Mr. Adam Winters It's almost six o'clock in the morning and I haven't slept at all, if I've had two hours of sleep that's a lot. Every time I could get a wink of sleep I dreamed of Lillian. With her leaving, with her leaving me. With her with a huge belly carrying quadruplets. That last dream was what scared me the most. I ended up not containing myself and asked Romeo for her contact, I ended up trying to contact her. A good part of me knew she wouldn't get back to me, I called several times, sent messages and nothing. Even when I explained the misunderstanding of the letter, maybe she didn't even believe me. At six o'clock, I collect my tired body from the bed and take a quick shower. A day at work can distract me from the sudden mess that has become my life. I eat my breakfast " if you can call an apple breakfast " and it's when I'm leaving the house that I have an idea. I still remember the address of the clinic where Lillian's dad was admitted, if he's still there, the clinic
It's a pretty exhausting morning. The day had barely started and I was already full. I wonder how I let my life get to this point.It was frustrating to discover that going to the clinic had not borne any fruit since it was my only lead to follow. I even considered sneaking in there in the middle of the night, but the last thing I need right now is to get arrested for trespassing.Geneva so far hasn't brought me any ideas either, I imagine the trip to the clinic has moved her even more than it did me.The hours went by and for the rest of the day I spent stuck in my office signing and reviewing some papers, I left just for a few minutes for my lunch and came back as soon as I could.At least today, the new secretary wasn't a problem.At the end of the day, I offered a ride to Geneva who preferred to go home alone, I understood and respected her space, it had been a busy day for both of us and I recognized that.My bath was long, they say a hot bath can help you relax but I imagine my
MS. Lillian PorterYesterday was quite a day I could barely sleep at night. Well, that's why and because my belly seems to be growing by the second."Let's go for another day. " I smooth my belly and sigh getting up from the bed.It's eight in the morning when I finish my shower, I get dressed and head downstairs to the kitchen. The house I rented is not very big, but it is what my salary as a supermarket cashier can afford. I know, I have an impressive resume and I might as well keep working as an executive secretary, but a pregnant woman can't get a job that easily, and I needed some income ASAP.Knowing that Adam has been looking for me makes me angry, he must have regretted having betrayed me and now he thinks I'm going to take him back, easy as that. He must think I'm some kind of idiot. If one day I decide to go back to him, don't leave the house because it's going to rain like a knife.It seems he's been looking for me with Geneva "I'll keep calling her that because I can't, an
It's been like ten minutes since I just confessed to my baby's father that we're having twins and he hasn't said a word, he's scared.I imagined him having this discovery in many ways and having different types of reactions, staying silent was not one of them."So... are you going to say something? "I ask.A little more silence. I can't even look at it, it's so weird. Then I hear a sob and I finally manage to face him."You are crying? " I frown and he wipes the tears with the back of his hand."No. "He answers and takes a deep breath."So what's coming out of your eyes aren't tears? "I ask ironically."Okay, it's tears. "He laughs. "Can I play? "He points to my belly."Not before drying that face. "I say making a face. "I was disgusted by tears that are not mine during pregnancy. "I explain and hand over the box of tissues that I leave on the table next to the sofa. I always need it when I watch most movies, pregnancy has made me sensitive."All good. "He takes the box and uses two t
"I don't have to talk about Geneva with you. " I say firm.He sighs heavily and returns to sit beside me, closer this time."I know you are hurt, I would also be with everything she told me. " He takes a break. "But I also know that one day you wanted to find her. Do you remember when I asked about your mother and you said that when you were younger you wanted to meet her? "He asks.I don't answer, I just listen."You are having the opportunity to meet her, in fact you already know her and she is your best friend. "He says, his voice calm."She's already gone. How could I trust someone who lied from the moment she met me? "I ask finally letting my guard down."That was a mistake, but it's understandable. She was just afraid you would pull away before you had a chance to meet her.I sigh. I miss Geneva, I miss having a best friend. These last few months I just haven't felt completely alone because of the twins, but it's not like I can replace her." I'm still hurt."I imagine and giv
Mr. Adam Winters It's about three hours after Lillian left until her return, I was really relieved when she walked through that door, but she didn't seem pleased to still find us there. She watches us for a few seconds before sitting down on the couch and taking a deep breath. "We thought you'd be back later, I haven't finished lunch yet. I hope you don't mind, I messed with your kitchen. "Geneva says cautiously. "And I in the rest of the house, I touched everything. "Admit. But she didn't seem to care, in fact it looked like something else was worrying her. "Did something happen? "I ask. "I was fired. "She says without ceremony. There's a momentary silence, Geneva and I look at each other, she from the kitchen and Lillian and I from the living room, there isn't a door to separate the rooms, there are actually only three doors in the house. The entrance, the bedroom and the bathroom. "We're very sorry about that. "Geneva says. "I do not feel. " I'm sincere. "Adam! "Geneva sc
"Everything is fine? "Adam asked when he found her in the dimly lit kitchen in the middle of the night.Lillian would have been startled by her former boyfriend's silent arrival, but the masculine scent that filled the small room gave him away before he even uttered the words."I am well thank you. "She said but it was as if she had said the opposite. He walked over as she set the already empty glass in the sink."Is it something with the babies, do you feel any pain? "He looks worried."I said I'm fine, thanks. "She repeats, this time her voice sounds more impatient."No need to be defensive, I just wanted to help. "He said."You can't help me now. "She said but thought about it for a few seconds. She imagined Adam taking her right there. She but she soon came to her senses again and realized she was crazy."Why not? "He is confused and then analyzes her for a few seconds.Even with low light, the moon outside brought a little light through the windows free of curtains and allowed Ad
"I didn't think this conversation was going to happen now, but okay, let's go. "She says more to herself than to him.Adam carefully watches Lillian come back and sit on the couch while he remains on the floor."I'm telling the truth, I would never betray you, I love you... or loved you, I don't know. " He starts the conversation a little nervous."So what I saw was in my head? Are you implying that I'm crazy? "She asks offended."No! " He immediately denies it. "I know what you saw seemed the opposite, but it wasn't a consenting kiss. I'll explain better from the beginning. " He pauses and takes a deep breath. "Paola was going through problems with an old relationship, she came from Italy trying to escape from him because he pursued her and somehow she only felt safe with me, because I was the only one who knew about this problem."I feel sorry for her, but what does that have to do with everything else? "Lillian asks wanting him to get straight to the point."The transfer I made of
