Used, deceived and betrayed by her own sister and husband. Milena is shocked beyond words to find out that every penny her husband took from her was spent on her sister. She is devastated to discover that the husband she loved so dearly had been having an affair with her blood sister. She is determined never to be nobody's fool again. She is set on taking everything from him and get back at her sister. This betrayal might've just made her cold hearted and she wasn't sure she could ever love again.
View More*MILENA*The next morning, I woke up with yesterday's phone calls on my mind, so I emailed my lawyer and let him deal with it. I cannot fathom how that person got my phone number, and I am a little worried about who could be doing this. Was it one of my sister's friends trying to get into my head? I would not put it past my sister to do something like that, try and make it all Dante’s fault and that she is an innocent person in this, which I know she isn't.Maybe she did not like me knowing she had married my husband, and thought about making it look like he had done this a lot of times before, and that she was another victim, planting the seeds of doubt.I had a nice long swim before making a quick breakfast, got the television on the sports channel and had it playing in the background, and put some of the finger-food in the oven on low heat to warm up, for when our guests arrived. I was looking forward to spending time with Dad. It had been a while since I had a chance to have a pro
*ARTURO*The day was exhausting, and by the time I had taken a shower and climbed into bed, it was midnight, my head hit the pillow and sleep came quickly, all thoughts of what Milena was going through left my mind. Either I was drained, or the ability to turn things off took over. I knew in my early days as a doctor, I would have things go over and over in my mind, making sleep impossible to claim, and I would toss and turn. I have since learned to block those sorts of thoughts out of my mind, and that might be what happened now.It was nearly ten o'clock when I woke, the sun blazing through the window. Last night I failed to close them, which was unusual for me, and I was shocked to see how late it was in the day. Throwing the blankets off of me, I raced around getting dressed. I was supposed to be at my parent's home by eleven and to grab some drinks. This was going to be a close run if I was to make it across town in half an hour at that time of day and I had to think of the best
*MILENA*It did not shock me that Rissa would be waiting outside of Dino's, where Dante was meeting me.Rissa would never be too far away from him, it was like a magnet, she seemed to be attracted to where he was nearly all the time. I am not sure if it was all on Rissa’s side, and she had Dante hoodwinked, or if they were in it together.He seemed to be shocked at the video, and Rissa was her usual selfish woman. Arturo saved me from any further confrontation, which I know would have got a lot nastier if Rissa could get away with it. I was surprised there was not a photographer hiding somewhere, or maybe there was, and I could not see them, but they had little to photograph.The evening was okay. My mind was distracted for most of it, as Arturo tried to take my mind away from the meeting with those two, and some of my sad past was revealed, yet he did not run, he stayed and was strong, and very supportive, though no matter how hard he tried, he could not completely remove that sadnes
*ARTURO*I watched the man enter the restaurant, and he did not seem too pleased to see me. Well, too bad buddy, if Milena needed my support from you, she was going to get it. I had already been told by Milena that she might get emotional, and she needed me to help her stay strong, and possibly help her out of the restaurant if she cried.What I learned whilst sitting there was more than I had expected. This low life before me could do such a thing to this beautiful selfless woman. In the time I got to know Lena and that was not that long, she had already shown she was not a gold digger and went out of her way to help others in little ways.For example, she brought a takeaway dinner at a restaurant we stopped at, and she gave it to a homeless man who was sitting, leaning against a shop wall. He was playing an old guitar for tips, his face lit up like a Christmas tree, when he opened the lid and saw what she had brought him.But this low life had been the one to dim her eyes, and break
*MILENA*After the meeting, I headed to see Mr Green. I gowned up and went in taking a tray of coffee with snacks with me. We restricted who could visit until after the operation, and if the family wished to sit with him, they needed to gown up and no kissing. We cannot risk any infection so close to the operation.“Good morning Milena, all set for Monday?'“Good morning, and yes. I have the media starting to promote it on Sunday, and wanted to warn you of this.”“Well, that will be interesting. I will have to watch the TV and see if I have a good face on.”He chuckled.“I did not think you would want a picture of you. I mean how you are now.”“I think they should come here and take a picture of me, so they can see how I am before the operation and what I am going through, don't you think?”“I will speak to Mr Philips, he is our voice to the people, and see if he would like to do that.”Mr Green was serious. I did not want to get him all worked up, and in the end, I agreed to mention i
