I didn't bother changing from what I was wearing because it was comfortable to sleep in, it was just one of my big shirts I changed into from the clothes Rodrigo brought for me. I drew the blanket up my body because for some reason it was very cold tonight and I knew it had everything to do with the fact that this was a beach house. I didn't turn off the lights because I find it hard to see at night so I leave the lights on so I can find my way to the bathroom, shit could get bad at night with my bad eyes. I couldn't sleep, I just kept staring at the ceiling. There was no way in hell I was missing that man. I've said it before and I'm going to say it again. The only thing I'm worried about is because I didn't want to be accused of anything in case something happens to him. I was still trying to sleep when suddenly, the lights went off and I jumped, quickly sitting up in bed. What the hell was that? What type of stupid Halloween stunt is Antonio trying to play on me? This
Antonio was rushed to the hospital by helicopter. I've never been so confused about a situation like I was at that moment. One minute he was being a total asshole annoying the hell out of me and getting on my nerves and then the next minute he was scaring the shit out of me. You know I didn't take him seriously at first because I thought it was one of his crazy pranks not until I saw that he could barely stand. I forgot I didn't like him and was running around like crazy until help came. “ He's doing okay now, you don't have to look so worried," I heard Leo say as he handed me a cup of coffee.“ Who said I was worried? He claims to be a big man so I knew he would be fine," I said and he hummed," There's something I'd like to ask you,” I suddenly said as Leo turned to me with a raised brow." And what would that be?” He asked," What happened to his legs, I mean not now like in general, why he couldn't walk back then in school?” I asked," I don't think I should be the one to answer
FlashbackIt was Valentine's Day and the school was hosting a pool party for all the students. I didn't want to go to the party but somehow my Mom convinced me to go. She knew I couldn't swim but she told me that I should go, that I should interact with people and make new friends.She really didn't know about all the bullying going on in school because I never told her. I told her the only reason I'd go is if she didn't send any bodyguard to go with me. At first she didn't like the idea but since that was the only condition I gave her that would make me go, she accepted.Leo was there to help me if I needed anything, he was always there.The driver drove me to school as he helped me out of the car and Leo was already waiting for me as he waved at my driver before he started wheeling me to the pool where the other students of our class were. I was nervous, I knew they were going to tease me about coming for a pool party when I couldn't even swim.We reached the pool area and just as
“ But you didn't die Antonio, someone was kind enough to save you before I came. If you can also remember, that day, I found you wet on the floor, maybe she must have asked them to bring you out, I don't think her intention was to kill you," he said and I scoffed. “ Can you listen to yourself? Sometimes I wonder if you're my friend or you're trying to get on her good side, what are you saying? That it's fun to play with someone's life? Whether they helped me out or not she shouldn't have sent someone to push me into the pool in the first place, she had it in mind to kill me. So please whatever I'm doing don't judge me, if you keep this up I'll stop telling you things," I said and he raised his hands up in surrender. “ Fine," he said with a shake of his head. " I'm not going to kill her, so you don't have to worry about me going to prison, I only plan on making her suffer for all the things she has done, that's all, it's just pay back,” I said. ....“By the way, I'm going to kee
“But that doesn't give anything away,” my mom said, looking at Lilly in confusion." Come on, we want you all to anticipate. That's why I decided to give you a hint that I have a special gift for you, it's going to be a surprise, so I can't tell you now,” Lilly said and her Mom chuckled." That's my daughter for you, she sure knows how to keep one in suspense,” her mother said with a laugh. " Yeah, I sure do,” she said as she turned to look at me as if saying ‘ this wasn't over, it's just getting started,’" Then I'd wait,” my mom said with a smile." I'm sorry but we have to get going, we have things to take care of,” Anna's father said and her mother nodded." We hope you recover quickly," her mom said as she squeezed my hand.“ Thank you, thank you for coming to see me,” " It's okay, you're our son now, so it's our responsibility to take care of you,” her mother said and I nodded in appreciation before they hugged my parents.“ Take care," Lilly's mother whispered as she touched
“Can you come again?” I asked and she chuckled as she brought her hand to my chest but I stopped her again. " I know your mom and one thing I've noticed about her is that family means a lot to her, she would be ecstatic to know that I plan on giving her a grandchild, wouldn't that be…” I didn't let her finish. I wrapped my hands around her neck but she just smirked looking at me like she didn't mind my hand around her neck and that made me disgusted. " That will never happen, even if I eventually give my mom a grandchild it wouldn't be from a woman like you," I said and the stupid smirk on her face just broadened and I pulled my hand away.“ Okay husband," she said before she got up from the bed.“ You know, I really bought your act until I heard you talking. I was tired of seeing your fucking face too and standing your annoying attitude, so either ways it's a win for me." she said as she looked at me with a smile.She knew all along.“ Get well soon pretender, we've got a baby or s
