Chapter 12
Aunt Beth took complete charge of my life by feeding me every day and giving me the moral support I needed as I tried to plan for the future. But within a month of my parent's death I realized that I would have to come to terms with additional complications in life I could no longer avoid the obvious fact that my body was not functioning normally and could no longer be put down to shock or worry. I came to know that I was pregnant I was going to have Marc’s baby.
It was on Sunday morning that I finally told Aunt Beth what I wanted to do and my firm decision about the future. If Marc comes to know that I was going to have his child he would take me back not because he loves me but to satisfy his family's wish to have an heir.He definitely wouldn't consider me fit to take care of his child. I was pretty scared but then I finally thought about it that he would even take the child away from me and let his mother take care of it . I was going mad as it was not good at all if

After visiting the solicitor that afternoon I was really shocked and I came back home and went straight to Aunt Beth’s house. I was too shocked to show any kind of reaction at the lawyer's office. It's unbelievable, it really is. I told them I had told the lawyer that I thought he had made a big mistake but he showed me the papers and said that he had already bought the house and had left a substantial sum of money. The lawyer also told me that he had won a prize for his publication at the university a few years ago and that he had saved the rest of his pension from work. Though I just don’t know how he did it. I sank heavily into the chair. My father had saved it for their retirement and he couldn't even enjoy its benefit I was happy as well as sad. “You don't think that Marc would have given the money to him.” Aunt Beth said hesitantly. "Your father is from a different school of thought he would never rely on someone else's money, let alone your husband's" “ I know aunt Beth and I

I tried to still the feeling of rising panic as I had to meet Marc and tried to pull myself together. I would be a nervous wreck before I reached Milan. My mind slip back to the other journey to Seychelles a year ago when I had traveled with Marc it was the only time I had really enjoyed a flight he made my fear seem quite ridiculous. I was suddenly aware that everyone was moving around and realize that the plane had landed without any incident I breathe a sigh of relief and rose hesitantly to join the other passengers as they moved towards the door. As I stepped out of the plane I was panicking. I give a mental shrug thinking about how I will face Marc in his condition right now. The line of passengers waiting to pass the barriers move slowly and I had only enough time to tidy my hair and pressed my face before I came out of the airport. I had been told by Mathias that someone would be waiting at the airport to meet me but when I scan the faces I breathe a sigh of relief as Mathi

Cathy lent forward and kissed my cheek.” He's so weak Carmen you will see what I mean. He's too weak to say much don't let him talk just smile at him.”Smile ! Carmen groaned.Cathy opened the door of the room in which he lay and took my hand, leading me across the door towards the bed.A nurse sat at the little desk. She turned her head standing up eyes curious. “Hello.” I glanced at her briefly before turning my head towards the bed.My heart was thudding violently and I was perspiring everywhere.His head lay on the bed and was bandaged all over. The covers were raised on a cradle indicating some damage to the limbs he had and one of his arms was plastered.I was deliberately looking at the exterior details of his appearance because I was afraid to look at his eyes which were now open and visible between the bandages staring at me intently.Cathy's hand tucked my arm imploringly. I was rooted to the spot for

It had not been easy to fight the temptation. Seeing him again had opened old wounds making them fresh. He always had that effect on me no matter how I tried to ignore him he would always bring out my hidden emotions.I had always lost control whenever I was with him.My dreams had been filled with him from the time I came to know that he was dying and I could remember the way he had whispered, “Tesoro ….” and it went on and on in my head I had never imagined that I would ever hear him speak those words again. It was like the time when we were together and he would hold me in his arms and whisper lovingly in my ears kissing, " Tesoro, I love you ......" and kiss me passionately and I would always melt deep into his arms. I would feel like I am in the safest place and no one could enter our world as it only belonged to us but a witch called Bella Costa came and ruined our world and we are no longer together. I As Math

The housekeeper tapped on the door and entered saying dinner was ready and I followed her and went down towards the dining room.As I entered the dining room I saw Cathy and Mathias seated there and they both smiled at me as I entered. I did not see Ria, Marc's sister and was told that I will be meeting her tomorrow as she had stayed back at the hospital. Neither of us spoke throughout the dinner as if we were fighting our demons.After the dinner, Cathy told me to follow her to the library. Mathias excused himself and went off to his room.I sat on the sofa facing Cathy and asked. “What is it, Cathy?”Her dark eyes were steady. “Will you come to meet him tomorrow Carmen?”“I'm not sure I want to see him again as today everything came black in flashes and I am in an ocean of emotional turmoil,” I told her honestly. Seeing him after all these years had not been easy for me and I was not

The entire night all I did was think about Marc and his bruised body he looked so helpless and I had never seen him so weak. My heart trembled as I remembered how he controlled things all around him but now he was unable to do so.I had a sleepless night again and had to hide my dark circles in the morning with concealer as I was going to meet him again.While we were traveling to the hospital in the car Cathy was seated beside me and asked :"What did your fiancé say when you told him about Marc ?““He was not ready to let me come here but as I had to take his signature on the divorce paper, he let me come.” I replied brusquely I did not look at her and recalled how Don reacted when I told him I might have to stay for a longer period. I knew he was disappointed with me.“Does he know that he's having amnesia?” Cathy asked me immediately.“Yes he's aware of it.” I told

I wanted to know the depth of situation about Marc's condition so I followed them.As we entered the corridor leading to the doctor's chambers we met a man who was wearing a well-cut suit and he walked towards us and smiled as he held out his hand “ Mrs. Garcia, I'm very happy to meet you.”"The pleasure is all mine doctor but please address me as Carmen and not Mrs. Garcia,” I said sharply looking at Cathy.“This is Doctor Terence the specialist, who has been called in to take over Marc's case.” Cathy explained.I looked at him and said.” You are a psychiatrist?”“Among others,” He said cheerfully as he looked at me curiously. “ And why shouldn’t I call you that?”“We had separated a while ago but not divorced,” I told him firmly.“But he thinks that you are still married to him.”“Whatever he thinks doesn’t matt

Against my better judgment, I stayed back and continued to visit Marc at the hospital. Daily I spent an hour with him reading the newspaper to him seated by his bed, holding his hand, watching the mocking light come and go in his dark eyes when he looked at me. He teased me gently as he had done in those first months of our marriage showing me tenderness, which I remembered with grief now. It was as if the moment we had spent together was embedded in his consciousness and he wanted nothing but be with me but what an irony soon everything will be over. Once he gets better I will tell Cathy to book my tickets as I was missing Tio. But was strange I thought walking out of the hospital one evening because his moods in the weeks before we went to Seychelles had been dark and brooding and one would have imagined that he would have gone back to the feelings he had then but he seemed to be the man she had first married a passionate and gentle lover. I was happy to be beside him taking care o
