Reckless Love Chapter 77: One last prayer
Ask, and it will be given to you.Knock, it will be open for you.And seek, you will find it.~~~~~~~~~~~~The morning strikes on the sheer curtain, but not the shimmering lights; instead, the roaring clouds brought the brisk water pouring on the windowpanes. Ruben fluttered his eyes and welcomed the gloomy weather flaring its arms outside the window. The splattering of water scrubbed everything and made him ponder to look in the direction where his eyes always used to find Arlet.But she was not there, nor was the residual of her presence. Her bed was made, and cushions were arranged perfectly on it. Ruben stroked his face down through his hands and heaved a low breath. His side of the bed was cold, but it felt barren today when she decided to get up and suffer alone in her despair. His feet unintentionally made their way toward the couch, and his hand extended to clutch a cushion.Her fragrance still lingers on it, questioning why he didn’t respond to her back. He was scared to argu
Reckless Love Chapter 78: Simply love
He loves her… she loves him…But the story is not simple to understand.~~~~~~~~~~~~The gloomy clouds stopped pouring the water and let those little shimmering lights pass through them. The soil seemed to its richest tone, having bathed in the rain, and the little puddle built its own reservoir to hold the habitat of tiny creatures.“Mommy, it stopped raining. Can we go out?” Raya loomed over the window, intently looking towards the Gazebo they used to sit in and enjoy the view. Raya turned, and a smile knitted on her frown face, watching her mom was ready to spend time with her with canvas and colors.“Wow, we will paint,” her applause resonated in the room, followed by a chuckle. Ruben saw Arlet was trying to ignore his presence. And why wouldn’t she? He has done nothing good to her. He stood there watching these beautiful girls wandering towards Gazebo through a gravel pathway. His eyes are fixated on Arlet, who is trying to get rid of his lingering eyesight as far as possible.“M
Reckless Love Chapter 79: Stabbed
He trusted him, but his actions speak more than his words.~~~~~~~~`Meetings after the meeting, Ruben got invested for the entire day. The evening comes earlier than expected. There was no such news from the kidnappers, but it somehow excites Ruben to see how Arlet and his relationship took recent turns after this incident. Thanks to Brayan, who pushed Ruben to pursue his feelings, but they also needed to talk to Miles. Glancing at the laptop screen, Ruben saw the time for the third time in the last few moments.“Is everything alright with him?” With a slight frown, he questioned Brayan, who was busy arranging the documents. Brayan looked up to answer his terms, but his eyes landed on the ajar door where Miles was about to step in.“We have to talk to him after this,” Ruben looked over his shoulder and watched Miles entering with a vague demeanor.“Hey, Miles, how’s everything?” he dropped his shoulder and, with arched brows, skipped Ruben’s concern and answered Brayan.“Can we finis
Reckless Love Chapter 80: His kind of love
His kind of love surfaced when she challenged everything that existed beneath his heart, and not letting him breathe.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~His side of the bed was cold as if there was no proprietor of that place. He is married yet isolated on the bed. His eyes hovered over the silent frame, tossing here and there over the couch. She didn’t utter a word for the entire ride, but something in her throwing implied the trouble she was handling in those moments. He saw how her breath hitched when she saw him. Putting a face over her fear was not easy, but knowing it was a man she knew was the most hurtful thing. There was anger, but the detriment of broken trust sailed in her eyes when she found out it was Miles. When Milo declared the reason, he wanted to punish Miles, Ruben saw the utter state of shock well written on her face.The man himself never treated her as a wife, so how can others will give her the same respect she deserves?The moments had passed when she slept, leaving him cold, su
Reckless Love Chapter 81: One sided love
It hurts when you see the person you are in love with will never look at you the way you did.~~~~~~~~~~No matter she had attended several trips with her parents, this was a strange journey ahead with a man she barely knew anything about.The bags had been loaded, and he was standing at the door waiting for her. Arlet stepped closer to Magda and hugged her.“I am going to miss you,” Magda’s warmth comforted her like a mother, and never missed to make her feel at home. Without Raya, this house seems desolate. She had an uneasy feeling settling down on her chest; she had been alone with Ruben in his room, but being on the trip with him would be a new fable to discover. This was the first time they would be out as a couple in front of this world, and it challenged the cacoon of comfort she had developed between these walls. She was not afraid, but felt pity for herself. His powerful presence beside her will draw people’s attention, but it would be hard for her to deny the question comi
Reckless Love Chapter 82: Restless
He just dipped the toes in the water of love while she bathed in it, waiting for him.~~~~~~~~~~~The journey was quiet, and they barely exchanged words between them. He was lost in gazing at her when she managed to see outside and appreciate the beauty of Aspen. The mountaintop was blanketed with snow, and the spring barely sprinkled its way over the vivid blooms. The zeal of sunlight could not melt the ice, but it gave the hint of warmth this spring can rely upon.Like a bibliophile, he had become addicted to reading every emotion on her face, but today his ear heard the words he never expected-One sided love.The plane landed smoothly, and they made their way out of the aircraft when the Aspen air stroked her curls and cheeks, and she found the heat under her shrug. He slipped off his jacket and placed it over her shoulder without meeting her eyes, making her wonder why he cared when he was upset with her.“Thank you, but aren’t you feeling cold?”“I don’t want you to get sick,” he

Because if you believe, I still want you.~~~~~~~~~~~~The ballroom was adorned with sparkling chandeliers, cascading drapes, and beautifully set tables, creating an ambiance of elegance and romance. Arlet glanced over at Ruben, noticing the calm expression on his face. His eyes scanned the room intently, looking for the people he came to meet and taking in the sights and sounds of the lively gathering.His reassuring presence offered her a sense of comfort amidst her jitters. Butterfly still hovering in her core, thinking of that unexpected kiss on her cheeks. His gentle press on her lower back gave the volume of assurance and support she needed at that time. His presence soothed her that they were in this together, and she took a deep breath, drawing strength from his unwavering support. They stepped inside the ballroom filled with laughter, chats, and melodious music hovering in the air.Her eyes darted around the room, feeling a mix of admiration

A sense of gratitude washed over him as he realized how profoundly she had transformed his life.Once consumed by a deep-rooted hatred, his heart had undergone a remarkable transformation. The journey from loathing to falling deeply in love with the very same woman had been nothing short of extraordinary. It was a testament to the unpredictable and mysterious nature of human emotions.

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.

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.

“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.

“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.

It feels so good to have you close to my heart.”Arlet felt perplexed by his words, unsure of how to respond.

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.

However, she couldn’t think of anywhere else that could provide the solace and comfort she desperately sought.
