A thudding sound was made as I fell to the ground, quickly picking myself up and pressing both legs to stop the heat I felt. There was no one in the room—no Seth, no Michael. Just me.

I had a sensual dream and one with Seth.

I was going insane at this as I ran to the bathroom to throw cold water on my body, hoping I would wash off those wild thoughts from my mind, but it only made things worse.

As I bathed again, I remembered the dream again and began touching myself, thinking of Seth’s face: “You know you want me." Seth’s voice came around me again, and I couldn’t resist biting my lips as I relaxed my back on the wall and began fingering myself, imagining he was the one doing this to me.

I continued until I orgasmed, breathing hard as I suddenly had a wave of disgust flush over me.

I washed my body as I got out of the shower, wore my robe, and went to the terrace.

    I was completely freaking out, having no exact clue how I would be able to manage this at all.Pretend like nothing happened; pretend like nothing happened...He didn't see anything; nothing was seen...You have this Scarlett; all you have to do is summon courage and face him, pretend as if nothing happened, and make him feel guilty for entering your room without permission.Or I thought it would be."Scarlett, I thought you wanted to get Brianna a glass of water?" Vanessa asked as I came down the stairs with a different outfit from what I wore earlier. She noticed and proceeded to ask, "Did something happen? Why did you need an outfit change?"It was as if I had a box of lies stored in my head for urgent need as I replied immediately, "I spilled water on my shirt when I was bringing Brianna's water; I will get it now," I said."That won't be necessary; I already

    Night had fallen by the time I woke up. I turned to the side to find Michael resting. I didn’t even notice he had returned from work, and he also didn’t try to wake me up at all; he probably didn’t want to disturb me.“Michael,” I checked from my end if he was fully asleep, and he answered weakly, “Hmm.”Michael sat up as he held my hand. “You finally woke up; I thought you were going to sleep through the next day.""Noooo, I only wanted to rest for a few minutes; I even missed my spa appointment. Are you just returning?” I asked about cleaning my eyes to get rid of my sleepy eyes.“An hour ago, yes,” Michael answered. “I cleared out my desk today at the office."“You did what?!” I sat up, drawing closer to him. I felt a sudden surge of rage overcome me as my forehead furrowed. “What do you mean you cleared out you

    I hastily went down the stairs, as Vanessa had come to tell me in the room that Michael had been requesting it for me and that it was urgent. The frown on my face when I realized I had been tricked.“Come here." Michael held my arm and pulled me closer into the circle of conversation going on between him, Seth, Bella, and somewhat Carmela; she was standing around there as well.I froze as I was reminded of that day Seth had seen me like it was yesterday—it was yesterday.“Mrs. That—” I thought I heard Seth almost say before Bella happily jumped in and greeted instead.“Good morning,” I answered, still trying to keep my composure while trying to avoid Seth’s gaze, which I must say was pretty, very hard.Michael went straight to the point, which caught me off-guard, as he said, “My wife and I were thinking of inviting the two of you to our island this

    Doctor Benedict took a quick checkup on him and was able to tell us that Leo was completely fine and just needed some rest. He will, of course, stay till he has woken up, but in the mean time, he was absolutely fine.“It is my fault,” I declared as I began crying.“It is not your fault, dear; we were all pushing him too hard." Michael calmed down, but it didn’t help because I cried even more, leaving myself to sit on the couch.I could only of course blame myself; I was the one who called his hobby thrash and should focus more on studying than drawing random characters on his notepad. It is my fault he is this way, and I can only continue to feel bad until he is alright.I am such a bad mother.How can I be angry at my mother for treating me badly when I am just as the same? Leo must have been suffering, and I didn’t just see it; he shouldn’t have to push himself extr

    While I stood admiring this young man, his sudden look up to glance at me had made me flinch as I managed to maintain composure. Seth smiled before lowering back to focus on lighting the cigarette."Where you checking me out?” Seth asked as he took a step back; his smile widened even more as he relaxed on the wall.“Why would you think that?” I questioned him as I stood next to him, blowing out the first smoke. "So, when did you start smoking?” I asked about changing the topic.Seth shrugged as if he didn’t want to answer at first. My blank reaction was enough to make him give in. “Two years ago, I tried it three years ago but didn’t like it at first until a year later. Unlike how you would picture me, I only smoke when I am pressured about something."“So you are pressured over something now? Like what?" I asked, showing a bit of concern as I faced him.“Not anymore, now that I have seen you are all right,” Seth answered. His answer didn’t sit right with me because why do I have to be

