- The door... - I stopped as soon as I saw the woman from earlier standing at my door with a calm smile, which gave me a lot of goosebumps. - "Hello, my name is Laura Black, I'm Ethan's mother, nice to meet you. - I didn't know how to react, I was silent for a few seconds without knowing what to answer. "What do I do? Is she really his mom? I should be nice, right? After all, Ethan is my boyfriend, I should get along with his mother. I didn't really know what to do, so I forced a smile." - O-hello, I'm Ayanne, nice to meet you too. - I tried to be nice, even though I was scared to death. - We couldn't introduce ourselves earlier, sorry my son, he has a temper and I try. - He smiled as he took a few steps inside, inviting himself in. - You must be his girlfriend, right? Very pretty, is this your house? Do you live alone? - The woman spoke as she looked around, I looked outside quickly but didn't see Ethan anywhere and the lights in his house were on, so maybe he was changing or get

- 'But darling... I'm asking you to forgive me, you know I didn't mean it. - Laura's voice sounded extremely upset and hurt. - If you want forgiveness, okay, I forgive you. - Ethan lowered his voice, but his tone was still sarcastic, and for a few seconds a great silence formed. 'Forgiven for what? My God, what did that woman do to him!"? It was eating me up with anxiety and curiosity, but it wasn't even time to ask questions, let alone pry." - Do you... forgive me? - The woman repeated as if surprised. - 'Yes, that's not what you wanted, so I forgive you. - Even as he said it he could still feel his body stiffen, even if he was saying it, it wasn't really from the heart. - 'Oh my love, thank you so much, I swear I'll be a good mother to you! - The woman said excitedly, but I don't know what she did next, she probably advanced on Ethan, because he retreated, making me retreat together. - Great, perfect, now go back to your house. - The man cut off whatever she was thinking of doi

- At least you showed me that it was all just a little theater. - Her voice came out frighteningly serene, the woman stomped her foot like a spoiled child and walked out the door without caring about the rain, I felt my heart hammering in my chest like a child playing basketball, I looked at the man not with a look of pity, but of understanding, now everything made sense, she who was to blame for all this, from the stern look on the man's face, without thinking twice I ran into his arms, as soon as I touched his chest, I could feel how much his voice conveyed the opposite of his body, his heart was also in a rhythm above normal as if he had run a marathon, he hugged me as if he was trying to protect me, one hand on my waist and the other at the height of my shoulder touching my nape, but I just wanted to know what exactly he was protecting me from, his mother? I wasn't, but afraid of her, I was dying of anger just thinking about his words. - I'm sorry! - He whispered in my ear, I shoo

Even though he tried to hide it, he seemed annoyed, I regretted going ahead and asking the question, but now it was too late, words are one of the things that never come back, I got up sitting on the couch to look better at his face, he sighed and agreed with his head, I felt my heart heavy. - Yes... it was her and my stepfather, that's why I came to live with my uncle, when I did 16 manage to escape and... - I interrupted him, I didn't need more details, just that made me understand how much he had suffered at the hand of that woman, it was understandable, he was right to stay that way, and that's why I hugged him with all the strength I had, I hugged him as if my life depended on it, and his suffering was stamped on his body. - It's okay, you made it, you're safe now, you were strong so strong, I'm proud of you. - When the shock of what was happening passed he hugged me tightly, sinking his face into my neck, I felt something wet in the same place, that's when I realized how nervou

"- Of course I am, in fact, I don't think you understand anything that's going on, but I want you to know, that even if you don't like me... - I hadn't finished speaking when I felt the man pull me into his arms, he squeezed me tightly, for a few seconds I was surprised, but when I felt the strong beats of his heart I could see how nervous he was with all that, I hugged his waist and sank my face into his shoulder when I felt him sink into my neck." "Everything I had thought and done was in those words, all coming back to my mind." "For some reason I understood that reaction, especially when I understood how the man behaved with other people and showed himself differently with me, and especially with Flora and Megan, somehow I could feel it, even if I didn't understand why I could still feel it, Ethan was just like me, he had also suffered, I don't know for whom, but I know in what way, you know to outsiders, his face might be the mark of a nasty fight between grown men, or because h

When I saw Laura that day in the morning I had already realized that she would not leave me alone, but I feared that he would do something against Ayanne, that woman was crazy, a monster, everything she did in the past could in no way be erased, I spent the whole day lost in thought, I didn't know what to do really, but I knew that at some point my past would reach the ears of the woman I loved, and if she heard it I was sure she would move away right away, I was afraid of that, and when I picked the woman up from her work without having warned her it made my heart even more upset, I believed she would be upset with me, I was sure after all it was raining, and I knew she had left without an umbrella, when I felt her hug me like that I was even more nervous, I didn't lie about the cell phone I had forgotten to put it on charge, I would never in my whole life lie to her if there wasn't really a good reason. When I went to pick up Akira at Flora's house the woman asked me if everything w

