Ondina

The weather was warm and light wind made it feel a bit chilly. As she walked to the subway station, she started to regret her outfit choice. She held her jacket closed and walked quickly down the stairs and made her way to her rout section. Boarding the sub, she relaxed a bit into the consistent warmed and then tensed up immediately when more people got on and cluttered the area she chose to sit.

The entire ride there was packed. At one point, when some got off and more got on, Ondina got front row tickets to see "the mighty ninja spider". He literally called himself that. You can't make this shit up. He did all kinds of flips and spins on the bars along the roof of the sub and the poles in between. Some cheered and others yelled but Ondina just watched quietly, waiting on her stop so that she could get out of there.

Finally off the subway, Ondina made her way out and up the stairs; walking the rest of the way to her destination. Finally she stood directly in front of the b

    Ondina"Ondina." His soothing deep voice filled the room. Her heart and stomach jumped at the same time. He was standing at the far left corner of his office. She hadn't noticed the door that sat there before. He began to walk in her direction. His eyes looked cool and relaxed. His face was just as beautiful as she remembered but there was a different look to him. One she had never seen before. He looked... defeated? "Hey... I got your texts." Ondina started nervously. She was gonna say something else but by the look on his face she could tell that he was getting upset. Suddenly feeling exposed, she hugged herself trying to bring in some security. "So, you've read them?" His voice sounded flat. Ondina opened her mouth to respond but quickly closed it when he continued. "You've read them and you chose not to respond?" He looked at her expectantly. "Well...Um... I- I didn't know what to say." Ondina came all this way to talk to him but now with him in front of her and clearly upset

    Ondina"I don't know what's wrong with me, but what I do know is that I love you." His eyes showed visible relief. His hand slid down her side and rested on her hip. She ignored the warmth that began to build between her legs. "I want to get better at communication. For you." Ondina needed him to understand her. She needed to know that he understood that she didn't mean she wanted to forget him. Raphael rested his free hand against her other hip and pulled her closer. "We can work on that." He leaned down moving closer to her face and looked directly at her. "Just don't disappear again." Desparation quickly returning to his eyes. Ondinas arms wrapped around his neck. "I promise." She stated. Unable to resist the temptation, she pressed her lips against his. Her heart bursted with passion and the heat between her legs throbbed. Raphael hands slid over her ass before he lifted her. He moaned into her mouth when his hand grazed her pantie line and she wraps her legs around him.

    Raphael We were laying tangled into each other on the couch in my office. Luckily my employees were notified not to disturb me for the next hour. It would have been a bit awkward if someone had walked in on round two. My little flower is definitely getting craftier with her tongue. A smile danced across my face at the memory. She rested her head on my chest as I gently stroked her hair."Little flower." I spoke softly with my lips pressed against her head. She snuggled closer into me."Although I would love to stay like this, we have to get dressed." I pressed my lips into her hair one more time before I released her.Once we were fully clothed, I called down to Christine and let her know that I was done for the day. "Hungry?" I asked with my hand extended to her."Starving." She smiled up at me sweetly as she laced her fingers with mine. ***Ondina Back at the penthouse, Ondina sat on a stool resting

    Ondina"I would love to but it's late and have work in the morning." Ondina replied. "How about you just stay the night here and I take you to work?" "I don't have my uniform here..." "Don't worry about that. I can send for it." Before she could protest again, he was already on the phone with his driver giving orders."Problem solved." She blushed."What will I sleep in?" A darkness flashed in his eyes, causing Ondina’s heart to skipped a beat.A smirk pulled at the corners of his lips. He stalked slowly towards her. This man is just too sexy. She thought as warmth creeped between her thighs for the millionth time today. He gently pulled her close against him and inhaled her scent before he placed a soft kiss to the top of her head. "Let's watch that movie, love." He spoke softly before he released her. *Ondina They stood in the doorway of what looked like-"You have a mini movie theater?" Ondina blur

    Mason"I don't give a damn!" My father practically screamed at the top of his lungs. His face crunching up, adding more lines to his already wrinkled face. "You better figure out a way to get us back that contract, or so help me!" He slammed his fist against his office desk. It had been a little over a month since that bastard attacked me. How the hell did he expect me to do that? That asshole fractured my face! I had to get two teeth replaced, and he expected me to go and what? Apologize? Why should I? I did nothing wrong. It was all that bitches fault! What was she even doing there? And what the fuck was her problem? It's almost like she’s out to get me. Like it wasn't enough that she tried to lie on me as teenagers? She didn't have to lie just because her parents found out we had sex. I even accepted that bitches apology for trying to ruin my life back then, and now this? She was the one acting all dramatic! I don't even know why he attacked me to begin with! It's unfair! I did no

