Stephanie Miller.

Two weeks later…

I returned home after having a long and exhausting shift at the hospital. It was a very hard day, on which I didn’t even have time to have lunch.

My last patient died during the operation, because of cardiac arrest. By the time Amelia arrived in the operating room, it was too late.

So, I really need a warm soak in the tub, a glass of wine, and to sleep for the rest of the night.

When I enter the apartment, the lights are off and many candles illuminate the place.

Standing next to the hallway, Matt is waiting for me with an enormous bouquet of white roses, my favorites.

“What is all this, my love? Did you prepare it?”

“Well, yes, although I must admit that I received a little help. Remind me to say thank you to Emily.”

“Oh! That’s why she wasn’t at the hospital around three.”

Matt smiles at me happily as he approaches me. He takes me by the waist while he tells me with his hoarse and seductive voice, “Happy twenty years of knowing each other, dear.”

My smile freezes as I realize I just screwed up. I completely forgot that today marks twenty years since that time in the park. I just manage to say awkwardly, “T–thank you, my love. S- same for you.”

Matt looks at me very amused, raises an eyebrow, saying, “You forgot!”

“What? No! of course not!”

“A-ha... It’s a good thing that I know you like the back of my hand. I knew you would forget it.”

My face blushes intensely, while he laughs more, amused, as he looks at me.

“And it is something excellent that, despite being together for twenty years, you still cannot lie to me.”

I cover my face with both hands, trying to hide my embarrassment, while I laugh nervously.

“You caught me. I forgot about it. Forgive me, my love, but I was very busy at the hospital and in the last operation of the day, I lost my patient.”

I make a sad face at him, while making my puppy dog ​​eyes.

“You’re lucky that I’m completely in love with you. You know well that I forgive you everything and more.”

He tells me that, hugging me with his powerful arms. I place mine around his neck while I stroke his hair.

I look carefully at his beautiful face and his incredible blue eyes. I sigh at the realization of how much I love this man. Matt looks at me and says, “That sigh? Is for me?”

“Yes. Just like you, I’m just as in love with you. And I still love you with the same intensity as twenty years ago.”

“Well, I’m a very lucky man, then.”

“Yeah! How lucky you are!”

Matt looks at me like I’m the most important person in his life. I can see admiration and devotion in his eyes. I smile at him as I kiss him tenderly.

Matt pulls me closer to him, seeking to intensify the kiss. I feel how his tongue asks for access to what I consent to.

I feel like his hands, which are on my waist, go up and down my back, sending multiple chills down my spine. We are enjoying each other’s company when his phone rings.

I separated by telling him, “You must answer, perhaps it is important”. Matt tells me, “Don’t listen to it, it’ll probably stop”.

While he continues kissing me. The cell phone does not stop and continues ringing intensely.

“Matt, answer the phone.”

“Damn! Alright. But don’t even think I’m done with you. Tonight is just the beginning.”

I smile at his comment and nod at his words as I sit on the couch. Matt takes my hand, while answering, “Hello?”

“Mr. Anderson?”

“Yes. Who is it?”

“My name doesn’t matter. The relevant thing about this call is to tell you that your future wife is lying to you.”

Matt tightens his grip on my hand and looks at me, worried.

“Oh? And what is she supposed to lie to me about?”

“In her fidelity. She has been unfaithful with me. She is a shameless woman, pretending to be something she is not. You shouldn’t marry such a woman! She doesn’t deserve to be with someone like you.”

Matt looks at me again as he says calmly and coldly, “Hum... and I guess, do you have some proof of these accusations? I mean, you are denouncing her so convinced.”

“Isn’t my word enough evidence?” replies the voice.

Matt smiles sarcastically to which he responds “Hum... NO! Now you are going to listen to me carefully.”

His tone turns from sarcastic to cold, threatening, and downright scary. “Whoever you are, I’m going to find you. And when I do, believe me, you will regret having been born. Nobody talks like that about my fiancée. NOBODY! Nor does it go unpunished. It is necessary to punish evil acts, including slander. And believe me when I say this, I’ll make you pay!”

Then, the call disconnects immediately.

“What happened? You’re scaring me,” I tell him.

He raises an eyebrow at me as he says, “Wait here.”

I watch him call Liam. Liam Stevens is a hacker. Usually, it is very difficult to locate him, but Matt is a good friend of his, after he helps his mother recover her investments after being scammed.

After a few moments, Liam answers. “Hello old man! To what is the honor of your call due?”

Matt responds coldly. “I need you to trace the last call received on my cell phone.”

Intrigued, Liam asks him. “Okay, can I ask why?”

“Yes, you can. He’s a fucking bastard making up that Steph cheated on me with him. I want to know who he is so I can smash his face!”

“Damn! Remind me to never make you angry, Matt.”

I look at him, open-mouthed. So that's why his mood changed so drastically.

Would it be a good idea to mention that they also called me two weeks ago, before our big fight? I think so.

Well, I better tell him now. I sigh as I tell him. “Darling, there is something I must tell you.”