- But honey, I raised you with so much love and care, why don't you need me?". - Maybe I had to remind that woman of everything I spent in her hands in my childhood, if that was called raising, I believe that not even a spider would survive its own poison. - HA! HA! HA! You must be sick, you can't be, did the jail burn your brain? How do you have the nerve to say that? How does a mother do what you did to me? You are really impressive, you deserve a big acting award. - I couldn't help myself with such hypocrisy. - Son I'm not acting, I mean it with all my heart, your father is on trial I swear on... - How did she have the nerve to still mention my father? - STOP TALKING ABOUT MY FATHER! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? A WOMAN WHO DIDN'T EVEN TAKE TWO MONTHS TO BRING ANOTHER ONE HOME!". - I felt Ayanne shudder behind me and squeeze my hand, I shouldn't let her go through all this, she didn't deserve to have to witness such a scene, I tried my best to contain myself before speaking again.

When I managed to keep calm, to return to my normal state, I got up, threw my coat on the couch and went up to my room, I entered my bathroom taking a look at my face in the mirror, I had been visibly shaken, I was pale and sweaty, I took a deep breath and took off my clothes and got in the shower as fast as I could, I needed to go back and take care of Ayanne, all that woman did today was harm us, everything she is involved in she manages to destroy, she did this with my father, I'm sure when he left that day they were both fighting. When I finished my bath I put on more comfortable clothes and went downstairs, I took the pot that Flora had given me that I had not yet taken out of the bag, I took Akira who was sleeping in his bed and went back to Ayanne's house. - Aya? - I called her when I thought she was in her room. - Are you feeling better? - Ayanne was pale, she was totally different from when I left her. "Damn, she had gotten worse while she was curling up at home, I'm such a

Flora had said that Ethan would fall in love with me again, but at that moment, I was the one who had fallen in love for the second time. My heart was so warmed by her words that I didn't even notice when the priest was speaking, I could only hear him when he said it. - Please, the rings. - I didn't know who had given them to me, but when I looked across the yard and saw Akira walking in with a bow tie and a little basket in his mouth, my heart melted. He was coming towards us so calmly and elegantly that he didn't even look like a wiggling ball of fur. - You taught him that? - I looked incredulously at the man next to me, who smiled and shook his head. - That was our secret. - When the puppy arrived, Ethan signaled with his finger that he would automatically sit down without letting go of the mini basket. - Good boy! - Ethan stroked his head and I bent down to do the same while he picked up the basket. - Good boy! Akira! As soon as we had the rings in hand, we turned to each othe

In the past, for me life was just life, confusing right, I'll explain it better, for me life was just existing, not really having a meaning, something to believe in, people to care for and smile with, to cry with or just love, for me life was just a life, it had no shape and was colorless, I used paint to give color to a beautiful picture, but nothing painted my own life. Now it's different, my life has a meaning, and I discovered that as well as loving Ethan I could love a profession, which was to be a teacher, but to be specific a drawing teacher, and my first student was finally Megan, who was always happy in my classes, she was going to start studying next year, and she was so excited.Flora too, now she had more time to herself and could take care of herself a lot more, she had time to herself, and you know that day Draven didn't lie, it was true that Liliana wanted to buy my painting, days later she called me, she said it took her a while to find my number, but she got it from K

I remember as if it were yesterday, when we returned home that frightening night, I had a surprise that hurt my heart to know that I had lost, Ethan's house was impeccably clean, and the table was set like a romantic dinner, but when I learned that the pasta he had made was bad because it hadn't been taken out of the water he felt disappointed, and my heart broke seeing him in that state, I remember holding his face and looking deeply into his eyes, if that dinner was important to Ethan then we would make it happen.- Let's have dinner, what you've done, and I'll thank you with all my heart for it, what matters is that we're together Ethan Black. - I kissed his lips in the process, and when I pulled away I looked into his eyes again, looking for some sign of comfort.- But this dinner was for me to give him something important. - His eyebrows were still down and his gaze was on the floor.- So give it to me now, I can't wait, and I don't want to wait, but for this surprise. - I let go

