Kiara

I was lucky that Jake didn’t ruin my relationship this time. I thought Thomas would get angry with me and throw my feelings for Jake in my face, but he was respectful and understanding.

Thomas was a great man. Nothing like Jake.

Jake was a monster. A monster who liked seeing me alone, with no one to give me love. To him, I was just his toy. You don’t do that to someone you say you love. The other night in the living room was stupidity: his confession no longer carried any weight for me, because it was all a lie. Jake might believe he loved me, but it was only his twisted idea of what love is.

Thomas and I didn’t bring up the subject again, but the next medical appointment was approaching. On the same day as my weekly ultrasound, I also had to undergo chemotherapy. Jake wasn’t going to attend the ultrasound with me because he had a meeting with businessmen, and Thomas had another meeting at a different company. I was going to go alone.

When I woke up that morning, I had the feeli

    KiaraAfter having a heavy argument with Jake, I got into his car reluctantly, fed up with him. Jake drove in silence, eyes fixed on the road, his brow slightly furrowed, as if he were upset with me when I hadn’t done anything wrong. If my presence bothered him so much, then why take me? I never understood it. I never knew what to expect from Jake, only that it wasn’t something good. That was the problem: Jake made me feel like I was constantly in quicksand.I had tried to leave in a taxi. I needed distance because being with him during the baby check-up and chemotherapy was too much. I needed air. But he insisted, with that firm tone he used with the pack when giving an order. He said that if I didn’t go with him, he would get into the taxi with me because it was “his way of taking care of me.” Taking care of me? Was this what he called taking care of me?The only person who destroyed everything was the one who wanted to take care of me.As the car moved forward, I didn’t say anythin

    KiaraJake’s words disarmed me because he was right.I felt so much for him that sometimes the guilt wouldn’t let me sleep. I wished it were as easy as stopping loving someone, but Jake’s constant presence and two babies growing inside me didn’t allow me to mourn normally. But I wasn’t going to let him see me falling apart. I had to be strong, like when I decided to leave the city to get away from Jake and the pain.“Don’t you think you’re overanalyzing? It seems like the kiss meant too much for you,” I counterattacked.“That’s what you’d like.”“That’s what I see. We’re alone in this room, Jake… don’t you see it? You don’t have to pretend here with me. I know you’re still in love with me because you said so yourself.”The tension in the room could be cut with a knife. Using his feelings against him was a weapon I had to take if I wanted to shut him up.“Or that’s what I wanted you to believe.”I laughed.“If that were the case, you wouldn’t have run away when I told you last time. Yo

    KiaraI was tired of Jake threatening me with the judge’s order. Manipulating me was never going to generate anything positive between us. If I survived this illness, our children would live between one house and the other, watching their parents hate each other. That wasn’t what I wanted for my kids.I never imagined I would have to go through this. I never thought that one day this would happen to me.Jake wasn’t going to back down. He was as stubborn as I was, and we were both willing to fight. No matter how much I tried to convince him, he had a judge backing up his wishes, and I was simply a rat he enjoyed playing with.“Are you going to deny me the right to be alone while I receive my treatment?” I tried not to lose my calm, but inside I wanted to explode.“I just want to support you.”“Kiara, hi!” said someone behind me. I recognized the voice instantly.It was Dr. Grace, my oncologist. She looked at Jake for a moment, realizing she had interrupted something. Jake used that mom

    Jake After the fight at the party, I begged George and Gregory not to open their mouths. The pack was present at the party, as always. All of them. Irina was inside the hall, waiting for me. The music saved me from anyone else hearing me argue with my brother. With Thomas. He was no longer my brother. He stopped being that to me. From now on, he was just another one. “What the hell happened?” Gregory asked. He was one of my betas, the one I trusted the most. “What happened is that Thomas is an idiot,” I said, glaring angrily toward the door through which they had disappeared. I wiped the blood away with my arm, trying to clear it from my lip. “I don’t want anyone finding out that this happened.” “Then go change your shirt, Jake,” he advised. “You’ve got blood on it, and people will start talking.” I looked down at my shirt. He was right. Damn it. He’s an idiot. And me? What was I, if Thomas was an idiot? That was what I asked myself. As if a voice of conscience were trying

    Kiara There was a severe storm outside. The forecast had warned about it. Thomas and I were in the car. I stared straight ahead, my hands tense on my lap, feeling Thomas’s silence in the passenger seat. He hadn’t said a single word since we left the hotel holding hands, and that lack of communication made me think that Jake’s words had had an effect on him. The windshield struggled to clear the path, brushing the raindrops off the glass, but the storm kept growing heavier. Suddenly, Thomas slowed down even more and turned on the hazard lights. The car pulled over to the side of the road, surrounded by the deafening sound of rain and wind. The storm was at its peak, just as the forecast had announced. “I can’t keep going like this,” he finally said in a low voice. “It’s dangerous. We could have an accident. I’m not going to take risks.” I nodded, although what truly frightened me wasn’t the storm, but what was happening between him and me. I turned my head to look at him. His fac
