EMILYI was watching the images Kevin had thrown at me in bed so nonchalantly and I felt like the entire world fell apart in a second. I perceived those images as if they were executioners trained to rip my heart into a thousand pieces and shatter my body into tiny particles.“What are these? Where did you get them?” I yelled at him.“I have my own methods,” he replied.I don’t think I’ve ever felt a greater pain than that. After a magical night and morning in which I fell that my life made sense behold, fate was crueler than I thought and dealt me the most painful blow. Something I never expected. What I was most afraid of this happened and it hurts so bad!“I don’t think that’s true! Mind!” I screamed again. “Get out of my room!”I could feel the tears fighting their way out, only something inside me was blocking them. My subconscious was screaming as loud as it could, “You’ve cried enough! Enough! Be strong, come on, head up!” “You know I’m not lying! Just see for yourself th
MIKEI was like a madman looking all over the house for Emily. When I saw Kevin, I was sure he’d done something to her. If Olivia hadn’t come in, I’d have kicked his ass.“Hey! You’re gonna wreck the entire house! What the hell is wrong with you people?” she yelled from the doorway of the room, but who had ears to hear her? “Mike! Stop it!” she yelled again in an even louder voice.Seeing that I wasn’t acting, she came and tried to break us up. Luckily I saw her in time, otherwise the fist that was dedicated to Kevin was coming straight for her face. “God, how can I hit a woman?”“You’re crazy! I almost hit you.” I yelled at her.“You’re crazy. You’re acting like a raving lunatic. What the hell happened to you?”“Where’s Emily? She’s nowhere to be found.”“Did you search the beach?”“I’ve been looking like a lunatic everywhere. She’s nowhere to be found. I’m sure he did something to her.”“Kevin, you’d better come clean. You know you can’t fuck with me. Leave Emily alone or I’ll have
MIKEI opened the app I’ve only used once before, when it was installed by my specialist to explain everything he could. I could have sworn I would never need it again. When I saw my brother, I foolishly believed that he had accomplished everything he had set out to do and that he would stop bothering me once he saw me in a vulnerable state. But I didn’t consider that I was about to fall in love with his wife.I felt like a newborn baby who wanted to explore the world, but was completely lost without a mother... that was me without Emily. The uncertainty killed me. I tried to show Olivia that I knew what I was doing, but to be honest, I was completely lost. My thoughts turned to Emily and the misconceptions she had about me at the time. Now was not the time to play with technology. It was like something new to me. “Are you going to give it to me or do you want to sit here all day?” asked Olivia seriously.“Yes! I’m not in the mood for that right now.” She seemed to know what she
EMILY I was sorry to leave there. I felt like that was where I could live forever, but after everything that had happened, I couldn’t bear to face anyone. The wounds in my heart were so deep and painful that I felt like sometimes even my breath was hot. I got a window seat on the plane, a secluded seat in a single seat. It was just what I needed. Just me with me and my pain. I closed my eyes, hoping to relax a little, but sleep stole me away and took me to dreamland. I don’t know how long I slept, but I woke up to one stewardess gently tapping me on the shoulder. “Ma’am, are you alright? Have some water.” I looked at her strangely because I didn’t understand why she woke me up. To drink the water? If I was thirsty, wouldn’t I ask for it myself? “You were crying and sobbing loudly in your sleep and we were afraid you might be sick,” she said, waking me from the reverie I was still in. I took a glass of water without being able to say anything else. I felt embarrassed by the
KevinI didn’t really care about the hotel chain anymore. I left Susan in charge. Honestly, she always had my back and did everything I wanted. She was always sexy and ready to spoil me the way she knew best. She was always obedient. I didn’t need to show her who was boss because she executed on the first try. “I need that contract, Susan. Do what you do best.” “You’ll get it for sure,” she replied every time. But I didn’t agree with her jealousy of Emily. She made a few scenes when she found out I was marrying her, but I had no choice. There was a young business partner who liked her very much, and it wasn’t now that I would give her to him if I set my eyes on her first. Plus, I needed the cover for my “mother-in-law” business. When I saw my partner’s interest in Emily, I knew she meant a gold mine for me. I just had to “tame” her the way I wanted. So I married her. Susan couldn’t understand my sentiment. She got a little upset at the time, but with a huge beachfront mansion i
EMILY“He was in bed with her while I....I... I was waiting for him like a fool,” I told my sister through sobs.“My dear, tell me everything so I can understand. Who was with whom? We all know about Kevin, but he left,” Gaby replied, puzzled.“No Gaby, Kevin is back. Thanks to my mother, I’ll never get rid of him. He was a crook and lured her into illegal business.”“What?” she exclaimed in astonishment. “Do you know what you’re saying there?”“Of course I know. I’ll tell you all about it at once. So, I wake up and there's Kevin, standing in my backyard. I thought I got rid of him, but I wasn’t. When I got there, a well built, handsome man who was on fire greeted me. It drew my attention to his muscular chest showing through his white shirt and his sea-blue eyes. It immediately attracted me to him, except that he honestly annoyed me. One day, lost in thought, I didn’t see that the pool had a tarp on it and I jumped in. He jumped in to save me because otherwise I’d drown. That’s when
MIKEI wish I had asked Olivia why there was pain and why did the entire world laugh when I cried? Why were they glad when my heart was torn with pain? I felt as if my soul was being lost like the wave of the sea, returning each time to hug the shore, only its strength diminished with every inch it came closer to shore, until it evaporated forever.All my thoughts and dreams drifted from the magical night with Emily to the deep pain I felt like a sharp knife plunged deep into my heart. Her loss was to me like a raging sea meant to exhaust everything in its path.It bore me with the images that kept ongoing but offered nothing concrete. I kept seeing Carla talking on the phone. She’d stay on for a while and then call someone again. She was screaming at the top of her lungs, wondering what she’d do if the drug wore off. Panic took her over. She was pacing up and down my patio.At one point, I wanted to turn off the video, but Olivia read my mind and grabbed my hand, stopping me.“Wait!
EMILY“Going where? Do you have somewhere to go?” asked Clark.“I don’t know where to go. I’ll find a place where I can get away from him,” I replied.“Honey, you won’t be able to run away for the rest of your life. There must be something or someone who can help you get away from him.”“Do you think there is a guardian angel for me?” I asked, trying to joke with her. It was actually a rhetorical joke. With one eye, I was laughing and the other crying.“Yes! There is someone,” she affirmed.“Gaby, don’t do that!” came a determined woman’s voice.In that second, I felt cold shivers take over my body. It was my mother! The last person I wanted to see. She had ruined my life and I couldn’t forget that. But she was still my mother and I couldn’t hate her, but I didn’t want her around me anymore.I got up, wishing I could leave and leave her with them. I knew they had a very close relationship, and I didn’t want to change that. Except my sister grabbed me firmly by the hand and pulled me t
