2022-02-25 16:37:41I ran out of his room towards the exit fuming with anger. I was on a verge of a breakdown.
How could I have been so foolish! That man will never change. I should have listen to my instinct rather than beleving in Cathy.
Oh, but whom am I Kidding ! I was the one who got myself into this mess.
I walked down the road struggling with myself. What was I going to do the only way to get off the estate was to walk for miles till I find the highway and I knew that anyone driving through the state would not give me I lift, even if I gave them double the amount that they charge usually. Marc would make sure that no one helps me.
Marc could make life hell for anyone who offended him. Even if I did manage to persuade someone to take me by in his car there was this strong possibility that Marc would pursue them and force them to come back. This was not London, where you get cabs and Uber by snapping your finger. And Marc was a powerful man with many interests

“We ought to introduce yourself. I am Eric Kent.” “Carmen White,” I told him flatly. I smiled at him and observed him keenly just to make sure that he can be trusted. For I have to find someone who would help me to escape. He moved ahead and opened the door of the car, I climbed into it and he joined me. He started the car and we drove forward. “What are you doing in this estate?” I asked him curiously as I looked ahead. “I am botanist,” he said glancing at me. I was shocked. “Really!” A flicker of amusement crossed his face. “Why do people always respond like that I wonder? What's strange about the study of plants?” “Is that what you're doing here? Studying the vineyard?” “I am making a tour of the Italian suburbs observing plants, he said “It is actually a Ph.D. stuff. I am doing a thesis on different species of plants found here.”

“You will give Mister Kent the wrong ideas Carmen.” said a cool mocking voice from behind me and my heart skipped a beat as I saw Marc standing there. Why did he have to look so handsome even when he was sick. I just stared at him not wanting to argue with him. “Don’t speak otherwise my love, I have our wedding photos to prove that you are my lawfully wedded wife." He said with such possesiveness that wanted to run. Eric Kent was shaking, and his eyes were angry. I looked at him in despair and knew precisely what he was thinking. He was imagining that I had deceived him. He was furious at me. Shoving a hand around the back of his neck he said briskly, “Excuse me I need to take a shower and change my dress.” He walked up the stairs and I looked at Marc bitterly. Ada vanished discreetly leaving us alone in the Hall. “My God I hate you, Marc!” I flung at him. “Do you? Marc sneered and his face was Savage. “Wel

My pulse was beating fiercely, as I considered his motives knowing against my will that I already guessed one of them because he was kissing me and I had not been the only one to become so fiercely aroused. I discovered that as my body was responding to his kisses but Marc was responding the same way. I have to make myself remember other things, remind myself that Marc reacted to all attractive women with the same force. It was a purely physical reaction in him and I was not going to let him use me for some creepy satisfaction of his appetite.Although it had been his own infidelity that had destroyed our marriage, it was already clear to me that Marc felt he was the one with the grievances. His whole attitude indicated that he felt I was the one to blame. I spun around and started walking downstairs as I had to control myself and not allow my emotions to get better off me and the first thing first, I need to call up my son as I have not spoken to him

“One moment Carmen!” He said harshly grasping my arm as I was about to move towards the door. “ I will sign the divorce papers only if you stay for another week here and I have invited Ria’s in-laws for dinner this evening and as you are my wife it would be discourteous, if you were not to join as they know you are still my wife.” “And what if I disagree…..” I said anxiously.“Then you will not get your passport back.” “You mean your present lover Bella Costa will be here and I need to entertain her as I am still your wife in papers.” I snapped angrily as I felt so disgusted at the thought of meeting her again. “May I go now, or do I have to ask for your permission to do that? And anyway your lover is coming so why do you need me?” As there was no point in arguing with him, I was having a migraine.“Be careful Carmen! he said softly. “Don’t go too far! And remember don’t be rude to my guests as they are Ria’s in-laws”“Oh, don’t worry Marc. I may not be a fit wife for you but I am ca

I felt an overwhelming sense of loss as I saw how lovingly he looked at Ria. Had Marc ever looked at me that way? I couldn't remember involuntary as I glanced up at his face to find my eyes held by the brooding anger of his own. I felt my legs begin to tremble at the icy gaze that he was giving me. I knew I had done something impulsive but I don't regret it as it atleast came me a sense of relief to know that Ria was happy with Drake. Couldn't Marc for once come off from that arrogant shell he has built around him and become the man I had loved once but I know it was my wishful thinking. I shouldn't hope for too much when it comes to Marc as he was unpredictable. “Come along Marc let's go to the dinner table and have dinner, “ Bella said clinging persuasively to Marc’s arm and pulling his attention towards her. For a moment I thought he would shake the other woman away and chastise his wife publicly in front of his guest but his self-cont

As I entered the drawing-room, everyone was trying to ignore me. Only Ria came towards me with a sympathetic expression on her face and drew towards her to the couch where she and Drake were sitting.“Come and sit down, Carmen. I know you are upset.” She said lovingly as I was touched.“No, no,” I said quietly. “Just angry, Marc and I always have that effect on one another.” I added with an apologetic glance in Drake’s direction.” Look, I am sorry about the things I said earlier. They just slipped out. I know that’s a lame excuse and you took it very lightly.” I added quietly.Drake shrugged. “Why should you apologize? I was not offended. A little shocked at first, yes…but it was not such a terrible thing to say and I am forced to agree that the methods that our family use, to choose their children’s partner can be a little unreasonable. I was fortunate,” He said with a smile in Ria’s direction. “The partner chosen for me was the one I would have chosen."“I am fortunate too…” Ria said

Why was it taht he smiled at everyone but not me am I that hateful. It was he who betrayed me with the women who stood beside him yet the blame was all on me that I betrayed him. Am I that easy to bully. Determinedly I forced myself to look away from the imposing figures. why, oh, why, when Marc treated me so badly, did he have this disrupting effect on my senses? I was really pathetic. Even in the middle of the fierce argument I knew that I was not immune from his personality. Physical attraction has a lot to answer for, I thought and I jumped for a second as Carl came behind me and put his possessive hand on my arm .“You have returned! I am glad the room was very dull, without your presence. “ “Really?” I said in laughing disbelief. “How would you know when you were in the garden? ““ I could not bear the room anymore without you, so I went out for fresh breath. “ He confessed.“I see. Are you going to sit down? ““No, I don't want to sit right now. But if you allow me, we can t

“Let my wife go, Carl!” Marc shouted very loud and clear and I could hear the anger in his voice. And I heaved a sigh of relief as tears rolled down my cheeks.And I knew at that moment that I will forever be indebted to Marc for this as he saved me from losing my dignity but I did not know how to face him now because of my stupidity. I have caused him a big trouble. After being released abruptly from Carl’s grip, I felt myself falling weakly to the ground. It was Marc’s grip that supported me and helped me to regain my balance. As he held me tightly. “Marc, listen to me, Please!” I said pleadingly. “Go back to the house, Carmen! "Marc ordered harshly. “You can go through the inner door of the garden and make sure you are not seen….you are not a pretty sight right now,” He added angrily. “Go, now ! I have a business to attend here,” Staring at Carl with a loathsome expression. I knew that expression and was aware o

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.

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
