Love Under Fire The next day
Nancy When I woke up the next morning, I was slightly startled when I noticed the man lying in bed next to me, so I tried to remember what had happened the night before. Lanie and I were at a nightclub, and an abuser tried to force me, but an attractive guy saved me from him. I stopped at the police station, and then I remembered my rescuer being kind and taking me to Lanie's house, but I didn't get out of the car because the man suggested going somewhere else. After all, according to him, our night was just beginning... His name was Jake Gardner, and he was now lying in the same bed as me. My eyes were wide, and my face flushed as very compromising images from last night flashed through my mind, giving me away. Apparently, I had really enjoyed myself… I got out of bed immediately, realizing that I was naked. I pulled the sheet to cover my body, completely embarrassed, but I ended up pulling the entire sheet and discovering Jake's body, who was also without clothes. Furthermore,
Love Under Fire The daring to be happy
NancyI immediately left that promiscuous motel with my head lowered in shame and took the first taxi that came my way. I wanted to hide, bury my head in the ground, and disappear because I was so ashamed of myself. What was I thinking? That I was about twenty years old and could do crazy things like that? I decided to blame Bruce; he was the one who had destroyed my life until I reached the point of losing my sense and decency like that. My God! Was that policeman really a good person? What if he told someone what I had done with him? My God, what a shame! I slid my body into the taxi seat, muttering in disgust. I was finished! When I arrived at Lanie's apartment, I was thankful that she wasn't in the house, and then I immediately went to my room to change my clothes and get back into my decent clothes. I tried to fix my hair, but I wrinkled my nose when I realized that there wasn't much I could do anyway. My hair was short, even at neck level; I had never left it that short. Good
Love Under Fire Unholy
GloryDenverI decided to prepare a snack and take it to Candace upstairs; she hadn't left her room much since the scandal that had happened in that house last week, and I was worried. What if she did something she would regret later? Besides, I had to play my role as a mother-in-law. I looked out the window at the vast field of pine trees that surrounded the Morton mansion until I lost sight of it, and there, I could see the mountains covered in snow on their tops as if they were big chocolate cakes with whipped cream topping. That image brought a silent peace inside. When I moved into this house, that view of nature was the thing that I certainly liked at first. The toaster alarm went off, alerting me that the toast was ready. I went to get it, buttered it, arranged everything on the tray with a glass of juice, and then went up the stairs to Candace's room. Ivor, my little son, was playing with his nanny in the living room in front of the TV. He was already five years old; it was
Love Under Fire Under threat
GloryI left that room as quickly as if a ferocious animal were coming after me to devour me. I immediately ran to my room and locked myself in the bathroom, breathing through my mouth while panic took over me. How was that possible? How had that woman found out about a secret that I had been keeping under lock and key for so many damn years? She definitely wasn't supposed to know. I couldn't even imagine the size of the threat it represented to me.I cried, I struggled, and I lamented. After everything I had sacrificed to get to this place, now everything was being threatened by this girl who barely knew what it was like to sleep on an empty stomach. Who was she to think she had the right to judge me? It wasn't like I wanted to fall in love with Harald. She didn't know anything; she didn't understand anything! She couldn't threaten me like that...My story with Harald didn't even compare to the unholy affair she had with Bruce. Neither Harald nor I were to blame for finding ourselves
Love Under Fire Such a romantic bad guy
NancyWhen I sent a message to him, he took so long to reply that I thought he wasn't going to do this. It had actually been a few minutes of silence, but I was so nervous that every minute he was silent seemed to take an entire century. But he responded. “Hi, Nancy! I got scared and accidentally dropped my cell phone here… Haha! His message said. I ended up laughing about it. My heart was so warm... Nancy: My bad, then. I really should have texted you sooner. Jake: Jake: It's okay; I'm glad you texted me at the end. Jake: Do you want to talk about what happened yesterday? I will understand if you are still mad at me; I should have analyzed my actions. Nancy: No, it's okay. Actually, I have to apologize for blaming you... it's just... Jake: You don't need to explain yourself, Nancy. I really understand… Can I call to you right now? I thought about his request for a while, but in any case, he needed an explanation. Nancy: Of course, you can call me. At that same moment, my ce
Love Under Fire Knowing Jake
NancyLanie took us around town in her convertible. It was a pleasant evening, and the cool city breeze brushed my skin. The view of the city, which was extremely illuminated by neon lights, made things much warmer, or maybe it was just the presence of the man sitting next to me. He certainly gave me pleasant and exciting sensations. He was chatting casually with Lanie and the topic was the beautiful, sporting city of Las Vegas, but his fingers were gently brushing the back of my hand in the space where our skin met. It was strange and exciting to see how a simple touch from him could completely shake my senses, giving me butterflies. Was this what it felt like to be captivated by someone? I've rarely had this chance for someone to let themselves appear so attractive to me. Bruce had been my first and only man, and since he cared little about me, I practically never went through that phase of smiling stupidly while thinking about someone special. Although, at my age, that was still
Love Under Fire Make your bets!
NancyLanie gave us chips to play roulette for fun, just to make our night a lot more interesting. “But what if we make a fortune here? What are we going to do with the money?” I asked Jake with humor. He chuckled as he stacked our chips on top of each other. “Then we will be rich, you and I,” he replied, making me laugh too. Lanie betrayed us, actually. She brought us here, but barely stayed with us. According to her, she had some matters to take care of regarding her work, so it was up to Jake and me to have fun alone. There was a roulette table in front of us, with its own wheel and betting layout. Lanie had offered chips worth a thousand dollars to each of us, since the intention was to have fun. But I didn't think I was going to have that much fun because I didn't understand anything about the game—all those numbers—not that I wasn't good at math; it was more because I had literally never played in a casino, not even those online. The life I led was much more domestic and did
Love Under Fire Roll the dice!
NancyI saw a vein popping out of the man's forehead. He clearly didn't expect that a simple woman like me would challenge him like that. "All or nothing? Wow! This is risky even for you, gentleman,” said one of the men participating in the game, addressing the smug rich man. He looked at me with a threatening look, as if I were no match for him. He was a fucking bastard, and I liked seeing him suffer. I could lose all my chips in that game because the chances were infinitely low for me, but that man who was provoking me could also lose money in that game, and it would be very pleasurable for me to see him lose even just once. “Why this hesitation? I thought you liked challenges, sir,” I said to him. I was the one with the smug smile now. He chuckled, looking at me as if I were just a mosquito bothering him. “It's a shame you just changed my opinion; I don't think you're that sexy anymore,” he said, making the people there laugh, but Jake wasn't laughing; he was pissed at the way
