I would do it again

Robert was struggling, haunted by the thought that Ethan was suffering from being away from his mother. The child would wake up crying at night, was eating poorly, and had developed a fever, which led Robert to take him to the hospital. He was unsure about how to raise a baby, having no prior experience, and while he didn't find it impossible, he was also overwhelmed by the knowledge that Alice would spend a year in jail. He was troubled too by the unresolved issues surrounding his son's disappearance, the theft by Henry Taylor at Ethan's birth, and the way Simon Leclerc had managed to clean everything up, continuing to do so despite Bethany Walton's attempts to bring them down. Simon Leclerc remained untouched, and only Alice Taylor bore the consequences.

After the fever had passed, Robert returned home around seven in the morning with his son. Beth was there, comfortably settled in his living room.

Robert had told her he had a lot to focus on and didn't have time for her games, but

    Claiming she was nervous would be an understatement. How had she, Alice Taylor, found herself in jail at almost twenty-two years old, already divorced and separated from her son? If someone had told her two years ago, after marrying Robert Graham, that her life would take such a drastic turn, she might have defied her father for the first time, either by escaping or firmly refusing to marry Robert. But she had obeyed, and everything that followed is now history.Wearing the standard-issue gray prison uniform, Alice was shown around the large jail, housing about seven hundred inmates. She arrived with certain privileges, including being kept away from the general population in an isolated cell. In some ways, this was a relief. She didn't see herself as a criminal like the others and was terrified at the thought of living with women who had committed heinous crimes or sharing a room with strangers.This was the lowest point any Taylor had ever reached, and Alice continued to set unfortu

  • Abandoned Wife    Goodbye, Beth

    On the day of the visit, Robert found himself fussing over Ethan, combing his hair three times and changing his clothes just as often, clearly stressing both himself and his young son."Do you think you need a haircut?" Robert mused, smoothing Ethan's locks only for them to spring back into their natural wave. "Your hair's getting pretty long. Let's see what your mom says; she might have a better opinion on this. I think it’s too long, what do you think, Ethan?" The baby was visibly upset by his father's indecisiveness, and Robert too was anxious. He wanted Alice to see that Ethan was well-cared for and that she didn't need to worry. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but this is the first day, and I know it's important for her, for all three of us. It's a big day for you too, you'll be in your mother’s arms." The room's door opened, and Bethany entered. Annoyed, Robert placed Ethan back in the crib and approached Bethany, searching her hands roughly for the key, which she, with a smile, did not

    Sitting on her bed, hands clasped together, Alice let tears drop onto her legs as the minutes swiftly passed. It was the time for her visit, but Robert hadn't arrived yet. He had promised he would come, and the fact that no one had come to fetch her indicated he wasn't there. She stood up, walked to the door, and peered outside. The corridor seemed deserted. Then she heard footsteps approaching. Could it be a visitor for her?"Against the wall, hands on your head," the guard instructed before opening the door. "You have a family visit, Robert Graham. Do you accept?" The question was unnecessary; she had been waiting for them desperately."I accept," she replied joyfully. They handcuffed her, and Alice didn't have time to dry her face.Entering the visiting room, the first thing she saw, the first thing her eyes desperately sought at the back of the room, made her smile.It was her son!She wished for the handcuffs to be removed quickly, but everything had its process. Once her hands w

    As Robert watched the scissors move around Ethan's head, his heart was in his hands. He silently pleaded, "Don't move, Ethan. Please don’t move," while Ethan barely blinked and strands of hair fell around him. Although Ethan remained still, Robert felt more anxious than his son.He had taken Ethan to a child-friendly hair salon, and after the haircut, they gave Ethan a bath to ensure no stray hairs irritated his skin. "Wow..." Robert was speechless when they handed his son back to him. "You look so grown up. Did you grow with the haircut?" He stared in amazement."When their faces aren't covered by hair, they often look a bit older, especially if you're used to seeing them with longer hair," the stylist commented. "Do you like the cut?""I think... he looks so grown up, his face looks more serious, and that expression...""What about young Ethan’s expression?""It’s his mother’s expression. Wow," Robert said, smoothing Ethan's eyebrows before kissing his forehead.It was their third v

