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 Cathy felt my withdrawn behavior and leaning over, touched my arm, her face gently looking at me with warmth.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
"You know everything..." Bella asked me hesitantly. "What do you think Bella?

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

Thank you Chapter 1 The winter snows were melting in the forest off the Caribou and the red orange Vermillion cliffs were straked with melting frost. 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. A buck’s tail
Blurb:- Carmen was a very sensitive woman who had fallen in love when she was young and married the man of her dreams but his betrayal broke her fragile heart and she left him but circumstances brought her back to himand all she wanted to do was meet him for the last time and move on with her life as there was nothing left between them but when she returned he trapped her without her knowledge..... My heart was beating fiercely and painfully as I was beginning to shake his closeness was overwhelming. When he lay on the bed he had been somehow Vulnerable. The powerful muscle strength of his lean body was less obvious but now he was on his feet again and although he still looked very pale he was very strong. The tight black curls were no longer able to give a touch of appeal to his tired face. His physical mental arrogance saw that. His arrogance made me back away like a frightened animal. “You have no right to ask me questions and I'm not answering them.” I flung at him. “Why did yo
The mid-afternoon sun was very pleasant and warm as spring was about to arrive. But I was feeling very hot and uneasy for the entire morning. And I decided that the workload was catching up with me because of which I was getting panic attacks and my body was overreacting.I was walking down the stairs as I had very little time for my lunch I had to get back to work and finish up the news that was supposed to be printed in the next day’s paper. And the reason why I had come out to have lunch was that I was annoyed with the piled-up work on my desk and I direly needed some fresh air. I had been sulking under the paperwork for about a month and still, there were lots of things that needed my attention so I decided to take the pending work home and complete it.I ordered some white pasta and wine to go with it. I usually never had wine during working hours but the work pressure was killing my head and I had to relax or I would go mad. I looked around the café while I waited for my order.
So after the unexpected proposal, I collapsed on the sofa as I never expected Don would propose. I was happy but in the deep corners of my heart, I knew I was not ready but it has been a while since I started dating him so it was expected Don wanted to take things to the next level and I knew he was being sincere. After we had a long talk I agreed and decided we will give some more time and think about how it works before we decide on a marriage date but first I had to be sure of my feelings. And after dinner when I returned home, I tossed and turned and thought a lot about my future and knew that I have to move on and so I decided to take the next step as it was very important before I let go of my past life altogether. "Wake up Carmen you need to do this no matter what happens Don is a good guy and he will always keep you happy." I told myself repeatedly till I fell asleep not allowing myself to think about the past. **************************************** I looked out of the c
"Carmen................" Cathy started but then she looked at me hesitantly.Okay now I was really nervous. This conversation is getting more dangerous."Cathy what is it tell me." I asked anxiously. My hands were sweating and I felt like something is not right.I looked at Mathias but he was looking at his mother."Mom you needd to tell her." Mathias insisted.Cathy sighed and said. “He's dying,” Cathy whispered. “Dying, Carmen.”For a few seconds, I just stood there staring at the window shocked and shaken, making my stomach clench. Different kinds of emotions were churning inside me. I did not want to be vulnerable like the way I had been six years back. I tried to block away all those insults that were thrown at me. And the words triggered in my head " He is Dying.." I moved a step behind nervously.“What do you mean?” I could barely
You can’t .....” She burst out.And I looked at her panicked expression and wondered what was she thinking about and as if she understood my confusion she came closer to me and held my hand.And her eyes were staring at me hand.For a few seconds, my face was blank as I stared back not understanding then my face flushed deeply as I looked at the ring on my left hand. It was the ring given to me by Don after he proposed me that day. And I didn't have the heart to remove it. As we were about to get married.“You can't wear that........If he saw that.” Cathy groaned.“I am engaged to be married,” I said stubbornly.Cathy looked distraught and said, “Carmen don't you understand he thinks you are still together. ”“Well, he's wrong then. “I said firmly.“You've go
