Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them - we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.
Brené Brown"Who told you that?" I ask, even though my brain has done the calculation and narrowing down, my heart refuses to accept and believe that.
His eyes narrow at me, "I think both of us knows who it is that told me."
I shake my head, trying to look as untouched as I can look, "I don't believe you."
He gives a burst of wicked laughter, "Why not? 'Cause your fiance is so trustworthy? Do you even know who you're getting married to? The man you're carrying his child?"
A part of me wants to listen to him and the other part knows that the truth he knows is going to break and crush me and if be
“You are not the victim of the world, but rather the master of your own destiny. It is your choices and decisions that determine your destiny.”~Roy T. Bennett(Third pov)As soon as Alex closes the door, she locks it up and tears run down her face, finally letting her defence fall. It wasn't true, this is all just a bad dream, one she's sure she's going to wake up from, there has to be a way for her to escape this disastrous show.She walks over to the dressing mirror where the flash drive is and she picks it up and walks over to my study desk where her laptop is and turn it on the laptop before inserting the flash into the USB port.A very small voice in her asks if getting more proof was necessary, Alvin probably knew more than he should because someone had told him. He couldn't have guessed all that accurately, he had
“It happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you've known forever don't see things the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on.”~Nicholas Sparks"Alex, please come open up, let us know you're alright?" Havana begs as she bangs harder on the door."I'm fine," she answers and takes the box of face wipe in front of the dressing mirror and begins to wipe off the make-up on her face. "I'm almost done here.""Why have you lock yourself in?" Nathan asks, confusion on his voice as he knocks continuous."I'm fine Nathan, stop knocking. I just need to make a little change." She tells them, wiping on and on until all the make-up is off her face. "Give me a minute."She gets up and walks to the wardrobe and picks up a pair of black jeans and a
There's a loud gasp among the crowd followed by a continuous murmur as Alex walks forward, but she pays no mind to it. She comes and stands in the centre of the hall and takes no further steps. So he is forced to climb down the alter and walk closer to her.She raises her hand when he began to get close, objecting to him coming any closer to her. She knows she can't stand the nearness of him and doesn't even want to try, she doesn't even want to look at him because that pain would be too much to handle.He listens to her objection and stops moving as he stares at Alex and his heart is racing insanely at what she plans to do next."Was it ever real to you?" She asks finally bringing herself to look at him and even she has to admit that he does look as good as always which makes her heart bleeds even more.His eyes grow weary at her finding out the truth, "Alex..." he begins trying to take a closer.

"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing."~Jim Morrison(Alexander's POV)I walk into the board meeting room and I take my seat. For every board meeting, I've always been early and I wasn't going to stop now. This is the first board meeting I'm having in the company since my failed wedding to Rogue six weeks ago. In fact, this is my first official outing since then; I've done all the needed paperwork from home and I've even had a conference call meeting with my other company in the United States but all have been done over a conference video call.A lot has contributed to my decision to stay in, I'm not doing it because I'm scared to face the world after what Rogue did to me, but I stayed home because I needed time for myself. I
"If pain must come, may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best way possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him."~Paulo Coelho***Six Week After The Wedding.***Rogue POVA week ago Alex told me to stay away from her and although I have decided to respect her wish and stay away I could not shove aside the fact that Alvin after succeeding in destroying my life and happiness was still stretching out his hand to hurt Alex and take everything away from her.I could still remember the look on her face that day as she accused me of being part of the plot to take her down orchestrated by Alvin. When she accused me of still workin
"People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio."~Jim Morrison"That works for me." He answers, feeling a little happy with himself.He is wearing khaki trousers and a white polo on top, his hairstyle has changed and his hair is now rearing a low cut, unlike the afro I've known him with in the last few months. On his face shows unshaved stubble which doesn't suit him at all but I let that be to avoid an argument.Only the heaven knows the facial style he's going to try keeping next.He is about to step inside, but I stop him with my hand, "So you know I did not open this door from the goodness of my heart, I'll beat the shit out of you if you don't stop your unending babbling." I
"The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too."~Ernest HemingwayI toss and turn in bed trying to force myself to sleep, it's almost nine a.m. and I still do not feel sleepy. My session with Laré's therapist is set to start by ten a.m. tomorrow morning and as much as possible I'd like to be early and of a sound mind before I go to meet her. Laré and Vivian believe something is wrong with me no and I'll be damned if I end up proving them right. After a long while of tossing and not feeling sleepy, my eyelids become heavy and slowly closes and the peace of a quiet mind comes in.My eyes open and as usual, sweat breaks out on my face at the same time my alarm clock begins to ring for eight a.m. and I pull myself and then reach out to turn off the loudly ringing alarm. The nightmare has hunted
