My husband stared at me, seeking answers that even I didn’t have. I wanted more than anything to go back to how we were. I wished it were possible to erase my mistakes like someone who erases words from the pages of life, but even an eraser leaves traces, and often it even tears the paper. So at this moment, all I could hope for was that my mistakes wouldn’t completely destroy us.“I don’t know,” I confessed, feeling lost. Daon closed his eyes, squeezing them shut as if my words had hurt him, so I continued.“But I really want to try!” I affirmed, and he looked at me, seeming surprised, while I stood up from my chair and went to him, sitting on his lap, with one leg on each side of his body.Our eyes didn’t leave each other’s for even a second, and he seemed surprised by my gesture, since I had been avoiding him lately. I took my hand to the hem of his shirt, gently pulling it up, and he raised his arms, making my task easier. I slid his shirt off his body, revealing his defined abdom
Jane Point of View.The way Jayden's eyes went from expectation to complete disappointment broke my heart, but I knew I couldn’t keep playing this game, especially now that there were more players on the field. I needed to push him away at any cost. Now that my past had found me, I could no longer live in the present, and I knew I’d have to give up the person I loved most to protect him."I can explain what happened to Hanna!" Jayden stammered, and I sighed, shaking my head with a half-smile."It doesn’t matter anymore, Jayden," I assured him, trying to hide how much I wished there really was an explanation, but there was no way to unsee everything I had seen that day."I only did that because I knew you were doing the same with Daon," Jayden argued, and I let out a sarcastic laugh."Really, you knew?" I asked, rolling my eyes and looking away before I broke down. "Good that you knew! Now, if you’ll excuse me, my students are waiting," I said curtly.He was speechless, and I took the
My hands were trembling as I grabbed the phone from Maryna's hand and quickly searched for Daon's number. My heart raced, and I felt a chill in my stomach that made me desperate, even though my body was burning. With each ring, my heart seemed to stop, and when I finally heard my husband's voice, I broke down."Love, where are you?" I asked, stammering in desperation."Love, I don't want you to worry, but something strange happened," Daon said, apprehensive at the other end of the line.I could sense the concern in his voice, and he sighed deeply before continuing."I'm at Mix. Someone vandalized my car that the insurance company had delivered here to the company after the accident. They called me, and I had to come here," Daon explained, and his words hit me, making my knees buckle as I realized there was only one person who could have done this.Bobby, it had to be him."But are you okay?" I asked, whimpering, wanting to escape to a place where my past would only hurt me."Yes, love
The last thing I wanted was to see the two of them fighting. I didn’t understand why all of this was happening today of all days. They stared at each other as if they were about to kill each other, and if that happened, I didn’t know how I’d separate them. As soon as Daon saw the marks on my neck, he seemed to grow suspicious of Jayden, and I couldn’t understand why he was acting that way. So, to try to avoid a fight, I positioned myself between them and looked at Daon, trying to draw his attention to me.“What are you implying, Daon?” I asked, challenging him, and his gaze wavered uncertainly between me and Jayden, who stood there with his tattooed fists clenched.“I just find this story really strange! You’re ‘attacked,’ and coincidentally, Jayden was there,” Daon muttered in a sarcastic tone, as if insinuating something.“He wasn’t there! I was attacked, and when the assailant was about to take me away, Maryna jumped on his neck and almost tore off his ear!” I explained, irritated.
Jane Point of View.Part of me wanted to run into Jayden’s arms, and another part knew I could never do that again because we were doomed. The sound of Jessi clapping, celebrating the reunion of the couple that should never have broken up, snapped me out of my trance, and I sighed as I saw a police officer approach, whispering something in Daon’s ear, who looked at me anxiously.“I’ll finish my statement and sign some papers,” my husband explained, and I nodded.He looked at his best friend before leaving, and Jayden seemed as confused as I was. Simon and Maryna were so wrapped up in each other that when I noticed, they were stumbling and bumping into me.“For God's sake, get a room!” Jayden demanded, huffing in irritation.“Yeah, have some compassion for the singles!” Jessi grumbled in her always loud voice.“Now, besides everything, there’s no respect left in this company,” Hanna muttered, and even wrapped in the arms of the man she loved, Maryna couldn’t let it slide.“Who are you
We stared at Simon in anticipation, my heart almost jumping out of my chest. Had they discovered Bobby’s identity? Had he done something else? Time seemed to stand still as I stared at him, terrified, unable even to breathe.“I just wanted to say I’m heading home, and since I don’t know if I’ll survive this woman, I’m letting you know. If I don’t show up tomorrow, search for my dehydrated body with too much pleasure.” Simon said, his first words serious before laughing, and I finally exhaled in relief. Jayden, noticing my distress, huffed irritably.“Get out of here, you fool! Go have sex and leave me alone! By the way, where’s Maryna? Did you leave her alone?” Jayden asked, worried.Simon’s eyes widened as if he just realized what he had done, and before he could respond, we heard a loud scream echoing down the hallway.“Help! Someone help me!” A female voice pleaded.When we opened the door, we were met with the sight of Maryna dragging Hanna by the hair down the Mix corridors.“Let
Every time I heard the doorbell ring, I almost lost my mind. I didn’t know what to do, and if I knew Bobby well, he’d find a way to get in. Desperate, I grabbed my phone and dialed Jayden’s number, but I simply couldn’t complete the call. I couldn’t involve him in this, this was my problem, and I had to deal with it on my own. Suddenly, my phone started ringing, and I saw an unknown number on the screen. Panic surged through me, and the tears fell even more frequently down my face. My voice cracked from crying as I mustered all my strength to answer the phone."Hello?" I stammered, my voice trembling.I held my breath, waiting to hear the voice that haunted all my worst nightmares, but there was no reply. Then, I heard the sound of someone entering the code into the door lock, and I panicked. My God, how did he find out the code? He’s going to get in. He’s going to kill me. I held my breath and felt my legs give way as I heard the door unlocking. Just as I thought of screaming, I saw
His threat makes me stop fighting immediately, and tears start rolling down my face. He takes me to the back of the gym, and from where we are, he keeps watch until I see Jayden approaching the car, looking around in confusion, searching for me. I began crying even harder, and when Bobby removed his hand from my mouth, I thought about screaming, but then I saw him pull a gun from his pocket and aim it at Jayden.“If you make a sound, I’ll shoot,” Bobby whispered.I panicked and covered my mouth with my hands so Jayden wouldn’t hear my sobs.“If you want your lover to live, you’ll come with me now!” Bobby demanded.He turned me to face him, and my entire body trembled as desperation took over me. I glanced back at Jayden, and even though I knew that if I went with Bobby, I’d never see him again, I was willing to do anything to save him. So, I took one last look at the man I loved and nodded.“Okay, take me. Do whatever you want with me, but please don’t hurt him!” I begged desperately.
