VINCENT.Angry at myself, I locked myself from this world. Returning back to this empty domain after losing all the bets of my life, waiting for her. But then, who didn’t complete her swear, how can I expect her to return to me? Skeptical, angry and heartbroken, I was only waiting for her. Counting each minute, anxiously waiting for her.I was still in the condition where I last saw her, refusing to freshen up, tapping my foot continuously on the ground and a painful trail of patience- The one who knew where my spare keys reside and opened the door.Shutting my eyes, I felt her coming closer but trying to ignore her presence, I remained stubborn.“Vincent…” She called me hesitantly, coming closer. Gritting my teeth, I looked away, “Get lost.” “Are you infuriated at me?” Sighing, she sat on the armrest of the couch.“Yes, I fucking am.” I hissed, glaring at her. I won't be convinced today."Vincent, I am sorry..." Exhaling, she sat beside me, trying to make me understand tenderl
Breathless, all her restraints shattered today and she ended up confessing in a melodious resonance. Losing her senses, our faces were extremely close.“I… love you.” She confessed, lowering her gaze shyly this time.Pants mixing up in this mute room and smiling gleefully.“I knew it…” I cupped her cheeks, unable to suppress my grin anymore with tears brimming in my eyes.“I.. always did. I didn’t want to. I tried to stop all this from growing wild but-” Taking a pause, she swallowed the lump in her throat and greeted my delighted gaze with her tender ones, not denying anymore.“-But, I couldn’t stop myself.” “I cannot stop myself from not falling for you.” Grabbing the hem of my shirt, she continued.I was absolutely lost in the mesmerization of the moment which stole her ability to perceive her actions and words. And I was loving each second of it.“It all happened so fast, I-I couldn’t grasp. I couldn’t stop. It-It all grew and grew… All the paths I took to forget you were leadi
ANNALISE.'OH GOD!'Neglecting my boundaries and perceptions, I lost myself entirely and blended into the concupiscence. My desire overcame the best of me and I was no longer capable of holding myself back.No doubt it was the most pleasurable and most aesthetic moment of my life as if a long lost yearning of mine was fulfilled.Control slipped and I let it happen.‘Oh my God. I did it. This is done, there was no going back.’ Waking up the next day in bed. I was in his shirt, reaching my thighs and underwear while he was only in his trousers.He was sleeping peacefully with a smile on his face, lying on his stomach and looked undeniably tempting like that.“Vin- Vincent.” Calling him tentatively, I poked his shoulder, face burning in a gleaming crimson shade, waking him up from his peaceful slumber.“Annalise…?” Groaning, he woke up, opening his eyes and scanning my body from top to bottom."Do you need something?" He asked groggily, rubbing his eyes."I.. uh.."My blush grew dark
After I returned home, Papa rushed to my side worriedly. I knew I shouldn't have stayed all night long but I couldn’t bring myself to bid departure from his domain either.“Elise, where were you?” Papa asked fretfully, holding my shoulders.“Why didn’t you come back? What happened?”The look.“What took you so long? What were you doing?” The look on his face was enough for me to understand that he was frightened I might not have done something which I shouldn't and it dreaded me.“It.. uh.. It was too late. So I stayed there. I am sorry, I should have told you guys.” I reasoned quickly, forcing the lump in my throat.I got scared to tell him. He was not ready to listen.“We were worried sick about you, Elise. What happened? Is he okay now?” Mama also rushed to my side, scanning me from top to bottom.“Yeah, I talked it out.” I nodded, lowering my gaze.I didn’t know what to tell them or anyone. “And now. What are you going to do now?” Papa asked hastily. He was scared, praying I mi
VINCENT.My heart was fluttering with constant glee merely by thinking how beautiful it was where my soul, my heart, my body greeted her with an unbreakable link.She gave me life with her acceptance and that was what I was waiting for all this time, I don’t desire anything. I have found my deepest yearnings scattered in my laps.Humming to myself with an uncontrollable smile over my lips, I was having breakfast until my phone rang and she called.I smirked, it seemed like my beloved couldn’t stay away from me.Picking the call, I called her in my most affectionate tone, “Hey, Love-”But, sadly, her worried resonance came from the other side, calling me in a panic.“Hello? Vincent?”Furrowing my brows, my lips curled downwards, Not understanding what happened to her now to react this way.“Annalise, are you alright? You don't sound good.” I asked worriedly, narrowing my eyes in confusion followed by a sigh of disappointment.What happened now?“E-Edmond came. I... I couldn’t bring mys
ANNALISE.What is wrong with Vincent? Why is he doing this? Just for me to experience the same pain he did…I think I should do it.I believe I should.I should see how it feels to lie while someone else had captured your heart but then again another voice came from inside me-‘Haven’t you been doing this the entire time? Remember how you got into the relationship with Edmond in the first place.’I froze.“Elise?” Mama entered my room with a knock while I submerged in the realization that stiffened my body.“Are you alright?” She asked, sitting next to me as I slowly turned to her with a sorrowful expression.“Huh? Yes, I am okay.” I hummed, averting my gaze worriedly, not sure what to do now.He would be gone for a month and how was I supposed to do anything in that month?“You don’t look like it. You can tell your Mama if there is anything. I know you are afraid to tell your Father. But, you can trust me.” She reassured me, giving my back a reassuring tap.“Promise you won't be angr
