CHAPTER 73

After a long, dreamless slumber in the paradiese like luxury bedroom, Antonia's eyes slowly fluttered open. As she gently became receptive to her surroundings, she sat on her back and rubbed the blurry off her eyes with the back of her hand.

"5:27 PM," she muttered to herself, yawning deeply, but when she looked to her side, she saw that she was alone. She was about to pull the curtains aside and peep outside when a sharp headache shot through the left side of her head. "Ouch!" She whispered, grimacing and shutting her eyes, "I had too much to drink last night,oh damn"

A sharp streak of cold shot through her as her legs came in contact with the bathroom tiles, spending shivers through her gelid veins.

    Chapter 74As he slapped the bottle of alcohol out of Antonia's hand, she stared at him in shock, her eyes opened wide. "I..I..am sorry Tonia" Seeing the repercussions of his actions, he immediately began to feel sorry and so he apologized to her."Christian, what did you just do?" She yelled at him and then bent down immediately to collect all the pieces of the broken bottle and the cup that was on the floor. "I'm sorry Tonia, I didn't mean for this to happen. I just wanted you to stop drinking, it's not healthy" Christian tried to defend himself "What the fuck has come over you!" Tonia shouted at him and then kept picking the glasses up with her bare hands when Christian pulled her away from it causing them to fall back down again. "Let me go" She yelled at him before shoving him away from her. "You shouldn't be picking the glass with your hands, what if you get hurt!" He yelled back at her. "You don't have the right to act concerned about me when you don't care about me," She s

    CHAPTER 75The emotional strains in Antonia and Christian's relationship grew worse as the days went by. The streaks of raw passion they once shared in their love became replaced with uncertainties,fear, detachment, invisible distance and longings fueled by the love Chris had for his children. Christian no longer belonged to her,he had a life she would never fit into. "I thought you would spend the night with me," she said to him one night after he'd taken her to see a movie. He had seen her off to her room and she'd offered to make dinner for them in her private kitchen when he declined. "I was hoping we could sleep in penthouse and stare at the stars together. Like we used to do" A small smile played on Chris's lips as he remembered the time they shared sweet intimacies on the roof. Under the stars,in the cool breeze, with no cares to daunt them but their raging desires. "I have to help the children with their assignment and get them prepared for school tomorrow. Laura is a li

From the bedroom window, she could see that there were two occupants in the car. Trying to get the identity of the other person, she craned her neck but couldn't see the face of the person clearly. Still staring, the driver's door was pushed open and an angry looking Christian stepped out. The next minute Laura climbed out too, in contrast to Christian angry demeanor, she was wearing a calm look. The couples looked around for a while and then exchanged glances before they disappeared from her eyesight. Now staring at the door, Antonia had her hands across her chest as she stared hard at the door waiting for Christian to walk in. Immediately the knob was twisted, she pulled herself from the wall and with a heavy footstep, she stormed towards the door, sendi