    The island looked so beautiful, the view alone from our villa is breathtaking, and the services offered by the wonderful people here when they received us were just as impressive as I imagined.It felt really nice to just be far away from all of reality and just be here alone with my family for bonding time. Oh, for how long I have always wanted to do this without each trip getting cancelled because of one or so different reasons that may pop up.“I see you can’t stop smiling. It is exactly what you wanted; I did well, didn’t I?” Michael stood in both of our rooms and said,.“It is just as I want; I can wait to put my feet on the warm sand,” I answered, smiling. I don’t know what these two weeks will bring, but I was just as ready and prepared for it.“There will be a dinner later tonight; we can start our experience from there. You think maybe you can wear the red dress I bought?”“Of course, I think I packed that in one of my suitcases. Do Seth and Bella know about dinner? I think t

    It was as if the night was just perfect for Michael and me. The way he held my hand into the small dining room held in one of the shacks meant the dinner was supposed to have a natural feel to it, hence the location. Even the food displayed was quite exotic, and it made my mouth water immediately.I am a food lover, but I can also be very picky with my food at the same time.The sound of the sea whooshing all together, the calming breeze that swoops us together, coupled with a magnificent view—what more could I ask for? It was perfect.Everyone was seated, from Carmela to Leo to Bella and Seth—I should say that they all made an effort to look good today, so I am glad I wasn’t the only one who went overboard.I tried not to look in Seth’s direction, as I was now in my ignoring phase as well. Of course, this ignoring phase wasn’t because I thought he somehow felt something for me. I fee

    The minute I stepped foot into that place Michael called home for me and my children, it was the moment I lost all contact with Seth and the world. I never go anywhere without security following me around, monitoring my every movement and the things that I do, and making sure that they work according to my given schedule.Michael has gone insane.“Michael I am tired of all these.” I threw off my shoes and flung them out the window, and wherever they landed, I absolutely had no care for them. “I am tired!”“Then leave!” Michael screamed at my face as he slammed our room door, locking it shut. “I know you want his touch; you are doing all of these because you miss him, don’t you?”“For six months I haven’t seen him; I have adhered to every one of your demands and kept away from him; all I want is for you to sign the divorce papers and free me,” I say, moving away from him."Clearly, you don’t know that I won’t know such things, so act right and come down right now!” Michael yelled, and

    “Carmela, hurry up; you are going to be late for school,” I screamed from the kitchen where I was packing up her lunch. When I didn’t hear anything from her, I went to knock on her door. The door pushed open as I held it. “Carmela.”“Mum, come take a look,” Carmela pointed at the two vehicles with security detail waiting in front of Seth’s apartment.“Ignore them,” I said to her before closing off the curtain. “Seth said he will drop you off at school before we head to the hospital to pick up your brother. Leo is finally returning home.”“Yay,” Carmela feigned excitement. “I am sure he is going to gain all of your attention now.” My forehead creased as I looked directly at her. I saw a small smile on her face. “I am kidding, mom. It is so easy to get to you. Make sure you give him all of the love for me.”“I think you should skip school today and come see him.”“And ruin my perfect record? No, I told you I would do better in school than Leo ever was,” Carmela said as she picked up her

    “Why didn’t you tell me that Leo was alive? What was the need for keeping it away from me and from us?” Michael asked. Carmela had stared with the bitterness she had felt looking at her father this morning.“I did it so Brianna would confess,” I answered.“For fuck sake, Scarlett, if she had gotten arrested, she would have confessed either way; she killed our son, I mean almost,” Michael said as he moved back and forth.“And that is almost the reason he is alive today, Michael. I know Brianna was in her head yesterday, but she is not a bad person and still is my friend,” I acknowledged. “Everything she has done was to provide for her family; there is nothing wrong with that.”“By blackmailing you? Honey, have you gone mad? How can you call someone who has done all these things a friend? I pray she rots in jail for the sins she has caused you.” Michael pulled me and hugged me. I sniffed his shirt, and there was an unfamiliar scent—feminine, I would say.I already knew he had sex when h

    A few talks with the officer were all I needed to get a name that I already knew. I couldn’t believe that the person I trusted so much about would have done this to me. I don’t deserve this. I may be a bad person, but I don’t deserve this at all.We drove over to my son’s murderer’s house as I begged for the police to let me speak to her personally; she is my friend after all.“She won’t harm me; Brianna already told me she would be waiting to speak to me,” I said, trying to convince the officer to wait.I knocked on the door of Brianna’s home, and it opened slightly, given that she hadn’t locked the door as she said she wouldn’t.“You came,” Brianna sat in the darkness of her home. I saw different weapons like a gun, a knife, and a couple of pills on the table. She said, “Don’t worry, they aren’t for you.”“I know,” I said. “You won’t harm me, Brianna.”“I hate you.” She said so simply as she whimpered silently, “You are so lucky; you have a good life, family, money , everything.

