Shadows of the Pastย ย ย DO YOU BELIEVE ME?
MIKEI opened the app Iโve 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 didnโt 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. โAre you going to give it to me or do you want to sit here all day?โ asked Olivia seriously.โYes! Iโm not in the mood for that right now.โ 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 couldnโt 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 donโt know how long I slept, but I woke up to one stewardess gently tapping me on the shoulder. โMaโam, are you alright? Have some water.โ I looked at her strangely because I didnโt understand why she woke me up. To drink the water? If I was thirsty, wouldnโt I ask for it myself? โYou were crying and sobbing loudly in your sleep and we were afraid you might be sick,โ 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 didnโt 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 didnโt need to show her who was boss because she executed on the first try. โI need that contract, Susan. Do what you do best.โ โYouโll get it for sure,โ she replied every time. But I didnโt 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 wasnโt now that I would give her to him if I set my eyes on her first. Plus, I needed the cover for my โmother-in-lawโ business. When I saw my partnerโs interest in Emily, I knew she meant a gold mine for me. I just had to โtameโ her the way I wanted. So I married her. Susan couldnโt understand my sentiment. She got a little upset at the time, but with a huge beachfront mansion i

EMILYโHe was in bed with her while I....I... I was waiting for him like a fool,โ I told my sister through sobs.โMy dear, tell me everything so I can understand. Who was with whom? We all know about Kevin, but he left,โ Gaby replied, puzzled.โNo Gaby, Kevin is back. Thanks to my mother, Iโll never get rid of him. He was a crook and lured her into illegal business.โโWhat?โ she exclaimed in astonishment. โDo you know what youโre saying there?โโOf course I know. Iโll 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 wasnโt. 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 didnโt see that the pool had a tarp on it and I jumped in. He jumped in to save me because otherwise Iโd drown. Thatโs 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. Sheโd stay on for a while and then call someone again. She was screaming at the top of her lungs, wondering what sheโd 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.โWait!

EMILYโGoing where? Do you have somewhere to go?โ asked Clark.โI donโt know where to go. Iโll find a place where I can get away from him,โ I replied.โHoney, you wonโt 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.โโDo you think there is a guardian angel for me?โ I asked, trying to joke with her. It was actually a rhetorical joke. With one eye, I was laughing and the other crying.โYes! There is someone,โ she affirmed.โGaby, donโt do that!โ came a determined womanโs 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 couldnโt forget that. But she was still my mother and I couldnโt hate her, but I didnโt 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 didnโt want to change that. Except my sister grabbed me firmly by the hand and pulled me t

EMILY โYou realize Iโve never had peace of mind knowing you with him, but heโs always threatened to lock us both up. I preferred to keep quiet until now but to know you well, only now I donโt know how it was better...โโMom, you could have told me everything. You know thereโs someone who can help us,โ Gaby said angrily. โTrying to solve the problem yourself was the worst decision.โโI donโt need some poor bastard whoโs never taken an interest in you.โ Mom was downright irritated, and I was confused. What were they talking about? โI have nothing to discuss with such a man.โI could feel Gaby growing irritated. Sheโd never been so angry. Honestly, come to think of it, I donโt think Iโd ever seen them argue.โWhat are you two talking about over there? I understand nothing anymoreโ My question had no impact on them. It was as if I was invisible and they couldnโt see me, couldnโt hear me, because they continued to argue without including me in their discussion.โYou were being selfish. Yo

Emily โGaby enough! I said no!โ my mother shouted once. She screamed so loudly that little Eduard cried. โNo one will look for that.....โ he stopped.The little innocent angelโs tears brought me back to life. I picked him up and carried him to his father, who stood like a statue, unable to believe that his wife had the strength to face his mother. I felt innocent but also incapable of ending this war.โThatโs it!โ I said to the two of them. Only they werenโt willing to listen. They acted like I was just a doll they didnโt know where to put.I motioned for Clark to take the boy away. Heโd witnessed enough of the rough stuff for his age. He was terrified by the screaming, which didnโt do him any good. Besides, I wanted to do Clark some good. I wanted to be alone with my mom and my sister.โThatโs enough!โ I yelled after everyone else in the room retreated. โIโm not an object. Look at me, Iโm an adult and I can make my own decisions. Enough of your bickering. Itโs pointless what youโre