This month had passed but it was a painfully long time to spend. Spending each second with a lie to convince Edmond, stopping my heart from confessing and running to him.This whole month was tortuous as I waiting for him without an exact time but then I realized one thing-‘He was waiting for me with the same torment for two years. I grew weary in a month and he waited like that for years…’When that realization sank in, I considered his actions good because I deserve all this. I should have experienced the same thing.But- I was not him and he was not me. If he did, doesn't necessarily mean I would too.We are different.“Hello? Linda? When is he going to return?” Pacing around my room, I called Linda, hoping she would help me. I couldn’t spend a second. It was becoming unbearable now.“I have no idea, Elise. Sorry.” She apologized sweetly.“You are his assistant. Don’t lie to me.” I growled, done with her excused, waiting painfully for him to return and hold me.“I have been order
My eyes widened when I saw him back, looking dominant and handsome as usual, features enhanced with a strict expression that I couldn’t understand.“Vincent…?” Whispering, finding him in my room after a devilishly long time, tears brimming in my eyes.He in his strenuous postures, hands in his pocket. Wearing his black shirt and pants, sleeves rolled to the elbow to expose his desirable skin. “Annalise.” He called me firmly.Ignoring the strictness in his voice, a grin came to my eyes followed by a screen of tears of delight, my emotions slipped through the cracks, I lost entirely in him.“You are finally back!” Beaming with purest form of joy, I jumped into his arms, embracing him with all my might to forget the world I was living in to hold his strings. “I missed you so much. Why did you leave me like this? Do you have any idea how it was for me?” His one hand gradually over my head and dragged down slowly to wrap around my shoulder, providing me with tranquility as I sank in hi
5 YEARS LATER.I was setting the school bag of my four years old son, Jamie. He was messy just like his Father. Sighing, I was putting the lunch and placing the books properly.“Can I take Dahlia to school with me? Please, please, please?” Jamie called me excitedly, pointing at his Father and three months old sister who were sleeping on the couch in the hall.“No, you cannot.” I sighed, frowning at the pair and giving him his bag.“Look, Mama, Papa and Dahlia are sleeping on the couch.” He giggled, clinging onto my arm.Actually, Dahlia was not sleeping last night and Vincent said proudly that he could take better care and took her outside and look at them now.Half of his body was hanging from the couch, holding Dahlia.“Ah, him.” I giggled, shaking my hand after seeing how uncomfortable he must be.“What are they doing outside?” Jamie asked, tugging my sleeves.“Your Papa proudly accepted he could take better care of Dahlia and seems like he is stubborn in proving it.” I sighed, set
ANNALISE. I was carefully listening to his words, how his eyes were refusing to greet mine and it was aching me but he couldn’t see. He was not looking at me in the first place to notice the tears glistening in my eyes. “Come. Let’s end this pointless relationship.” And I lost my forbearance when he dared to speak what I cannot have imagined, releasing the tears I managed to suppress so far. And brimming with fury, I slapped him hard to knock some senses into his damn mind which astonished him to no extent. “How dare you call our marriage pointless?!” I whisper-yelled. Grabbing the collar of his shirt outrageously with tears scattered over my cheeks. “Annalise?” He called me hesitantly at my unforeseen action as I forced him to stare into my desperation, to witness my love and despair too. I wanted him to see my condition. “Do you have any idea how deeply I am in love with you? That I have given my all to our marriage?” I asked desperately, shaking him a little to hear m
After I mindlessly hit Edmond and lost myself, unable to control myself, the neighbors came and forced me to stop until the cops came and took me away.I was looking down the whole time, not moving an inch with an anguish stacking in my chest, I was heartbroken. I felt devastated for losing control and doing what I shouldn’t.Something is seriously wrong with me. Here, in the station, I was locked up and Annalise was talking to Edmond.“I am begging you, Edmond, please, don’t file a case against Vincent.” Their voices were faint but I could hear how my Annalise was begging Edmond to not send me to jail. Tears brimmed in my eyes as I kept staring at my hands out of woe. I didn’t want to hurt anyone. I didn’t want to make Annalise cry. This is not who I am, that is not who I should be.I am sorry, I am so sorry…“Edmond, please…” She continued to beg Edmond for her husband’s image. I had never been behind the bars in my entire life. I felt horrible, I was never like this and with
