DANTE…Despite having a heavy heart, I came to a firm decision of giving Ashley an intentional space.Not because I was guilty of my actions and I wanted her to forgive me but because I wanted to prove I wasn't guilty of the crime which I have been accused of.In my hands was a paper which had been soaked by my blood as the loud music kept banging in my ears.I gulped down the glass of tequila which burned my throat and made me choke.I was angry at the world but most especially at Ashley for not trusting me or giving me time to prove my innocence.She was gone from my life and has made it known to me, even if I find her she'll never be mine again.The harshest of punishment she could give to me was taking away every single memory of her, leaving me with a paper of her farewell.I became a soft hearted man because I decided to love a woman, I wasn't wrong when the words “love is the weakest of all" kept ringing in my ears.Love is the most foolish feeling in this world and because of

FIVE YEARS LATER…ASHLEY…“Mommy, I can't wait to participate in my school's pinic" my daughter, Arya's little voice resounded countlessly in my ears and the braveness which I had instilled inside of my self for the past five years of my life weakened.I left the city Dante resided in but no matter how hard I tried, I ended up leaving with his complete replica.Arya was his other soul that was yet to be born into this world and I breathe life into it.She had my facial features but her eyes were exactly like Dante's, his green piercing eyes but her's shone brighter, reminding me that my years of hardwork had been fruitless.I had gone to the hospital to undergo an abortion but I couldn't kill my own baby.I guess I had been clouded with the thought of hating Dante so much and I began to feel lonely.My pregnancy was three months and the doctor said I was at a higher risk of losing my life since I had massive complications.I had a change of heart to not abort my baby but I decided tha

JAYE…My eyes stared deep into Ashley's eyes as she fumed in anger. Right from the first day I had set my eyes on her, she had been the most soft spoken person I had ever known.I hadn't seen her so angry and no matter how pissed she would get, Ashley always practiced self control and it must had helped her a lot but for her to curse at me with so much rage resonating inside of her. I knew I had crossed all limits and she couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't act as though it wasn't affecting when it was. The hard glare she expressed through her eyes made me wonder what her next actions were and I had to blame myself for it.Her recent behaviour in all the time of knowing her made me fall madly in love with her but she didn't reciprocate my love. She was so soft and loving towards me, she took such great care of me and made sure I didn't skip a meal. “How dare you think I could ever love you Jaye? it's time you bring down your hopes and face the harshest reality of us, I can never
