Both of them stood before me, both men whom I loved and my heart could not choose even if it wanted to. “You are mine” Alexander said, his eyes filled with longing and lust as he looked at me. “You have only ever belonged to me and you know it” Ethan said. The first drop of tears rolled down my face, how on earth did a woman love two men?

And don’t tell me nothing because I am sure you know I can tell when you have something on your mind” I said to her.“There is nothing wrong with me” she said as she avoided my eyes.“You ar

Chapter 85Alexander’s POVI had tried my hardest to stay away from Maria last night but it was impossible not when I felt her pain like it was my own, I had felt heart breaking with each breath I took and I had been left with no choice but to seek her out and I was glad I had gone to her, she had been in a terrible shape when I found her in her room, the maids had been more than willing to show me to her when I had asked where she was.Even now, as I sat here having breakfast with Ethan, I could feel the heaviness of her heart weighing heavily on mine.“You look like you have a lot on your mind” he said to me as he drank his coffee.“I do” was all I said to him.He nodded his head and said “Want to talk about it?”I turned to look at him and said “We are not there yet” He shrugged his shoulders and said “I know but it is creepy to have you staring into nothing with that expression on your face, it takes the fun out of breakfast”“Leave me alone Ethan, I am really not in the mood to
Chapter 84Maria’s POVI had been in my room on the floor on the same spot I had been when Ethan left earlier, I could not bring myself to move, I had like the worst sort of person as I had pleaded with him to spare my spare my murderous mother, I could see the pain in his eyes and still I had gone ahead to do it.There was no way I could ever face him again, not after I had broken his heart the way I did, why was it that I managed to ruin the lives of both he and his brother? I wondered if perhaps I was a curse or something like that.I had no right to care for both of them as I did now, I just brought pain and darkness into their lives.I heard footsteps approaching my room and I recognized them as that of my mother.She walked in and gave me a look that told me she was not pleased with my current state.“Why on earth are you sitting on the floor like that? Get up right now and put on some clothes for heaven’s sake” she snapped at me.“Leave me alone mother” I said weakly.“Stop bei

Chapter 82Alexander’s POVYesterday’s conversation with Dr. Carter had been weird and it took a while before I finally managed to force it out of my mind, it was weird, I could not remember an adult ever speaking to me in that manner before, I found myself pondering on what she had said, perhaps I would have turned out to be the merciful Xander, I might have been a very different man if my life had turned out a bit different.I was not a man that pondered on what could have been but yesterday, I thought not only about myself but Ethan and Maria as well, we had somehow gotten twisted in the games played by the ones older than we were, I wonder if maybe if we had all been left alone and our lives allowed to play out as it was supposed to, we definitely would not have been the fucked up individuals we all were today.We had all been affected one way or another by decisions that had been made for us.I raised the bottle of beer to my lips and took a long drag, I heard footsteps behind m
Chapter 81Maria’s POVI woke up to find Ethan sleeping on the bed beside me, his face looked calm and relaxed in his sleep, his golden hair had fallen over his face, shielding a bit of his face from my view, I reached out and brushed the hair away, my heart skipped a bit when my eyes rested on his face, he was beautiful, he looked like an angel, everything about him was always so calm and serene, I wondered how perfect he would have been if my mother had not ruined his life.I traced my fingertips over his jaw line, he was indeed very beautiful, his long lashes lined his eyes, his perfect nose and lips that sent butterflies floating into my stomach, I felt tears well up in my eyes, how was I ever going to face him, how was I going to tell him that my mother was responsible for his mother’s death and it was possible that she was responsible for the madness that was currently plaguing him.His eyelids suddenly fluttered open and I was met with those perfect blue eyes of his, his face i
Chapter 80Alexander’s POVIt was interesting to see how pale Sharon Sandoval had gotten all of a sudden, she looked like she did not want to be here at all, she reached for her purse and stood up.“I should be on my way now, I will be in touch” she said.“What is the hurry Sharon? Stick around for a bit, I will like to hear Dr. Carter’s opinion on your proposal” I said with a smirk on my face.She shot me a look that told me she wanted to bash my face in with her heels.“What are you trying to cook up again this time Sharon?” Dr. Carter asked.“What I do is no business of yours Emily, so mind your damn business” she snapped.“Don’t worry Dr. I will tell you all about it, have a seat” I said as I turned to Dr. Carter with a smile on my face.She took a seat, her glare pinned on Sharon Sandoval.“You must feel like you are in control of everything and that no one can do anything to you” She said to me as she took her seat again, she had a smile on her face but the smile was anything but
Chapter 79Alex’s POVI heard a knock on the door and did not even bother moving to answer it, my head was spinning on my shoulders, this was the last time I was listening to Sam, I should have known better than to go drinking with him last night, the jerk drank like a fish, I was pretty sure I would kill him the next time I saw him.I heard footsteps approaching my room and I was sure it was Agatha, I groaned and said “I am not receiving any visitors today Agatha, ask whoever it is to leave” “But Sir, the lady says she has something important to discuss with you” Agatha said.“I am sure she does, tell her whoever it is that I am sleeping and will be up till tomorrow” I said.“Don’t be such a lazy ass Alexander, you should get up already, it’s past noon” A very familiar voice.I rolled my eyes and said “And why are in my house Sharon?” I heard the click of her heeled shoes on the tiled floor as she walked into the room.“Madam you can’t come in here” Agatha was saying.“It’s okay Ag
Maria’s POVI felt a gentle caress against my cheek, it was warm and sent a flurry of sensations all over my body, I nestled into the big hand with a smile on my face.“What time is it? Why are you awake already?” I said without opening my eyes.“It’s still early, not time for you to wake up yet” I heard an unfamiliar voice whisper against my ear.Despite not knowing who the voice belonged to, it sent shivers running up and down my spine but my eyes also fluttered open at once.I was met with a face that could have easily the Greek God’s statue to shame, he was beautiful, he had a perfect jaw line and well cut nose and he had a mouth that just begged to be kissed and then there were his eyes that looked like pure glistening honey, they had me running my tongue over my lips.I had no idea who this stranger was but he was making me feel wonderful, sinful things just by the way he was looking at me.“Who are you?” I managed to ask, though the breathless quality of my voice had the handso...