    Robert, strolling through the shopping mall with a content smile, was filled with optimism. The lawyer had initiated the process for Alice Taylor's house arrest, and he had just finished setting up a comfortable, spacious room for her, complete with a large bed and a variety of pillows to support her back. He had even ventured to buy some clothes for her, anticipating her needs and comfort.Their relationship had evolved positively, marked by warm smiles and pleasant interactions during their visits. Robert was eagerly preparing for Alice's arrival at his home, committed to ensuring she had everything she needed."Robert." The familiar female voice caught him off-guard, and despite his reluctance, he stopped and turned. It was Sofia Taylor.As she approached, her expression was stern. "Sofia Taylor," Robert said, his tone edged with distaste."You say my name as if it's an insult," she noted."In my mind, it is," Robert replied bluntly. "The only reason for us to cross paths is if you

  • Abandoned Wife    Very late

    Alice was ready, excited, and very much so. She was eager to tell them both that she would be with them that very week. She wanted to see Robert's expression when he found out that she would be joining them in just a matter of days. The knot in her stomach and the unyielding excitement made it impossible for her to stop smiling. She was so happy... she wanted to burst through the door, see them both, and embrace them. She would finally be free! She would leave that cell behind and be with her son, living healthily with Robert and enjoying watching Ethan grow. Pacing back and forth, Alice was aware that it was time for the visit. She approached the door but didn’t hear footsteps. Why weren’t they coming for her? She was almost certain that Robert would already be there, the first to arrive as he was every day, every week. Sitting down restlessly, her eyes never left the door, and she began to feel desperate. She heard footsteps, but no key turning. Running to the door, a woman

    He felt very concerned because he believed he had made a mistake; this didn't seem like a safe place for his client, Alice Taylor. He observed all the destruction, the lawn, stones, glass, fragments of a car, and Robert's exhausted expression. What had happened? Did the woman who just left cause all this? Was this why Robert and his son missed the visit? Alice was so worried, thinking something bad had happened, and it appeared to be just something personal with Robert Graham, possibly an ex-girlfriend."Is this where Alice will come?" he asked, without taking his eyes off the house and recalling the earlier scene. "I don't know if you understand how important this is, or if it matters to you as much as it does to her. I used to think it did, but seeing this... I have my doubts, Robert. Alice is coming here in two days, on Wednesday she's being transferred to your house, and this is where she's supposed to come? I mean... is there a risk that a woman might come and attack them?

    "We will make it this time, Ethan. Don't worry." They passed the rigorous inspection control; nothing could be taken into the visiting room, they even checked Ethan's diaper and replaced it with a new one, as well as the inspection that Robert was subjected to. None of that ever bothered him, I mean... it was worth it to bring his son to see his mother!They arrived in the room just seconds before Alice, and... the young woman's expression upon seeing them was almost wonderful, except for her tears that slid down her face when she saw them both. They approached her, and Alice enveloped them both in a hug, breathing a sigh of relief upon seeing they were well, despite the lawyer's message the day before about traffic delays."I know it was because of the traffic, but you don't know how scared I was. I thought so many things... Robert, I was so worried. I haven't seen you since Friday, and I missed you so much." She leaned her head against Robert's chest for a few seconds, then took Etha

    After that celebration, Robert and Alice had a couple of hours alone, before the inauguration event of their company.Robert touched his wife's finger, sliding down the ring that was there, looking so good in his hand."My wife..." the word tasted like honey in her mouth, but her lips tasted more like honey, painted in a soft tone and addressing her husband's."My love," he joined his lips with Graham's and began a dance that would undoubtedly lead to other things.Behind them the bed was waiting for them.The man's hands searched desperately behind the dress, without finding the zipper, he bit Alice's lower lip in a plea for her to help him get rid of that dress before he went crazy.Her laughter betrayed her, making mischief to have fun with Robert, despite seeing him desperate."Ah... did you find it funny?" I can enter in a different way. I'll show you." He ran through Alice's waist with his hands, fell kneeling in front of her and in a quick movement he lifted the skirt of the dr

