“You should have listened to him, Valerie. You should have planted a bountiful garden—no, a bountiful forest of hatred for him!”

I looked at the wall outside the window. The plant there lost its color, dried, and is soon to fall down. It was a totally dead plant, seeking a drop of water coming from above.

I was really jealous of that little plant on the wall because I thought it was free from anything that chained it. But I was wrong to think that freedom is something that centered on a person or a thing that was living outside of jail, walking on the street, and passing by with many people.

The little plant was outside, but it was not free from the end of its life. I know that it could be more beautiful and green if it was only planted on healthy soil.

I sighed, returning to one seated sofa, crossing my legs, and taking the book from the table was the only choice that I had.

My husband put books here, but he didn't put anything useful. I've read this story of the little mermaid n

    She held my hand, looking at me like she was suspecting me as possessed by a woman who admired my husband for a long time. “Is this for real? Are you true to your words? You might have misunderstood your feelings, ma'am.”“It's true that I miss him. It is really him who I want to see. And that is what I want to happen, Amia.”“Is it not your parents you missed?” I sighed harshly, annoyed by the repeating questions from Amia.“Amia, when I say El is what I want to see, El is what I want to see! Don't give me other options because that won't help ease how much I miss my husband!”“I-Ironic…”"Yes, Amia. I know it is the most ironic thing right now, so tell me if you will help me or you can't do something about it. I also don't want to hope for nothing,” I said, sulking at Amia because of her eyes that were staring at me as if she didn't believe the words I told her.Amia's shoulders rose when she took a deep breath; they also fell immediately when she released the air she briefly held

    Without a fuss, I accepted his warning wholeheartedly. It might be dangerous to love my husband, but hating him will put my child’s sake at risk. My child was reacting inside my womb whenever I tried to speak ill to his father. He shot me an emotionless gaze.“Are you satisfied now that you've seen me? Can I leave now?”I smiled at him. His body moved to face the door, which makes me a little bit melancholic. Yet, I remembered about his words—that I should not love him. Also, my own words popped in my head, making me hear my own voice telling me that all I asked from him was letting me love him and no reciprocation at all. “El,” I called him, rushing to catch the hem of his sleeve. “Woman, you are depressing, annoying, and bullshit. Can you please let me go now? I have a sudden headache because of you.”“El, visit me here...often.”He bowed at me, having a smile on his face. “Is my absence a total destruction of your sanity, my wife?”“Yes, El. I think I'm getting crazy whenever

    My eyes were focused on him, trying to absorb what he said. What does he mean? That he won't hurt our child? Why? I mean, I thought he hated me and wouldn't give me time to rest from the sufferings I will experience from him? But why was he so angry about me hiding our child from him? “El, why are you so mad at me? You won't hurt me if you find out I'm pregnant?” “Yes, woman! That's why I'm burning with my anger towards you now. You let me lay hands on you even though you know you're carrying the heir to all the wealth I have! You are crazy!” I stood up and tearfully approached him to thank him for his kindness. “El, I was really scared; that's why I hid from you that I was pregnant. I thought you would hurt me and make us suffer—me and our child." He looked at me, his eyes were blank and unreadable. “No father wants his child to suffer and get hurt, except your father, who prioritizes money over you, Valerie.” I bowed, ashamed of what he said. I evaluated my father,

    “Are you sure that it won't harm my child, woman? If it will, I will never regret ending your life.” I leaned my head on his shoulder. “El, the baby wants it. I think we were rightly guessing his gender. He probably likes businesses like you do. Apparently, he's a boy...” He sighed, forcing himself to endure me. He doesn't like me clinging to him, yet he could do nothing but let me do everything I want because I'm telling him that it was our child's. He was a thoughtful father, withstanding my presence for his child.We were at the backseat, sitting down together and close to each other like a real sweet couple. Martin was driving for us. Sometimes I caught his eyes in the mirror, looking at us with a smile on his face. But as long as I can avoid him, I will do that. I don't want El to feel jealous of him again, it might be a reason for El's anger and will result in hurting me again. Martin was really kind. I don't want him to get involved in whatever issues I have with my husba

    The furniture industry focused all the companies and activities involved in the design, manufacture, distribution, and sale of functional and decorative objects of household equipment. That's what the internet said about it.And El was freaking smart, using his furniture company to cover what he was hiding behind it. He was really a business tycoon.While walking around, I was busy enjoying every beautiful and eye-catching design of household equipment. I was totally amused and surprised. I remembered the bed I used to have in my parents' home, it was exactly the same as the one that was displayed near the stairs off to the second floor.The bed I saw pulled me towards it, standing to better see the beauty of the work. Every detail of the bed was carved beautifully. The one who did this must be light-handed, as no exaggeration is seen in the design.Mommy bought the same bed as this one on my sixteenth birthday. She told me that my bed should always be beautiful, it should be like th

