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

My heart hammered against my chest, as I watched him, hating and loving it as well.” My dark eyes were wide with frantic emotions. He looked up and I hurriedly drop my lashes over my eyes afraid of letting him see what effect he had on me. “We should go to Seychelles sometime later.” I said huskily. “when you are absolutely fine Marc.” He gave me a long look from his dark eyes and said.” I will recover much faster if I go somewhere and have you for myself.” I blushed and said pulling away from him. “ I have to go.” And ran to the door and his eyes followed me, narrowing the dark eyes with anger. “Come back, Carmen !” He said sharply but I ran out pretending not to hear my body trembling. I went to see Cathy straight from the hospital. Mathias was waiting for me outside and drove me towards the Garcia house which belonged to Cathy. I had spent a lot of time there, after our marriage. And I must say it's awkward coming

Was Marc pretending? I asked myself after returning to our apartment or was he merely blocking out certain memories because he preferred not to remember them? It was impossible, I admitted reluctantly that he was hoping that he could Wipeout the past. He might believe that if he could get me to see him often enough, I would gradually forget what had happened. And it was coming through just like he wanted. Wasn't I getting a little soft-hearted towards him. I thought admitting it myself. I must remind myself of the anger that I had for Marc and it shot up like Mercury inside me. If he was pretending he was a lying swine, I thought furiously.I told myself the tenth time that day that I will not go and visit him I would stay away from him from now on and tell Cathy that the game was over. But in the end, I went ridiculing myself for my weakness arguing with myself every inch of the way to the hospital. Even as I stood outside his room I hesitated. I was several hours late from the tim

Deer’s were feeding in the forest glades among the shades of pine tree and fir and trout where leaping in the sun sparkle streams. A shadow moved under the pine, then was gone.Five deer fed on the grass along the bank of the mountain stream of Caribou. Their coats mottled with light and shadow of sunlight through the leaves.It was very still water rippled around the roots of a tree where the soil had washed away and gurgled cheerfully among the rocks.

"You know everything..." Bella asked me hesitantly. "What do you think Bella? You wanted my son and when it didn't work out you even had an affair with my husband you tried to ruin my family you are such shameless women but I won't allow you to do it anymore so either you leave the country or I will leak out the information about your affair with my husband and believe me if the news goes out your father's reputation will be ruined and so will your as no man in the right mind will want to marry you. So you decide what do you want?" I warned her. But she laughed it out as if I was joking and said. "You won't do it you don't have the balls to do it you love your husband just like he loves you and both of you would do anything to protect each other." "Do you want me to tell your parents about your dual life?" I threw at her and knew she would react as I could see her panicking. She looked at me with hatred and after a few seconds she said. " You know I had my eyes on your husband for

I took my time in getting ready, feeling too embarrassed by what had happened in the past hour to be eager to face Cathy. It was almost half an hour before I left my room to enter the living room. Cathy was talking to Marc and as I walked in, she stood up and walked towards me. “There you are, my dear Carmen,” Cathy said very calmly, as though nothing happened. She pulled me towards the sofa and patted the place beside her. “Come and sit with me, Carmen.” I looked at Marc who was staring at me with many emotions on his face, as I sat beside her.“How are you, Carmen? I am so sorry I couldn’t come and visit you later at Piemonte, as I was quite busy taking care of the business, while Marc was resting.” Cathy gracefully explained her absence. Was I supposed to understand her situation, while she had lied behind to me? I did not say anything and kept mum. Cathy felt my withdrawn behavior and leaning over, touched my arm, her face gently looking at me with warmth. “ Carmen I am sorry

After I left the lawyer's office, I walked thoughtfully down the street. Absently going into the small coffee house I ordered a sandwich and a Cup of rather tasteless tea. By the time I had consumed my snack and began to walk back towards the hospital, I was still confused as I was looking for a solution to my problems but found none. I know that if I took Marc to the court it would be unforgivable and yet I knew I would never face the alternative solution of seeing Tio only occasionally, perhaps never. I was reluctantly forced to the conclusion that the only way out of the difficulty was to disappear out of Marc's life for good . How I will accomplish what I was thinking was a big question. I sighed bitterly as I reflected that with a more reasonable man it would have been sufficient to have discussed out the facts and the lawyer would have put them to her. But as the lawyer had summarized Marc was a very determined man and he would fight every step of the way whatever it cost to hi