' There's no fucking way you expect me to sleep here, this looks like a fucking store room…with cheap things, no way is this gonna work," I said as I looked at the room that looked like everything in it was picked from trash.The bedsheets looked like something out of a horror movie, the bed looked like something a teenager would sleep on, I'd be so uncomfortable on that damn bed.“ You don't have a choice, this is the only room for you,” he said as I turned to him with a glare.“ The only person this room is fit for is you and not me because you're a fucking piece of shit,” I said as I walked away from him to go look for other rooms because there was no way I'll stay in that disaster he calls a room. I walked to a door and tried opening it but it was locked. I turned to him in anger before moving to the next and then I tried opening and it was also locked. “ You're the sickest person I've ever seen, you can fucking cook your house and eat it,” I snared before walking away without s
Leo's words hung in the air, heavy and unshakable.“ She's back," he repeated, watching me carefully. I didn't need to ask who he meant; there was only one woman I know who neither Leo nor me wanted to see. A woman I'd once had to force out of my life—someone who didn't know when to let go. “ What does she want this time?" I asked with a sigh as I dropped the laptop I was holding and got up from bed. “ I don't know but whatever brought her back we both know it's not for good, Alessia knows nothing except causing trouble. Especially with her stupid obsession with you.” Leo said,“ I'm married, she should get over it and leave me the fuck alone," I said,“ That's the more reason she's mad, you know how she can be, soon enough she's going to start spreading lies about how you were supposed to marry her instead. I wish I could just bundle her and take her back to where she came from." Leo said, his voice an edge of anger and disgust. “ I don't care what she thinks about my marriage, I
I couldn't help but laugh as I sat on the couch in the karaoke room listening to Rodrigo sing at the top of his lungs, he was singing off key and he didn't even realize it.In here I felt so happy and so carefree, like I didn't have a burden in the world, like I couldn't see, like there might be a possibility that my husband didn't feel the same way as I did.“Whoah." I clapped my hands as Rodrigo ended the song in an overly terrible high note. “Come let's sing together," he said as he held my hand and started twirling me around and I couldn't help but laugh.“Girl, you know I want your love, your love was handmade for somebody like meCome on now, follow my leadI may be crazy, don't mind meSay: Boy, let's not talk too muchgrab on my waist and put that body on meCome on now, follow my leadCome, come on now, follow my lead, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm,” Rodrigo and I shouted the lyrics as we danced. “I'm in love with the shape of youWe push and pull like a magnet doAlthough my heart i
“You should be able to see in a few days with much precaution," the doctor said and I nodded.“I've given Rodrigo a pair of glasses you should use for now, you could see slightly just a little bit but it would do for now," the doctor said,"Here, I'll put the glasses on you,” Rodrigo said as he put the glasses on me and I could catch a few colors, nothing much.“This is so annoying,” I groaned,"Come on, you'll have to manage this for now.” He said and I nodded with a pout." Would that be all, doctor?" Rodrigo asked the doctor."Yes, please,” he said before I heard his footsteps exiting the room. “We're leaving now," Rodrigo said as he held my hand and I stood up from the bed then he started leading the way.“You know your husband called, he was so worried about you. He even threatened to kill me if anything happens to you," Rodrigo said and I stopped.“You're lying," I said and he chuckled,“I told you that guy is crazy about you, you should have heard the way he sounded, like he w
"You can see me?" Rodrigo asked in excitement as he took my hand but I shook my head.“I can't see you, not yet, but my vision caught the color red, that's why I asked if you were wearing red," I explained.“This means that soon enough you'll get your vision back," he said and I couldn't help but smile.I couldn't wait to see the world again, I couldn't wait to look at my reflection in the mirror again.And see Antonio's face. That voice in the back of my mind said and this time I didn't shut it out. “I'm so happy for the improvement no matter how little it is," Rodrigo said as he pulled me to him for a hug.“Your husband would be so happy about the news," Rodrigo said and I quickly pulled away from him.“No, I don't want him to find out. I have a plan Rodrigo, come closer," I said and without a second thought Rodrigo leaned closer as I whispered something into his ear.He gasped before pulling away, I couldn't see his face but I knew he had a mischievous smirk on his face."Wicked.
