"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.

"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.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Milan. Please keep your seat belts fastened until the aircraft has landed completely. We kindly ask that you remain seated." With my eyes closed, I listened to the announcement and then reluctantly opened them to glance at my husband, who was sleeping peacefully beside me. I glanced at him while wondering what awaited us as we return to life which we had left behind nearly two months ago.Despite having a long and happy time together on our trip to Seychelles, it seemed like it was our last attempt at regaining the happiness that Marc had suggested after one of our quarrels. However, upon returning home to Milan, trouble started again.We all gathered at the villa for my father-in-law, Antonio's birthday celebration which included Bella's family the women Marc was betrothed to marry but he chose to marry me instead as he had fall in love with me at that time so even after his father opposed to our union he was determined to marry him leaving no space
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
What a day! I sighed audibly as I washed the dishes. I would have to meet Don as soon as I had my bath and ring Mathias about the arrangements that he has made for me to travel to Milan. I am really glad he took the initiative as it would save my time.Don, as I had expected was not happy about my decision to go to Milan, “Are yousure you haven't the smallest feeling for Marc anymore? I hope you don't want to get back together with him again?” He grabbed my shoulders his eyes searching my face for some hint of my thoughts.“Don't be an idiot sweetheart, I hate that men, can you honestly think that I have any reason to want him back again, he deserted me one year after our marriage and left me to bring up my son entirely on my own.’“Are you forgetting something?” Don said gently. “ your husband does not know about Tio's situation and I feel quite sure from what you have told me about him

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
