Reckless Love Epilogue
The morning sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a gentle glow in the room. Arlet slowly blinked her eyes open, her hand instinctively clenched in Ruben’s. She released a warm breath, her gaze meeting his as he looked down at her. Shyly, she lowered her eyes, but he gently lifted her chin to meet his gaze again.“What are you looking at?” she asked softly, her voice tinged with curiosity.Ruben’s eyes softened, a tender smile playing on his lips. “Nothing,” he replied, his voice filled with wonder. “I was just thinking about how incredibly lucky I am to have you in my life.”Arlet’s cheeks flushed with a mixture of emotions. “We’re not supposed to be like this,” she murmured, a hint of hesitation in her voice. The unexpected turn of events, from marriage to divorce and now sharing the same bed again, was not something they had anticipated. But Ruben’s unwavering gaze conveyed a different truth.“Why not?” he questioned, his voice filled with conviction.“Because... we

Fall in love... burn yourself for the one. If it's not love, it will be a lesson. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Arlet~Some incidents in life are so erratic that they could leave a person speechless. When my happy family met with an accident, it left me in a pool of loneliness and took my parents away. Not more than that, it also left me with an injured vocal cord, taking away my ability to talk.Nothing I would say mattered to the people or helped them to understand my condition, so I chose to shut myself down.Not that I can’t talk, but by the time my weak nerves came up with a single word, the other person would lose their patience. So I contended.It’s better not to speak when nobody is there to listen.It’s been five years since I lost my

Love doesn't knock.. it enters and burns you will hell fire. Burn it baby, even your ashes will call his name. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Arlet~Clad in a beige gown and minimal makeup, I skimmed my mirage. I was a plain-jane girl with long hair, an oval face, and not a towering personality like Riele, the model. The only thing I love in myself is my eyes.The day has come for me to box my feelings and drown them at the bottom of the ocean.How immature I thought I could fade in the crowd fraying this color, and nobody would attend to my existence. My long hazelnut hair comes from my mom; she was one of the most stunning women I had in my life. If she had been here, she would have scolded me for choosing this dress. Reile didn’t involve me as her bridesmaid, and I w

ALL I DESIRE WAS A LIFETIME WITH YOU... BUT WHY I FEEL LIKE I AM DECEIVING YOU? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ARLETHolding the sheer drapery, my eyes gazed at the man, who astonished my conscience. That little angel was his daughter. In which world is it possible? How can he be so secretive? My heart sank, peeking at that poor soul studying at the kids playing around. Anybody could understand how heartbreak she must have felt watching those kids. I could feel her pain.Ruben looked in our way, but the evening rays poured in fragments on the tinted window didn’t favor him to steal a glance at his beautiful bride.Besides, his jolted bride sauntered across the room, suppressing her advanced adrenaline.“What am I supposed to do now?” Reile yanked me back like I was the one who could drag her out of this position. It brought me back to the ambi

Nothing feels worse when the heart you craved the most will loathe you with all his being. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Arlet“The bride is ready.” These were the words I had wanted to hear for so long, but who knows, they would bleed my soul like never. I wanted to become his desire, but why was it felt like I was deceiving him?Looking down at my mirage in the mirror, I hated my existence.Just the way she chopped the length of this dress, she minced away my emotions and devotion to fall in love.The bridal ensemble was a signature of aspiration, and I could see how Reile loaded me with the burden. Her freedom will be my suffocation. Her choices will be my suffering.My teary eyes just wanted to ask her why she pushed me into this fire of facade. But then I remember it’s the deal with these devils. If someone has an axe to grind, they do someth

And there she was, loving him with every pour of her being, and he had become the continuum of unanswered prayers who didn’t know her name.~ARLET~````````````````````````````````````````Aghast, my senses benumbed, looking at the people. It didn’t take time for me to realize the reason behind his placidity. His parents seem delighted with happy tears. And the little girl clapped when she beamed towards me with expected eyes. They hadn’t seen Reile, and for them, I was the face of Ruben’s life partner. Momentarily, the paparazzi sealed the deal, exposing my face to this world as Ruben’s better half.But the way his friends read me with anxiousness, I knew I was headingtowards the unstoppable storm.We stepped down from the stage, and I quietly followed him. There was no smile on his face, just pure anger. We walked towards the car, and it was hard for me to pace his long strides with my sloppy wedges and ill-equipped dress, but I tried and stumbled when Milo grabbed me.“Arlet... wh

