Geneva didn't wait for me to explain anything, when she saw me at her door at three in the morning with a suitcase and tears on her face she just let me in. "What did he do? "She asks. "To have left you in that state, it could only have been him. "She closes the door and watches me drop the bag on the way and sit on her couch in the living room. "He abandoned me once again, but this time, I went after him. "I'm surprised when I hear my voice come out, I feel like I don't have the strength for anything else. "And what did you find? "She sits next to me. "I went to her apartment, the two were kissing. "I see everything blur again and I feel warm tears roll down my cheeks. " I'm really sorry this happened. "She straightens my hair. "I have a huge urge to kill him right now. "She puts one of the pillows on her lap and pulls me, I rest my head there feeling her caresses. "I should have listened to you, you knew he was no good. " I dry my tears a little irritated. " I was very stupid t
A few more days had passed, it was already half a month after the discovery of the betrayal. I still hadn't seen Adam, he had stopped texting and calling me but I still hadn't made up my mind about telling him about the pregnancy. I had decided on one thing, I had decided to have the baby, I'm a month pregnant according to tests, it's still early, I still had no symptoms, I had only had morning sickness once.The company continued to be run by Francesco who was already aware of my separation from his son, he even tried to defend him, he said it would be good for us to talk but I honestly wasn't willing.He also gave me bad news... or great news depending on your point of view. Adam was in Italy taking care of some branch matters in person, he said that he would be back at the weekend, but that he would soon return to his family's country.I should have been happy, I figured I would be, but it was devastating to know he was going to be gone longer, maybe years. And suddenly everything
Geneva FieldsAdam will finally return to the company today, his stay in Italy has unfortunately come to an end. Today I finally meet him, not in the best of weeks, or months, I lost track of time a little when I lost sight of Lillian. I spent so many years looking for her, a few more months until I was able to join the company and get closer, become her friend, so this time, she would be the person to leave without a trace.I miss you so much, daughter.I don't blame her, I should have opened up earlier, when I had the opportunity, maybe she would have stayed...When someone steps out of the company elevator, I finally push my melancholy thoughts aside.Adam looks surprised to see me still there, maybe he thought I'd disappear off the map like Lillian did, I would have if she hadn't gone without me after I told her the details of the story."Good morning Mr. Winters. "I salute you." Good morning, Miss. Fields. " He nods his head. "Bring my coffee to my room, please. "Is all he says
"You came back. " Bob watches. " And Sounds sad, actually they both do. Does this have to do with the absence of the other girl? I never saw her again and she was with you. "Bob says while he prepares my lunch.I don't want to talk about it so I don't say anything, Geneva seems to agree with my thought."She loved my snacks, if you did something and she hates you now, me and my snacks have nothing to do with it. "He says and stops the preparation to look at us."Don't look at me, he's the one who screwed up. "Geneva finally opens her mouth but she doesn't say anything nice. She was never my number one fan and it seems like she is even less now."I did nothing. " I defend myself."They don't seem to have done anything, the two seem quite guilty actually. "He accuses and turns his attention to my snack.Geneva doesn't retort, in fact she actually seems to feel guilty. Did she also do something?Bob finally delivers my lunch, I pay for it, which happily leaves the subject of Lillian for
Suddenly the room is completely silent, Geneva and I stare at each other and she looks alert, she's wary looking at me with that pair of bright green eyes, not so bright right now actually."Everything is fine? "I ask.She doesn't answer, instead she breaks down in an overly copious cry, looking sad and desperate. I didn't know what to say, I was afraid to approach and end up making things worse. So I got up, went to the kitchen "and I'm glad I found it the first time". I got a glass, filled it with water and brought it to her who was still crying.I slowly approached the sofa where she sat. I touched her shoulder and when I received her attention, I offered the glass which was gladly accepted.She took a few sips as she tried to calm down, she even sobbed a few times before recovering."I made a terrible mistake. "She says after long minutes of silence."We make mistakes, we are human beings. " I try to comfort her."What I did was terrible, I pushed away the most important person in
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?! "He screams as I pull him out of bed."IT WAS YOU, ISN'T IT? " I yelled angrily."If I'm going to be killed in my sleep, I'd rather know what it's about. "He says moving away from me."What's going on here? Why are they making so much noise? "My dad walks into the room, he's in his pajamas and he looks stunned. "You woke up your sister! "He gets angry."It was your son who came in here attacking me just like that. " Romeo hands me over."Have you spoken to Lillian? Did you tell her that you got rid of the letter she wrote me about the pregnancy? "I completely ignore everything that has been said so far." Is Lillian pregnant? "Elisa asks and only then do I realize that she is now in the room with my sister in her arms."Please tell us this straight, son. " My father asks."Before leaving months ago for who knows where, Lillian wrote me a letter letting me know she was pregnant, but I didn't even get to read it because that idiot got it before. "I'm faith
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
