Deep inside, I prayed he would say no and that it was all a misunderstanding. “I’m not the spy,” I continued softly, desperately hoping he would believe me.
I saw Artemy visibly swallow hard, and he slightly shook his head. “I know, Rebecca.”
He accepted my plea, but I still couldn’t forget those words. It still hurt. I still felt like I was breaking. Under the layers of hurt, deep anger was raging. Never had I felt this way. Not even when I was tortured.
I loathed that Artemy could make me feel this way.
My body vibrated with the force of my anger, and as I stared at Artemy’s guilty face

RebeccaThe next morning was filled with tension and anxiety. My stomach twisted dangerously, and my heart was constantly aching. Stepping out of our bedroom, I saw Brayden walking around the corner. His steps faltered at the sight of me.Giving me a nod, he walked closer. “You should have let Artemy explain,” he stated curtly without any greeting.“I heard what I needed to know. Nothing he would say can change the truth,” I replied, holding his cold eyes, and they burned into mine.He shook his head. “And that’s where you are wrong.

ArtemyMy heart raced as I made my way to the piano room. Sweat broke on my forehead and the back of my neck. Stopping in front of the room, I laid my hand on the knob.

RebeccaI was dreading opening my eyes. Falling asleep last night without Artemy was painful. I had to take my sleeping pills, just in case my nightmares came back.In the back of my mind, I had this annoying voice whispering to me that it was my fault. But the other voice fought back, telling me I needed time to think.Holding the other pillow to my chest, I burrowed deeper under the comforter with a sigh before opening my eyes. But I quickly covered my mouth with my hand to stifle the gasp that threatened to escape at the sight in front of me.“Artemy,” I breathed, my eyes fixated on his sleeping form.Shoving the purple comforter from

RebeccaMy legs bounced up and down almost frantically. In their nervous movement, a random rhythm was found. It matched the beating of my pounding and wildly racing heart.If the bouncing of my knees were not enough to show my anxiety, then my hands showed it clearly. My trembling hands rested on my lap, my fingers clenching tight, and then unclenching around the fabric of my dress.It wasn’t a surprise that I was slowly going crazy with tension.After all, I was sitting at the piano, waiting for Artemy to make his appearance.It had been two nights since I last played the piano. The last two nights, it

RebeccaArtemy’s eyes widened, and he quickly shook his head. “No. Don’t—” But his flowing words were stopped by my finger pressed over his lips.“No, listen to me, Artemy. Please, just let me get this out, okay?”He sighed and gave me a sharp nod, his fingers digging into my hips. “I’m sorry for hurting you. I was angry and hurt, and I wanted you to hurt. I’m still angry and hurt from what you did, but I can’t hurt you. It torments me to think that you were in pain because of me.”Artemy made a strangling sound. He brought his hand up his face and placed it over mine. I looked at his stunning face, my heart thumping at how beautiful he

Rebecca“Are you serious?” Lynda growled as she walked into her room, slamming the door behind her. My head snapped up at her tone, and I placed my book down, giving her a questioning look.“Huh?” I asked.“Three fucking days. No, scratch that—five days, Rebecca! How long is this going to last?” She glared at me. I knew exactly what she was talking about, and as she voiced out her frustration, I looked down guiltily.“I don’t know what to do with you, and it can’t go on like this anymore,” she cried, her unconcealed impatience evident in her tone and expression.Sighing, I

RebeccaArtemy had left me breathless and completely in a daze with his kiss, and now his words made my heart jump. My body melted under his, and I stared up into his furious yet painful eyes. I should have been scared, but I wasn’t. Not of Artemy.He might have been angry with me, but he was still gentle. Even as he gazed down furiously, his fingers were gently and softly caressing my cheek. Artemy was doing it almost unknowingly, as if he needed to touch me, feel me.We stared at each other for a few seconds, Artemy looking suddenly lost for words. Slowly the rage in his eyes disappeared until they were soft with unspoken emotions. Still holding my hands captive above my head and my body under his, he slowly bent down until our foreheads were softly touching.

RebeccaArtemy paused for what felt like the longest time, leaving the words hanging around us, our eyes connected together. We breathed together, our heart racing in unison.Another tear spilled from my eye and ran down my cheek. Artemy caught it quickly with his lips, kissing it away. When another fell down my face, he did the same thing. Closing my eyes, I hiccupped back a sob.“That little boy was me, Rebecca,” Artemy whispered in my ear, his breath tickling me there. “And the broken girl he found under his bed, his Angel, she is you. You are my Angel.”“I—” I started but then quickly snapped my mouth shut. I didn’t know what to say. His confession had truly left me with

The unexpected sight before me was a testament to the depth of these connections.Aunt Bernadette, the role seemed incongruous at first glance.

Swiftly, I elevated myself into a sitting position, my eyes grappling with the persistent morning radiance as I blinked away the remnants of sleep.Emerging from the covers, I navigated my way toward the crib stationed nearby, only to discover it vacant, devoid of the presence I anticipated.

Had they not returned to the comfort of our shared sanctuary?While enveloping myself in a robe, I embarked on a trajectory towards the bathroom, swiftly tending to the ritual of dental hygiene and facial invigoration.