And what a beautiful hell it is when I don’t know the reason for my punishment and the suffering you gifted me.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ruben~Broken, shattered? No, a man was not supposed to feel these emotions. These things make him weak, and he implores for the things he wants to soothe his pain.Beggars cannot be choosers. This is what my father told me when I was a kid. Those words were engraved on my soul as if nothing else mattered, and I promised myself I would always want to be a chooser. Ruben Rodriguez never bowed his head and would never beg for anything.Some moments of your life would never allow you to have the upper hand, like my brother’s death. The only man I trusted with my life was him. He differed completely from me. He was my protector, my only rock to incline, and a soft-hearted man. But life has to happen. He fell in love with a beautiful woman and gifted me a beautiful niece, Raya.That little angel brought so much happiness into our life we never imag

Some souls need to be lost before they get shattered by the same hand.~ARLET~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The morning brings faith to our lives, and we should always embrace it wholeheartedly. There will be terrible nights, but the hope of dawn will keep you alive. This is what my mother advised me, and from that day, I used to thank God for every morning he showed me, pleasing or not, but it still has some hope.The dawn light sprayed through sheer curtains quietly knocked on my sealed peer, letting me open my visions and balance the cornea.The sight was not expected like my typical basement view, but an enormous living room with shattered vases pieces to the ground, an explicit reminder of my changed life.I got up and looked around. As envisioned, I was alone in the house.With a deliberate walk, I sat on the couch, unsure of what to do next.The door creaked open and thought to see Ruben navigate my mind, but Magda, the housekeeper, greeted my sight.“Hel

