MICHELSON POVI HAD COME to understand one thing about thing life and that was the fact that regrets were easy to come by, I'd spent a few of my life making mistakes that would take me a whole while to regret.My pulse pattered to an uneven beat. Leaving spaces in my heart that were filled with vanity— It did know that, though, it did know I needed to decide in split seconds.There were only two occasions in my life I had pounded this loudly, and one was this moment, not indecision.Thankfully, I still had some time to react as the next thing I did was based on mere instinct, with a different part of me controlling my action.I had just put the phone down back to the spot where it was when I heard the toilet flushing and the next seconds she was walking out of the bathroom and headed straight for her phone.She cont
BRIANNA'S POVI COULD tell something was wrong but couldn't wrap my finger around it, the more I tried to think about it the harder it was for me to see.Camouflages, I could tell every bit of it when I saw one and that was exactly what I saw when I walked out of the bathroom and saw him standing right there in the middle of the room.Only a couple of minutes ago I had listened to my chiming sound from my phone.I could have sworn that I heard my phone ringing only for me to step out and find out that I had no calls, not even a notification.About three things I was most positive: First, It was hard for a man like him to stay away fromhis sins.Second, he was trying so hard to and I could see it in the way he looked and Finally, I had this feeling I could trust him again.Yet at th
CHAPTER 79 BRIANNA'S POV I walked in behind him, as we made our way to the room staring at the bandage wrapped over his hands . It has been there all along and I had not even realized it. "You took care of something?" I asked to walk into the room with him not understanding a bit of what he was talking about. "Yeah." He muttered shifting his gaze as though he didn't want to talk much about what had happened. He unwrapped the bandage from his hands that was already a bit soaked with blood and dumped it Into the bin close to where he was. Warmth curled low in my stomach, and I couldn’t help it but stared even more at him. The last memory I had of him being that injured was that night, the night he had smashed the mirror and hurt himself. He ran his tongue over his white teeth and sharp incisors, "I am fine he muttered." glancing at me sideways, with dark mirth in his gaze, a flame pulsed deep down in my heart. “You are going to be the death of me." I said under my breath, run
MICHELSON POVHIDING secrets was something I had sworn not to do with her again but with this incident I definitely knew it was a bad idea to tell her.I could see the look in Brianna's eyes, in a way it seemed like she could tell every bit of my feelings apart.I still felt every bit of the agonizing pain from my hands, and even after popping two to four aspirin in my mouth the pain just wouldn't leave.It was starting to look like it was a completely different type of pain from what I had prior thought, it was a pain of guilt, of having my hands stained with blood.A pain that came from my heart at the thought that I had almost killed her.Who would have known that I had that side of me.I had walked into her apartment with the hope of talking things with her and getting out after warning her not to call me again but it looked like she was expecting me to do so after all.If I had thought anyone was more manipulative than Paula I was most definitely wrong.As soon as I had gotten in
MICHELSON POVMy mind was filled with diverse thoughts, as I tossed and turned on my bed.The alarm clock noise echoed through the room.I hurried to turn it off looking at the side of the bed to where she was laying peacefully undisturbed by the heavy noise of the alarm.For a minute I sat by the end of the bed with my palm pushing my chin up as I ran my hand through my hair.I thought about everything again, the fact that I would be going to work again after staying away for a while, the more I tried to think about it the more I realized that it was far from the reason I was worried.There was this anxiety deep down again from having to deal with Paula.Paula— The thought of her filled my mind, there was this feeling that I had taken care of that aspect that had to do with her but regardlessly I knew how hard she was admitting to certain brute fact.I walked into the bathroom and after brushing and walking under the faucet I watched the warm water drain away like it was washing awa
BRIANNA'S POVI Watched his car drive out of the parking lot, as he waved and said good-bye with a smile so evident on his face, he had tried all he could to convince me not to worry about the whole situation but deep down I felt the entire situation still needed a deeper look.Not that he was doing anything suspicious, everything that had happened that morning took place normally, he had kissed the baby bump and my chin and done everything he had gotten so used to doing off late.Watching him leave, I was still left with that worry even as his car turned the bend and I couldn't see it anymore.Could it be that he had gotten himself into a fight?His hand was still bandaged and looked like he punched right through something, and for some reason I didn't know the name Stormy came to my mind.I realized that the sudden reaction had started when he picked my phone.I was starting to wonder that he must have seen a message from Stormy and had gone after him that night.Try all I could, b
MICHELSON POVI NEEDED her to get out of the office, but she had her hands all over me.There was something about her that I couldn't quite place. I had thought that after everything that had happened between us that previous night, she would not cross my path again.That was my mere thought, she had that same look in her eyes filled with seduction, it was almost as if I had not gone to her house at all the whole time."You need to leave." I said again."Really are you sure that is what you want?"I turned around, leaned against the table that was filled with undone works, ignoring the nerves coursing through me.There was no way I wanted to have a conversation with her, I knew deep down that doing that was like lurking into her den.A den filled with infidelity and sinful destruction, a den that I had one wine and dined in but that was the past.Now all I wanted was to get away from her as fast as possible.“ I warned you at your place to stay away . . . I am not expecting you to do
MICHELSON POV IT all happened in slow motion and took quite a while for my heart to process everything, Paula lips barely touching mine, Brianna walking through the door everything. If there was ever a time my heart beat this loudly itoat certainly had to be the day my father died. The whole feeling was getting Into my head and in my heart I was revisiting that day again. The funniest thing was it was happening in the same room as it had years back, it was in this same room he had fallen to the ground after having an attack. It had been in the same room I had rushed out panicking, and this afternoon was just like a replica of it. All through my life I had not been this scared about anything else than this,I was overwhelmed with the feeling of fear and anxiety and so many other feelings as I went after her. I knew deep down that she wouldn't wait, I doubted anyone would if they were in her shoes. The last thing I could ever imagine was having her wake through those doors and eve
