Shadows of the Past GAME OF DESTINY
EMILYI wish he had released me from the hold he had me in. Already the panic was getting worse and my mind was foggy from all the events. There were so many questions playing dangerously in my brain that I could feel myself slowly losing consciousness, something I didn’t want around that man.“What have I got to do with you and your mischief? Do I have proof that you cheated on me? Go away now and leave me alone. Give me the divorce of your own free will or you will suffer the consequences,” I told him in a more lost voice. He laughed and let me go. My hands were already aching. I wished I had such strength that I could have picked him up and forced him out myself, but it wasn’t possible. “I’m not going anywhere, baby.”“Kevin, leave or I’ll call the police.”“You won’t dare. I’m your husband. No one believes that I, such a loving husband, would hurt you. People will laugh at you and not at me. You have no more proof that I’ve cheated on you.”“You are no longer my husband. I’m sur
Shadows of the Past MY PLACE OF HEART
MIKEI went to the cemetery where I usually found my inner self and calmed down. It was where I always found the answers to questions and made the best decisions. I didn’t know how I drove there. If no police car was following me, it meant it was relatively okay.I sat down on the bench in front of the cross and stayed that way for a good few minutes. The weather was gorgeous. The sun was in the sky in all its glory and was spreading its hot rays over the unbroken expanse, giving everyone a great deal of excitement. “Why did you let me fall in love with that woman? You knew it was her. Why didn’t you tell me? How could life be so cruel and steal you both away from me, and now I fall in love with my fiercest enemy? I fell in love with the very one who took our happiness with no remorse.” Tears streamed down my cheeks. Though I wished I had held back my tears, because it was not very becoming for a man to cry, I honestly couldn’t and gave my emotions free rein.“It was her, wasn’t it?
Shadows of the Past NOT THE ONE I KNEW
EMILYI could hear everything Kevin was saying, but I hoped it was just a nightmare that I was waking up from as soon as possible. Everything he said about my mother and his plans, how he “bought” me and how my mother “sold” me out of cowardice, sounded more like a horror story to me. I couldn’t believe it. It just wasn’t true. “You’re lying! Mom is a tough woman, but she loves us and wouldn’t put our lives in danger. To her, we, her daughters, are the most important.”He didn’t comment on anything I said, instead he picked up the phone and called my mother. Kevin put the phone on speaker so we could both hear their conversation. He put her hand over my mouth so she couldn’t speak before I could react in any way.“What are you doing, mother-in-law, dear? How’s the firm going? What news do you have of my wife?” he asked in a calm tone.“Kevin? What do you want? Leave Emily alone! I’ve given you everything you wanted. Now leave her alone,” mother replied angrily. I wished I had let go
Shadows of the Past REVEALED
EMILY“Darling, don’t talk like that. I’ve known Luiza for a long time. She really cares for you. And to you and your sister, it’s just that life hasn’t been kind to her, and that’s forced her to become hard and cold.”“But where does that leave mother’s love? The warmth with which you must protect your young? How could she not choose me and choose the firm? She sold me out for her firm. Kevin said he’d give me a divorce if she pleaded guilty and gave up her firm. He had her on something, and she sacrificed me for her own good. Why didn’t she just trust me and tell me the truth? Maybe together we could have found a solution to this problem,” I yelled at her.“My dear, have you considered that maybe this choice may have broken her heart too? I don’t think Luiza could be that harsh. Something is unclean at work. I feel that what you have found out is not quite all. She remained free, all for your protection. I’m sure of it. From what you’re telling me, I think your husband is more dange
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
