Isabella ripped that one page from her diary. This was her only moment. She was finally going to confess. She willed herself out of the room. There was no time like the present.If she was going to fail to tell him her heart’s desire, then she was simply going to hand him that piece of paper. In her paper she said,‘I have never known happiness. I have never seen the sun’s bright rays of light. Even at the night, my heart has never been moved by the moonlight and the stars. To me they were nothing but rocks, burning millions of miles away. But then in my deepest darkest moment, I met you.In my lonely moments, I saw you. You have filled my heart with love, like a thief you have stolen my heart and hid it in a place only you can find.Don’t you now consider yourself to be selfish? How can you understand this feeling if I do not yet exist in your lonely world?But now, because you are the reason, I can watch the sun as it rises from its sleep, I stay up late at night some days and make
“I love you” she began“Don’t .......please don’t. Not now”“I need to tell you this. You have to believe me”He only pushed passed her and walked to the front door.“This is all my fault” she moaned, catching his attention with the desperate attempt. “I know that all this is happening because of me.”He didn’t stop at the sound of her voice. He eventually exited the room but she quickly followed him and again she said, “Please Don, this is my fault. You can punish me if you want. I know I deserve it but please let me take her to the hospital. I am going to come back.”“Your words mean nothing to me. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to trust a word from your mouth. You say one thing and do the other. You claim you feel nothing for my brother but you scream his name when I make love to you.”“Am sorry Don I am. Maybe I haven’t
DANDELIONS*. *. *. *. *“Hi Laura, it’s me, Selena.” She could hear her voice bouncing back from the walls on the other end of the line. There was heavy breathing on the phone.“Selena?” the wavering voice broke through. “Is that you ?” “Yes Lu, it’s me” she answered, holding back the tears.“But...........how.........I thought you were......dead” She breathed, now crying. “Let’s not do this over the phone. Meet me at the play Park in one hour. Bring Erick with you.”“Uuuum, okay.........we will be there” she promised, still in shock.The Play Park was a large green field of irregular plains. A dozen deliberate trees held a few spots to offer to relieve shelter to the couples that flocked here from the library across the street. The state museum stood eastward, overlooking the lucent lawn and satiating atmosphere.Selena came here as quickly as she could, and stood anxiously for a moment in the open as she searched for them.It had been so long since she saw Erick and Laura, her fami
Steady footsteps echoed outside the door. The sound of imminent danger was almost muffled by the falling rain. A spear of lightning lit the sky and a shadow from the front door crept in uninvited.Don slunk out of the sheets with his gun drawn. His eyes were a bit sore from a heavy sleep. It was now four in the morning. Heart pounding in his chest, he reached for the door, swung it hard, and almost opened fire on........Selena! His hands jerked back to hide the gun. He took in the rest of her wet and trembling body, accompanied by the fear of nearly being shot at.“Selena?”“Am sorry, I didn’t mean to come unannounced, but I figured you wouldn’t have met me had I asked....”“What are you doing here, especially this time of the night ?” “I wanted to-”“No, actually, don’t mind that. How did you find me”“I’ve spent a month with the most elusive crime lord in all of Colombia, don’t you think I know a few tricks by now?”He immediately pulled her inside, “Come on in, and I'm sure it's Du
A few more hours went by. It had stopped raining and the curtains dangled and swayed gently from the cold wind making its way through the window.Selena was resting on his chest, listening to his heartbeats. He would run his hand down her bare back gently and picture something more than this passing moment. He could feel the warmth of her whole body on him and he relished this feeling.“Can I ask you a question?” she began quietly. ”Go ahead”“Promise you won’t get mad”“I already don’t like where this is going” he confessed.She pushed up to look at him directly. “I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t important, please........” “Okay, fine, you can ask”She breathed. “Where is your brother? I am only asking because I know he has also been through a lot”He took his time to say, “My brother left the country a few days ago. He promised to never come back”She cringed inside. Space and time were not what the brothers needed right now. Being apart was just going to break them further from each o
