Trails Of A Broken Heart

“Zurich is so beautiful which is why it remains one of my top vacationing spot everytime. See how it's beautiful at night, imagine in the day? It is beyond magnificent.” Sharron declared, putting out her hands out and spinning in joy as we walked to the hotel room. I was about to tell her to be careful since she was on heels, but, she was so graceful on them that I watched in amazement. Don't get me wrong and assume that I was a klutz, it's just that these days I was clumsy that I have come to the conclusion that a huge part of my recent clumsiness comes with being around Ryan. He makes me nervous and jittery, as a result of that, I am constantly jumpy and never watching where I am headed. It's a whole cycle.

“Where did you learn to move like that?" I asked her as she moved her legs in a mesmerizing way turning with one leg and the other on her thighs.

She raised her hands in mock surrender and said, “Okay, you've caught on to my trick. Former ballerina here.”

    I Am Angry At You“You know I was a fool to like someone like that. We were never going to end up together. I was delusional and this,” I beat my chest a little too hardly causing a concerned look to cross my Listener's face, “This heartbreak I feel is a punishment for my being too greedy.” I told the bartender feeling a bit drowsy from consuming four shots of whiskey. Can it be safe to say that I was a light weight? “Are you sure you aren't drunk? You might want to turn in for the night. I'll soon be done here, so I can take you to your room. What's your room number?” He asked me.I waved him off and said, “Pfft, I am not drunk. Do I look drunk? Look at me,” I told him holding up two hands, “I am looking princess," He chuckled with amusement on his face.I wagged my finger at him and said, “Don't call me princess, it makes me feel weak. If I am a princess, I am Warrior princess Xena. Okay?" I told him in a slurred tone. I was feeling lightheaded, but not enough to not make coherent

    I Am Crazy About HerRyan's P.O.V“Yes, I am going to make her see reasons why we can actually end up together during this trip. I might not be able to feel things like other people, but I know I feel something strongly for her, though I don't know what it is yet. I would make her know that when it comes to being with me, she'll never have a reason to feel like she's alone.” I said to myself in my office as I waited for Violet to come so we can board the plane together.When she finally arrived and I heard her voice on the floor, she was talking to someone. She wasn't alone. Who could she be talking to that wasn't already here? I thought to myself.The door opened to reveal her looking as breathtaking as the day I saw her by the bar. In all honesty, the day after I met her, my memory was woozy because I was a bit drunk that day. But, I felt like a crucial memory of that night was missing. It wasn't until she stepped into the interview room that morning that it immediately hit me where

    I Don't Think I Could Survive Us Not Being Together Anymore RYAN'S P.O.V“You,” She yelled removing herself from my embrace. I was shocked at the sudden change of cute to aggressive, but then again, it was Violet, whenever was she predictable.“You made me so angry,” She declared before putting her head on the counter.“Sorry about that man. She's a bit in her feelings today. Apparently, I made her angry.” I told the bartender who was watching the exchange between both of us. I was certain that she had him entertained today with her antics and he wouldn't be forgetting her in a hurry.“Don't let her go man, she's the full package. I have chuckled and had a fun shift today because of her. Trust me, I am adverse to relationships, but for someone like her, I would consider it.” He told me with admiration shining in his eyes as he watched her laying her on the counter.“Don't I know it,” I said looking at her too. This was Violet we were talking about, quite unpredictable. Quick to smile

    When Someone Likes You Simply For YouRYAN'S P.O.V“You're so comfortable, even in my dreams. I must like you so much that holding you feels so real and I don't even hate it,” Violet said from her sleep. I looked up from my phone to where she had her hands wrapped around my waist and her head on my chest smiling contently in her sleep. I must have been delusional when I didn't see the clear signs that Violet also liked me too. But now, the closer I looked, the more I realized that all along, she's always liked me, I have just been too blind to see it or she kept it so hidden that I couldn't catch a whiff of it. But to see her hold me longingly now like her life depended on it made me warm in a lot of places.“I want to remain in my dreams because only then can I hold you as much as I want without feeling there is anything I need to do than liking you,” She held onto me and purred like a cat. Her smile was content, like she truly derived so much joy in holding me.I didn't say anything

    Why Are You So Scared? Ryan stared at me with amusement in his eyes as I began recollecting bits and pieces of last night. My time at the bar conversing with the Bartender like we were buddies, then the douchebag that tried to get me up to his room like I was a call girl. Even the time I covered my boobs from the bartender. I feel like I acted out of character and Ryan had a front row seat.What made me feel mortified was my memory was still in snatches, meaning I couldn't remember everything that happened last night. But, what I could remember already made me want to fall inside a hole and never come out.“I can't even look him in the eyes,” I muttered under my breath as I looked everywhere but his face. “Everyone has days that they get drunk and act out. Don't feel bad about it. Plus, you might never see the bartender again, then as for me, well let's just say it's me, you have nothing to be embarrassed about.” He said in a bid to offer me some consolation, but ruined it unknowing

