Her Ex-husband's Deception Echoes of the past 1
Despite Pietro’s repeated attempts to shut down Alessia’s attempts at building a relationship with their daughter Sophia, she remained persistent. Alessia had managed to find out the address of Pietro’s company and wouldn’t stop coming in, requesting an audience with him. She had even managed to get his home address and had shown up one evening when Skylar and the boys were over. Her appearance had everybody on edge, especially Skylar.That evening had been a quiet one, with everyone gathered in the living room. Jared and Lorenzo were playing with their toys on the floor, while Sophia was reading a book on the couch next to Skylar. Pietro was in the kitchen, preparing snacks for everyone.The doorbell rang, startling everyone. Pietro wiped his hands on a towel and went to answer it. When he opened the door, his expression immediately soured. “Alessia, what are you doing here?”Skylar’s heart sank as she saw Alessia standing in the doorway, her confident demeanour a stark contrast t
Her Ex-husband's Deception Echoes of the Past 2
The next time Skylar initiated intimacy, Pietro didn’t hesitate. They moved slowly, each touch and kiss a reaffirmation of their bond. The world outside their bedroom faded away, leaving only the two of them, united in their love.Afterward, as they lay in each other’s arms, Skylar felt a sense of peace she hadn’t felt in weeks. She looked at Pietro, her eyes filled with gratitude. “Thank you for understanding.”Pietro kissed her forehead. “I’ll always understand, Sky. We’re in this together.”The following days were a mix of normalcy and underlying tension. Alessia continued her attempts to reach out, but Pietro remained steadfast in his refusal to let her disrupt their lives.One afternoon, while Skylar was at work, she found herself alone with her thoughts. The classroom was quiet, the children were out for sports and the stillness allowed her mind to wander. She walked through the room, tidying up and prepping for the next lesson, memories of happier times flooding her.That
Her Ex-husband's Deception The calm before the storm
The Calm Before the Storm The weeks had gone by, and with each passing day, the worries about Jason’s whereabouts and Alessia’s presence started to dissipate. Skylar and Pietro had been enjoying the new phase of their relationship. The intimacy had unlocked a deeper connection, and they were basking in the bliss of it. The children had adapted well to the changes, and the household felt more like a united family every day. It was a calm afternoon, and Skylar was fed up with having to stay indoors since she had come down with a stomach bug a few days ago. Her illness had kept her confined to the house, much to her frustration. Today, however, she was in the company of Evelyn, Sophia, and Valentina. The boys and Emilio were at the park and planned to spend the night at Pietro’s house. As Evelyn, Sophia, and Valentina busied themselves in the kitchen, preparing dinner, Skylar decided she needed some fresh air. The urge to break free from the confines of the house was too strong to r
Her Ex-husband's Deception The Depths of Despair
Days turned into an agonizing blur as Skylar remained trapped in the cold, dark basement. The small window that allowed a sliver of daylight into the room mocked her confinement, a constant reminder of the freedom just out of reach. Her stomach bug persisted, making her weak and dampening her determination to escape. Each day that passed, she felt the grip of fear and emptiness tighten around her heart.She missed her sons, Jared and Lorenzo. Their laughter, their hugs, their endless questions—everything about them seemed so distant now. She missed her brother Emilio and little Valentina, the way their presence brought warmth and comfort to her life. She even missed Emily and Liam, who had become an unexpected part of her family. And, of course, she missed Sophia, Evelyn, James, and Catherine, whose support had been unwavering.Most of all, she missed Pietro. She missed his warm smile, his comforting hugs, his tender kisses, and the way his presence made her feel safe and cherished.
Her Ex-husband's Deception Seeds of hope and fear
Skylar huddled in the corner of the cold basement, wrapping the thin blanket tighter around her shoulders. The concrete floor beneath her offered no comfort, and the chill of the room seeped into her bones. It had been weeks, maybe even a month since Jason had kidnapped her. Time had blurred into a monotonous haze, marked only by Jason’s sporadic visits and the infrequent, meagre meals he brought her. Her body had been feeling strange for the past few days. At first, she thought it was just the stress and the ever persistent stomach bug , but a nagging suspicion had been growing in the back of her mind. She counted the days as best as she could and realized she should have gone through her monthly cycle by now. The thought sent a shiver down her spine, but not from the cold. Could she be pregnant? Skylar’s hand instinctively moved to her stomach, her heart racing. If she was pregnant, it could only be Pietro’s child. A rush of mixed emotions flooded her: hope, fear, excitement, and
Her Ex-husband's Deception Shadows in the Basement.
Skylar sat on the cold, hard floor of the basement, her hands resting gently on her rapidly growing belly. The dim light that filtered through the small window at the top corner of the room provided her only sense of time. ‘It must be morning.’ she thought, as the pale light turned from grey to a slightly warmer hue. Every day spent in this place, felt like an eternity. The basement, had become a place of dread and fear, had become her prison. She tried her hardest to hide her pregnancy from Jason, but it was getting more difficult with each passing day. The nausea, the cravings, the obvious swelling of her belly—everything was becoming too apparent. Maybe it was because she was loosing weight. She feared what Jason might do if he found out about her baby. Skylar had noticed a disturbing trend: Jason had reduced the amount of food he brought her. He used to bring her meals thrice a day, but now it was twice, and even then, the portions were smaller. She couldn’t shake off the suspi
Her Ex-husband's Deception Bound In Fear
The dim, flickering lightbulb hung from the ceiling, casting long shadows on the cold concrete walls of the basement. Skylar’s hands trembled as she tugged at the hem of the tiny top Jason had provided, trying to make it cover her growing belly. The small assortment of clothes he had given her no longer fit, and hiding her pregnancy was becoming impossible. She knew the day would come when Jason would notice, and that day seemed to be today. As she struggled with the top, the creak of the basement door made her freeze. Jason’s heavy footsteps echoed down the stairs. Skylar turned away from the door, hoping he wouldn’t see the obvious bulge. Her heart pounded in her chest as she heard him approach. “Skylar, love?” Jason called out, his voice filled with suspicion. “What are you doing?” “Just getting dressed,” she replied, her voice shaking. Jason’s eyes narrowed as he walked closer, his gaze lingering on her midsection. He stopped a few feet away, his eyes widening as he finally
Her Ex-husband's Deception Fraying threads of hope
Pietro sat on the edge of the bed, his head in his hands. The room was dark, the only light coming from the small lamp on the nightstand. He glanced at the clock; it was past midnight. Another sleepless night, another night of worry and despair. It had been almost five months since Skylar was taken, and every day without her felt like an eternity.The police had hit another dead end. Every lead they followed seemed to evaporate into thin air, leaving Pietro feeling more helpless than ever. He thought of Skylar constantly, imagining the horrors she might be enduring at Jason’s hands. The thought was enough to make him sick with fear and rage.Down the hall, Jared and Lorenzo were fast asleep, their innocent faces peaceful in slumber. During the day, they were different children than they had been before the kidnapping. Jared had become withdrawn, spending most of his time in his room, while Lorenzo, who used to be full of energy and laughter, had grown quiet and subdued. Pietro tried