Reckless Love Chapter 111: Closure
Not just the silence, but his touch was enough to let her feel what is.~~~~~~~The entrance of the mansion felt like a familiar embrace, as if it welcomed Arlet back with open arms. She glanced around, the memories flooding back. It had been months since she last stepped foot in this house, and now, when she was ready to leave the country, it seemed to call her back. She held Ruben’s hand over her shoulder, supporting him as they walked inside. His touch still had the same effect on her, sending a rush of warmth through her body, just like it did on their first day together.“Careful,” she muttered, looking ahead as they stepped inside.Magda’s eyes widened as she took in Arlet and Ruben’s condition. She remained silent, but her heart swelled with emotions seeing Arlet by Ruben’s side, offering her support.Once Ruben was settled on his bed, Arlet busied herself, arranging the medicines and preparing a thermometer from the drawer. She knew every corner of the room, every little detai
Reckless Love Chapter 110: One more chaos
"Sometimes, the chaos that enters our lives also brings unexpected connections and hidden blessings."~~~~~~~~~Arlet stood at the airport, her bags packed and ready to leave. The weight of her suffering and her unresolved feelings for Ruben consumed her. As she called for an Uber to take her away, her heart felt heavy with the knowledge that she was running away from her own emotions.Every step she was taking wanted to ease itself. Everything inside her wanted to stop, turn and go back to him.“Arlet,” a familiar voice came to her voice, and when she turned, it was Milo, a friend who had always supported her through thick and thin. His voice was filled with concern.“You are running away from everything?”Tears welled up in her eyes as she nodded, unable to find the words to explain her actions.“Yes, I don’t think I have anything left here,” she added.Milo’s next words struck her like lightning.“Why don’t you accept the fact that you still love him?” he asked, his voice filled wi
Reckless Love Chapter 109: Leaving
“Can you tell me how you mastered the act of unloving me?” ~~~~~~~~As the days turned into weeks and the weeks stretched into months, Ruben found himself engulfed in desolate solitude. The absence of Arlet, the love he had lost, weighed heavily on his heart. Every passing moment seemed to amplify the void within him.Arlet, on the other hand, had taken small steps towards rebuilding her life. She had found solace and purpose in teaching swimming to children at a local school. It was a way for her to channel her love for the water and share her skills with others. But despite the outward appearance of strength, her heart still longed for Ruben, the one who had held such a significant place in her life. It was hard for her to keep him away from her heart, but she was struggling with that part.Every Friday, Arlet sought comfort and guidance in the peaceful embrace of the church. It became a ritual for her, a sacred refuge where she could find moments of respite from the turbulence of
Reckless Love Chapter 108: Empty
“As much as it hurts me to admit it, loving you was the most agonizing experience of my life.”~~~~~~~~~~~As they walked, Ruben snuggled his hand into hers, sending the vibes of shiver. The vibrant colors of blooming flowers, the gentle rustle of leaves, and the melodic twittering of birds enveloped them in nature’s embrace. Arlet’s steps became lighter, and a hint of serenity flickered across her face as the healing power of the natural world worked its magic on her broken soul.Ruben couldn’t help but gawk at her, his heart pouring with a mix of admiration and love. Seeing her face light up with a renewed sense of joy brought a glimmer of hope to his own wounded heart. After losing everything, she is the only part he wants to hold close to himself. The weight of their shared pain momentarily lifted as they immersed themselves in the beauty and tranquility surrounding them.“Would you like to have some popsicles?” As soon as they crossed the ice stand, he added, giving a gentle squ
Reckless Love Chapter 107: Solace
Take small steps forward, to navigate the path of healing together.~~~~~~~~~The morning brought a new beginning to their lives as Arlet found herself waking up to the comforting presence of Ruben, his strong hands still holding hers and her head nestled against his chest. She attempted to shift away, intending to create some distance, but the firm grip of his hands pulled her back into his embrace.“Please, don’t leave,” he whispered, his voice filled with a mix of vulnerability and longing. “Stay like this. It feels so good to have you close to my heart.”Arlet felt perplexed by his words, unsure of how to respond. She looked up, meeting his gaze, and found herself lost in those beautiful gray eyes she had always dreamed of looking into. There was a mixture of hope, affection, and a hint of apprehension in his expression.“Good morning,” he finally added, breaking the silence that hung between them. His voice carried a trace of uncertainty, as if he was unsure of how she would reac
Reckless Love Chapter 106: The remnants
Let me take care of you.~~~~~~~~~~The beeping of the machine reverberated in the silent room. Arlet’s eyes were closed while the nurse pushed the chart into the box. Since morning, they have kept a close look at her health.The weight of guilt bore heavily upon Ruben as he stood by her bedside, his hand firmly clasping hers. Each passing second felt like an eternity as he anxiously awaited any signs of improvement.Memories flooded his mind, each one a painful reminder of his past mistakes and the consequences they had brought upon him. He couldn’t forgive himself for the way he had treated Arlet, for the love he had failed to acknowledge until it was almost too late. Regret gnawed at his heart as he realized the magnitude of his actions and the depth of his own blindness. He had lost his brother, Raya, to his own foolishness, and now the woman who had loved him unconditionally was fighting for her own survival.The door creaked open, and the doctor walked into the room, holding a f
Reckless Love Chapter 105: Dawn of love
"In the pages of her journals, he found the unwritten chapters of their love story, revealing a truth he had been blind to: she had loved him since the dawn of her understanding of love."~~~~~~~~~~Ruben made his way out, but he knew it wouldn’t be easy to win her back. She was in complete denial, and he could feel the weight of her anger and hurt. The downpour intensified, soaking him as he stood outside, looking back at the closed door of the house. His lady was inside with their child, and he was left waiting outside, longing to be let in. She didn’t open the door, and he had no choice but to settle against his car and leave the place.Once he reached his own home, haunting memories of Raya and Arlet consumed him. He made his way to his room, where the emptiness echoed in the silence. He sat on the bed quietly, gazing out at the pouring rain, which mirrored the hurt within him. Rubbing his hand down his face, he was lost in his thoughts when his phone buzzed, displaying Reile’s nu
Reckless Love Chapter 104: Her rejection.
"I no longer yearn for the love you once held, for now, I mirror the indifference you once showed me."~~~~~~Arlet arrived at her parent’s house, a place that had remained closed for so long. However, she couldn’t think of anywhere else that could provide the solace and comfort she desperately sought. This house held a history of love and care in her life, and in her current state of despair, it seemed like the only refuge available to her.Grateful for her parents’ foresight and protection, even in their absence, she appreciated the inheritance they had left for her. The house and a substantial amount in her bank account served as a lifeline, offering a sense of security and stability amidst the turmoil of her shattered marriage.Unlocking the front door, memories flooded her mind, causing tears to well up in her eyes. She was instantly transported back to her childhood, remembering how special she had felt within the walls of this home. With her bag abandoned at the entrance, she s