    When It's Obvious He Cares Deeply For You“So, why are you coming out of his room?" She asked again, her eyes scanning me from my head down to my toes. I was grateful that I at least double knotted my robe as I was leaving his room, so, I wouldn't be so indecently dressed.“Ermmm...” I stuttered, unable to know where to begin in my narration.“Yeah, what's up?” She questioned, tapping her left foot slowly on the floor as her display of her impatience. This was what it meant to be under the fire. I could feel sweat forming in places I didn't even know I could sweat.Okay, Violet, get it together. Start narrating from the beginning is what my brain told me, and that was what my mouth did exactly.“So, I had some drinks, misplaced my keycard at the bar or someplace. Then, he happened to see me at the bar and brought me to his room,” I paused and took a deep breath. Now, it was time for the moment of throat. When I finally told her everything and ended up in her bad graces. Honestly, with

    I Want Nothing More Than To Be With Him“So, I would need you to do something crucial. In order to get to the root of this, I need to be incognito and act like I just joined the company recently. That way, I can get to see how things are being run here by the manager. Does that make sense?” Ryan asked me immediately we got into the car. He told me he was driving himself today My brow furrowed in confusion and I was struuggled with doing my seatbelt which he reached out and helped me with. I always craved Princess treatment underneath my tough girl exterior, but, to receive it without asking for it, was gold in itself.“I don't get what you are proposing here. Could you perhaps say it in clearer terms?" I asked politely.“So, when we get to the company, I would be on a nose mask and you will play your regular role, a P.A for Ryan Falcon who was sent to find out what exactly happened that led to the dismissal of the staff.

    He Treats Me Like A Princess“You talk a lot of shit for a manager. Don't you think you are far too rude to people you haven't seen before? You know her type? Who are You to assume that?” Ryan asked the shameless manager who was writhing in his tight hold in pain. Even though I felt intense satisfaction seeing him pay for telling me such nasty things, I knew that this wasn't the right route to go. We need to find out the details of what happened to the dismissed staff.“Ryan, it's okay. Please,” I pleaded with him holding his free hand and looking into his eyes, but he didn't look appeased. Instead, he looked – angry. Okay, what were these emotions I sometimes saw him displaying? This was way different from the Ryan I knew months back. Or was he educating himself more on emotions, enough to now know things that should make one angry? At this point, I couldn't tell anymore.“Your type just makes me wonder why the hell people like you exist and work in this company. My Dad just had to p

    He Was Always Mine To Begin With“Wait, was that Ryan?” Loraine's voice rang from the speaker as I stared at my husband's retreating figure. I wished he said something than looking at me with such disappointed eyes that made my heart break. “Huh-Uh.” I mumbled so that she wouldn't hear my strangled cry that threatened to escape my lips.“Oh my goodness! This is bad. Really bad! He wasn't supposed to hear like that. Where is he?” She asked.“He just left. You know what? I'll call you back okay. I need time to...” I left my statement hanging, but what I needed to do was– cry my eyes out.“Okay, no problem. And in case he is pissed at you for this, I would come clean and tell him I roped you into it.”“Bye.” I told her not able to muster anything more than that.When I hung up, that was when the reality of what just happened hit me. Ryan got to know what we've been keeping from him, but not through the way I would have preferred. He heard it per chance and that was not what I wanted. It

    How Could You Hide That From Me?One thing I didn't expect when I said ‘I do’ to Ryan was the turmoil and tons of secrets his family had. I didn't know how deep his father's hate for him ran, I didn't know that his step-mother I thought he was just needlessly antagonistic towards him was actually wolf in sheep's clothing, she was the spawn of Satan herself. Looking at his father and step-mother, I was amazed how they could raise such good kids with a good head on their shoulders. Must be the work of their grandparents.I was reminiscing what Loraine told me yesterday and I still couldn't come to terms with it.“Are you sure?” I asked her withdrawing my hands from hers in shock of what I just heard.“I am almost certain and over the years I am becoming certain that what I heard that night was true. I went out dead at night to drink water, when I heard them arguing in their room and their room door was ajar. I didn't hear parts of the argument, but what I heard loud and clear was when m

    And It Was The Most Beautiful Experience EverI felt his tip of his penis at the entrance of my Vagina, and I drew in a deep breath. I was finally doing it. Losing my virginity after twenty-five years, almost twenty-six years seeing as my birthday was in few weeks time. This point, it felt thrilling to finally have sex with the person I love with all my heart, and it also felt scary because I heard the first time hurts.His eyes looked hungry, but still he said, “We can still wait if you want to.”I smiled and kissed him softly on his lips. When I withdrew from the kiss, I said, “My problem is that you worry way too much. I am sure.”“Okay then.” He replied.He unwrapped my legs from his waist, and spread them apart. Then, he came closer, towering over me. He began penetrating slowly with the tip of his penis, it was at that point I winced in pain.I closed my eyes, but he said, “Hey, Mi Todo, look at me.” At his command, I opened my eyes and meet his mesmerizing ones.As he was penet

