samples for analysis. It’s nothing serious. A high state of agitation and lack of nutrition led to fainting. What I didn’t like at all were the bruises on my body. If there’s no evidence of physical violence, I wonder what it could be. There are no signs of illness. I’d still like to do some more thorough tests on him just to be sure, though I’m still sticking with violence. On the x-ray, there were signs of rib injuries. They’re healed now, but .... Too bad such a beautiful woman...” Olivia instantly turned yellow when she heard the doctor’s words. What was the doctor trying to tell us? That Emily... Kevin... was assaulting her? Violence? No way! The universe couldn’t be that cruel. Clearly not. “Doctor, are you trying to tell us that Emily has something serious, or that she is bein
Shadows of the Past SHE SOLD ME
EMILYMike’s question opened up an actual war in me. There was a fierce battle between reason and heart. Reason was the first to cry out: “How dare he ask such questions? These are strictly personal things I will not share with anyone.” But the heart immediately came to Mike’s defense, saying: “You don’t see how much this man loves you! A love you’ve never felt from Kevin.” I was stuck. My aim was to bring this war to a close. I felt like I was draining my strength. I was fighting with myself to decide who to give justice to. Who was I supposed to listen to? It was true that Mike amazed me with his honesty. A story like you could only reveal to someone you trusted completely or someone you were deeply in love with. Now honestly, about trust, it was unlikely. We didn’t know each other well enough to say it was about trust. I thought and rather hoped it was about sincere and pure love. We sat for a few seconds in silence. I blocked out my chaotic thoughts with all my might,
Shadows of the Past PROTECT YOU
EMILYAs Mike talked to me, I fixed my gaze on his eyes for a few seconds. However, I could not comprehend the words he was saying. I couldn't respond. My body was frozen, and I found myself unable to do anything. I could see him fidgeting because I was paralyzed. He took my hand in his, but I was nothing. I could see, but I couldn’t hear and I couldn’t move. I fixated my mind on Olivia’s words but also on the dangers that Kevin would face with me. His words were still ringing in my ears even now: “Stay away from that asshole you were with if you want him to live. It’s so easy for me to kill him in his sleep or run him over. What ....” I couldn’t think about a relationship with Mike anymore. I shouldn’t have gotten close to him, no matter how much I loved him. He wasn’t to blame for my stupidity. I was afraid for Mike. I couldn’t put his life in danger.“Don’t even think about it! Kevin can see you,” my conscience reminded me.When he dabbed my cheek, I slapped his hand away, got u
Shadows of the Past FORGET ABOUT THE CRAZINESS
MIKE “Come to my place,” I suggested. “We can have a party there. Just the three of us. Let’s forget for a moment about all the craziness that surrounds us.” Honestly, I wasn’t ready to break up with her. I wanted her around more and more, but I was also afraid to leave her alone with that psycho. You could see with your own eyes how terrified she was of him.“Works for me,” Olivia said.“I don’t know what to say. I wouldn’t want Kevin to know. What if he comments that I’ve been missing a lot?” Emily said in fright.“Honey, Kevin doesn’t have any power over you anymore. Besides, don’t imagine I’d let you go back to him. I’ll stay with you and protect you until you get rid of him. I won’t let him touch another finger. Today we go to Mike’s and stay there, but tomorrow I’ll find another place to stay. I’ll get your bags from there,” Olivia said.“That’s a great idea, Olivia. Come to my place and we’ll see tomorrow. Emily, Olivia’s right, you can’t be alone with that man anymore.
Shadows of the Past BETTER THAN EVER
MIKE For our peace of mind, Kevin left, thundering louder than an angry cloud in a thunderstorm. We knew he hadn’t given up, but was preparing his next move, which was going to be hard and powerful.I wasn’t afraid because I was much stronger now, but I wasn’t indifferent either. I had to protect Emily at all costs. After Kevin left and she felt liberated, I saw her more serene than ever. Her eyes sparkled as if they were two precious pearls paired with a smile so natural, her lips so sensual. “I’d like to go change and take a shower. Then maybe we can heat a party,” she said good-naturedly. “I like that idea,” Olivia added. She gracefully walked away from us. I thought I saw the most wonderfully walked, sexiest body I had ever seen. Tight pants showed off her ass curves and perfect hips. The blistering heat clouded my thinking. The only thing I could think about was the hotness of her mouth and her passionate, naked body lost in my burning arms.“Lover!