I adjusted the cufflinks of my suit as soon as I stepped out of the car as my eyes scanned the surroundings of the address I was given.It wasn't the type of place I was used to but I was willing to go to any length to find the truth and no matter how I denied it, I wanted to keep my wife safe.This wasn't for my mother this time, this was for me.“Are you sure we should really be here?" Leo asked from beside me and I spared him a glance before turning to the building that screamed danger.It was a two story building that looked like it had caught fire several times yet it was still standing."If it holds the truth I want, why not?” I said as I made the first move.“We should really contact the police instead," Leo suggested but I ignored him as I pushed the door open and walked in.“The police are slow," I said. He remained quiet after that as he just followed me.As soon as I closed the door, I heard the click of a gun and I slowly turned to see a tall man with tattoos covering his
I couldn't go back to sleep after what I saw. I climbed out of bed with her phone as I walked to the balcony. There were several pictures of us in the restaurant. Pictures of Lilly smiling looking so carefree. I looked at myself and I could see the look in my eyes, the look I thought she couldn't see but someone else caught it. My jaw felt like it would break because of how tight I was clenching it. What if this person was there when we were making love? Fuck! I should have been more careful. I didn't want anyone to witness something that was meant for just us. Could this be the person her stalker? I kept looking at the pictures until my eyes burned. I looked at the message I hadn't noticed because I was too busy staring at the pictures. ‘I see you were having a good time,’ the message read. Who was this person? I knew I wouldn't get any answers because it was late and that alone made me even more angry. I quickly forwarded the message to my phone before deleting
I waited for him to complete what he wanted to say but nothing came out of his mouth. Instead, I felt him bent his head to mine as his breath fanned my face before he claimed my lips in a passionate kiss.I was surprised at first but I found myself kissing him back. There was just something about the way he was kissing, like he was passing a message, telling me something that was maybe too heavy for him to speak out. His mouth devoured mine and I couldn't deny that I loved every bit of it.The way he kissed me was like a starved man who had been deprived all his life. I moaned into the kiss and I weaved my fingers through his hair as our tongues moved in a fierce dance as Antonio grunted, before pushing me on my back and getting on top of me.“God, I hate you," he groaned as his lips started kissing down my neck.“Likewise," I whispered.He didn't respond, instead he just kept kissing me as I felt his hardon on my stomach.I didn't even know where we were, what if someone was watchin
“You know I heard about you being blind and I really wanted to see for myself, damn you look pathetic," I would have rolled my eyes if not for the situation.“Antonio, do you hear anyone speaking because the only thing I can hear is the voice of a pauper," I said and Antonio chuckled,“You're not wrong my dear, there's a lady here who look like she sneaked into this restaurant," Antonio said,“It's a good thing I can't see her, I hate looking at cheap things," “So unfortunate for me that I can," Antonio said,“You should see yourself right now Lilly, blind, looking hopeless like the tramp you are, I wish you'd stay blind forever,"“Oh please Emilia, as you can see I was trying to have a quiet dinner with my husband, just leave. And hold on a minute, you say I'm blind right right? But I'm married and you here my darling can't keep a man for more than a day.” She became silent and I knew that I had struck a nerve."Listen to…"“Hey, hey, hey, you do realize I'm here which means you hav
I was currently sitting on the kitchen counter as I listened to Antonio move around in the kitchen trying to prepare lunch.He had been furious this morning because of my conversation with Scott. I couldn't tell if he was jealous or he was just acting angry because he didn't want his plans to be ruined but either way I found myself apologizing.Something I rarely do. When Scott had asked me the question about the divorce, I didn't know why, but I felt uncomfortable talking about divorcing Antonio. Before, I would have been delighted as long as it meant staying as far away from him as possible, but now it all felt different.“What are you thinking about?" Antonio's voice cut through my thoughts as he handed something to me and I took it, feeling for what it was. It was a snack bag. “Careful, it's open,” he said and I nodded as I held the bag in my hand."What are you making? It smells like pasta,” I said," Glad your nose is working fine,” he said and I scowled."Mrs Gonzalez!" I hea
His response wasn't one I expected as the next thing I felt was his lips on mine.“What…wh…” he swallowed my words as he pushed my back further into the bed and climbed on me. This dude didn't get the fact that I hated him.Yeah, tell yourself that Lilly. Shut up! "For someone who hates me you're always so obedient when I touch you. The way you surrender your body asking for more, your breath, the way you become desperate for me. And you claim you hate me.” He said mockingly as I felt his lips on my neck.“Each time you act like you don't want me but once I'm inside you it's a whole new story."“You're making up things in your stupid head," I said and he chuckled darkly, the sound sending a delicious shiver down my spine.“Tell yourself all you want, but—” he left the word hanging and I didn't know what he wanted to say.He suddenly pulled away from me and a part of me missed his body heat being close to me."Get some sleep, it's just 3:00 am," he said before I heard the bed dip and
