The Legal Wife's Return Chapter 46
Later in my room I stretched my length on my luxurious mattress unable to sleep, going over once again in my mind the content of my call to Don. I hated having to deceive him, knowing that when I finally return home, I would have to hurt him further. Whatever were Marc’s reasons for deceiving me to stay at the Villa, there had been a falling as far as the relationship between Don and me was concerned. I knew I could never marry him knowing that I was still in love with Marc. I wished desperately that I had never come to Milan. I was in no doubt that I could have made Don happy but as things stood now, all our lives had been thrown off course. I rolled angrily on my back and stared unseeingly at the white-painted ceiling. Not only were my own plans ruined, but I had a dreadful suspicion that Marc was making a disaster mistake choosing Bella for his next wife but it was always expected, I was just a passing relationship for him.I was forced to admit that my opinion was heavily biased

The lunch would have been really awkward if it hadn't been for Ria who was talking non-stop so I enjoyed my lunch and ate heartily and thankfully after his lunch, Marc left abruptly towards his study without looking at me. Ria suggested we spend some time together so I agreed or I would have ended up having only my company. I enjoyed their compay very much and wanted to make the most of it as I was the only child of my parents and had never enjoyed the company of siblings and interacting with Mathias and Ria was a new experince for me ad for the first time I felt jealous of Marc as he had such loving siblings who dote on him, no matter how arrogant he is. We were just relaxing over coffee in the lounge when the outer door creaked loudly and we could hear the sounds of steps footsteps walking across the Hall. I felt my pulse was racing alarmingly, as I knew that hot color had flooded my cheeks only to fade again leaving me paler than before. I trembled to know that if I were to have

With unsteady feet, I began to descend the stairs but when I reached down, I saw with dismay that the corridor leading to the lounge and Marc's study was in deep shadow and I had a distinct feeling that someone or something was watching me.“Argh………!” I give a barely suppressed scream as a hand gripped my shoulder and Marc's voice demanded.” Why are you here at this time of the night ?”“Don't ever do that again to me!” I said in a trembling voice, leaning my head weakly against the heavy panels of the door.“I am sorry if I startled you,” Marc said in a cold voice. “But as I said before why are you downstairs now, when everyone else is sleeping in their bedroom?”“I am not about to steal anything from your locker if that's what you're thinking!” I said bitterly my temper rising, as I faced Marc's arrogant figure, my e

I showered and dried myself slowly savoring the luxury of my surroundings, knowing that I could have been happy here if things would have worked out differently seven years ago. I shifted , my focus from my dampened mood a little to where the direction of my thoughts was flowing and flicked quickly through my small wardrobe through the few dresses that I had brought with me. I had actually wanted to accompany Marc in the morning but going to his room was a total waste of time and my peace of mind was gone. I looked at myself in the mirror thrusting away the destructive thoughts and forcing myself to concentrate on the task at hand. Finally, I selected a simple sleeveless dress which was blue in color. Then I slipped it over my slim figure. With the addition of a light coating of mascara and lipstick and my hair in a quickly assembled knot. I felt ready to face the world. It was after all much more sensible to be going to Naviglio with Mathias and Ria. I reassured myself that it would

After I finished my shopping I placed it carefully on my spacious handbag, as I walked quickly back towards the café enjoying Marc’s surprised expression at my unexpectedly early return.“All my life I have been searching for a woman, who could accomplish a shopping trip so speedily. Perhaps when you have divorced Marc, you would consider a proposal for me?”Marc grinned wickedly at me but raised his arms in alarm as I picked up his half-finished drink and threatened him with it.“Carmen I apologize,” he said laughing away, blissfully unconscious of the interested glances from the nearby table.” Do you want to drink or shall we get on?“Let's go Mathias please,” I said to ask my cheeks becoming red, aware that we were the focus of attention in the café.“We will go for the Gondola ride, if you agree.”“That sounds fine.” I said following him qui

I couldn't sleep throughout the time we travelled. I was very restless.When we landed at London Heathrow airport it was two in the morning. We finished all the formalities and by the time we came out it was two-thirty in the morning. I desperately wanted to go to the hospital but I knew I won’t be allowed to enter and Don had gone home as he had an urgency at home. I had called him before boarding the flight from Milan. I didn't want to bother him more as he has done enough for me. I checked my cell phone and it was working fine, as Mathias went to the washroom, I called up the hospital’s number. After giving Tio’s ward number, which Don had sent me on Mathias’s phone, I came to know that Tio was doing better as they had fixed the problem with his spine, as the bone near it was dislocated. But now he was out of danger. But would have to be kept in a hospital for a few days for observation.I was surprised that Don

Taking a deep breath, I said without stopping. “Mathias Tio is Marc’s son not Blade Taylor's or any other men, whatsoever, Marc had imagined for that matter.” I saw Mathias’s face darken with surprise. “ I don't understand how can this be?" “There's no doubt about it, Mathias, you will be in no doubt about it when you have seen Tio as he is the exact carbon copy of Marc and you." I tried to explain. “Carmen what are you saying? What have you done and how could you do that?" Mathias stared at me in shocked amazement. I lowered my eyes before his accusing stare, then raised them again and said bitterly. “Perhaps you should say those words to Marc and not me. I never said that Tio was not Marc’s son it was all in Marc's imagination. I did not have a lover Mathias, I never wanted and I never had anyone but Marc,” I added shaking my head. “He never trusted me! what was I supposed to do? I caught him right-handed with another woman and he blamed me for the infidelity, that he had done

The taxi we hired drove very swiftly towards our destination. The morning traffic was not much so we arrived at the entrance of the hospital without any delay, Mathias paid the driver and I had a cause to bless him, as I was actually in a trance and did not even think of taking out change and giving it to the driver. My whole equilibrium had shattered after hearing Tio's news and I could hardly think about anything.We entered the reception area and we were directed towards the ward on the second floor. There was still no sign of Don, as I began to hope that he should not be there as I wanted to finish the task related to him later. I did us to be in an awkward situation as Mathias was also here with me.The nurse who met us outside Tio’s ward confirmed Don’s departure a while ago. He left a message asking me to contact him at home as soon as possible as his mother was not keeping well and he had to rush back home. I know, I was being selfish but right now my state of mind couldn’t thi

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
