“Okay, of course we’ll talk to him. I want everything to be right between us,” he replies, and when he said that my heart is filled with joy. The fact that we're together hasn't come out yet and if it does, I want it to start on the right note.“I love you,” I blurt out. Shit, it couldn't have been over the phone.“Are you aware of how happy I am hearing those three little words finally come from that delectable mouth? I love you too, my beautiful,” he replies. He says that he’s got to go now. I blow virtual kisses and hang up my phone, feeling super happy.For the rest of the afternoon, I invite the girls over to my room to watch some nonsense on TV.By 6 p.m. I am looking for my black lingerie set. While dressing, I already begin to analyse various permutations and combinations of what could go wrong on the phone call between me, Hunter and my parents. This is certainly a huge step in our relationship. Over the bra, I wear a loose floral shirt, black tights, a jersey jacket and snea

I wake up to the light in the room. I am sweating from the summer heat but nothing can beat the sight of Hunter all curled up against me. I look at the bedside table and read that it is 7 a.m. It's Tuesday, and I hate Tuesday, because it's way before Friday.I get up to get ready to go to university, before remembering they are in mourning. After doing my morning hygiene, I decide to wake Hunter up. I kiss his cheek, and he smiles lazily, opening one eye at a time.“Good morning lazy bum. I don't want to scare you, but it's already 7:05. Don’t you have to attend your morning training session?” I ask him, offering several kisses to wake him up.He jumps up upon hearing ‘training’, frantically saying, “Oh shit! We need to go soon. I need to get to the training camp by 8 a.m., and I still need to drop you off at the university. Sorry, but there will not be time for us to have breakfast.”“Hunter, calm down. I don't have class today, remember?” I say, laughing at him.“Okay, then let me d

I answer in Spanish.“Hi sister-in-law, how are you?” Sophia asks excitedly.“Hi Sophia. I'm glad you called,” I say, excitedly.“I called to see if you wanted to join me and my friends for a chat. Take a walk, drink, talk and have fun now that the jealous brother isn’t around. Wanna go?” she laughs.“Awww, that’s so sweet of you Sophia. I just finalised plans with my friends; would you like to tag along? That way you can know each other better,” I suggest.“Perfect! It will be great. I’ll bring a friend along. The more women, the better for gossiping,” she says.“Great, let's meet at a karaoke bar in a while, okay?” I let her know the address of the place.“Of course, we’re gonna have lots of fun. See you there, kisses,” she replies and ends the call.Sophia seems to be a friendly person. It isn't simply because she has a rich and famous brother. She is my age and seems to be cheerful and happy. She has a classy, elegant style. I think she is a fantastic person.I put on my black flo

The following day just seems to drag. Class. Lunch. Class. I can’t pay attention in Mr. Rivers' class, and every hour I sneak away to the bathroom to check the game score. Not that I’m truly interested in the game. I am interested in seeing him on the field.It is about two in the afternoon when the game ends and he has several interviews. He is shirtless because he had given his shirt to another player on the opposing team as a fan-gift. Seeing him bare chested, I almost have a heart attack. While walking on campus, people come to comment about how well he plays. Of course... everyone knows we are together.On the one hand, I want to go back to America to flee this madness and hope it passes soon. But on the other, it would mean having to live away from Hunter, and this is eating me up inside. I am madly in love with him, and the thought of being apart hurts me way too much.Finally, I get to go home. The girls and I leave University at 5 p.m. We walk as usual but make a quick stop

“I did get up to dance with him but I felt uncomfortable and excused myself,” I admit. “Then soon after it was getting late and I had university classes the following day, that’s why we decided to leave, didn’t we Sophia?” I say, staring at Victoria. She looked away, scared as she saw me curling my fist!“Yes of course Selena. You're leaving on Sunday, aren’t you?” Sophia says, breaking the ice seconds later by switching the conversation topic. Hunter is silent as this goes on. I am getting really apprehensive and I hope he isn’t misunderstanding me at any point.“Yes, I am. To be more specific, at night,” I say, a little shaken. Reality seems to be catching up.“I think we should go together to New York for the festival. You're going to Panama and Vic and me to New York. What do you think?” Sophia smiles, looking at me.“Of course, it will be great to have company. The girls don't leave for another week.”“The timing will be fine because Jennifer is arriving from London and we will a