*ARTURO*The interviews started and when a woman arrived looking like she was here to sell herself and not her product, I felt Milena stiffen. I knew there was a story behind that reaction. This woman looked at Milena with hatred in her eyes, but when she looked at me, I felt disgusted, like she had just rubbed herself all over me, and was looking at me as if I was her next meal. It was a total turn-off.An ex-friend, or the one that stole her boyfriend? Definitely something, I have seen that kind of reaction many times from my sisters, to smell trouble when I see it.But when a guy walked in, both looked a little shocked but looked more angry than anything once he recovered.His presentation was okay, but that was about all I could say, nothing that grabbed my attention. Most of them were mediocre, until the last one, and we all sat up and took notice. He understood what we wanted to project perfectly, and it did not surprise me when Milena told him he had the job, without consulting
*ARTURO*Tomorrow we have interviews, both Gustavo and I will sit in them, but Milena will be the one to make the final decision. This is the first time the hospital has ever put anything out to the media. We must get the right team behind us, to promote the good and to help us if things go badly.Milena is nervous, this is outside her comfort zone, but she understands the importance of having a good press.“Milena, do you want to walk with me in the morning? Can we talk about the interviews? Or just walk together, and I can keep your mind off it.”I was hoping she would give me an in.Something had not been the same. It was as if she had pulled back.Yes,we had agreed to stop having sex but we didn’t agree to not to be friends anymore.I was not sure if it was because we were working at the same place, and that had made her uncomfortable to be work with someone you had sex with, or if something else was holding her back. I want the Milena I first met back, the one that gave me a lot o
*ARTURO*The meeting in Gustavo’s office was shorter than usual. We had no new people on the waiting list for a heart and Gustavo was eager for Lena to get started, making more hearts.She was experimenting with a new compound, one she believed would be less likely to be rejected by the recipient. From what I understand, she had two hearts to go now, but with the old compound, the same that was in the pig and still going strong. Gustavo was keen to get one of the men on the list given the heart.The man in question was told about the experimental heart and was interested in giving it a go. He was not going to last much longer, and if Lena agreed that the man could have a new heart in less than a week, she would like the fellow to be there in the hospital, isolated from germs and on a drip for something she would not tell me about, but said it helped reduce the rejection.After more pushing by Gustavo,Milena agreed and suggested they get some contracts together, for her side of the hea
*MILENA*I couldn’t describe how I felt when Arturo left my bedroom that night.It had been hard for me to fall asleep but I tried to.I tried to accept this.It was the right thing to do.Plus,I could always use my vibrator.Granted,it wouldn’t be as good as Arturo but it could work.************My night was shattered past 4:am when my phone went off. I groggily rolled over and grabbed it, not checking the number.“Hello.”I was not fully awake enough to think clearly.“Milena Gordon?”The male voice asked. I pulled the phone from my ear and checked the number. It said a private number.“Yes. Who is this?”I wondered who would call me this early.“We are from the fraud squad, and we have some questions to ask about your case?”Fraud squad? What case?“Do you realize it is 4:30 in the morning?”“Yes, sorry for the early start. Can you come to the station?”“What?now?”“Yes, Maam.”“Okay, give me half an hour to get dressed.'“We will send a car for you.”Not sure how long I would be at
*MILENA*It was a diamond necklace with the initials MG.It was very expensive and I know this because when I saw it in my husband’s drawer in our bedroom,I thought it was for me.Our anniversary was fast approaching so I thought it was a gift to me so I looked up the necklace to see that it was made by a top fashion designer and it had been specially customized.I thought it was for me because it had my initials.I was yet to change my surname to his because I still went by Milena Gordon but I was going to do that soon.The necklace cost 50,000$ and just a day before I found it in his drawer,I had received a debit alert of 50,000$.Yeah,I was richer than my husband.A lot richer and because of how much I loved him,I allowed him have access to my money anytime he pleases.It didn’t matter at that time that he used my own money to get me a gift.I felt that it was the thought behind it that counts.But tell me why I am seeing the same necklace on my sister’s neck right now.My sister had...
