DanaI drove back to the restaurant with a pit in my stomach. I felt awful about what happened.Today, I didn't feel like getting married or having a family dinner where I couldn't invite my own family because they weren't in town. Rachel should have consulted me better, but she didn't care. But the cherry on top was the ordeal we had to go through with Dana.Dana was right: Rachel was going to blow her top when she saw me. She would blame me for what happened, but it was due to the irresponsibility and immaturity of her and her family. This wasn't how I intended to spend our first night as husband and wife, but I suspected I would be heading to a hotel.My wife's family was at my house. They were the guests and wouldn't be leaving for a few days. Their house had to be ready first. I needed privacy to think things through. I know I'm in no position to believe I'm any saint because I'm far from it. But I was disappointed in how Rachel acted.I entered the restaurant, and my eyes fixed
DemianThe decision to secretly marry Rachel was hers. She woke up in the morning and told her father to urgently get us a date for the civil wedding. She didn’t even consult me. It was her decision, and she didn’t care about what I wanted.Rachel has always been a person interested in superficial things. She loved luxurious and expensive weddings, wearing a wedding dress with high heels. When we talked about getting married months ago, Rachel assured me she wanted a wedding that she liked, and I agreed. I don’t know why she suddenly became so desperate to get married. We had agreed to take our time to organize everything.I couldn’t even decide. I had to do what Rachel said. Rachel noticed my annoyance but didn’t give it much importance. I didn’t want to argue with her because I didn’t want to hurt her feelings. Her negative emotions could affect our child and her high-risk pregnancy.The civil registry awaited us in the afternoon. My father-in-law organized a dinner at a fine resta
DemianIt hurt to leave Rachel crying on the sidewalk, but neither of us was in the right frame of mind to have this conversation. We were both overwhelmed by our emotions.I drove aimlessly, my head a mess. I didn’t realize I had taken the road back to her house until my car stopped a few meters from Dana's home. The lights were off. I had an uncontrollable urge to see her again.I had no choice but to climb through the window. It wasn’t difficult for a werewolf like me. In my mind, I imagined Dana and me eating together in bed while watching something. Maybe she needed a good meal with some company. There might be things I never thought I’d see in Dana, but we lived together for years, so I knew her a bit: I knew Dana wasn’t feeling well, so I came to rescue her.I planned to order food for both of us. In fact, a smile planted itself on my face as I imagined us together. There was no other place I wanted to be. But when I approached the window, I saw something that caused a pang in
DanaJeremy and I returned to our house.Our house was beautiful, but I didn't feel like I belonged there. These days with my mother, I have felt more calm and comfortable, but I had to return to normal my life.Demian called in the afternoon to let me know he would pick me up in a few hours. He said we had to go to a special place. When I asked for more details, Demian told me that Demian had found a real tarot reader to talk to me. He assured me she is one of the best tarot readers in the country. She would tell me my fortune.Jeremy got ready to accompany me because he wasn't going to leave me alone with Demian.The time to leave arrived, and Demian was punctual at my doorstep. I didn't get to open the door, but Jeremy did.I came down the stairs and saw Jeremy and Demian looking at each other without saying a word. They loved to create a new conflict every time they saw each other.They noticed my presence. Jeremy smiled at me and drew me closer. He kissed me on the cheek.I guess
DanaDemian and I entered Amanda's house. Inside, it was as cozy as it was outside. Amanda led us to a special room for the tarot session. I learned she had also been a witch for over twenty years.The room had the scent of incense, which I liked, but the strong smell was overwhelming my nostrils and making me nauseous. The woman noticed and moved it away from me.“Sorry, dear. I need the incense for the reading. It’s another symbol of protection for me and the spaces.”I nervously played with my fingers. Demian unexpectedly took my hand and squeezed it. My eyes met his, and he gave me a reassuring smile. I don’t know how he did it, but Demian managed to calm me. I enjoyed the feel of his touch on my hand. My body still craved his touch all the time, and it was ecstatic when he touched me.“As I understand it, someone else has read the cards for you, and that’s where you discovered how real the curse is, right?” she asked. I nodded, and she smiled.“It’s a bit silly to think that I di
DemianThings weren't going well between Rachel and me.Who would have thought our problems would start after we got married?During the months we had a beautiful and passionate relationship, but once we married, the problems began. Rachel was a complicated and immature person. I hadn't realized that before. Or maybe I did, but my emotions of anger and resentment made me believe that Rachel was the perfect woman for me, and now I see she isn't. We had stupid arguments all the time, but it might have to do with what happened with Dana the other night.I returned home because my son wouldn't stop crying for me to come back, but I told Rachel we wouldn't sleep in the same bed until she apologized to Dana. It was also an excuse not to sleep with her, as ever since I realized how confused I was, I felt repulsed sleeping next to her.I haven't been doing things right. For a long time, I thought my life was on track because I had pushed Dana out of it, but now my heart kept calling Dana back
DanaAmanda had brought to light a secret I had hidden from Demian due to Rachel's threats.After the humiliation they put me through at the wedding dinner, I felt the need to tell Demian what that damn witch of a wife of his did to me when we divorced. But I couldn't say it or the real consequences of opening my mouth would hit me in the face.Demian looked at me expectantly, waiting for me to give Amanda an answer, but I had to lie. I couldn't expose Rachel, no matter how much the desire burned within me. Demian noticed my nervousness, but if he cornered me later, I would keep denying everything. However, I would have liked to be alone with Amanda to tell her the truth about Demian's wife. A woman-to-woman conversation.I think Amanda saw something in my eyes, but she didn't ask more questions."So you're saying someone might kidnap her in the future? Who would want to kidnap Dana? She has no enemies."I would love to see Demian's face if he knew he sleeps with the enemy every night
DanaAmanda walked me to the exit and gave me a warm hug goodbye.Outside, Jeremy and Demian were waiting for me, both leaning against their respective cars with their arms crossed. I hoped they hadn't argued while I was inside."Remember to take care of yourself, Dana. Please. I'll see you next week, and I'll stay in touch to let you know what I've found out. Alright?" Amanda reminded me and gave me another hug."Thank you so much, Amanda. You've been very kind to me."I walked to the exit and over to Jeremy. I looked at Demian and smiled at him."Thanks for bringing me.""You shouldn't thank me. We haven't found any solution for this. We need to keep looking for alternatives.""Amanda will find out more. We can investigate on our own, but I want to keep seeing her. It did me good.""Did you good after all the things she said? That woman didn't tell us anything positive, Dana.""We need to have hope. I trust her, Demian. Respect that."Demian looked at me as if I were crazy. He pulle