    "Why again?" Ethan was at his feet, without taking his eyes off his aunt, from all the sisters she was the most similar to Alice, especially after she had lost weight, a thin Alice looked a lot like Sam. "If they already divorced once, why get married?""The first time I walked to the altar was to please Dad. And believe me, I didn't have the slightest desire to marry, neither to Robert, nor to anyone, more than anything because I was in love with Jared. A wedding with him was a sacrifice, in its entirety. Much less did I see myself capable of loving him, I knew that he didn't want home either, we didn't know each other, there was no link between the two. And it seemed that it would be impossible to have had it."What now?""Haven't you seen her?" She looks at him and sighs," Loren replied. "She is very much in love. It's normal, Robert is a sweetheart, Sam."Is it the same Robert as...?" He looked at Sofia, then at Alice. "Why do I ask if I already know?""Yes, it's Robert Graham him

    That trip turned out to be a very bad idea.I was hoping that Mary would see him there and like the surprise, but it was the opposite.He was affected by his words.It was there for her, not because Mark was also present. Mary Jane said that it was important to her and he wanted to show her that it could also be important to him.The gesture was not well received."Why does this come from you, Jeremy?" I expected it more from his daughter, never from Jeremy, because he was the one who would lose the most. "Has anything happened with Mary Jane?" How is the situation there? - Mr. Taylor didn't seem to know that Mary was in the country. - Tell me. You can trust me."I fell in love with someone else," Jeremy said, sitting in front of Mr. Taylor. "And that person doesn't want to be my lover. I think... if our divorce doesn't intervene with anything, that option could be considered. What do you tell me?"Divorce?" Do you think it's convenient for you or your family? They still have a huge d

    "Alice!" she ran to her sister, happy to see her, hugged her, squeezing her against her. A somewhat anguished Robert approached the two, surrounding Alice by the waist to separate them, considering that Mary was squeezing her a little."Don't squeeze it too much." He asked. Mary lowered her arms from her sister and greeted Robert, just as happy to see him. How are you, Mary?"Since when have you been so delicate or careful?""Since always," he replied, surrounding Alice's belly. "Now more."I'm pregnant," little Alice told her sister.Mary Jane put her hands to her mouth, unable to stop the surprise that came to her with the news."What a joy!" Now I understood Robert's precautions, although they were still exaggerated. "Another baby. Congratulations to both of you, I see that you don't waste your time.Alice took her sister's hand, taking her to the car, gave her a second hug and a kiss.Robert entered the suitcase and the two of them were talking."How are you?"

    He entered his son's room, he was asleep, the suitcase was already at the door.He kissed his forehead and went towards the door, giving him one last look."I'll be back in four days," he said, it didn't matter if Andy wasn't listening to her.He left the room, turning off the ceiling light and only leaving the one on the bedside table.At the exit door was Jeremy with his arms crossed.I knew Mary Jane's plans and no matter how much it bothered her, I couldn't stop her from doing anything. She was there by her own decision. And for his son.But, despite the fact that in those months Jeremy had tried some things for them to make the passes, Mary Jane did not forgive him for blackmailing her with her son, and only words passed."Mary, will you really leave?" She made a lump in her throat, afraid that she wouldn't come back, that she wouldn't care about either of them."Four days, Jeremy.

    "I don't know what you did to make things happen like this. Maybe you didn't do anything and it was due to Alice. I'm here to tell you myself. Thanks to you... Bethany won't pay for what she did to my sister. I don't blame you for what Bethany did, but I thought you would at least like her to pay for the damage done to my sister. I don't even know how I could think that, when it's clear that if you kept the secret it was because you weren't interested in anything that happened to Charisse. And, even after this, you served to make her leave unscathed. I admit that this is not the first time I have been disappointed in you, but I thought you appreciated my sister, Robert. I don't know why I'm still waiting for something from you, when you let me see over and over again what you are."Jared, I didn't do anything so that Bethany wasn't convicted."Your damn name could not be mentioned at the trial!
