Appearances can be Deceptive Chapter 53
Sometimes it is interesting how life turns us upside down, one moment we are doing very well and the next we have to run to a hospital for fear that a loved one will die, when Flora called me desperate because she couldn't call an ambulance, I was distressed, I knew that the youngest was sick, but she had apparently gotten worse, was already in the studio at that time about to start painting, but as soon as my phone rang, and I knew of her despair I wasted no time and called Mr. Joseph, it was funny how life puts people in your life at the right time, can be a way to give a little push in our lives, as if she knew everything that was about to happen. I had left everything behind without time to explain, at that moment I could no longer remember Draven or my painting, only Megan came into my mind, I grabbed my bag and ran out of the studio listening to Draven and Kiana's questioning. The hospital was not far, I just had to walk a little to the right of the studio, when I arrived I saw

There were only a few people inside, the beds were all next to each other and there was a big open door on the other side of the room, I ran my eyes around the place and saw the same man approaching Ethan and Flora, when I was about to approach I heard the woman's voice a little high - You! - Flora looked very tormented, even with that one little word I knew there would be no good there. - What's wrong with me? Is there a problem? - Unsurprisingly, the man was totally cynical. - You were the one who said my daughter had just a little flu, are you happy now? What kind of doctor gives a diagnosis without even looking at it properly? - Now I understood why the woman's reaction was so sweet, I had never seen her talk like that to anyone. - I think you are confusing me with someone else, ma'am. - As the man had his back to me, I didn't know what his look was at that moment, but from his voice I knew he was mocking the situation. - I'm not confusing you, you're the one who said it was j

I looked up only to see my neighbor looking at me with a little corner smile, probably mocking my face, but I didn't blame him I had probably embarrassed myself trying to stand up to a man, but tall and mostly but strong, I have no doubt that if that man had hit me, I would have fainted in seconds. - No need to mock me, I'm embarrassed enough as it is. - I replied as I ran my hands over my face, trying to control the nervousness I was still feeling. - I'm not mocking, in fact, I would have done the same, but someone beat me to it. - The man spoke as he walked in front of me and sat down next to me, I straightened my posture and looked at him somewhat incredulously since he seemed so calm at that moment. - Hard to believe. - I said as I narrowed my eyes at him, and the man smiled and looked back at me. - Maybe it's really hard to believe that I would hit another man over a woman, but I would be willing to if it was for those two. - Ethan leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms

"Breathe Ayanne, Flora is not dead! She will wake up soon! It's okay! PLEASE, GREAT! DON'T GO INTO PANIC, YOU SILLY GIRL! I had started to scream in my mind when I was pulled to the side, not understanding anything, the woman's hand was not there, but in mine, but that feeling still persisted, I looked to see who had pulled me and I saw another woman taking care of Flora, at least it wasn't that man, I don't know if I could protect her from him. Ethan still hadn't returned, so I tried my best to stay focused and forget what had happened, I couldn't become a nuisance to them, I wiped my eyes and took a deep breath, looking at what the doctor was doing with the woman lying on the bed. - What happened to her doctor? - I asked when I finally managed to normalize my voice. - She had a drop in pressure and seems a little dehydrated, I'm going to put her on an IV. - The woman finally answered by looking at me. - Is that bad? - I asked, not understanding what that meant. - It's not as bad

Draven was so cute every time I heard him I was happy, I didn't know how this feeling came about, but I liked it, even if sometimes he seems a little strange, but who isn't strange in our life? It is not as if we are all perfect, after all, be wary of what seems perfect may be just a shell, I live in my shell, but Draven shows me that he already left it a long time ago, when the man invited me to eat on the first day, I had been in doubt especially with his initial behavior, but knowing him better I could see that he was not all that, and I believe that was what made me accept him. - All right, see you later! - That was the last thing I said before I heard his nasalized smile and the man hung up. I looked at my cell phone screen again smiling and feeling happy, it seemed that the crisis I had had before didn't even exist, but, he was my unconscious cure, I knew I was doing the right thing, still smiling, I put the cell phone in my purse and turned my gaze to the woman and the child i

- But... - I was interrupted by him. Are you afraid that your boyfriend won't like seeing you with another man? - Just at that moment he had looked at me, but I didn't understand why. - N-no, that's not why. - I had been shy about the mention of the word boyfriend and didn't know how to react to it. - So you just don't want to be seen with me, I see, that's fine, I'll just drop you off at the door of the hosp - It's not that either, actually, I don't know exactly, it just feels like I'm being inconvenient! - I answered absently as I ran my hand through my hair and threw it back, I didn't want to talk that way, and it made me feel weird, a lot of the time I didn't know what Ethan was talking about, he made me feel strange things, it wasn't like Draven who made me comfortable next to him, only in the moments that the man was very close I felt a strange tingling in my belly, but with Ethan it was different, this feeling appeared every time the man did something, just looking at me was

Lunch with Draven was very quiet, he was excitedly telling me about a trip he had taken to Canada and how amazing everything was, I was trying to pay as much attention as possible while he was talking, but it was almost impossible, since I was worried about Megan, I didn't blame the man, Probably he was just trying to distract me a little, when we got back to the studio, Kiana filled me with questions about what happened and who was the man who was with me in front of the studio, apparently she had seen me with Ethan and since she is new in town like me, she must not know who the man was. I explained very little, I just said that he was my neighbor and that he brought me from the hospital, I didn't want to say anything that was private or anything that he didn't like because I believe that we still don't have this degree of intimacy, either with my neighbor or with Kiana, since it hadn't been so many months since we were all their learning together, but leaving that aside, I went back

His eyes drifted to my mouth and all I could hear was his gasping breath, and my heart pounding in my ears, I myself hadn't noticed the moment I had held my own breath either, I felt my body on alert, but at the same time I had no reaction to the surrounding things that seemed to not exist, but, in front of me there was only that man that had been sculpted by the greatest artist of this world, and it seemed that he was about to kiss me, his face was slowly coming closer to mine, his eyes focused on my mouth while I waited for it. When his breath was already on my face with a few centimeters to go my cell phone rang on my desk, I startled and turned to look who it was, Draven let go of me at the same moment, I picked up the cell phone seeing an unknown number, I wasn't going to answer because it was exactly a stranger, but Flora and Megan came to my mind, maybe the woman's phone was discharged, and she was using Ethan's or someone else's. - Hello? - My voice came out a little hoarse 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
