Draven stopped the car in front of me, bent down to look at me with a cheerful smile, seeing him surprised me but at the same time I was thankful that he was passing by at that moment, otherwise I wouldn't even know what to do. - Do you want a ride? I see it's a little crowded in there. - He spoke in a joking tone, I smiled and shook my head positively before speaking. - I can't refuse, all help is welcome at this time. - I answered, I saw the man get out of the car and go to the trunk, opening it, I approached the man leaving the cart a few inches behind. - You came at a good time. - I said, leaning against the side of the trunk and watching him organize some space, since the man was carrying a few cans of paint. - It was good that you came at the right time, to see your eyes first thing in the morning is the best thing. - I felt my face heat up and had probably turned red, as at the same moment the man let out a laugh. "I have to admit that Draven is very handsome especially und

Thanks to Ethan and Draven helping me get all the groceries into the house I wasn't tired and best of all it had been faster than when Draven and I had done it with the cart by the car, while Draven was bringing the last remaining bag Ethan finished putting the one he carried on the floor, I walked outside when I saw the man reaching for his cell phone in his pocket, I hurried to help him with the bag he carried. - I'll take it. - He stubbornly held the bag in one hand. - Give it to me, you seem busy today, I'm embarrassed enough that you made him help me. - I finally managed to grab the last bag from his hand. - Then I'll say goodbye from here, I really need to get back to the studio, don't forget we're going to schedule that walk. - I nodded and waved my free arm to say goodbye to the man who was already starting the car and leaving the front of my house. As the car disappeared from my eyes, I turned back around and got a huge fright as I slammed into Ethan's chest. - Sorry, Mr.

The man let out a beautiful smile and as if premeditated, the faucet exploded, spurting water everywhere, I got a light spray on my face as the man used his arm to cover me, but it didn't avoid soaking his shirt, I couldn't help but scream with fright. - Get the pot while I try to turn off the water! - I nodded my head as if it were a mission, ran to the end of the counter where there was a washed pan and ran back to the sink literally throwing the pan face down, Ethan was under the sink with his torso almost all the way in. - Did you get it yet? - I asked, getting anxious at the amount of water pouring into the sink. - Almost there! - And as soon as he answered, the water slowed down until it stopped completely. - There! - he answered, getting up from under the sink. - Did it really stop? - I asked incredulously, even though I couldn't hear the sound of the water anymore. - Yes, you can take the pan off. - I said, pointing. - You're not going to get me wet again, right? - I saw

- I didn't know you were also vindictive. - He replied incredulously, I raised my arms in celebration and the number one with one finger on each hand showed him. - Do you know what this is? - I asked. - A finger? - He answered the obvious, making a knowing face. - It's not just one finger, it means that we are even. - I answered, surrendering. - I get it, so tell me, Miss "tied", when are we going to start cleaning up this mess? - She asked as she looked at me. - I'll be right there, wait, shall we? No, you don't need to help me, you've done enough already. - I answered after having understood his question more deeply, since I had listened to him a little inattentively. - Then answer me something. - He said when he finished eating. - Go ahead. - I encouraged him as he leaned his elbow on the counter and put his head against it. - How are you going to fix your sink? - he asked me, my head dropped, as I remembered the disaster that had happened, I looked at the sink and the floor

- I'm fine! I'm just a little dizzy. - I answered, trying to reassure him, even though I couldn't see anything around me. - How are you? You're bleeding! - Ethan spoke close to my face, his figure was a little blurry, but I could see that he was down. - Hello? It's probably nothing, just help me up, please. - I asked him, feeling his fingers touching my face, leading me to lift it. - All right, don't move. - His voice was low and close to my ear, and I couldn't deny that I shivered, I nodded and felt his arms encircling my body. - I agreed with my head and felt his arms around my body. What? What are you doing? - I was startled by the man so close and me seeing almost nothing. - Stay calm, I'm just going to get you out of here first. - And as Ethan spoke, I felt my body being lifted off the ground, grabbing his neck in fear of falling. - Please don't let me go! - I begged, cringing and holding him tightly. - It's all right! I won't let go, but you're smothering me! - And when he

- Please don't notice the mess. - He said, opening the door to give me a wider view of his room, which was impeccably organized. - Don't worry, I don't do that sort of thing. - I smiled, trying to look gentle, Ethan had me sit down on his L-shaped couch and disappeared into a room. Apart from the closed windows with the curtain and the gloomy air in place the house had a nice smell besides being very clean too, nothing was thrown in any corner, the furniture like the gray sofa were spotless as if they were new, beyond the room, there was the dining table that on top of it there was a pot of some plant did not seem to be flowers only had green leaves, the table was a dark wood, but I could not tell which was the right tone was not good with these things home. - Here, sorry for the delay, was in the bathroom in my room. - I said, leaving the hallway and coming towards me holding a red suitcase in my hands. - It's okay, it doesn't even hurt. - I answered while I watched him deposit th

I was standing in front of my bedroom window on the second floor, from up there I could have a wide view of my new neighbor's house, I must confess that I found Ayanne Reese interesting, and I could clearly see in her eyes that she had a lot to hide, I wasn't sure what it could be, but there was a small suspicion. It was the first time that someone called me to dinner even if it was indirectly, my appearance always kept people away as much as possible, and I myself had already got used to this loneliness, not that the presence of Flora and Megan wasn't enough, but I knew that life was much more than my house and two people who one day might leave. I was surprised at myself when I spent that morning with Ayanne in her house and how my appearance did not affect her at all, it seemed so natural, it was so inviting to be near her, was it normal to be upset when I saw her with that snobby guy? Draven Leblanc, that man was full of masks, and here as it was a small town it was easy to know

When I arrived at my uncle's house he almost didn't recognize me, since I had grown up and with those cuts I had become another person, but because he had such a good heart he didn't care about any of those things, and when he died he left his house to me instead of giving it to someone else who was more important to him. I had become a monster, but some people didn't see me that way and I could at least be nice to them, since I didn't have much that I could give in return. The next thing I knew I was in front of the forest behind the city, it wasn't very long or very visited since it was close to the abandoned school, it was an isolated place and became worse when there were some cases of murder of women in that region and especially inside the school, they never found the killer and never had any victim to tell the story, there was only one thing that linked the women, all were new in town. There have been people and some policemen who suspected me and still do, but since it was n

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
