Hands Down Mariana Zapata

I put my t-shirt down, my hands shaking. I try to ignore them and stare at my reflection in the mirror. My hair color is dark brown and a vague hint of golden. My dad used to say that my eyes are ocean blue. A guy in my history cl once said that I had perfect s. Another guy said that I had a great body. They wanted to date me. And I dated few of them. I brush my fingers in my forehead. Then my dark, thick eyelashes. The side of my nose. My s. I run my hand at my neck, then across my collarbone. Am I beautiful? Honestly, I don't know. Maybe I'm not. "You were wrong, Angelina Valentine." A voice inside my head suddenly whispers. "Calm down, Angel," another voice whispers. It's the voice I loved. His voice is fading away. My hands start shake again, my breath rapidly quickening. I am losing control. I have to do something. "Goddammit!" I punch the mirror with my fist. It shatters into thousand pieces. My reflection has shattered into thousand pieces, too. The mirror now looks to me like an art. And my bloody knuckles. "I am sorry, Edwin. I can't promise you anymore, because you left me." I bite my to stop myself from crying. I won't cry. What's the point of crying? My sixth sense is suddenly alert. Somebody is watching me. I spin around. A guy is standing in front of the door, leaning against it. He wears a tight blue shirt, the sleeves folded. His black hair is ruffled and his hands are folded across his chest. The probable most amazing thing about him is his eyes. They are dark green. They are dangerous, beautiful and incredibly unreadable. And they are watching me.

Setelah didorong oleh cinta pertama suamiku dari tangga, aku mengalami keguguran anak kedua dan akhirnya mati di sudut tangga rumah sakit pribadi milik Grup Dariawan. Menjelang ajal, putraku yang berusia enam tahun menangis sambil memohon pada ayahnya untuk menyelamatkanku. Untuk pertama kalinya, Ridwan hanya mencibir. "Sekarang ibumu pintar ya, pakai anak untuk berlagak pura-pura menyedihkan demi menipuku." Setelah itu, dia malah menepis tangan anakku dan pergi tanpa belas kasihan sedikit pun. Kedua kalinya, anakku mengatakan aku terus mengeluarkan banyak darah. Ridwan hanya berkata dengan jengkel, "Jangan berlebihan, cuma keguguran saja, bukan masalah besar. Dia itu memang paling manja!" Ridwan bahkan mengusir anakku, lalu memerintahkan dokter agar tidak boleh ada seorang pun yang merawatku. "Semua gara-gara aku terlalu memanjakannya. Kalau nggak merasakan penderitaan, dia nggak akan pernah tahu kesalahannya." Terakhir kalinya, anakku berlutut di depan Mariana sambil terus-menerus memohon. Ridwan murka dan memerintahkan pengawal untuk melempar tubuh mungil anakku yang penuh luka keluar dari ruang rawat, serta membiarkannya menjadi bahan tertawaan. "Kalau berani mengganggu Mariana lagi, aku akan segera mengusir ibumu dari Keluarga Dariawan dan dia nggak boleh bertemu denganmu selamanya!" Anakku merangkak kembali ke sisiku dengan meninggalkan bekas darah yang panjang di lantai. Kali ini, keinginanmu tercapai ... aku dan anakmu sudah menjadi mayat yang dingin. Seumur hidup, takkan pernah lagi bertemu denganmu.

“Can you feel that?” “Paula, this is not right,” He tries to deny the spark between us. “But it feels right, right?” “Damn, Paula,” “Please, Sergio. Don’t deny us this,” He growled, and before I know it, he grabs me on my wrists and smashes his lips on mine, me hard. I place my hands on his face, participating in the . Our tongues bump against each other, fighting for dominance. He moves his lips down to my neck and sucks on it, sending chills down my spine, and my panties are already soaking . I let out soft , grasping into his arms. He runs his tongue on my face and stops on my ear, nibbling it, and whispers: “We can’t do this, baby girl.” Argh, so disappointing! He sits back in his seat and starts the car. It is only a matter of time before he gives in – he just needs a little more time.

I balled my hands into fists and chunked my shoe at him. A little drastic, but called for in the heat of the moment. Madden chuckled and lunged for me, tossing me over his shoulder. My body blazed like an inferno from the feeling of his fingers against my bare thighs. Every innocent touch he'd given me over the years meant nothing, because the rough skin of his palm soared me over into oblivion. I felt so undone I didn't realize he'd walked us all the way into my room until he tossed me face first onto my bed. Before I could defend myself, I felt his palm come down sharply on my butt cheek. A gasp broke from me, and my fingers tightened into the covers. Heat swarmed my cheeks and nerves skated down to the throbbing juncture between my thighs.