Shadows of the Pastย ย ย HEAVEN
EMILYI still couldnโt believe everything we had experienced on the last day. It was all worth writing. I was sure it would make a wonderful book. A novel to write about my life story.It was unbelievable. Susan ruined my life, and she saved it. I was home because of her. Why had she sacrificed her life for us?โWhy did you do that?โ I finally asked her.โWhat did I do?โ she asked me defiantly.โWhy did you save me? You know you wonโt have a quiet life with Kevin now.โโI wonโt have a quiet life, anyway. My parents donโt want to see me and heโs with Carla. Heโs sick of me. Besides, Carlaโs willing to sacrifice even more than I have. She broke into the house of Kevinโs worst enemy just to get information for him,โ she told me. โI also have pictures of her, Luke and other rivals of Kevinโs in various compromising situations and poses. When Kevin was fighting between life and death, she was partying with the rich guys and I was nursing him. But as soon as she came to her senses, she turn
Shadows of the Pastย ย ย THE SALVATION
MIKEI rushed over and pulled Eddyโs body off Emily. She was terrified! The crying and panic was preventing her from breathing normally. Her heart was pounding like crazy. She grabbed her torn dress and clutched it to her chest. She didnโt realize it was me next to her and not someone else. What had that bastard done to her?I tried to pick her up, but she pulled away. She was still in shock. She couldnโt realize I was there.โBaby, itโs me, Mike. Youโre safe now.โShe looked at me with wide eyes. When she realized I was indeed beside her, she released the wellspring of tears and threw herself into my arms.โWe have to hurry. If Kevin comes back, it wonโt be good for us,โ Susan said from the doorway of the room.I picked Emily up and followed Susan. She knew how to sneak out of sight of Kevinโs bodyguards. The house was empty, so we went through quickly. We went down to the garage and got into a roomy station wagon. Susan was in front of the wheel and Emily and I climbed into the trun
Shadows of the Pastย ย ย ALL I HOLD DEAR
EMILYโMaybe? Have you checked to see if weโre siblings?โ I asked in a nonchalant tone. I wanted to be stronger than Kevin could have ever imagined.I didnโt want to continue the conversation. I ran for the door, wanting to leave the room, but Kevin grabbed my arm and pulled me back. Eddy quickly came up beside him and put a hand on his shoulder. He glared at him, then turned back to me.โStay here until I finish everything I have to say. Donโt you ever dare let me speak alone again. Besides, youโre not going anywhere. Here youโll rot. This will be your grave,โ he screamed.โI...โ I was more afraid than ever, but not for myself but for what he was about to say.โI always thought you were his daughter. I took a DNA test to confirm it and thatโs when I relieved myself.โโThen what do you want from me? Iโm not the fruit of sin. Iโm not your sister.โโYou are not the fruit of sin, but you are the fruit of my childhood torment. I swore I would make you mine and give you the life I lived be
Shadows of the Pastย ย ย UNBEARABLE PAIN
EMILYโYou lied to me?โ I screamed.โHow else would I get my hands on you?โ he asked me mockingly.โKevin, you donโt get to play with peopleโs lives the way you want. Why donโt you mind your own life and let us live ours? I promise Iโll talk Olivia into destroying your file,โ I tried to convince him, hoping I could talk him down.โAnd you want me to believe you?โ He asked harshly.โIโm not like you! I donโt lie!โ I replied curtly.โEmily, youโre mine and youโre mine forever, whether you like it,โ he continued in a calm tone.โYou can do whatever you want with me, but leave them alone. Donโt touch them, they donโt answer to me,โ I replied just as dryly.โWow! Little princess claws out! My dear, you are in no position to negotiate or threaten. I remind you that you are in my territory. One command and youโre dead,โ he replied sadistically.โKevin, Iโm not scared of you and you know it,โ I said fiercely.โYou really donโt know how to lie. Youโre more afraid than youโve ever felt. I can r
Shadows of the Pastย ย ย BROKEN PROMISES