The next morning, I was in my bed, refusing to move an inch. My head was throbbing in pain. I couldn’t move my body, it was burning.It was because of the stress, whenever I worried too much, my body began to burn, my head began to hurt terribly and I didn’t know how to deal with this ordeal.For a while, I remained motionless, covering myself with the blanket until the tenderest hand of my angelic wife dragged the sheets down from me. “Vincent. Wake up.” She whispered softly.Removing the duvet and sitting next to me. “I don’t want to.” I groaned, turning to my side, hiding my face in the pillow, not in the mood to move. I had borne with this feverish feeling before when she was here, I wanted to display that I am in pain and stay with me.Before I was alone, I had no one to take care of him so no matter what state, I must go to work but I have a reason to stay.I won’t go today.“Why?” She called but I refused to listen to her. Glancing from my shoulder, I looked at her timidly,
VINCENT.The following week, limitless thoughts were roaming in my mind. I was tense, I was perturbed about what I should do that could save my marriage. I could feel it under my fingernails that things were on the verge of falling apart all because of my behavior and I was impotent to stop it.I failed to control, I failed to keep her happy. In fact, I made her cry after promising myself that I wouldn’t.I feel worthless. I feel terrible.It was Sunday, my soul was at solace to hold my love. We were spooning on the bed, I was holding her, her back pressed over my chest.“How are you feeling now?” I whispered, biting her earlobe when she woke up from her nap.Annalise was having a headache constantly so I massaged her head until she fell asleep and took a nap with her as well.“Better.” She hummed, relaxing in my arms, smiling tenderly.I hummed and shifted, sitting up slowly. Worried how to confront her about what I knew I must. I couldn’t lose my love with my own hand.I cannot mak
“YOU ARE A LIAR!” The sound of his thundering cries echoed in the room and they hurt me in a way I was unable to recover. The sound I unintentionally created. He covered his mouth, sobbing. And I couldn’t bear it, his sorrow was immeasurable and it made me guilty. Shutting my eyes, I screamed to release the shame gathered inside me.“I AM SORRY! I AM SORRY! I AM SORRY!” Crying my anguish out, I held the hem of my dress. My tears were flowing, he was not the only person whose heart was torn apart. The regret that was built inside me had already stolen my mental peace. I don’t want to hear from him that I am his culprit. I know I am.“I will apologize as many times as you want, Vincent but please don’t be away from me.” Crying, I came closer, tears rolled down my cheek. My body was deprived of strength, I accidentally stumbled on my steps but Vincent held my arms to refrain me from falling.“Be careful!” He gasped quickly to hold me. He couldn't watch me falling or getting hurt
“That I am going to steal you from this world and ensnare in a way, only ‘I’ would exist.” My breath hitched, my eyes widened in terror when I sensed Vincent’s dominant form before me, glaring down at my body which made my soul immobilized. “Vincent…?” Swallowing hard, I forced my weak orbs to look up at his assertive form. He rested his hand over the headrest and placed our heads adjacent.I shivered violently when the fumes emitting from him were felt by my skin. Unable to utter another sound, I knew he was furious. I gasped when his hand from the headrest moved across and rested over my shoulder, giving it a lethal grip which warned me not to do anything vacuous.“That you are going to become mine in an exquisite way that nobody would be able to stop me from possessing you.” “Vincent, please-”I was about to plead but he leaned down to my ears and growled seductively, burning my skin with his minty breath.“That you are going to become. All. Fucking. Mine.” I trembled, glanci
There were countless questions and thoughts roaming wildly in my mind, thoughts that I wanted to share with someone to find and know what was happening.He cannot keep an eye on my actions, that is not okay. I won’t let it.And I knew for it, I had to do what might outrage him but I must do it.Before Vincent could come looking for me, I wanted to seek answers so I called Edmond to meet me in a restaurant.I was anxiously waiting for him, my hands were freezing by the thought of Vincent’s fury. It was scaring me, It was stressing me out.“I didn’t expect you to call me here. What happened? Is your fairytale coming to an end?” Edmond came, smirking mockingly at me but I growled at him.“Shut up. I have called you here to know everything.” I hissed in a low tone. He chuckled and took a seat, arching one eyebrow.“Everything? I thought I was a liar and the bad guy here.” He taunted, leaning back on his seat.Inhaling deeply, I was not in the mood for argument so I came to the main conce
ANNALISE.After spending a memorable and unforgettable time alone, away from everything we returned back, back to our routine and I was feeling strange lately.I didn’t expect Vincent to get this furious because of my harmless prank. I was only kidding around but the way he got perturbed, that made me worried.I wanted him to improve but I agree it would take time. Vincent is attached to me, he couldn’t fathom losing me. I am all he has after all. He was like that all his life, of course that would take time for him to adjust, to settle. Marriage is a sacred and big responsibility, we need time.Vincent was humming to himself, his towel over his head as water dripped to his tempting exposed chest. He was about to leave to grab his white but I stopped him.“Love, I can get your white shirt.” I spoke sweetly, stopping him in his tracks, smiling sweetly.“No, no, it’s okay.” He chuckled nervously, stopping me.“Come on,” I whined, pushing him back playfully with a wink. I like doing sm