He answers me impatiently without looking at me. “Wait, dear.”

“Matt, What I need to tell you has to do with this!”

That catches his attention while he tells me. “What are you talking about?”

“They also called me two weeks ago, before our last fight. They told me you were a liar and that you had been unfaithful to me with her.”

“Her? Who is she?”

I see how Matt looks noticeably confused.

“I don’t know that. I didn't recognize her voice. I only knew that it was a woman’s voice who spoke to me. Then she hung up.”

He seems to think for a moment, then says, “Hum... It’s fine, dear. I’ll tell Liam to trace the call, too.”

Then, Matt puts his cell phone on the speaker.

“Hello old man? You still there?” says Liam.

“Yes, I’m still here.”

“Well, according to the records, they made the call from the Capriccio hotel, room 3E. It’s in the name of a certain John Doe.”

“That’s very helpful! Matt tells him sarcastically.”

“Okay, let me check the records for the credit card that was used.”

We listen to how he types from his computer and then adds “Ha! I found you, motherfucker!”

He raises an eyebrow as he asks. “What did you find?”

“Shit! Matt, you won’t be happy.”

Matt tightens his grip on the cell phone while I watch as his jaw also tenses and he breathes heavily.

“Who is it!”

“The credit card belongs to Stella Miller, who I believe is …”

Matt interrupts him by saying, “Steph’s half-sister.”

But I must admit that it doesn't surprise me at all. She has always envied Stephanie, for her family, for her life, and for me. One night, before the kissing incident two weeks ago, when we stayed at his father's house, she got into my bed, offering herself as if she were a prostitute. I said to her, “Stella, for the sake of the family and to protect your reputation, disappear from my sight! You don’t want to find me in a bad mood.""And out of the deep love I have for your sister, I won’t say what you’re trying to do. But listen to me carefully, child.""You approach me like this again and I swear I will expose you in front of the entire society, like the whore that you are. Stay away from us and, above all, stay away from my fiancée!” After the kissing incident, Steph banned me for a week. She talked to Stella and in t

    Stephanie Miller.After Matt found me in the park, we returned to the apartment to consummate the reconciliation and, I must say, he was more passionate than usual. He made me cum five times in a row, and he still wanted more. It’s such a wonderful thing to know that, despite time, we can still love each other in different ways and Matt... Is a spectacular lover. Every time he makes love to me, he makes me cum in a thousand ways, always trying to make me satisfied before he does.I open my eyes lazily and see the dim light that sneaks through the curtains. I don’t know what time it is, but I’m just happy to know that it’s the weekend and I’m not on call. I groan at the realization of having to get up, because my stomach is rumbling and I stretch on the bed, protesting. Out of nowhere, someone caresses my hip with a pair of warm hands and continues to touch my clit furtively after reaching my center. I smile at the sensation he provokes in me, and I turn so I can observe him and giv

    Stephanie Miller. We arrived at the hospital and quickly got out of the car. The security operation that always invades us when we go out together is immediately deployed. We walked and took the elevator to the eighth floor, where the VIP wing was located. My father always reserves that area of ​​the hospital when someone in the family needs medical attention. We entered the wing, and I saw dad typing furiously on his cell phone. His gaze is distant, which highlights the wrinkles on his forehead. I clear my throat and say, “Hi, Dad.” He looks up, fixes his gaze on both of us, and says, “you’re finally here! Why did you take so long, darling?” He gets up from his seat and greets us both. I answer, “because my phone was on silent since I’m not on call this weekend, Dad. I only looked at the phone when I went to the kitchen. But I am already here. I’ll go examine Stella.” “Yes, please go and let me know if anything happens.” A voice of concern fills our conversation. Matt says to

She looks pale, as if she were a rag doll, lifeless. I look at Johnson. He looks back at me, saying, “I will do everything I can to bring her back, Steph.”My anger takes over and I yell at him, “Get your hands off my sister, Johnson! It’s your fault this is happening! Olivia, check her pupils!”He opens his eyes wide, looks to his side and tells her I’ll do it, while exclaiming, “damn. She has a dilated, non-reactive pupil!”“Take her to the operating room, NOW!!”Suddenly we see how Stella’s vital signs return. She opens her eyes and vomits. Olivia lifts her up, so she doesn’t drown. A second later, she’s having multiple grand mal seizures on the stretcher.I cover my head with both hands as I shout, “give her 2 mg of Lorazepam! Olivia, call Dr. Brown to operate on Stella. Let Johnson step aside. I swear I will report your ass to the comm

    Stella Miller. I woke up with a severe headache. What the hell happened? I open my eyes slowly and see a very familiar face staring at me just a couple of inches from my face. I try to speak, but he cuts me off. “Never involve me in something like that again. You heard me? I almost lost my job and my license.” I sigh and say, “before I answer your question, tell me. What the hell happened?” Johnson scratches his head in exasperation and says, “When you idiotically thought of hitting yourself in the head with that gun, you hit an aneurysm.""Yes, surprise. You had an aneurysm. With the hit, it exploded, and your brain was bleeding. You told me it was just blows to the body and that you wouldn’t need anything serious and since I’m a complete idiot, I believed you. You almost died, you understand, right?” I just listen to him, showing no emotion. Then I tell him, “Stop whining, Johnson. Behave like a man! Yes, I knew I had an aneurysm, and no, I didn’t want you to do the CT.” “You a