    A heavy downpour of rain washed over Leo’s grave, and while everyone sought shelter from it, I stood there wondering how lonely it would be over there—no one to talk to, no food to eat—at least you wouldn’t have to study any more.My lips thinned as I exhaled deeply.There is no mother to tell you what you can and cannnot, how to live your life, or who you should be with.I kneeled down as I allowed the dirt to stain all over me, losing my mind at the thought that Leo was actually gone, like I would never get to see him again."Leo, I am sorry.” I cried out as all my pain weakened me. A snort came out of my nose as I continued to cry. It will take the intervention of everyone to leave my son’s at this point.I didn’t give him what he wanted and always found a way to make his life about Michael. I used him as a pawn to achieve Michael’s success, and I only started to feel sorry for it when he outgrew me.I never got to amend my relationship with my son; I never got to do that, and now

    Seth was shocked as to where I had gotten such courage from. I mean, I was drunk in his scent and clearly wasn’t thinking properly, but his saying I should go ahead was where I understood he wanted it too."Seth, look at where we are. Do you think God will want to see that from two fornicators?” I asked, and Seth burst out laughing.“Fornicators? So that is who we are now. I have never felt sin be this good before. You think maybe he will forgive us so easily?” Seth asked as he looked around the chapel.“No, God doesn’t work that way, dear; you have to be remorseful and actually pay the price for the sin before he forgives, I think, but though he is merciful, his forgiveness doesn’t come cheap,” I said, smiling. “I also don’t think we should be this close.” I tried to push him further away while pulling him back at the same time.“Since we are fornicators?" Seth laughed, and the room fell into silence as he gazed at me ever so lovingly. “I know this is wrong, but I miss you,” he said

    I visited the hospital frequently as if it were my home; I had to because Leo was yet to wake up and none of us knew exactly how he wound up at shore for that good man who was fishing to find him.Weeks after weeks, and though the doctors said he was responding to treatment and would probably wake up, there was still no sign of that happening, and now I am starting to become worried.For the first week, Leo’s health had been unstable. We received a lot of visitors at the hospital, but as the days pushed into weeks and then a whole month, everyone who we thought cared had soon forgotten and gone back to their own business.I hardly saw any of my friends around either; they were mostly focused on Laura for now, except for Melissa, and that is solely because she is Leo’s godmother; of course she has to be here along with her son.Even Rocky, whom I thought would be here every day, was also occupied, and I understand he has school and his mother to worry about, so maybe he can be excused

    Silence, a void only one could hear and feel for themselves.“Scarlett, Sarlett, Scarlett.” They all called my name from different areas, but their voices never got to me.Could this be true? Could it be?My son is gone, and I am supposed to feel okay about it.I failed as a mother; I failed as his friend; and I failed as his world.When Leo needed me the most, I was never there for him. I don’t deserve happiness at all.My eyes closed as I allowed darkness to seep into me.*** **** ********* ********** ******* ****** ******* ****** ******* My eyes finally opened to see all of my loved ones gathered around my bed, with the beeping sound disturbing my hearing. I looked around, not saying anything. Where would I find the words?“Mum has woken up,” Carmela’s voice said out loud as everyone who was around the doctor soon came to me.“Darling,” Michael touched my face as he kissed my forehead. At first, I wondered why he was getting so affectionate until I saw who came as well.

    ~SCARLETT POV~Ambulance sirens blared as lots of body bags were being brought out and taken into the morgue one after the other, my hands shivering. I had already cried in the car. I can't help it now that I have seen Carmela in tears. She would need me to be strong for her, and I can’t help being weak in front of her.“Mum, why do horrible things always happen to us?” Carmela asked as she embraced me, her tears trickling down from her eyes to my shoulder as I stroked her back. “All will be fine, dear; we just have to identify the bodies; we have to hope your brother isn’t a part of it.”I was breaking down so badly; I was so occupied with myself that I never paid attention. God, I only ask for one thing, and that is for my son not to be a part of the dead bodies that drowned at sea.It was hard to pray because it was confirmed that Leo and Rocky were indeed on the guest list for the cruise and that they did attend.“Mrs. Thatcher,” The officer called as I turned, my heart beating ex