    The surroundings were deeply silent. The sound of a falling phone that slipped from his hand was heard after a few seconds, yet no one among us wanted to let our lips depart. My fingers crawled into his chest, feeling his heartbeat in the most unusual manner. My feet rose, tiptoeing to make him comfortable with the kiss we shared in the middle of the malfunctioning elevator. His fingers slid into my hair at the back of my head, assisting my head in following the rhythms of his gentle kiss. How could this be? Every time that he was letting his tongue slide into my mouth, I was like a flower that was wanting to bloom and let the butterfly suck the nectar from my wholeness. The entire elevator was dark because the flashlight of his phone was covered, but the more I close my eyes, the brighter I see. He was successfully taking out the fear I had. I was wondering why my tears fell down when our kisses became deep and passionate. It might be because he told me to never take it seriou

    I didn't talk to him, even looking at him seemed like a difficult thing to do. Since I was a child, this is how I feel. I get annoyed and sad when what I want doesn't happen. But I have to obey him because he might not be able to hold back if I convince him more. He was the first to get out of the taxi when we arrived. I followed, I didn't wait for him, I immediately entered the compound. “Ma'am, what's wrong?!”I just passed Amia. I went straight upstairs. I slammed the door and locked it. Even the way I sit on the bed was forced. Later, I heard the sound of someone trying to open the door. I knew it was him.“Hey! Woman, open the door!”He knocked, but I lay down instead of opening the door for him, acting like deaf.“Valerie, open the door! Take a shower, and we'll go to your OBGYN's clinic!”I took the pillow and covered it over my ears, ignoring him, screaming and pounding his fist on the door. I gently removed the pillow when I no longer heard his voice and his knocking. “B

    I thought I could resist my desire to receive love from my husband, but I suddenly realized that I want more than my feelings.I don't only want to give him all my love, spending to give him my attention, making him see the love that I have for him. I want to be loved back. People say when you love, all you want to do is give your all without asking for something in return. But at this present time, experiencing that one-sided love I heard from people, I thought the opposite. I wanted to receive love in return. I was thirsty for his love, for his attention, and for his care. All of them are what I want to own. The water from the shower landed on my bare skin, trying to make me feel the cold it brings. Yet my heart was colder than its temperature. The absence of my husband's love was the reason why. I looked up, studying myself. Why I fell in love with my devil husband when I saw his bad character. And I was wondering what else of himself he was hiding from me. I was in the bathro

    My parents gave me a tight hug when I told them I was about to enter the airport. “Make sure to call us every time.”“Yes, Daddy. I will make sure of that. ”I looked at mommy. I saw how tears flowed from her eyes. I can't stop myself from feeling homesick even when my parents are in front of me. I was holding mommy's hands, but it was as if I was back when I was a kid that I had to leave daddy and her for my studies abroad. “Mommy, take care of yourself. Take care of Daddy too. I love you two so much. ”“We love you too, Val. There’s no container that would be enough for the love we have for you. Send my regards to my grandson, as well as to Eli. ”“Sure, mommy.”Once again my parents locked me in the middle of their arms, hugging me tightly so I took a deep breath. Someday I will never leave my parents and say farewells to them because I have to go to a place far from them.

    I have not been able to enter our mansion for several years since Eldifonso Suarez bought me to be his wife. Now, I am here, sitting on top of my bed and remembering the good moments I have here inside this room. Back when I was a child, my eyes were opened, and I saw life as beautiful. And now I have to let go of the painful past I had, and I will continue creating good and beautiful memories with my family. There was a knock outside the door so I stood up and took a deep breath. I also removed my tears and I cleared my throat. “Val, it's me. Your mom.”“Mommy, come in.”Mommy came in smiling. She looked at me, and we sat on the bed together. My heart was smiling looking at mommy. I understand why they married me to El. They thought El was the real Suarez and not just a fake. “Val, I'm here to tell you about Eldifonso.”“It's been a long time since we lost him. I have moved on, and Foval as well no longer worries about the pain of losing his daddy.”“That's good. I'm happy to hear

    A year passed, and we were living the best of our lives here. I didn't think about my past anymore, and it was totally making my heart light when I freed myself from the grudges and bad past that I had with my husband, who happened to be dead a year ago.I was alone on the balcony; Foval was already asleep, and Eli was still taking a bath. The night was quiet, and I suddenly remembered that today was mommy and daddy's wedding anniversary day. I smiled despite the sadness I felt. Almost half an hour passed before Eli followed me to the balcony. He hugged me from behind and kissed my cheek, so I could smell his fresh scent. He is like a newly blooming garden. “Why is my Amore sad? Is she bringing a serious problem?”I leaned my body against him. We swayed a few times before I turned around and faced him. I hugged Eli and leaned my right cheek on his chest. “Why, Amore?”“A year has passed since we lived here. I realized a lot, Eli. And that's one of the reasons I can't move forward if

