Chapter 7
Last Updated:
2022-02-20 00:03:57I was too naïve and young to realize what I had let myself into but as people say love can make you blind and you will do anything to be the person you love and that's what I was doing trying to make myself acceptable in between them by being who I was and not wanting to become a person they wanted me to become.
I guess every relationship has its ups and down when they begin their new journey and I was ready to face all the challenges that come my way as Marc's love was enough for me to survive anything but I was so naïve to think like that. And once I realized it shattered everything inside me and I was too young and inexperienced to know how to deal with it but I did try.
Those first months of my marriage had been heavenly Marc had been an exciting lover, sensitive and aware of my innocence and very protective of it. The only barrier to perfect happiness had been his father very cold and hostile. Antonio Garcia had made no secret

My eyes went wide with shock as I was not expecting him at all. And I was feeling a little uneasy because of his presence. “Hello Carmen," Blade said softly. I was not happy to see Blade at all. I was thinking it was Marc and I was about to give him a piece of my mind. I somehow felt dizzy and was about to fall realizing that I had not eaten anything since morning.“Steady Carmen!” Blade’s arms were on my shoulders and then somehow I was sitting on the couch in the living room as he handed me a large measure of brandy. “No, I can't drink that stuff Blade honestly. I don't need it I am perfectly OK, I really am.” I told him seriously. I wanted to ask him to leave but it would be rude. “You can't see the color of your face, you can do as you're told and drink this up like a good girl. You are very cold you need it. “ He said stubbornly. “Well, thanks for the compliment,” I said softly drinking the liquid and grasping as th

“You little bitch, you would do anything to protect your lover, isn’t it? What do you do not know is it would give me great pleasure to shake the breath out of you lover.” Marc said furiously as he came and grabbed my hand. I found myself unable to speak in my own defense but then I stood my ground said, “ So what if you caught me right-handed, even you cheated on me I saw you lying on our bed with Bella, so now we're even.” “My God you are really a son of a bitch, aren’t you? Blade's words penetrated my senses and I became aware that Marc’s hand have left me and now his attention was back to Blade. And I knew that Balde was in for a beating. “Blade please just leave us to go now for my sake please.” I found that I was unable to raise my voice for both the men turned towards me. I gulped my saliva nervously. There was a sneer in Marc’s face as he said. “ Yes, I have finished with you for the moment be thankful that I am letting you go.” He turned away from Blade his eyes coming to

I opened the bedroom door only to come to an embarrassed halt at the site which met my eyes Marc was dressed only in his shorts and was in the process of pulling a clean shirt over his body. His muscled shoulders were too much even in my present distressed condition the site of his lean body sent shivers down my spine and almost unconsciously flash of colour rose on my face and my cheeks went red. I was immediately reminded of the fact that he was lying naked in the bed with Bella and it pained my heart to think about it dragging my eyes away from his disturbing presence I turned away in the other direction. “Stay I wish to speak to you.” His words were like a command. “I will wait for you in the living room.” I insisted but he started laughing all of a sudden. His laughter greatly annoyed me. “Come on Carmen is it not a little late for modesty. I'm sure the male body can hold no secrets from you, your have a new husband and a new lover all in the span of six months, this display

I was having sleepless nights thinking about my failed marriage and I tried to busy myself with my studies as there was nothing left from my broken marriage. I knew I couldn’t turn back the clock and make everything right as I don’t want to go back to the man whom I loved so wholeheartedly and in return, he slept with another woman in our marriage bed. I just didn't want to bring that scene back to my mind again. I just let it lie in my subconsciousness. And my life just moved on as if I had never gotten married and continued with my daily routine. It was a few days after Marc’s departure that I finally got the courage to call my parents.The phone started ringing but as soon as it was received I heard someone else's voice, it did not sound like my mother but before I could ask that person she said, “ Carmen its aunt Beth your neighbor your parents had an accident and they've been admitted in the hospital please come back ASAP. We are here and taking care of them but you need to hurry

Aunt Beth took complete charge of my life by feeding me every day and giving me the moral support I needed as I tried to plan for the future. But within a month of my parent's death I realized that I would have to come to terms with additional complications in life I could no longer avoid the obvious fact that my body was not functioning normally and could no longer be put down to shock or worry. I came to know that I was pregnant I was going to have Marc’s baby.It was on Sunday morning that I finally told Aunt Beth what I wanted to do and my firm decision about the future. If Marc comes to know that I was going to have his child he would take me back not because he loves me but to satisfy his family's wish to have an heir. He definitely wouldn't consider me fit to take care of his child. I was pretty scared but then I finally thought about it that he would even take the child away from me and let his mother take care of it . I was going mad as it was not good at all if

After visiting the solicitor that afternoon I was really shocked and I came back home and went straight to Aunt Beth’s house. I was too shocked to show any kind of reaction at the lawyer's office. It's unbelievable, it really is. I told them I had told the lawyer that I thought he had made a big mistake but he showed me the papers and said that he had already bought the house and had left a substantial sum of money. The lawyer also told me that he had won a prize for his publication at the university a few years ago and that he had saved the rest of his pension from work. Though I just don’t know how he did it. I sank heavily into the chair. My father had saved it for their retirement and he couldn't even enjoy its benefit I was happy as well as sad. “You don't think that Marc would have given the money to him.” Aunt Beth said hesitantly. "Your father is from a different school of thought he would never rely on someone else's money, let alone your husband's" “ I know aunt Beth and I

I tried to still the feeling of rising panic as I had to meet Marc and tried to pull myself together. I would be a nervous wreck before I reached Milan. My mind slip back to the other journey to Seychelles a year ago when I had traveled with Marc it was the only time I had really enjoyed a flight he made my fear seem quite ridiculous. I was suddenly aware that everyone was moving around and realize that the plane had landed without any incident I breathe a sigh of relief and rose hesitantly to join the other passengers as they moved towards the door. As I stepped out of the plane I was panicking. I give a mental shrug thinking about how I will face Marc in his condition right now. The line of passengers waiting to pass the barriers move slowly and I had only enough time to tidy my hair and pressed my face before I came out of the airport. I had been told by Mathias that someone would be waiting at the airport to meet me but when I scan the faces I breathe a sigh of relief as Mathi

Cathy lent forward and kissed my cheek.” He's so weak Carmen you will see what I mean. He's too weak to say much don't let him talk just smile at him.”Smile ! Carmen groaned.Cathy opened the door of the room in which he lay and took my hand, leading me across the door towards the bed.A nurse sat at the little desk. She turned her head standing up eyes curious. “Hello.” I glanced at her briefly before turning my head towards the bed.My heart was thudding violently and I was perspiring everywhere.His head lay on the bed and was bandaged all over. The covers were raised on a cradle indicating some damage to the limbs he had and one of his arms was plastered.I was deliberately looking at the exterior details of his appearance because I was afraid to look at his eyes which were now open and visible between the bandages staring at me intently.Cathy's hand tucked my arm imploringly. I was rooted to the spot for

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