The office of my lawyer was situated not very far away from the hospital and I walked there with time to spare before my appointment. The waiting room outside the office was very comfortable, I was directed to go inside by the secretary as I walked inside the office.I was forced to admit that managing without a car nowadays was difficult sometimes . At least I would not have that problem if I decided to return to Milan with Marc.If only I were the type of person he imagined, how much easier life would be. I could just accept the money offered and go my own way. If I had been willing to swallow my pride, I would have accepted Marcs help during Tio’s birth and saved myself a hard struggleMy lawyer’s secretary interrupted my musings and soon I was comfortably sitting in the comfortable armchair in a rather shabby office.“What problem are you facing now, Mrs. Garcia?” He said coming and sitting near me.“It's about Tio my son.” I began. “Yes, just a moment let

“Don't Marc! Please don't !” He shook his head in disgust at his vulnerability. “Whatever you have or not done Carmen, I want you! I think I shall always want you,” he groaned softly allowing his mouth to burn a trail of fire from a delicate ear to the trembling corner of my mouth.My legs were shaking nervously. “Marc no! I pushed fiercely against his resisting body, drawing my head away from the weakening attraction. “You want me to Carmen! Do you think that I can hold you in my arms like this and not know that you feel exactly as I do? “ “No ! I protested again. “No I won't let you do this. You think I'll be more liberal about Tio if you make Love to me then you are wrong .” The grip of my arms was loosened and suddenly I was free. “Carmen whatever happens, I am warning you I intend to take Tio with me. If you stay here with your fiancé it will be without Tio. You must make the choice Carmen, either you come back to Milan or lose Tio.”“What do you mean come back to Milan? “

“What was I to think?” Marc said harshly.” What would any man have thought? I returned home to find you in Taylor's arms and then later when I came back to the flat it was to discover that you had packed and left without a word. When you wrote to me telling me about the Child, I actually thought that Taylor was the father. I was still angry and hurt.”At his final words, I could not hold my temper finally and snapped at him as I was unable to rest my feelings any longer. “You make me sick, Marc Garcia! I said with hurt and anger. “How dare you come here pushing your way into my house with your accusations and threats? You are an unfeeling monster! I continued with all the desperate anger that I had stored inside me for years pouring into the open. “You must be mad Marc!” I continued. “ I think you must be blind as well! do you truly believe I would be living here with my son if I were the gold digger you take me for? Am I not so attractive that you think, I couldn't have been persuad

“Are you sure he is fine Marc?” I questioned him and when he did not reply.” Okay leave it I will call the hospital myself.” and took out my phone to call the hospital. “Carmen, just believe me he is fine,” Marc interrupted my thoughts. “ they said they will call us if there is any change in his condition and we will go to the hospital anyway.” He said calmly. “What did Tio say to you?” I asked in a trembling voice. “Well it wasn’t that difficult for him to recognize me, as he had already met Mathias and when I came into the picture it did not take him long to conclude about my identity and I clarified the air for him.” He added with a shrug. “Did you talk to him for long……….?” I asked in a concerned voice. “Just for a few minutes. They were concerned that he should rest. He is still very weak. I have arranged for him to be shifted to a private ward and I have also arranged for us to meet his surgeon who did his surgery yesterday.” “Why did you do it? You don’t have any right !”

I finished all the formalities at the hospital and discussed Tio's situation with the nurse once aagain as I had to be sure of everything only then I could relax.Mathias had gone off to find a hotel for himself and I am sure he must have found one too. My house was too small I couln't accomodate him and plus he would be very uncomfortable there.I really needed to clear my head so I walked back towards my house.When I reached home, I found myself very disturbed but firstly I went to aunt Beth’s house to reassure her about Tio’s health as she had been calling me again and again.She hugged me tightly in her embrace trying to comfort me and I hugged her back as I need the warmth.She insisted I have some breakfast but I was not feeling like eating anything so I politely refused and when to my house and closed the door. I was trying desperately not to think about Tio’s reaction when he knows about