    It was late at night; I couldn't sleep, so I decided to go to the beach. I hugged my arms and looked into the distance. I see Eldifonso's face in the dark sky while I hear his soft voice out of relief in the sound of the waves. A small hand grabbed me, so I looked down. “Foval? Why?”“Mommy, Uncle Eli told me not to be sad because even though daddy is gone, he is still looking at me from heaven. So don't be too sad, mommy.”I sighed, nodding at him even though I'm not sure if my son's father really went to heaven after he died. I bent down and gently caressed his cheek. He smiled. He withdrew his little hand from holding me. He fixed my hair that had been messed up by the wind that had been messing it up for a while. “Son, I'm sorry because mommy took you away from your daddy. I thought he was a harm to our relationship. I got angry with your daddy then, so I did this. But I realized that he was right when he said that I should think about you and I should think about what is the be

    “Uncle Eli, let's go there!”My son was comfortable with Eli. They are now happily playing in the sand, making sandcastles. The castle built by Eli is taller, but Foval insists that his castle is more beautiful. “Why, master? Are you going to claim that your castle is more beautiful than mine?”“Yeah. Because it's obvious.”“Oh, really?!”“Yes, uncle.”“Alright, master. Yours is beautiful.”Foval ran towards Eli's castle and suddenly kicked him. My son was laughing while Eli was acting desperate as his castle was totally destroyed.“You destroyed my kingdom. Now I will avenge my people and my castle!”Eli raised his hands, trying to catch Foval. Foval runs away, but Eli catches him. My smile was wide as I watched them from meters away, wishing that Foval's attachment to Eli would deepen. My son no longer asks where his daddy is or when they will see each other. But rather he wants to stay here for a long time. He didn't want to go back to Texas either, so I was happy. It seems that hi

    I heard the sound of an opening door, so I immediately wiped my fingers on my eyes to remove the tears that fell from them. “Amore?” Eli called me softly. I looked at him, and I saw him wearing an apron. There are still flowers on his cheeks and arms. I feel sorry for him. He was proving himself to me and my son, but my son still could not accept him. Eldifonso was not like this to me before. Everything that Eldifonso showed me only gave me pain in my heart, unlike Eli, who, with everything he showed me, enveloped me in love and security. I went up and sat down. He bent down to kiss me so my lips caught his lips dropping to mine’s way. I closed my eyes, kissing him back with tears in my eyes. He gently tapped my back, and slowly I could feel him pulling me up. I came along with the motion he was leading while our kisses were still tying us. His thumbs were caressing under my eyes, removing all my tears. “Stop crying. It hurts me when I see you cry.”“I don't know how I can not cry

    I went out; the sound of how I slammed the door followed me. My glances only caught Foval's back entering his room. I took one more step when Eli grabbed my wrist. He was by the door waiting for my son and I to finish talking. “Eli?”“Amore, let the child have his time alone to think.”“But he's not respecting you. Even though I'm his mother, he can yell at me as if I'm just at his age. Foval should not continue to act like that. Parents' habits are inherited. And sad to say, he surely got that attitude from Eldifonso!” I said. Every morning and every moment I spend with Eli gets better, yet the color of my relationship with my son becomes bitter and fading. I did my best to make him feel that I am enough for him, but he couldn't see that. He was always looking for his goddamn father. He made me feel that he wanted to be with Eldifonso more than me, his mother. “Don't stress yourself about your child, Amore. Let's not force Foval to absorb what he is witnessing inside the house bec

    My system is gradually accepting the past that I experienced with Eldifonso. I am now in the process of healing the wounds of the past while fully fixing myself and loving Eli continuously, who is my partner in all my steps to forget the pain I had before him. I woke up smiling, definitely; he hugged me all night, made me feel his love for me that my complicated past and the wind that hovers around me can't steal. I turned to him and saw that he was sleeping peacefully. I brought my face closer to him and touched his cheek with a smile. I folded my four fingers, and only my point finger was unfolded. I stuck my pointer finger to the tip of his nose. His eyes were truly beautiful; his lips were very attractive, seducing me to touch them through my finger. I can't handle not giggling when his lips moved. He pulled me close to him until there was no space left between us. He hugged me tightly as if he was assuring me that his love for me would never fade away. “Is it morning already?”

    I was nervous, yet my desire of being fucked and owned this very morning by Eli was too strong to resist. I held on to the head of the bed and looked at the white wall. His left hand was on my back, while his right hand was holding his dick, centering it on my wet hole. “Oh! Holy crap, E-Eli! Y-Your size doesn't fit in m-me,” I said with tears in my eyes. I cringed when he tried to insert the head of his dick. I was hurt, given that my vagina was back to being tight since I hadn't had sex in several years. My tears flowed because of the pain I felt. My right hand pushed Eli to distance him from me. It hurts! I dropped myself, sweating because of the pain that reigned all over me. “Don't be sudden, Eli. You know I haven't had sex in a long time, right?!”He made me face him; visible in his eyes was the surprise at what I said. I swallowed, sighing after I lifted my ass again. “What you said is true, Valerie. Even though you've been working as a prostitute in a nightclub for several