It was dark outside and cold, to say the least. A few cars would pass him by time and again. The only safe place he could go to was a couple of miles away. Now that his cover was blown, he needed to be careful.Beams of bright light cleared the road from behind him. At this time of the night, he was the only one walking. The car behind him slowed down until stopping right in front of him. An unfamiliar vehicle. The window rolled down and there she was again.“For a guy who’s a criminal, you’re not very hard to find”He leaned in through the window, catching a better look at the Detective. “Maybe I wanted to be found by you.”“ Why would you want me to find you Maximus ?” “You’re the only one I know here”A few more cars passed them by as they stood there.“This place is dangerous” she reminded. “Do you have a place to stay ?”“Yes, my warehouse is a few minutes walk from here”“Well, I certainly cannot let you walk there. And I can’t let you sleep in a warehouse either. I have to keep
Prologue“Do you want me to hurt you?” “Yes........”“Do you want me to own you tonight?” She said nothing.“Are you drunk?” “No.......”“You are breaking the rules. I am going to have to punish you for that.” He slid the glass of wine from her side of the table, gathering her full attention.“Do you want me to make love to you?”“Yes..........” She squirmed on her stool, next to him but she ended up framing her thighs fully when her dress moved higher.Immediately he touched her there and she almost protested but her hands stopped mid-way, remembering how much she ached to have him inside of her. As his hands continued deeper, she let out a breathless moan, pinching her legs together and locking him in.“You’ll have to let my hand go, I haven’t gotten to the best part yet”She covered her face, now embarrassed but eventually obeyed. He stopped and withdrew.He thought for a moment and then decided to lead her somewhere.“Come with me,” he said. “The night has just begun. Slowly he
There was a situation in the quartenage, somewhere in the camp. Maximus was made aware of it and immediately he and his battalion went back in a rush. There were land mines buried everywhere around the camp, hidden cameras that could easily be ignored by anyone without military field expertise, and gunmen camouflaged to invisibility.The battalion arrived at the camp and Maximus rushed to the quartenage to handle the situation. It was a well-built facility with deep underground tunnels. Security here was unearthly and dangerous, to say the least. The only two places in the building without cameras were one of the basements down below and the red room.Maximus stormed through the hallway, heading directly for the red room. Suddenly the door opened and a woman stepped out. She was as beautiful as a dream. She had eyes as blue and enchanting as the sea, and her skin and color were breathtaking. Her beautiful hair appeared rough and messy. He examined the lady as she approached. She tried

In a few hours, it began showering with a beastly cold wind menacing the outside world as if the atmosphere was giving way to an age of ice. The fever had weakened her to the utmost. She could only think of her diary as a means to escape her current state of mind. In her diary, she told him all the things she couldn’t say to him in person. Then again she remembered that if he still wasn’t in his right state of mind, then she would pretend to be Selena and tell him all the things written in her diary.Suddenly she could heard footsteps down the corridor and she wills herself out of bed. Her body is weak and there is pain throbbing in her temple from the fever. The moment she made it out of the room, she could see Maximus making his way to the front door. She hurries behind him and trudges down the stairs. She stops for a quick breath, coughs, and tries to drive off the dizziness in her eyes. She manages to get to the door and there he is, standing on the edge of the porch, staring int
It was still raining outside when Isabella opened her eyes. She was still alone in bed, aching. As she sat up, shivering from the cold, there was the thought of him. He needed her and she needed to lay aside her feelings as a nurse for him.She managed to pull herself from bed and walked to his room. He wasn’t there. He was gone, just like a few nights before. Panicking, she ran up and down the stairs looking for him. He was gone, perhaps to look for his brother or maybe he had come back to normal and searched for Selena.Panicking a little more with each passing minute, she decided to explore his room one final time, this time she was tempted to take a peak through the window.There he was. Standing in the rain with his arms spread like it was a beautiful sunny day. Her heart shot out immediately. He still wasn’t in his right state of mind.She stormed out of the room, down the stairs, through the front door, and took no time to jump into the rain. He was still just standing there.“