    Raphael This past month has been amazing. Even with work being busy, I still managed to make time for Ondina every day. I would take my lunch at the diner just to see her and most nights she stayed with me. It felt amazing to wake up next to her beautiful sleeping face. It even became a regular thing to see her friend lounging around as well. "You know, you might as well move in." I said as I slipped into my pants. Ondina looked at me through sleepy eyes, now sitting up in the bed."That doesn't sound too bad, I just might." She stretched out her arms and yawned. My heart fluttered at the idea. She has no idea how much I meant it. I reached into my closet grabbing a white button up and putting it on. "I'm gonna be gone late today. I have a lot of meetings so I might not be able to see you tonight." After I was fully dressed, I walked over to the bed and gently pressed my lips to hers. She moaned softly into my mouth as her arms wrapped around my neck."You sure you can't stay for a

    RaphaelAs I walked into the luxurious café, I couldn't help but feel a sense of discomfort wash over me. "Hello, welcome to cafe Haven! Do you have a reservation?" The hostess asked me as I approached her."Yes, Raphael Lahsen, Thank you." She looked over a list of names on a tablet. Once she found what she was looking for, she smiled politely."Right this way, Mr. Lahsen." With a menu in hand, she guided me to a table off to the side. A large window sat beside it with a beautiful view of a garden with a tiny pond.Mrs. Delory was already seated at the table. Once she noticed me, she stood on her feet and gently un bunched her dress. Just get it over with. Taking a deep breath, I smiled and made my way over to her. "It's always a pleasure to see you, Mr. Lahsen." She stated as she walked towards me. To not much of a surprise, she threw her arms around me, embracing me. Her flirtatious nature and constant need for physical contact made me uneasy, but I couldn't afford to offend her

    CelesteI couldn't believe it! My father, who had always given me everything I wanted, had allowed Raphael to break off our engagement. I was fuming with anger and disappointment. How could he do this to me? I sat in the living room, my heart racing as I tried to process the news. Raphael was the love of my life, and we were set to get married since we were small children and now, he is just gonna back out? I had been patient and let him fool around for years. I didn't put up a fuss and now all of a sudden, he called it off and now everything was falling apart. I looked at my father, who was sitting across from me. He was a wealthy businessman, and I was his only daughter. He had always spoiled me, and I knew he would do anything to make me happy. But this time, he had failed me."Daddy, how could you let this happen? You know how much Raphael means to me," I cried out, my voice trembling with anger. My father sighed, his face showing a hint of guilt. "I'm sorry, sweetie. I tried t

    Five years later...I woke up to the ringing of an alarm clock. Like always, it was Ondina's. She had a million of them set for every ten minutes. What for? I had no idea, but today, it wasn't just an annoyance. It was a painful reminder of the chaos that was about to erupt. Fire year old twins were a force of nature. The ringing of the alarm grew louder. I groaned, reaching for the snooze button, but a gentle hand stopped me. "Don't even think about it," Ondina murmured, her voice laced with a sleepy smile. "The monsters will be here any minute."I still couldn't believe I was married to a woman so beautiful. Her dark hair was a tangled mess against the silk pillow and her eyes were still heavy with sleep, but the warmth radiating from her was undeniable. She was, indeed, my everything, and now, carrying our third child, she possessed a radiant glow that made my heart ache with a love so strong it sometimes felt like a physical weight."Monsters?" I teased, pulling her closer. "I

    RaphaelI was just finishing up paperwork she my office door opened and in walked Celeste. She swung her hips a little too hard and she smelled of expensive perfume."Raphy, darling," she purred, the word sounding like a hiss on her tongue. "So good of you to see me.""Celeste," I replied.I was already annoyed and just wanted together this over with. "I wasn't aware I had a choice. Your unannounced visit last night hardly left me one."She ignored the chairs and sat her ass on the edge of my desk. Her crimson lips curved into a practiced pout. "Oh, don't be like that, Raphy. I just wanted to see you. To catch up."My jaw tightened. "Catch up? By crashing into my home, heavily intoxicated, and physically assaulting my wife?"Her perfectly practiced pout faltered and was replaced by a flicker of annoyance. "Ondina was being dramatic. It was merely a little… disagreement with her.""A disagreement that involved you grabbing her hair and screaming about how she stole your life?" "He

    RaphaelThis could not be happening. Not tonight. Not when Ondina was finally happy. She lunged herself forward, trying to wrap her arms around my waist but I stiff armed her in the forehead."Celeste," I whispered."How did you find our- that doesn't matter." Trying to keep my voice calm I stated."You need to leave.""Leave?" she shrieked, Loud enough for the entire house to hear her. "Leave? After everything? After you promised me forever? You were supposed to be mine, Raphy!"Ondina appeared behind me, her face a mask of confusion and then, registration."How the fuck did you get here?" Ondina positioned herself between me and Celeste."Ondina!" Celeste shrieked again, pointing a wobbly finger in her face. "You! How does it feel living MY life?! I was supposed to be Mrs. Lahsen! I was supposed to live in this house! I was supposed to-" before she could continue, Ondina pushed her in the chest."Back up or I'll call the police!" Before Celeste could launch into another tirade, An

