Ace. I closed the door and left her alone. It was nice to talk to her like this again. I had missed the back and forth we used to share so easily. Before everything changed, it had always been so easy to be with her. I had to believe we were going to get back to that. I went back to the sitting room and poured myself a drink. I stood there and stared at it for a while, thinking about everything that had happened. Had I done everything I should have done? Should I have tried harder to contact her parents? I knew they would be angry when they found out what had happened, that I didn’t try everything I could try to get word to them. But they were the ones who insisted on taking these cruises without their cellphones. They made it clear they didn’t want to be disturbed under any circumstances. But I knew these were special circumstances and they would have come home immediately had they known. And then they would have taken Kaya back to Texas with them. That was the last thing I wante

Ace. Growing up, I had loved coming to the house in the I grew up in, but that felt like a hundred years ago. Now, as we neared the property, as Cyn sat beside me in the car, everything about her tense. It didn't feel the same anymore. I felt like I was walking into my own crucifixion. Cyb looked beautiful in the flower colored dress she had chosen, her auburn hair piled high on her head, dark eye makeup accenting the almond shape of her whiskey coloured eyes.I touched her knee as we pulled up to the security gate. She startled.“You will be fine. I will stay with you.”She nodded, but the tension kept rolling off her.I hated this. Knew as I waved to the guard and pulled around back to the garage that she was here to be shown around, shown off, a token of my father’s of my family's triumph.I also knew my father had not forgotten how mad I was at him for forcing me to marry her, and he would do everything in his power to have her alone with him so that he can drill the truth abo

Kaya. The house was so quiet as I came down the stairs from my nap. I almost didn't notice Ace sitting alone in the living room. "Hey, how did you sleep?" he asked as soon as he saw me. "Like a baby." i said smiling as I joined him on the sofa, "I feel so much better.""Well, I am glad to hear that." he said as he stretched out his arm for me to lie on his chest. "What are you doing sitting here in silence alone?" I asked looking around us. "I didn't want to wake you up, plus sometimes I love the silence." he said kissing me lightly on my forehead. This time I did not pull away or cringe. It felt good. "I am looking at some pictures of us, the things we did.""oooh," I said with uneasiness. Over the past few days, whenever we talked about our past it always seemed to end up badly. He would not admit it but he was so mad and angry at me that I didn't remember him or us or our life together. Today seemed like a good day, I didn't want to talk about our past. “This is from a we

Cyn.I woke up feeling tired and confused as I looked around yawning still trying to register what was happening and why my head and eyes were so heavy. I looked at the window. Sunlight filtered through the crack between the curtains.I blinked, confused for a moment, but the soreness between my legs quickly reminded me of where I was.The clock beside the bed read 7:04 a.m.I dragged the silk sheet up over my naked body, sat up, flinched, and lay back down. Beside me, the empty pillow lay sideways. I touched it, leaned over and buried my nose in it, then reared back and shook my head.What the hell was I doing?That's when I realised I was actually back in the mansion, in my own room. But how did that happen? The last thing I remember, I was at his parents house in his room. I had absolutely no memory of us coming back home, or getting to bed. How did I get here was the question lingering in my head. I was in pajamas, whoever brought me back made sure I changed into some pajamas

Cyn"Where are you taking me?" we had been driving for a while now, I was so deep in my thoughts I had no clue where we were or where we were going. "The ocean, I thought you would like that." Paul's said calmly smiling at me through the rear view mirror. I had never been to an ocean before. I had always wanted to go, but being under that roof with all the security, it was hard for me to go, which was why I appreciated that he had brought me here. Paul understood that I did not want to talk, and he respected that. He never pressured me into talking about anything. We just walked along the shore in silence. It was so peaceful, with only sounds of the wave. I wanted to get into the water, it felt warm on my feet. But I had not carried any change of clothes and we were supposed to be heading back home soon. I looked around, as we made footprints all over the shores, you could tell which ones were mine just by how small my my feet were. "I don't want to go back there." i finally sa
