He takes a long blink and heaves out a very heavy sigh that worries me more. This seems so heavy. But what could it be?"It's not like anything I have handled before. This is different. It's...complicated." The heavy weight of his tone explains just how heavy this load is.I don't know anything about striking and closing deals, but I know he is good at what he does. If this is a deal, no matter how complicated it is, he will find a way around it."I don't know what it is, but I trust in your wisdom and capabilities. I know you will handle it well." I solace, hoping I can get a smile from him because I can't bear seeing him this way."What if I mess up? What if I make a wrong decision?" He queries.Huh? Since when has he ever made a wrong decision business-wise? I haven't heard of such a time."I trust you, Ray. You've never failed. This won't be your first. I am sure you will do great out there. And whatever decision you make will be the best. I believe in you." I say."Thank you, bab

I yank my hand away from him the minute the door of his room bangs shut behind us. My face is all drenched in tears. I am barely seeing anything, so I take a moment to dry some of the tears. I need to have an explicit image of him this last time because I am certain that there is no turning back. This is it! He has made his decision, and I have made mine.It stings!It sucks!This is something I never dreamt of nor would I have ever expected to ensue. But this is the sudden reality now, and I have to embrace it. It's the end of our sweet love. Now I get what Christopher Martins meant when he said love comes slow, but it goes way so fast. I can't believe ours is gone. This soon. And in just a blink?"You are going nowhere until I say so, you hear me?"I snap my clammy, wet face to Ray, my eyes burrowing through his flaming ones. They are an inferno of fused, dreadful sentiments, blazing with redness. He seems like an enraged beast right now. Why? Who among the two of us should be seeth

I am a walking zombie as I ascend the damn stairs to my room. My room until morning. The betrayal and impudence that Ray and his family have smacked me with are still cutting through my poor heart like a sharp, double-edged dagger against the flesh. I am torn and shattered and hopeless. But there is not even a single drop of tear leaving my eye. I sucked them all when I turned my back on Ray, and there is no way I am letting even a drop slip.I have been insulted and humiliated. I am broken, yes, but I am stronger than this. He doesn’t want me? He was playing with me all along? Does social status matter to him? That freaking Tarah Pathetic Mauricio is better than me? I can’t fit in his freaking well-heeled circle. Fucking fine! So be it! This pain will pass, and the time will come when I will never remember it again. I just need to disconnect myself from this place. Tomorrow, when I finally say goodbye to this cursed place, I will start my journey to healing. And with all the curvebal

“There is no way you will stain our name! You are not worthy to bear the Mazur’s heir and my grandchild!” She says, and I see darkness for a minute.I then toss my qualms aside, hoping that I am overthinking. The paranoia surging in me is unwarranted. I am not thinking right.“I still don’t get you, Madam!” I say, my insides convulsing with deep curiosities.“Two things are for sure: you can never be Mazur, but you can make a fortune out of this. In return, you get rid of that thing inside your belly. No other person can ever find out that you were impregnated by a Mazur!”Heaven just broke loose! The ozone layers are producing some nauseous aura; that is why I am unable to breathe. My vision is becoming vague, my legs fail to support me completely, and I find myself slamming on the bed. My head is rebounding with assorted mental rejections. I am in general dumbfounded!I thought they were heartless and vicious, but to this magnitude? Never in a million years would I have thought. I s

My phone beeps, and I lift my heavy head and drenched face from the soaked pillow. Again, I know what I said. That no tears again. But that blow from this family contravened my sleep throughout the night and summoned my tears from where I had locked them.How cruel can people ever be? How wrong can we be about someone? I loved Ray for three good years—three good years that I felt like I was on cloud nine because of the love that he showered me with. For me, it was not about the social standard nonsense or his name. I just loved him, and too much. I selflessly and senselessly loved him without caring about anything.I was hoping he would finally conquer his fears and introduce me to his family. I anticipated my child and him starting our happy family. I so much wanted to see the euphoric rapture from him when he learns that he would be a father soon. But all that turned into a nightmare. A bad dream. I was played for a big foolish idiot.But you know, I could accept everything, every s