EMILYI was afraid, more afraid than ever. Kevin was so unpredictable. He proved to be more dangerous than anyone else. He came back from the dead and was ready to destroy us all. I didnโt know what would happen to me there.In the end, it didnโt matter what happened to me. All I cared about was the safety of the people I loved. He promised Mikeโs release if I stood by him. I wanted peace for everyone. My life was meaningless without Mike.The closer I got to the meeting place, the harder my heart pounded. I could feel it not in my chest where it belonged, but it was rising into my throat in a big, painful lump that was sapping my strength.In front of Menfail Park, a black car with tinted windows waited for me, just as the message had said. I looked around before opening the back door and seeing that there were no familiar eyes, I quickly got in.To my surprise, there was only a driver in the car who didnโt even say hello. As soon as I got in, I got another text message:โThis phone
Shadows of the Pastย ย ย YOU ARE A BASTARD!
MIKECouldnโt believe that this bastard has so many lives, like a damn cat. I hated him. I even came to hate him more than anything else in the world. What had I done wrong to want him to see me destroyed?He kidnapped my wife and my unborn child, even though I left and withdrew from his life. I left him everything, but it still wasnโt right. What else did he want? Emily was mine. I wouldnโt leave her to anyone. I was fighting for her, as I wasnโt willing to lose her, too. Mary caused me enough pain. Then, when I saw Emily lifeless, it was cruel.I knew for sure where he was hiding, and I wasnโt afraid of him or his goons. Rather than live a panic-stricken life, then fight with my life. I was doing it for the woman I loved and for myself. I owed myself, Mary, and Emily.I raced at top speed toward the house where the bastard was holed up. I felt my blood boiling and my heart pounding with the rage I felt.When I got there, I burst through the gate, oblivious to the guards running afte
Shadows of the Pastย ย ย I'LL KILL HIM!
EmilyAs I stepped into the driveway in front of the house, my emotions overwhelmed me. I felt like I saw Kevin in front of me with every step. I even felt like I heard him.โI should have taken Olivia up on her offer to stay at Frankโs,โ I thought angrily to myself.At Oliviaโs wedding, I felt like all that wound had healed, but I realized there was still a flame smoldering in the depths of my heart.Mike got to know me very well and realized right away that the past broke my peace. I feared for a second that I might be overcome with jealousy, but I soon realized that Mike was not that kind of man. To my relief, Mike realized he was the only one I loved, but that the wounds of the past still hurt. Still, he knew, or at least I hoped he knew, that no one and nothing had any place between us. I only wanted him in my life!I opened the door carefully, as I had the wedding night scene in my eyes and in my ears. I could hear, like a melody on repeat, Kevinโs words that I had heard when I
Shadows of the Pastย ย ย I'LL TAKE THAT RISK
KEVINI wish I could have seen my idiot brotherโs face when Eddy shot his girlfriend. Actually, his mistress was because she was still my wife.โHoney, please donโt get up. Youโre still in a delicate state.โ I hated being nagged, especially by Susan. Sheโd always been a nag who thought by throwing herself on my bed sheโd have me in her clutches like a puppy. Except her plans didnโt coincide with mine, so I quickly chased her away. โYou must be cautious, as youโre still weak. Youโve had a very serious accident and you havenโt fully recovered,โ she continued, rousing me from my reverie.โLeave me! Get lost!โ I yelled at her.โBut ....โ she tried to apologize in a trembling voice. I honestly had more important things to do than listen to her.โWhat donโt you get? I said leave!โ I yelled at her again.โKevin!โ she said and walked closer to me. She tried to stroke my cheek, but I got so annoyed that I hit her across the face with all my strength. She looked at me with wide, questioning eye

EmilyโThanks for everything, baby. I loved the concert so much and especially the dedication you gave me,โ I told her flushed.โWhat? Were you still in a coma?โ he asked, surprised.โI donโt know how to explain, but I could hear everything. I wanted to wake up, but something was drawing me into a distant, pure world, something dreamlike. It felt so good there, but I was sad about your suffering. I donโt know if it was all real or just dreams, but I felt present in two totally different worlds,โ I tried to explain.Mike smiled gently. He struck my cheek, then lifted my left hand and kissed it. The engagement ring gleamed beautifully in the beating sunlight that streamed nonchalantly in through the large parlor window.โNever mind what it was. Youโre here with me now and thatโs the most important thing right now. I love you infinitely wonderful woman!โ he told me.His daily care helped me recover faster than the doctors expected. They always said that love works wonders, and that I was
