Appearances can be Deceptive Chapter 60
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

- Yes, but there isn't much time, ah Akira is at Flora's so... - The man gestured. - Ah, okay, I'll follow you. - For some reason that had gotten weird, but I honestly don't know how. - We had left food and water, so he's probably already eaten, he's just holding on, you know. - Ethan spoke up as we walked, and it didn't take much for me to understand what he meant. - Okay, I got it, he needs to go to the bathroom, no problem. - As soon as we arrived in front of the woman's house Ethan opened the door and a hairball jumped at the man, as if he had missed me, I thought the animal had forgotten about me, so I wasn't expecting much, but when I least expected it began to lean on my leg and wag its tail, I bent down and smiled at it. - Looks like you haven't forgotten me! - I had to admit that I was very happy about that, it was nice to be greeted with such excitement, maybe that is how pet owners feel when they come home. - I believe his memory is excellent indeed. - Ethan spoke as he

- See, I told you not to be afraid. - I smiled as I took a deep breath and leaned on the door, the animal looked at me as it wagged its tail frantically, I bent down and after petting it I released it from the chest, letting it free. I hung my purse and put the keys on the hook beside, and did the same with the rope that was holding the pectoral of Akira, as soon as I put them in place I took my cell phone from my purse and turned on the lights in the kitchen and living room, I removed my sandals feeling the warmth of stepping on the floor barefoot, while I did all this the little animal accompanied me. - Okay, I'm going to take a bath, make sure you don't make too much mess, wait for me in the living room. - Maybe I was sounding like a crazy person talking to Akira as if he was really understanding, but I liked to believe that he understood, after all I was getting bored in that house alone, not that I was complaining, it was better alone than with people mistreating me, but maybe I

I don't know exactly how long it took, but I woke up in the middle of the night on the couch with Akira sleeping curled up under my arm, he was so warm, and it was so comfortable to hold him, I know it smelled like green apple, and it was incredibly relaxing, I looked forward when the sound of the television suddenly increased, it was some movie that was playing at that time, I got up trying my best not to wake the puppy, and when I did, I sat down on the couch, grabbed the remote on the table and turned it off, leaving the house totally silent, I looked for my cell phone on the couch and didn't find it anywhere. "Where did I leave it? I stood up, feeling the cold ground on my bare feet." I stretched as I raised my arms under my head, I walked to the kitchen in order to quench the thirst I was feeling, I took a glass from under the drainer beside the sink, I went to the refrigerator and took a bottle of water that I always left full, as soon as I put the liquid in the glass I return

- All right, think Ayanne! Think! - I looked around my bathroom, seeing the tiny window that was high up, there was no way through it, I couldn't reach it myself, and the basket was fragile and would break under my weight. "THE BASKET! I shouted in my mind, I saw the object of clothes with some pieces and the closet, I put the cell phone on the floor along with the knife and dragged myself with the puppy." I removed some garments and put the little animal in the middle of them covering him almost completely, I managed to leave an air gap that faced the wall, with him hidden I could act freely and run, as soon as I finished I turned around hearing the phone. - Ayanne?! Are you there?! AYANNE? - Ethan shouted my name, I picked up the phone from the floor and put it back to my ear. - I'm here, I can't talk much, he's coming, but it's okay, I won't let him hurt Akira. - As soon as I answered him another thunderous sound was heard thundering through the room scaring me, but when the noi

After leaving Akira with Ayanne I went straight to the hospital, there wasn't much to do, so I sat on the edge of the bed with mother and daughter. Flora was already better which made me calmer, but Megan was still sleeping and very weak, but according to the doctors the medication already started to work, so soon she would be better, as the time went by and sleep didn't come I caught myself thinking about those eyes, And to think that she was so close to me while holding the puppy, I could smell her delicate perfume of some flower scent, her soft breath that beat on my face while she watched me, and that was the funny thing, she tried to disguise that she wasn't doing anything, even though it was clear. "And to think she was with that guy. It was even ironic how life was, Ayanne was an amazing person, she had so many qualities, how did she seem to have flaws? But they were minimal, weren't they? Who really cared about that?" After all I am the most flawed person there can be, both i

"Is she crying? I suspected it because I heard some strange noises when the call started." - T-there's a ho-man here! - The woman stammered, confirming my suspicion, but I didn't quite understand her sentence. - What? What do you mean? I don't understand, why are you crying? - I asked again what had happened, mainly wanting to know why she was crying. Flora at that moment had woken up, she also seemed to be in a light sleep. - There's a man here! A man broke into my house! Help me! - My heart raced, and I practically jumped out of the chair with my eyes wide open. Flora looked at me worriedly. - Stay calm, I'm coming! - I despaired, especially knowing that she was practically alone in the neighborhood, I knew that it would be difficult to ask for help, I looked around not knowing what to do first inclined to just run to help her. - He's coming, he's at my bedroom door, please! Please! Help me! - Her voice was anguishing to hear, my whole body was getting goose bumps at the thought

It had taken me a few seconds to realize that I was no longer being pressed into bed by that monster and that Ethan had arrived, when I heard his voice was frighteningly angry. - COF! COF! COF! COF... - I struggled trying to regain all the air I had lost, my eyes had blurred and the feeling of his hand on my neck and his weight on top of me left me completely breathless. - COF! COF!... - I coughed disoriented trying to catch my breath and, at the same time, my vision, turning around looking for Ethan and managing to find him when I heard his voice. - You're the one who's going to die today! - I had never seen Ethan speak like that and when he pulled the man off me, I had no reaction, all I could do was cry as I saw my savior standing at the foot of my bed with clenched fists and a deadly stare at that monster, I felt no fear of him. At that moment I understood that Ethan even though he didn't know me was there for me, the man looked completely soaked from head to toe, he looked lik

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
