After a couple of months being married to El, I never heard about my parents. They did wrong to me; they were not perfect, and honestly, I was not a perfect child to them either, but I miss having breakfast or dinner with them, going out with my mom, and playing golf with my dad. I was still locked in this big but suffocating room. Its color was still vibrant, while my life lost its color and joy. The little plant that was accidentally rooted on the wall outside of the window grew a little more. The last time I checked it out, it had only 3 leaves and a sensitive bud, yet now it has grown up into a fine green plant with 7 leaves, not including the little bud on its tip. I was quite jealous of that plant; it was growing while I was here, stuck and feeling worthless. I can't live a productive life while the plant contributes a little beauty to the gray wall. I was living in a mansion; the room was big, tidy, and beautiful, but it was sucking my energy and my happiness.As I stood up
"Why have you bothered to bring me here, El?”“Are you crazy? Of course, I don't want you to die inside my mansion,” he answered.I laughed sarcastically in a lower pitch. I looked at the door, sneaking to the little glass part of it. “That's far from what you really want, El.”“What's funny?”I suddenly felt how a little pain in my veins demanded my attention. There was a needle in it, which served as an instrument to make the liquid from the container above my head travel to every branch of my veins. “I thought I would never see the outside world again. Well, I think it's a good idea to starve myself so that I will collapse and you will bring me to the outside world, El.”“If it was me, I wouldn't bring you here, but the maids rattled off to know that you collapsed.”“They were all good to me and human-hearted, unlike someone standing here beside me,” I whispered, wishing he hadn't heard it. “I have no heart for you, Valerie. Do not expect me to give you a tiny pity.” His cold a
Silence ruled inside the car. I am looking out the window, folding the papers from the hospital, thinking about what the nurse said.I am pregnant. I am carrying the child of the man who brought me to hell.I have El’s child inside my womb. It makes me sick in the head, thinking what I will do about this creature that will probably grow inside of me. Tears were freely rolling on my face, helping me to release the anxiety I have. A whole part of me aches because I know he will never accept the child I am carrying now. I can't let this child, if the time comes, experience the rigor of El. I can't help but wish for my own flesh to be saved from being the subject of his uncharitable treatment. “It's beautiful outside, ma'am. I guess you should be enjoying this moment before going back to the mansion.”Martin was right. It's beautiful here; there are people walking on the street, friends laughing together, children whining about something they want to have but their parents never gave t
A noise from a furious car echoed inside my ears. I thought it would be my end. Because I wanted to escape, I was out of my mind and tried to cross the street, having no time to realize that there were plenty of vehicles, hurrying to get to their destination.My hands suddenly brought up to hold my tummy that is yet to grow. A hand gripped my shoulder, pulling me to the side street. “Ma'am, are you trying to kill yourself?!” Martin's voice reminded me about what's going on. “Where are you going, by the way?!” The driver that almost hit me went out, yelling at me. What I had gone through in El’s mansion gave so much trauma to me. The driver seemed to be angry because of what I did. I could hear my husband's thundering voice from the driver's shouts.“I'm sorry, s-sir. I-It is really an accident. I-I…”“You're stupid, little wench! If you want to die! Die alone and don't cause a burden to others!”“That's enough, sir. She's just new here. Please do not raise your voice at her.” Marti
“I'm glad to see you have appetite, ma'am,” Amia said, glaring at me as I ate the fruit and vegetable salad she brought up here. I do this for my child. I can't starve because it will affect him. My child might even be harmed if I don't follow the doctor's advice. “What else do you need, ma'am?”I finished eating and drinking milk. I leaned back and looked at her. Her eyes showed the happiness she felt. I thought Amia was not going to take good care of me after I yelled at her while I was taking my anger out on God. But she was still here; she took care of me even better. “I don't need anything more, Amia. The truth is that I want you to leave me here so that I can rest.”She took the things on the table and put them on the tray with a smile. “If that's what you want, ma'am.”Amia turned back on me. I remembered that I had never thanked her. I cleared my throat, and she turned to me. “Amia, thank you for the delicious food. I am very happy,” I said with a sincere smile on my lip
The next day he went to the room, making me think about what he was doing here. “Woman, some maids will come up here to assist you, making yourself presentable. We are going to an important occasion. I am going to attend a party later tonight; around 10 PM we should be there at the venue,” he said, not at all excited. However, I was happy; tears rolled down my face when he said that. Finally, I can go out again. I immediately stood up and approached him. I suddenly grabbed his chest; later on, my fingers traveled until they were together and locked on his back. With the joy I felt, I suddenly hugged El; I forgot even for a moment my anger towards him. He's letting me see the outside world again, and that is something to be grateful for as someone who hasn't been out to parties and occasions for a quite long time. “El, thank you very much for taking me out with you. You know that I haven't been to occasions like that in a long time, right?”He grabbed my shoulders and distanced me
“This way, sir,” the attendant immediately said when we arrived at the venue. My hand was holding El's arm. I don't know why my husband doesn't seem to want to let go of my hand that was holding on him even for a second. I just thought that his actions are just for the show; he pretends to be sweet to me even though the truth is that he is irritated and wants to separate me from him. “The Cupid and his Psyche are here!”Someone shouted happily; it led me to become more excited. “Mister Suarez, you had a great date tonight.”“She's damn gorgeous.”“And sexy!”“Everyone, that's why I haven't let her go to parties with me these past months because I am afraid that others will always see her. You know, any man who has a beautiful and sexy wife feels the same way.”Because of what he said, my face turned red. I'm disgusted with myself because even though I know that he will hurt me again when it's just the two of us, I become weak with his simple words, even though all of that is not tr
From earlier on our trip home to the mansion, he was quiet; it was so peaceful inside the car. He still didn't speak until we walked through the mansion's wide living room and climbed the glittering staircase. I only heard the sound of our steps, but no words were uttered by my jealous husband.“Come inside now, Valerie,” he said coldly. Finally, he said words. I walked inside the room and passed by him, facing the quiet bed.The sound of the door closing was soft. I was surprised because of his behavior. He was gentle in his actions, something that made me think that it was really refreshing.I thought he was going to yell at me again now or he was going to hurt me physically. But that was not what he did, because he just showed me his very cold treatment. I disdained to face him and stare into his eyes. Only half of his face was covered with a gray and luxurious mask. The tip of his pointed nose was sticking out, and I could see his pink lips. There was a storm raging inside of h
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. Soon, when everything is settled, Eli and I will return to Texas, and here we will raise Foval, near his gr
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