    No One Gets To Talk Bad About My Mom, Not On My Watch“Gr...Grandma?” Mrs. Gia sputtered, looking at I and Ryan in shock. My husband who I could see was also looking at me, trying to deduce if I knew what I was saying or if I was suffering from hallucination?“I am almost certain you are the one. I saw your postcard growing up with the name. I think it'll be rare for someone with the same three names to exist, too much of a coincidence? No?” I gave her a pointed look.Her features started changing as realization started sinking in that she just might be the right person.“Wait, are you Xavier and Juliet's child?” She asked mentioning the names of my parents.I nodded and she gasped, and staggered a bit. Holding the table next to her as a support. “It seems like you both have some catching up to do,” My husband said and pecked me lightly on my left cheek, before pointing at a corner, “I'll be over there in case you need anything,” Then in a whisper, he said, “Saying hello to pretenti

    Could She be My Grandma? “Are you okay Mi Todo? You have been frowning since we woke up.” My husband asked me as we boarded the private jet back to New York.So, here's the thing, last night as he was running a very high temperature, I tried to shake him so he could wake up, he didn't open his eyes. I am not going to lie, I basically went through the five stages of grief thinking he had gone into shock. I ran downstairs in tears, down three floors to tell the receptionist that I think my husband is dying, then we went upstairs to check, on our way to I and Ryan's room, she informed me she was an ER nurse and was covering for her cousin who works here that had a family emergency. That made me a bit more calm and when we got upstairs, she checked his temperature which had reduced drastically by the way. She said it was probably stress and he'll be fine for morning.It was at that point my dearest husband decided to open his eyes, “Mi Todo, why aren't you by my side?” In a weak, cute vo

    I Had Never Seen Him Cry“Okay, we don't speak for some days and next thing I know is my close friend and roommate has gotten married to a billionaire in a ‘low-profile’ ceremony in Vegas? She didn't see the need to say something like ‘Hey guys, I know you might be busy with life, but I am getting married?’ V, I have to say this is ludicrous and I am still trying to comprehend it?” Rainie said.I slowly disentangled myself from my husband arms, there was barely a moment we were in bed together and we weren't cuddling. It was an extreme sport, but I finally succeeded without waking him up.I tiptoed to the bathroom and continued my call with my friends.“Firstly, guys, I know no matter what I explain, it would never be a reasonable excuse why I didn't tell you both earlier. I am really sorry and truly everything happened so quickly, that before I could understand what was happening, we were married.” I explained to them hoping that it would soothe the rage I could see in their eyes.“I

    I Said Yes To Eternity.“So, I got an Elvis Presley Chapel booked for the wedding tomorrow. Do you want to maybe go dress shopping today?” Ryan asked me as we lay on the bed ticking off things we needed for our wedding tomorrow. I was getting married tomorrow? It still felt surreal that hours back I said a yes to his proposal. I wanted to tell my friends, but in all honesty, I still felt like i needed a minute to understand the huge step I was taking tomorrow. I'll probably call them in the morning before I leave to the Chapel and tell them of my bold step and get their blessings. The truth was we actually just wanted to have something small. This was more of a promise to ourselves, than an actual wedding. “With the speed at which you are doing all these things, you were certain I was going to say yes, right? You probably had the contract or something?” I teased him. He was indeed moving with speed that it made me a tad bit suspicious that he just started this arrangement. I suspecte

    I Must Be CrazyI burst into laughter, placing my ice cream sandwich on the empty space by my side which was already melting in my hands and making it sticky. Of all the jokes that my boyfriend has attempted to make, this was by far the funniest.“Oh, my goodness. That was such a funny joke. You are getting the hang of this emotions thing.” I hit his chest lightly with traces of laughter on my lips and attempted to pick up my ice-cream sandwich again. Vegas must be getting to him for him to play this kind of joke. I heard that being in Vegas often makes one act out of the ordinary. Coupled with the fact that he was still getting a hang of these emotions thing. He must be like a kid at an ice-cream parlour for the first time wanting to try out all the flavors.“I am not joking.” He said. I was about taking a bite of my ice-cream sandwich which half was already melted by the way when his voice stopped me short.“A prank, maybe?” I asked with hopeful eyes in light that though this might

Whatever impending make out session suspended till when he might be able to deduce what had happened or is happening to turn out to be a problem.“Yes, it's Dad.” She said and I could hear the fear in her voice.At that point Ryan removed the phone from speaker and told his sister, “Give me a minute.” Then he turned to me and said, “Give me a moment, let me know what the problem is.”“No problem, take your time.” I said, managing a smile. The truth was that Ryan's father annoyed me and that is not because of the time he hit on me in Ryan's office, which was quite shameless of him by the way. But, the reason why he annoyed me to no end was because he didn't support Ryan as the CEO, and rather than just mind his flipping business, he found more ways to make Ryan's life incessantly difficult. From riling up the press against Ryan to finding ways to siphon money and frame Ryan for being an incompetent CEO. My boyfriend, God bless his h