“I'll never find anyone like her because I found you. I spotted you. When I saw you, smeared with booze in that white tank top, it was the cutest thing I've ever seen. And with you still cursing me, I went crazy. But I didn't know the person that you are, and I did the thing I will regret most in my life: having treated you as I treated others.”My eyes tear up. This was not what I was expecting to hear."You made me better from the moment you told me the first no. I was pissed off at you and screwed up, but you were always on my side after that. When you said I was the heartbreaking kind of guy, I realized that I had been that guy these last few months. And that’s not me. You managed to switch on a side of me I had long lost forgotten or rather buried so deep, it wouldn’t be uncovered”He cups my face like a child, kissing me deeply. “And you, only you Selena, brought the best in me. You brought out the best in me in less than a month for what four years didn't do for me. That's why

Since Hunter told me about his old girlfriend and declared his love once more to me, we haven't discussed the topic anymore. I am sure of him now. I will soon by flying home and I want to spend as much time as possible with him before I leave Barcelona.I know this is something my parents don’t like. I want to see what they will say in almost four days. When Friday morning comes along, it has never seemed so beautiful. I think it's because Hunter is going to pick me up from the university and we're going to spend the weekend together, at least until Sunday afternoon. The time I plan to leave.The Barcelona team has a general day off, and I still don't know who is luckier, me or the football referee. It’s my last weekend in Barcelona.

“Well, you agreed you wanted to visit Paris. So, I decided to give it to us as a commemoration gift.” He smiles.“And what exactly are we celebrating?” I ask. He's even crazier than I thought he was.“Our love, my beautiful Selena.” He smiles and watches me blush. I have absolutely no response to that one except. His gesture has left me speechless.“I only brought clothes for one night. I'm going to Paris, and I don't have clothes, how original, huh!” I pout.“It doesn't matter; clothes are the least of our worries right now,” he replies. He asks me to loosen up and enjoy the destination rather than anticipating the next problem.“Benvingut on board, Mr. Blanco,” says the pilot, joining us at our seats. Welcome aboard, Mr. Blanco. He is formally dressed and looks familiar.“Selena, this is Marco, our pilot,” introduces Hunter.Holy shit, the karaoke guy. I go red, but I'm glad Hunter doesn’t notice.Our flight time is two hours.

Hunted By The Player Epilogue
One year later...You've been married for just over a year, and your children will complete one year. How has your life changed from then?I fiddle with my fingers that are resting on my now finely crossed legs.“I discovered myself as a woman,” I answer, facing Alice as she interviews me. “I found that I can really take care of someone, since I didn't even know how to take care of myself. And now I take care of four!”“How is the atmosphere in your house with your children?”I smile. “My house is the biggest mess ever. It's a minefield of toys everywhere. Every time I get home, my kids start waving their arms frantically and laughing nonstop to see me.”“And your husband, Hunter Blanco, is at home with his children?”I look at the camera nervously photographing me and then back at Alice.“He is an amazing father, and whenever he can, he is with his children and family.” I end it there and Alice tilts her head and looks at me.“Selena!” she scolds me. “This is a personal interview, so

I let him enter the dimly lit room. The quiet and peaceful environment, together with the image of Hunter kissing our children's foreheads, fascinates me. He cares about them fifteen thousand times more than he cares about me. Before, I didn't understand the reason for this exaggeration, but now I would watch over them as they sleep twenty-four hours a day if I could.“How did they spend these last few days?”My heart sinks, remembering. It’s been five days since we've seen each other, way too long!“The pediatrician said that Valeria should start taking half a dose of the medication,” I inform and he sighs. “The boys are missing iron. Did you see the size of Pedro's fat little hand and Liam's thick thigh?” I say, laughing.“There was no way not to notice it, it makes you want to bite it.”I feel like crying to see him so happy. I want to hug him and hold him so much that I have to hold back. I need him to keep me strong, and I like it better when I have more time, but now it doesn't

I smooth out my suit, ready to get off the plane. I become twice as nervous.I'm coming back from Germany after another game for the Champions League*. It was quite a game. I’m bringing another victory and two more goals in my career. Today I feel like no one can beat me. Nobody can beat me as the best player, as the best husband and as the best father, and that's why I feel powerful, having my family around.I quicken my pace, leaving my team behind.

