[ Arianna Blackwood ]After my conversation with my mother, I found myself drowning into more conflict. I couldn't live with Rafael as long as he keeps harboring hatred and vendetta against my family, on the other hand, I was drawn to my husband.I was screwed and back to square one."Anna, you're back?"Rafael's surprised voice reached into my ears and I turned around to find him standing at the threshold of main door."Yes, I guess. Sorry, if you're disappointed to see me here. Well, I won't take long. I came here to talk on certain matters." I said in a clipped tone.His features softened. He rushed towards me and grabbed my shoulders, "I don't want you to leave, not now not never, Anna. I can't imagine my life without you, my love. Please, forgive me. I am ready to talk to your parents if it makes you feel better." He sounded vulnerable and desperate.I detatched myself from him and looked away."Let's talk, Rafael. I don't want us to live in continuous uncertainties." I said in a
[ Rafael ]I have been waiting for two long hours, still no words from the hospital staff how Arienna is doing after miscarriage. Yes, the doctors declared the baby dead as soon as they admitted her and they had to perform emergency surgery to remove the dead fetus.Arienna lost too much blood which caused her to lose her consciousness for a long time.Miscarriage, a simple word with eleven syllables but it has so much pain and shattered hopes within it's depth. It has the power to bring even the bravest heart at the bottom.I lost my child, my first child despite several warnings from the doctors. Yet I let her go through the trauma, not once, not twice but everytime we talked.She's right, I killed our baby. I don't deserve it call it mine because Arienna tried her best to be there for our baby but I was busy hitting my head on the wall of past. I became so mad that her pain got unnoticed by me."How dare you?"A voice roared and I got punched on my face, it was a hard blow. I stumb
[ Arianna Blackwood ]It's been four days.Four long days since I lost my baby, the last hope of my future. I am stoll trying to accept this news but my heart denies my loss. My lower body aches every time I move or shift, a constant reminder of my cruel fate.I don't deserve happiness since my birth. Why does God punish me? What did I do to deserve only grief and misfortunes in my life?"Ari, my princess." Dad's soft voice forced me to pull out of my mourning solicitude."Dad."I barely whispered as mu throat was constricted due to crying for hours since doctor broke the devastating news to me. I predicted my loss when I felt the pain during my argument with Rafael but a part of me hoped for a miracle to happen."I have brought your dinner. It's your mother's home cooked recipe, one of your favourite dishes and healthy." He placed a tiffin box on the table.He was trying to cheer me up. That's all my family could do, they stood like a pillar around me. They're my everything and I'd f
[ Arianna Blackwood ]"Anna.."Rafael's low voice rang into my ears. So, this man can also feel remorse!"Come and sit, Rafael. We need to talk on certain matters." I said in a flat tone."Please, let's just sit together and-" He tried to say something but I showed him my palm."I do not want to spend even a single moment with you, Mr. Martinez but we must clear a few things before we part our ways." I finally shot my blank eyes at him.He looked vulnerable, his eyes were puffy and red. By judging his appearance, I bet he hadn't been resting properly."Please, Arienna. Don't do this. It was my fault. Our baby died because of me." He said in a croaked tone, I observed his adam's apple bobbing up and down."It was my baby. It doesn't give you any right to call it yours just because you fucked me for once." I snapped at him, the bottled up anger and resentment was threatening to spill.He lowered his gaze and shook his head, "Alright, I won't. Please, calm down. We can talk once you get
[ Arienna Blackwood ]"Don't run, Aria. Mom is tired and she wants a hug from her princess." I shouted and heard soft giggles of my five years old daughter from behind the curtains.A smile stretched over my lips as I spotted her shadow. She was the source of light in my life whom I found during my trip to Mexico and instantly fell in love with two years old orphan who was abandoned by her birth mother at an orphanage.It took me an year of struggle and legal procedure to adopt her officially and bring her to home."Mom got you." I grabbed her and tickled her.The little girl wriggled to get out of my hold while laughing. I showered her pretty face with kisses."Stop Mama, it's ticklish." She pushed my face away."No, Mama wants a cuddle with Aria." I pulled her on my lap and hugged her."I am angry on you, Mama. You promised to come back early but you're two days late." She pouted with grumpy face."I am sorry baby but you know my work. I am the CEO and it's mandatory for me to be
My life had been a downward spiral, for the world, I lived a life that most of people can only dream but they never knew that it’s my golden cage. I couldn’t break through it even if my soul bled. I had no scarcity of money, everything was served at my feet but having everything I had nothing. I had been living a married life in which my husband abandoned me two and a half years ago but when had my life went wrong? I still ask myself this question. I married the man whom I gave my heart the very first time I collided with him in the same café. Our love story started since then and within six months of dating, we got married. Sebestian Blackwood, my husband, my love. “Ma’am, your bill.” The young waiter’s voice brought me back in the present. I looked up at him who was smiling warmly at me. he knew me as I was their regular customer and I left change for him to keep. “Please keep the change.” I handed him a hundred dollar note and he looked at the money and then at me in surprise.
[ Charlotte ]“Sebestian, what kind of a joke it is?” I asked him. The truth was in front of my eyes but my naïve heart wasn’t ready to accept it.His emotionless face twitched, he seemed pissed off by my question.“He isn’t joking, Charlotte. We wanted to tell you sooner but we care about you and your feelings, that’s why we gave you some time.” The witch spoke in his behalf, her over-sweetness was sickening.“I am talking to my husband, Miss Baxter. I think he must reply me.” I gave her the peace of my mind. She had been a manipulative bi*ch since she entered in our lives, always trying to come near my husband. It was her doing. My Sebestian only loves me.“Seb, please tell me it’s lie. You’re being misled by someone. The truth isn’t what you think. I can explain.” I again pleaded him but he looked away.“I am not mistaken, Charlotte. Do you really think I am a fool to believe someone without a concrete proof? My own eyes saw you with that bastard in a hotel yesterday. You have to a
[ Charlotte ]I had no idea where my feet were leading me. I left him but I still had a silly hope, maybe he’d realise his mistake and chase me but my hopes died down with passing hours. I roamed aimlessly on the busy streets until the dusk appeared in the sky, enveloping everything in the early darkness. I had no place to call mine in this big city. I had no friends of mine except Liam but I couldn’t go to him or it’d only concrete Sebestian’s doubts on our friendship.My stomach grumbled. I hadn’t eaten anything since morning and this little life growing inside me needed nutrition. I shuffled my handbag and found only a little amount of money. My pride reborn in a very bad time. I refused to take anything from him when he generously offered me anything I desired for. I could had at least taken some money to survive for a few days.My phone vibrated in my handbag and my heart leaped thinking it could be Sebestian but when I saw the caller id, my face fell. It was Liam. I wanted to ta