"Marriage is the highest state of friendship. If happy, it lessens our cares by dividing them, at the same time that it doubles our pleasures by mutual participation."~Samuel RichardsonThree weeks later"How much longer do I have to sit still?" Alex asks impatiently as Martha and George try to get her hair into a perfect curl as if that was even possible. Her hair is curly there's no such thing as perfect curl, at least not for her hair. She remembers, Sarah, her mom constantly having to battle with her hair every day of school when she was younger. It was painful almost every time she touched it, but she had to endure it if she wanted to look neat and pretty for school. As she got older the curls lessened and the pain she usually felt as a child left— or maybe she just got used to it.Her hair has never been the soft and perfect looking one, it was tou
"The pleasure of love is in loving; we are happier in the passion we feel than in the passion we inspire."~François de la RochefoucauldShe feels his touch over her lower lips down, her neck and further down her chest and his fingers find her nipples, delicately strumming it, making her moan and arches her pelvis up, silently telling him where her needs for him is much, but he pushes her back down on the bed and continues his torture on her nipple and she moans out.He watches as her lips part and her tongue lifts between them as she moans out and he knows she's loving being touched, he didn't want to ask anything, he wanted her to communicate to him what she was feeling like he had instructed her earlier.He moves to the other nipple and he stro
"When a woman submits to a man, it's the most precious gift she can give. Herself. Unreservedly. The man has to respect and honor that gift above all else. Even if he respects nothing else in the world, he must respect the woman in his care. It's his sworn duty to protect, honor and cherish his submissive. To take care of her and provide a safe haven. Someone who would put his own needs above his woman's is no man."~Maya BanksThey step towards their bed and Rogue tilts her head up and snakes his tongue into her delicious mouth, tasting the vanilla flavour of the ice cream she had before they left the restaurant and that mixed with the taste of her mouth drives him insane. He pushes her against the close by window and he takes his time to worship his mouth with his lips as well as her face.
"I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me." ~Tallulah Bankhead"Do you miss our scenes?" Rogue suddenly asks midway into their meal and Alex almosts chokes on the food in her mouth as a result of how blunt and unexpected his approach was."Rogue...""I'm sorry if this is taking you by surprise, one of the things about BDSM is talking and I want to know what your opinion is on us resuming our scenes after so long.""Can we have this talk later?" She asks with awkwardness voice and her eyes don't lie.He looks around left and right, "No, there is nothing wrong with talking about it now, no one i
"A marriage is a like a house. When a light bulb goes out, you do not go and buy a new house, you fix the light bulb."~Happy Wives ClubThird POVA week laterAlex is at the balcony staring at the stars when she hears the door closing and she turns around and sees Rogue step into the bedroom, he's been out working late again and though she has nothing against him, the fact that tomorrow is the day they both go shopping for what they will need for their wedding makes her think that he may be too tired for it.
“There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it. For example, you can acknowledge and learn from mistakes you made, and then move on and refocus on the now. It is called forgiving yourself.”~Eckhart TolleWe enter into the building and as we approach the guard, wearing a black trouser and white short sleeve shirt with a badge he gets up and walks over to us,"Buenos dias (Good morning,)" he greets."Buenos dias (Good morning,)" we respond in unison."Estas buscando a alguien? (Are you looking for someone?)""Si, estoy aquí para ver al director de la prisión, señor Edwardo Fernanda. Dile que Rayyan Martin está aquí para verlo (Yes, I'm here to see the warden of the prison, Mr Edwardo Fernanda. Tell him Rayyan Martin is here to see him.)"

"The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward."~Steve MaraboliFlashback"I want to go home, I want my mommy! I don't want to be here anymore!" I cried out as Lorenzo got up from beside my bed to put on his clothes. My whole body was dead from what he just did to me and I could barely even move it. I was numb and aching and I could only speak and that was what I did. Tears rolled down my face and go into my ears."I told you before, your mommy left you and she's not coming back because she doesn't want you, no one wants you. Are you happy hearing that?" Lorenzo sneered wickedly."You're lying, you're a liar, you always have been! I don't believe a word you say!" I refused to believe
These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."~Elisabeth Kübler-Ross"Why are you up?" The sleepy voice of Alex calls out from across the room and I turn away from looking at the stars to see her scrunched up but beautiful face. "Come back to bed!" She calls out to me, raising her hand but it drops immediately from weakness and she lay back down in bed.I find myself smiling and I make my way over to the bed and I sit down beside her. "Why are you still up?" She asks with her level of concern high. "You can't sleep?" She adds."Yes, I couldn't sleep, gatita, but I'll be fine," I confessed to her and take her hand in mine."You won't be fine, sleep is important and without it,