I try to get comfortable in my hospital bed, but it's impossible. My stitches are sore, and my belly never seems to want to deflate. I want my tiny waist back and not get saggy!My two boys have just had their last hospital feed as tomorrow we are finally going home. After almost four days, we can go to our new house which I still haven't seen after the last details of the renovation. The hard part will be leaving my little one with the pink bow in her hair at the hospital. It won't be easy. After all, I have to feed three babies, and one of them will be far from me in that damn incubator.Hunter is hesitant after I mention Christiano's name, constantly dodging the conversation. Still, every time I look at him, I see his watery eyes for our daughter, who hasn't shown any improvement. I can't hide my crying spells. After all, I want my family back home and healthy. I can't believe that as soon as he learned more about the subject, he didn't think straight about his brother, who is too

“We have tested everyone in our family,” Hunter takes the lead. “Even Alice, Joanna, Stella, Fernando and Sophia volunteered. I realised that Sophia was on the list since she is not your blood sister. But none of them are a match,” he says, unsatisfied.I spend more time with my daughter, my beautiful little princess with blue eyes. She swallows stiffly every time she moves inside that warm bubble. She is so small, so white and almost bald.I head back to the bedroom, and soon they bring me my two boys. When I hold them one by one in my lap, already lying on the gurney, I almost fear I am going to drop them. Like their sister, they are so tiny, also white and bald. I can barely distinguish them from one another.First, I cuddle Pedro, who keeps moving his hands and making faces. And then it is Liam's turn, who keeps wiggling and blinking lazily.

Life is sometimes so unfair but objectively correct. There are no pains that cannot be healed, no bonds that cannot be joined, people that do not come back—the concept of life and death. Widely known as the eminent pain after a person, who is deliberately said to set out on a better journey. Maybe not. Since no one has yet discovered what occurs after death, there are only scientific and religious theories to go by.I can say that experiencing death is neither painful nor sad. I don't feel like running out of the light and back to life. Peace. Perhaps the peace that everyone seeks is not in life itself. Never, ever, no matter how hard you try, you will never have any rest. As much as something is resolved well, another factor comes and shakes everything again. That may be the meaning of life. It’s not just you opening your eyes and feeling that your heart is still beating. It's a vicious cycle, where love and disagreement will always be present as a challenge, a challenge you face eve

I feel my eyelids getting heavier. It's too hard to keep my eyes alert. The doctors and nurses keep encouraging me to stay awake as I drift off. Sleeping at a time like this would complicate their work much more.They get to work with the scalpel. A rush takes place behind the door, and I am aware of what is happening. Hunter, my Hunter is in sterilised blue suits to match his blue eyes.My head starts to ache, and I close my eyes due to the sudden pain."Our first appearance together. There will be a lot of people.“If you get nervous and want to leave that's fine.""Let's see you soon, my beautiful. Just don't forget what we had together."More pressure in my head settles, and every time I open my eyes and blink, there’s a flash of memory.“I promise to never forget you,” I speak hoarsely, repeating what I told him on the day of the benefit ball.He takes my hand, and we both cry, and then he understands everything.

He for talking to me about pessimism, and I admit that I'm pessimistic, but I didn't say that, and that's precisely my percentage of the blame.Despite what the doctor said, I was determined to fight the obvious consequence at all odds. I had to be positive, believe there was a calming light at the end of a tunnel, that it wasn’t a train which will crush me under it’s wheels of destiny.Snap!
