Torn between love and hate Chapter 51
Trust that you find difficult to giveThe next morning, as soon as I woke up, I went to the bathroom, washed my face, and brushed my teeth. Then I applied some foundation and let my hair down. I still had half an hour before I needed to leave for university, so I took the time to drink some coffee. I put on a pair of jeans and a white sweater, threw on my jacket, grabbed my bag, slipped into my shoes, and opened the door.Dante was standing right outside, hands in his pockets, looking at me.“Good morning,” he said.“Um… good morning,” I replied, probably looking surprised.He took one hand out of his pocket and gently touched my cheek, then the corner of my lip—the exact spot where the bruise was.“Didn’t you promise me you wouldn’t go outside today?”Damn. I had completely forgotten.I placed my bag and jacket on the bed and walked over to him.“Does it hurt?” he asked.“No,” I answered.“Can we talk?”“Yes.”“Come with me,” he said.I followed him into his office. Being in that roo

Emotions you can’t make sense of EvelineI wiped away my tears and got back into the car. As soon as I sat down, I pulled out a mirror from my bag and checked my makeup.Thank God, it hadn’t smudged. I placed the mirror back into my bag, leaned against the seat, and closed my eyes.“Miss… um…”“Hmm?”“We’re here.”“What?”“We’ve arrived.”I opened my eyes fully and looked to the side—we were parked in front of the house.“Sorry, I must’ve fallen asleep.”I opened the door and stepped out of the car. My head was pounding. As soon as I entered the house, I almost bumped into Dante. He was dressed up and clearly about to go somewhere.“Sorry,” I said and stepped aside to let him pass, but he didn’t move.“What happened to your face?”“Nothing.”He turned toward me, placed his hand under my chin, and lifted my face.“What happened to your face?”His voice was calm but commanding. He stared directly into my eyes.“I slipped at the café and fell.”“Eveline…”“I’m not lying, I swear. A clie

Tears that no one is worth I was standing by the entrance. He was staring at me with that intense gaze, waiting for me to speak. The fact that he controls me like this, the constant thinking about what I should say or what he might think—it’s exhausting. I’m tired. Tired of living a life where men decide what I can or cannot do, who I can or cannot talk to. I’m tired of being afraid of them. I know I can’t change the fact that I tremble in fear every time I see my father.When Dante looks at me and I don’t know what to say, it makes me anxious—not because I’m scared he’ll hit me. No. I’m just… this is how I was raised. Some might call it cowardice. If I told someone that I always explain to my husband where I’ve been or why I talked to someone, they’d laugh. But this is how I was raised. Still, it’s becoming too much. So much that I no longer care if Dante gets angry. I’ll say what actually happened. It’s time to start changing something in my life.“Yes, we talked a lot. It was a pr

Painful and joyful memories from the pastAs soon as I closed the café, I went straight to Uncle Pedro. Diego would probably tell Dante that he drove me about an hour and a half away to meet someone. Dante will definitely ask, since I told him I was going to see a friend. There’s no point in lying to him now… but what the hell should I say?“We’re here,” Diego said.“You can go. I’ll come back on my own.”“I can’t. I’ve been ordered to take you back home and nowhere else.”I took a deep breath and stepped out of the car.I knocked on the door, and after a few moments, Uncle Pedro opened it.“Eveline, I thought you weren’t coming anymore.”I walked up to him and hugged him.“I promised, didn’t I? I came as soon as I finished work.”“It’s already late, and you must be tired. Why come all this way just for me?”“I came by car, and I’m not tired. Besides, I brought you a strawberry cake—your favorite.”He laughed and stepped aside so I could come in. I placed the cake, which I had taken f

The scent of winter that enchants you.As soon as I finished my last lecture, I rushed to work. Otto was already there, talking to one of the clients. He loved chatting with young people—he always says our generation is full of polite and warm-hearted kids. Apparently, Otto hasn’t yet met the rude and corrupt ones from my university, and I truly hope he never does. It would leave him disappointed and heartbroken.I went into the changing room, put my bag in the locker, tied my hair up in a bun, put on my apron, and walked straight to the first table, where the customers were clearly looking around for a server.“Hello, what can I get for you?”“Hi,” said a young guy with a warm smile. “I’ll have an iced latte, and she’ll take a hot chocolate and a slice of cheesecake.”He looked at the girl and smiled. She pretended not to notice, but I could tell she was pleased—he clearly knew her tastes.“Got it. Your order will be ready in a few minutes. Would you like to add anything else? We’ve

In the Devil’s Love The next day, I got ready for university and went downstairs. Enzo and Dante were sitting at the dining table in the living room, having breakfast.“Good morning,” I said.Enzo turned toward me and smiled.“Good morning, sleepyhead. It’s already eleven. Aren’t you going to be late for university?”“No, my lecture starts at twelve. I’m about to leave now.”Dante didn’t look at me; he was focused on his food. Enzo glanced at him, then back at me and silently asked what was wrong with Dante. I just shrugged as if I didn’t know.“Alright, I have to go now.”“Wait, are you finishing early today?”“Yes, but I have work afterward. Why?”“I thought maybe we could go get some ice cream. It’s okay if not, another time.”“Alright.”I went outside, greeted Diego, and got into the car. When I arrived at university, Amelia was standing by the entrance. As soon as she saw me, she came over.“Well, kid, I’m ready. Tell me everything.”“Not now, Amelia. I have Mr. Davis’s lecture
