Chapter 83Ethan’s POVI woke to find Maria in front of her dressing mirror, she had just come out of the shower, her was still wet and she was running a brush through it, her blue see through robe clung to her wet skin and I felt my body immediately reacting to hers.I got up from the bed and pulled on my pants before walking over to her “Let me” I said as I took the brush from her and began running it through her thick long locks.She smiled at me through the mirror and I returned the smile, I noticed that the smile did not reach her eyes, I had noticed she had something on her mind even earlier but I had let it go.Once I was done with her hair, she smiled up at me and said “Thanks love” I returned the brush to her and then turned her chair to look at me, I knelt before her “What’s the matter? And don’t tell me nothing because I am sure you know I can tell when you have something on your mind” I said to her.“There is nothing wrong with me” she said as she avoided my eyes.“You ar

Chapter 85Alexander’s POVI had tried my hardest to stay away from Maria last night but it was impossible not when I felt her pain like it was my own, I had felt heart breaking with each breath I took and I had been left with no choice but to seek her out and I was glad I had gone to her, she had been in a terrible shape when I found her in her room, the maids had been more than willing to show me to her when I had asked where she was.Even now, as I sat here having breakfast with Ethan, I could feel the heaviness of her heart weighing heavily on mine.“You look like you have a lot on your mind” he said to me as he drank his coffee.“I do” was all I said to him.He nodded his head and said “Want to talk about it?”I turned to look at him and said “We are not there yet” He shrugged his shoulders and said “I know but it is creepy to have you staring into nothing with that expression on your face, it takes the fun out of breakfast”“Leave me alone Ethan, I am really not in the mood to
Chapter 84Maria’s POVI had been in my room on the floor on the same spot I had been when Ethan left earlier, I could not bring myself to move, I had like the worst sort of person as I had pleaded with him to spare my spare my murderous mother, I could see the pain in his eyes and still I had gone ahead to do it.There was no way I could ever face him again, not after I had broken his heart the way I did, why was it that I managed to ruin the lives of both he and his brother? I wondered if perhaps I was a curse or something like that.I had no right to care for both of them as I did now, I just brought pain and darkness into their lives.I heard footsteps approaching my room and I recognized them as that of my mother.She walked in and gave me a look that told me she was not pleased with my current state.“Why on earth are you sitting on the floor like that? Get up right now and put on some clothes for heaven’s sake” she snapped at me.“Leave me alone mother” I said weakly.“Stop bei

Chapter 82Alexander’s POVYesterday’s conversation with Dr. Carter had been weird and it took a while before I finally managed to force it out of my mind, it was weird, I could not remember an adult ever speaking to me in that manner before, I found myself pondering on what she had said, perhaps I would have turned out to be the merciful Xander, I might have been a very different man if my life had turned out a bit different.I was not a man that pondered on what could have been but yesterday, I thought not only about myself but Ethan and Maria as well, we had somehow gotten twisted in the games played by the ones older than we were, I wonder if maybe if we had all been left alone and our lives allowed to play out as it was supposed to, we definitely would not have been the fucked up individuals we all were today.We had all been affected one way or another by decisions that had been made for us.I raised the bottle of beer to my lips and took a long drag, I heard footsteps behind m