    Raphael"Are you sure we can pull this off, Raf?" she asked, her voice tight as she surveyed the mountain of unopened boxes in the living room."The movers have it all covered, my love. Don't stress. " I kissed her forehead."It's just, with it being the twins' birthday, and the family dinner... it's all happening so fast." I could understand why she would be overwhelmed.not only was the twins birthday, it was also moving day. I wrapped my arms around her, burying my face in her beautiful curls. "Hey, breathe. We've got this, little flower. I'm here, aren't I? And besides, you're forgetting the cater we hired." She chuckled, some of the tension left her shoulders. "you're right. I'm over reacting. I need to calm down.""Exactly! Now, tell me, what's priority number one?""Getting Cam and Camie's play area set up. If they're happy, we're all happy." We exchanged smiles.She was right. Those two could bring the the sky down on us if they weren't happy, but they were the best kind of

    MasonBreathing was becoming a task for me. Every breath hitched a ragged protest against the pain that I was feeling every day, but today... today was different. The air hung heavier. It was like I could feel my time running out. I knew. Today was the end, and Ondina words clung to my heart. "You're gonna die here, and no one will miss you." A sigh escaped my lips. I could tase the blood in my lungs. My vision was patchy and it burned to keep my eyes open. They had gotten used to the dark after months of being in it, but now, they were struggling against the glow of that one single bulb I hadn't know was there. Ondina forgot to turn it off and this was a new kind of torture.I was left here, visibly able to see just how far gone I was. In the dark, I couldn't see much detail of myself, but now, I could see everything. I was far from the man I used to be, and I had no one to blame but myself. Regret was a useless emotion now. A luxury I could no longer afford, but it was there and

    OndinaHis face was gaunt, his eyes sunken and hollow. His hair was longer and his facial hair was unkept, like he hadn't shaves in months. His clothes were worn and filthy, clinging to his sickly frame. He looked like he hadn't eaten in months. He was looking up at her, his eyes wide with a flicker of... 'was it hope?'Ondina took a step back when the memories crashed down on her like a tidal wave of horror and pain.She could remember the fear, the sting of the restraints cutting into her skin, and the relentless torment. She could remember his cruel laughters as he had enjoyed her suffering and how he mocked her as she cried. The memory that paralyzed her the most was his haunting groans of Camilles name as he repeated it over and over again while he used her body for his own gratification. She remembered the agonizing pain of premature labor and the fear for her unborn children as the darkness swallowed her whole. She remembered every single detail.He had taken everything from he

    OndinaThree days earlierAfter a sleepless night, Ondina watched as Anna cooed over the twins. "You're a lifesaver," Ondina said, forcing a smile. "I'll be back as soon as I can.""Take your time," Anna said, already distracted with a game of peek-a-boo. "They're in good hands."Ondina kissed each of her twins on the top of their heads she said her goodbyes. "Be good for Anna," she murmured, her voice thick with a mother's anxiousness."They'll be perfect angels, Onny, now shoo." Anna fanned Ondina towards the door.Ondina slipped out the door, her heart pounding in her chest. She drove carefully. Once she was on the highway, she pressed down on the accelerator. She was feeling every bit of anxious, but she needed answers. The drive was agonizing. Doubts gnawed at her. What if she was wrong? What if she was overreacting? But then she was flooded with the memory of the look on Raphael's face every time he told her he had a business trip, and her resolve hardened.Finally, she rea

    RaphaelAs I stepped onto the balcony, the crisp morning air caressed my face. Sunrise bled across the horizon, painting the building tops in hues of rose and gold. It was a beautiful day. A perfect day, almost.Inside, Ondina was stirring, the soft laughter of our twins, was already filling the air, letting us know they were awake. The thought of them tugged a smile onto my face. Two perfect, healthy babies. I was truly blessed. After everything, we were finally moving forward in a positive direction.I leaned against the metal railing, the cold was slowly creeping into my hoodie, but I barely noticed. My gaze began to drift towards the light traffic beneath me as my thought began to consume me. It's bee six months. Six months that we've had him. Six months of torture, and I still didn't feel the satisfaction I though I would.Thomas stepped beside me, his face looked strained. "Coffee's on," he muttered he lit a cigarette with a shaky hand."When did you get her?" I asked, pushing

    OndinaOndina stirred her tea as she stared aimlessly. Raphael's conversation with Thomas kept playing on repeat in Ondina's head. 'What is he hiding from me?' She felt desperate to know who was in that cabin, and why Raphael was so desperate to keep it secret that he would lie to her.Ondina knew Raphael wasn't always forthcoming, but this felt different. It felt deliberate, and it made her feel uncomfortable. Her gaze drifted to the two sleeping infants in their bassinets. Cameron looked so much like his father, and Camille was a miniature version of herself. They were the reason she needed to know. Their fragile, innocent lives deserved a foundation built on truth, not secrets.Taking a deep breath, Ondina reached for her phone. She scrolled through her contacts until she found Raphael's mother's number. She played out in her head what she wanted to ask, but had no idea how she should go about it. After a few minutes, she took a deep breath and dialed. after a few rings, his mother