    Stephanie Miller.After Dr. Brown told us that Stella was fine and that her bleeding resulted from a brain aneurysm, I couldn’t help but feel bad. As a neurosurgeon, I understand the symptoms caused by the condition. However, Stella never told us anything. She kept her symptoms completely silent.Matt tells me that her condition does not take away from what she has done before and that, although it could not be proven if she was involved in the credit card conflict and the threatening calls, he thinks she was involved. Honestly, I don’t know what to do. My rational side wants to talk to Dad and let him deal with the whole situation, but on the other hand, I feel sorry for my sister.After seeing her, Matt and I left the room, leaving her alone. When we were checking out of the eighth floor, I forgot I left my cell phone in her room.“Matt! I have to come back. I left my cell phone in Stella’s room. Wait for me here.

    Stephanie Miller. Two months later. After a long day of surgeries and procedures, I just want to get to sleep. I got home and fell into bed, completely dazed with exhaustion. Suddenly, the incipient ringing of my cell phone disturbs my lazy state. Reluctantly, I looked at the phone and saw Amelia’s name on the screen. I close my eyes, sigh, and answer her. “What’s up? It’s not like you haven’t seen me today.” “Don’t you dare fall asleep, Steph. Today is Girls’ Night! “Oh, no!” “Oh yes, as your bridesmaid, it is my duty to give you your last night as a bachelorette, and you will obey me in everything. Is that clear?” “Can I cancel? I don’t want to go out tonight, Amelia.” “Hell no! With Emily, we prepared everything. The gang has already been warned and they will wait for us. The limo will pick you up at 9:00 p.m. You need to be ready, Steph.” “Alright. I’ll go change then.” “Perfect. See you in a bit, queen.” We both cut it off when I heard the door open.

Not after what happened in that office. You’ll have to face that horrible lawyer. He’s a real jerk.”Enzo gave me a tender smile as he said, “Don’t worry, babe. Now, the most important thing is you and the babies. We did all this to prevent you from being here. There’s no point in you staying and you know it.”I sighed deeply because I know Enzo is right, as he always is. I reluctantly agreed. He kissed my lips and walked into the courtroom behind Matt.

That gave me exactly almost two hours to sleep and try to bury the dramas of my life, if only for a moment.I lay down on the bed and almost immediately, sleep came to me. It was like I was walking through the incredible vineyards of Italy. Everything around me was green, while the evening sun sheltered my bare shoulders. The view was simply extraordinary.Majestic mountains rose before me, while in the distance, an old house housed the laughter of children playing in the surroundings. A whisper in my ear brought me out of my shocked state. “I love you, dear.”I turned my face, and Matt was there. His black hair was disheveled by t

I don’t know if it’s the pregnancy hormones or if it was really me, but at that moment, I wanted him.I wanted so much for him to kiss me, to take me in his arms, sit me on his desk and make love to me like he did years ago. Oh, how I wanted to feel his cock inside my pussy again! How I needed to see him leave marks on my skin, eyewitnesses that I belong to him!But what the fuck is wrong with me? Since when have I become unfaithful? This has to stop, Steph! Nothing good will come of all this. You are a MARRIED woman! You can’t go around hurting those around you. I can’t do to Enzo what Matt did to me.And there it was. The intrinsic reminder of what happened the day before my failed marriage.

Honestly, I don’t know what problems they both have, but I’m secretly glad they do. It may sound selfish, but my love for her has not diminished at all in all these years. It has only increased.Every day that I can spend a few minutes with her, talk to her, or just see her smile makes my day considerably better. I find myself smiling more and being nicer to everyone.

Thank God, I have never had these types of problems with the girls, since they know how to defend themselves. Most likely, if they were here, they would take revenge on the children who made Christian suffer.I hug him tighter, protecting him against my chest. I look up and tell Enzo, “Call Matt. He has to know this.”He sighs, nods silently, takes out his cell phone and calls Matt. The director quickly approaches me, saying, “But Mrs. Toussaint, there is no need to bother Matt with this.”I frown, enraged, as I say, “Are you serious? You, being an educator, don’t you consider this to be serious? That children tell him this is not childish or something about age. This makes up school abuse. I presume you have protocols to address these types of situations. Right?”The director widens his eyes and stammers a “Yes.”“Do you mind explaining them to m

And as always, it was great. However, the little voice in the back of my head kept telling me how much I would like to feel Matt’s lips on mine again. What? What the fuck am I thinking? Get out of there, Stephanie! It’s just the hormones making me hornier than usual.I sigh, thinking about all this, as I look out the car window. “Babe, we’re here.” Enzo’s husky and velvety voice interrupts my thoughts.I look around and realize that we are indeed already at Saint George’s School.