The more time passed, the more anxious I felt, Akira was lying with his head on my legs while I stroked his head, I was sitting on the floor, looking where the headlights of the cars could illuminate, that's where Draven's car was parked, no sign of them and the people who were here I was told were paramedics for a possible serious injury, which terrified me, if they were there it was a sign that Ethan could get badly hurt, I didn't understand much about hospitals, health people or the police, only that Ethan talked about home, but he forgot to say about this part of people who ride in cars to help the injured. - Ma'am, please treat your injuries. - A woman in a similar police outfit with red symbols said the same thing for the fifth time, I shook my head again for the fifth time refusing, I wasn't hurt, I didn't feel anything, they needed to save things for Ethan if he needed them, which I hoped wouldn't happen.- Sir, we found them, over. - A muffled voice was heard, I looked aroun

I was ready to accept my death, or at least be in a coma, or all broken up, but nothing, absolutely none of that happened, I had my eyes closed when I felt my body hit something, and a familiar smell and the sound of loud breathing took over my senses, When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the surrounding darkness, then the white silhouette of Draven in the window I had just jumped out of, and finally Ethan's face, his eyes were pure terror and relief, he was holding me tightly, he looked afraid that he was going to lose me at any moment, and to be honest, I didn't think I would ever see him again.- Ethan? - My voice came out as a choked grunt, I still couldn't believe I was with him.- Thank God I was able to get there in time. - The tension in his voice was so worrying to hear, as if he was totally out of breath, like drowning. Without much to think about, I hugged his neck tightly, feeling our hearts racing in one rhythm.- It was Draven! He said that one of the people

I felt someone's arms around my waist, and it felt like gravity was wrong, my belly was pressed under a thin place like the banister of a staircase, it was strange, I never felt like this, my body moved as if it was upside down. Strangely I smelled an unpleasant smell like a very musty place, a suffocating smell, I felt my consciousness return little by little, I opened my eyes seeing something white still a little blurry, but a familiar smell invaded my memory it was the smell of Draven, his strong perfume was memorable, because it was very strong.- W-what? - I still hadn't understood where or what I was doing, it was dark, but there seemed to be light somewhere in the direction I was looking.- O-where am I? - I tried to move, but I felt the grip on my waist, but strong.- Calm down, honey, it's okay, but if you keep moving like that you'll fall. - Was Draven crazy? - What are you talking about? - I tried to hold on to his shirt.- My love, have you forgotten our appointment? - He

I tried not to feel anxious as I watched the noodles cook, it was already getting dark, and nothing of her arriving, I felt lost without knowing what I should do, on the one hand I wanted to run from here now and look for her and on the other I believed that she was just celebrating with her friends and if I suddenly appeared in front of her I would look like a bossy boyfriend, but I was afraid that something bad was happening, I felt it in my chest, it was like I was underwater holding my breath to my limit, I didn't trust that man around Ayanne, not because I trusted her, I knew our relationship was precious to both of us, but Draven is a two-faced man.It's easy to be fooled by him, I've seen many women in that car, a pretty face, but everyone in this city knows he's a womanizer, they just don't care much, after all he's rich, money buys people, afraid he decides to go back to his cell phone.*If you need me, I'm here, if you're celebrating with your friends I can pick you up, but

I had been with this idea for a few days, I had put this desire in my heart, and I couldn't wait a second longer, and it would be on a perfect day, because I knew that Aya would win that contest of the paintings she was participating in, she had been talking about it for so long and when I saw her painting yesterday I was sure, it was incredible it seemed so real that I could feel the softness of the feathers in my hand, there was no way she wouldn't win.When I woke up I ran my hand over the bed looking for the woman next to me, but nothing, I opened my eyes, but nothing, she was not in the room, I scratched my eyes, and then I got up, without much to do, I made the bed and walked to the bathroom it seems that today she had decided to get up, but early, maybe she was very anxious, it would be understandable if she was, after using the bathroom I walked to the stairs, finally smelling the smell of pancakes that came from downstairs.And there she was, focused on not burning her breakf

It was like a dream being realized, Liliana was looking at me intently as if unlocking a memory, but I hoped not, because it would only show me that the woman before me was an equal, maybe I wouldn't win this competition, maybe I wouldn't be able to fulfill what I promised to Benny and Susan, but at least half of that dream and promise was being fulfilled before me at that very moment, when I finished my presentation, there was a minute of complete silence as if everyone was absorbing everything they had just heard.- It is really a difficult decision to make, all the paintings are unique and with distinct feelings, I would like to take them all. - Mr. Leonard was really dazzled by it all, he looked like a child looking at a candy stall, but he had his favorites, every child does, that's a fact.- Good father, let's not put this off any longer, just tell us which one you identified with the most. - Liliana hugged her father's arm as she looked at him in the corner.- Right, my daughte
