2024-10-29 19:42:56I 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

The desire that I had held back all these years was wanting to come out as his hands were moving all around me and my body was aching for his touch.“Please Marc! I want you.” I said shamelessly raising my hands to his chest unable to disguise the weakening emotion turning my lips to water. I couldn't help it. With almost like an animal growl he dragged my resistant body against his and I no longer pretended to repel his advances. My arms tightened around his neck, so that my fingers were buried in his hair and I pressed my body close to his holding nothing back, in my newly acknowledged love for him.“Carmen I want you!” He groaned trailing his lips sensually over the soft skin off my shoulders and pulling away from the shoulder strap, with an unsteady hand and kissing my mouth with his own like a starving man suddenly presented with a feast.“ Marc Marc! please love me! ““Your dress helps me with it,” Marc muttered huskily struggling for a mome

I woke up with a start, to find my body dripping with sweat and the bedroom light still burning fiercely. I got up and turned off the tormenting light, my whole body aching with unfulfilled longings. I still responded so passively to his touches and I knew no man can ever replace Marc as he could make me untrollable and it was only he who could turn me wild and do things which no one woud ever think of. I sighed and turned over restlessly as I threw myself again on the big bed and after some time I went off to sleep.When I woke up next the sun was shining brightly through the window and there was the smell of coffee from the small tray bedside table. Ada must have just left it there, I thought struggling quickly and reaching out for my watch, kept on the bedside table.“OMG! It’s one in the afternoon.” I had overslept.I gasped for breath and then quickly hurried out of the bed and drank the cup of coffee. I was

“Oh God ! “I put a shaking hand over my mouth. “When you crashed ?” “When I crashed,” he agreed thickly, those little flames in his dark eyes. " I pulled myself together. “Now I suppose you are trying to claim, it was my fault you crashed?” He shot me a disapproving look and said, “It was my fault for being so stupidly affected by seeing the notice you had sent me that morning. If I had my mind on what I was doing I would have seen the lorry before I hit it.” “Too bad, that for once your concentration wasn't working properly.” I marked coldly. “I thought nothing ever came between you and your work.” I had gone too far I knew that as I saw the little flames burst into my face. I got to my feet to run but it was too late. Marc had captured me in his arms his hands were violent and his mouth closed with mine. I knew I had been waiting for it ever since I woke up. It was a long way past pretending. I wanted to feel that hard male body forcing me down onto the bed and I did not even be

My face went white. I abandoned my pride because this was now a conflict so bitter for it to be of any use to me. “If you touch me, I will hate it,” I whispered in a scared voice.He laughed and there was a naked desire in his eyes, a feeling so powerful that I went rigid with terror in front of it. He had never before looked at me like that. No man had. Marc had often looked at me with passion in the past but always with love, now there's nothing warm or soft about the expression in those beautiful dark eyes.I have never seen that expression in a man's face before but I knew it now, I had no hesitation in recognizing it.Lust, I thought sickeningly. It was an ugly word for an uglier feeling, but it was what I saw in his face as I stared at him. His eyes were as hard and as inhuman glittering and his nostrils flared above his mouth.“Don't..." I whispered. " Please! “His hands moved slowly and I watched them with fear,

I had woken up in the middle of the night and for a few minutes after our fierce lovemaking, I had leaned against Marc, eyes closed, breathing heavily, then repulsion and self-disgust has swept over me and I had to run from him as though from the devil himself. For hours I had paced around my room and I got inside my quit and had recalled how we had met. Six years ago It was my birthday and I had gone out with my two friends and Englishman and Harriet my roommate. We had gone to a nightclub and the music was blaring deafening our ears but we were still enjoying it. “Ah…the party song.” Henry my friend wiggled his eyebrows. “ Come both you girl must dance with me.” He took both our hands and was leading us to the dance floor but I denied saying I was too tipsy and will not be able to gel in the crowd so they left me seated there went on dancing. I was looking at them and enjoying my drink.“You know, I can teach you if you want to dance.” A seductively sexy voice whispered from just

"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.

"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
