INICIAR SESIÓNRebecca“You mean you've been suffering through all of this? But the last time we chatted, everything was going so well, and I was so happy for you.”I could feel the comfort of the bed I was lying on. Maria was sitting at the edge of the bed, holding my hand.The creaking of the door made both of us turn towards it, and the familiar hospital smell became even stronger.It was Andrew, Maria's husband. The first thing I noticed was his well-groomed beard.When he reached the bed, he placed his hand on his wife's shoulder.“Good news Rebecca,” he smiled and added, “the doctor said everything is fine with you, your baby is very okay and we can go home.”I looked back at them, and both of them were staring at me. My baby part of it made me more relaxed.“You heard what the doctor said, Rebecca. Come and stay with me for some time, if that's what you want.”When I managed to sit on the edge of the bed like Maria, my feet touching the cold floor, I knew I had to say something.“Maria!” I lo
RebeccaIt was either my marriage or my baby.Collins hurriedly drained the wine in his glass, making sure I drank my juice next.His eyes stayed fixed on me, sharp and cold, while his expression changed little by little as I lifted the glass closer to my lips.A voice echoed in my head. It was the doctor's voice from my last prenatal check-up."This is your first baby. You must protect it with everything you have, especially what you eat or drink. You're carrying something very precious…”Just as the rim touched my lower lip, my fingers suddenly slipped. The glass fell from my hand and shattered on the floor.Broken pieces of glass scattered everywhere, and the juice splashed across the tiles.Collins shot to his feet like a bulldog. His temper changed in an instant."What have you just done?"I pointed at the spilled juice. The way he stared at me and then at the floor was as if I had destroyed his last hope."A simple thing like drinking juice... you can't even do it. Get... get...
My hands remained on the doorframe for a long moment.He didn't say another word. Instead, he stood up and slowly made his way to the bathroom.More than anything, I wanted to rebuild our relationship.I walked over to the sofa and sat down to wait for him.A few moments later, I heard him vomiting. When I felt he needed help, I stood up, just at the bathroom door, he stopped the vomiting and he sighed heavily.Next, I heard the shower running. The sound continued much longer than I expected. I couldn't imagine standing under a cold shower for that long without catching a fever.Finally, the shower stopped.When Collins came out this time, his steps were much better, having or no sign that he had got drunk.A towel was wrapped around his waist, and I found myself admiring the man I had always longed to touch but had never truly been able to.“You stayed?” he asked, looking in my direction.“Where else would I go? You are the man who breathes love into my life.”He immediately walked o
RebeccaThis has to be the fifteenth time I've looked at the wall clock. Just a few seconds later, I raised my eyes and looked at it again.10:45 p.m.Collins had never come home this late before. I couldn't sleep or even chat with Kess as we had planned.I rested my back against the table, my face lowered to the floor.“If I had known this would happen, I would have allowed him to touch me on the first night of our marriage. I'm such a failure.”Tears rolled down my cheeks. We had a perfect family until the rules I thought would strengthen our marriage ended up breaking it.I couldn't take it anymore. I picked up my phone and called him.The phone rang and rang until the call ended unanswered. I dialled his number again, but the same thing happened.I remembered his warning never to call him, but he was still my husband.I lowered my gaze to my stomach. Even through my white nightgown, I could see the small bump.“I can't kill an innocent child just to prove Collins right.”Just then
RebeccaI was in the kitchen, almost done making dinner, when the doorbell rang. If I stepped away from the chicken that was already drying out in the hot oil, it would burn. As I quickly scooped the deboned pieces from the frying pan, the bell rang again.I wasn't expecting anyone. The only person that came to mind was our security guard."Please, wait," I murmured to myself, knowing he couldn't hear me.I was wearing a pink apron over a thin rope-strapped gown that reached below my knees.By the time the doorbell rang for the third time, I had already reached the door. It wasn't locked. If it had been the security guard, he would have let himself in after ringing once and waited in the sitting room until I came out.I wrapped my hand around the handle and pulled the door open.The sight before me caught me completely off guard."Hey..."For a few seconds, I couldn't say a word. My eyes travelled from his smiling face to his broad chest, well-defined abs, long legs, and finally to hi
Mrs HartIt was evening at my house, and my favourite TV show was on. My eyes were fixed on the screen.I was so absorbed in what I was watching that I didn't notice someone entering my sitting room.When the sofa shifted, I turned my face.“When did you enter?” I asked immediately.“Not too long ago.”“What kept you so long? I have been waiting. What about Mr Kess?”“I thought the two of you had already spoken.”“As scheduled, the two of you were supposed to come together.” I wasn't pleased, and it was obvious from my expression.“But that is not the best way to welcome your darling,” he smiled before asking a question I couldn't resist.“How is your relationship with your son? Did he grant your request regarding Miss Rachel?”“It is unbelievable that Collins granted my request, but the connection between the two of them is terrible. Can you imagine? He gave Miss Rachel rules about her dress code and when and how she could see him in his office. It is strange.”Amos came closer and s
Rachel"Sara, you will not believe what happened last night."I stood right next to Collins' bed. He had left to go meet with some investors. Collins has been the man I dream about ever since his mom introduced us. This man does not know how to stop working. He has no time for himself, and definite
Rebecca“Ah…ah…that is the g-spot. More. Deeper. I love you. There is ah…….”Luke's mistress screamed like that. I got over this crap a long time ago, back when he was still bringing home different women all the time. But lately? He has stuck with this one lady for way longer than usual.Only one t
Collins"It has been six days now and...""Are you trying to kick me out of your house, Phillip?""No, no. I would never do that. But staying here is not going to fix you. You keep telling your mom you cannot tell her where you are. I cannot find the healing you are looking for. Your mom is worried
Rebecca“Someone is about to call you. Do not pick up. Please.”Luke sent that message himself. Is he fucking insane? When was the last time he ever said please to me? My first thought was that he messed up. This message is not for me. I know what he is capable of. I know how his mind works.I need
