The Wife (Rossi, Book 2) 2.1 CAROLINE
I must be dreaming. Or having a fucking nightmare, actually. This can’t be fucking real. None of this can be real. The twins would never, ever do this to me. They would never break my heart like this. And Sara, she doesn’t like the twins, not in this way. The twins assured me of that, many times. And yet, that doesn’t change the fact that this is happening. Nick is sitting on the couch, his chest bare. And Sara is sitting in his lap. Completely naked. His hand is in between her legs, stroking her thighs. And Antonio is leaned over them, his hands wrapped up in her beautiful hair. And.His.Lips. On. Hers. This cannot be happening. The broken glass had come from a picture we kept on the side table. A picture of us three on our wedding. “What the hell is going on here?”I turn, startled, and my eyes meet the disgusted eyes of Lucien. When the hell did he walk in?I turn to the door and see it wide open, his car parked but still running. Sucking in a breath, I turn

“Explain? Explain what, Nicholas? That you guys were about to fuck your ex wife?” I shake my head at them. “No, we weren’t. I promise you that we weren’t.” Nicholas pleads, nearing me. I back all the way away from them, all the way until my back is pressed against my car. I raise my hand, silently asking them to not get in my space. “Explain yourselves now, then. Or not at all. I don’t care anymore, guys. I’m over this shit.”They share a look, both visibly worried. “Sara asked us to come see her. She said it was really important. She wanted us to come alone.” Nicholas pauses. “And you listened?” I look away from them, shaking my head. I fucking knew it. I knew something wasn’t right. “We wanted to be there for her, Caroline. She’s our best friend.” Antonio says, trying to reason with me. I laugh humorously. “What a great best friend she must be for you to fucking kiss her.”“It wasn’t like that, baby. Please. Just let us finish explaining.”I shake my head slightly, but decide

And I truly believe that whatever the story is, there is nothing that they say that can explain or excuse their actions.How could they fucking cheat on me?“Finish the story, then. But here.”They share another look, only inches away from me, before turning back around and facing me once more. “We finally got in touch with some old friends from Italy. Well, more like old enemies. Their names are Louis and Levi. Twins, as well. They had worked for Demitri for a while, but had escaped his cartel after he slept with and killed their mother. They were devastated and had pleaded with us to join us. But we knew that would be fatal. Demitri would have retaliated. So we declined their request, but secretly, we helped them. We gave them what they needed to live life without feeling like they would be killed at any time.”“What does this have to do with anything?” I question, crossing my arms against my chest.“Sorry, I got sidetracked.” Antonio says, biting his lip before continuing. “Anyway

“She would kiss us, sure. But if she was lying about liking us, like we believe that she was, she would never go too far with us.”“So you guys went along with it? Another girl kisses you guys, and you guys think that this whole thing justifies cheating on me?” I shake my head at them.“Caroline. It wasn’t like that. We didn’t cheat on you.” Antonio pleads.“Are you serious? You guys kissed her! That’s fucking cheating.”“But we told you why. We told you the whole story. Please, forgive us!” Nicholas says, frantically wrapping his arms around me.I shake my head and push against his chest, wanting nothing more than for him to let me go. Wanting nothing more than to be away from them.“Let me go, Nicholas! I can’t forgive you guys. Not right now.” I sob, tears staining my cheeks.“I’m sorry, mi amore. I’m so fucking sorry. We thought only of getting the truth. We didn’t think this would count as cheating.”I shake my head, still pushing against Nicholas’ chest.“You didn’t think, that’

If I forgave them right now, I could heal, and we could all build our lives together. We could get Sara out of our lives for good, and never worry about her again. We could go through the next few months of my pregnancy together, happy. We could actually hold hands at the doctor appointments, and I could watch them put the nursery together for the twins. We could move into a new house, and forget all about this one. We could have the twins and then more and more and more kids, just like Nicholas and Antonio want. If I forgave them right now, we could live the life we had already started building.But could I really forgive them?After everything that they just did?Opening my eyes, I look at both of them. “I can't forgive you guys, not right now. You guys have officially broken my heart. You guys have broken me. I don't even know if I can ever really forgive you guys. Like truly forgive you guys. Maybe one day I will be able to actually find a way to not hate you guys for this. But r

“I don't know what our future holds, and I can't promise you guys anything other than letting you guys be there for the twins. But I need my space, too. I don't want you guys showing up to my place in the middle of the night. I dont want you guys trying to get in my pants. And, while i dont want you guys to, I wont control who you guys sleep with, even if it is Sara. I just don't want to know anything about it, if it happens. I'll give you guys updates about the twins, and about any doctor appointments. That's all I can do right now, okay?” The twins both nod, both looking mournful.“We will give you the space you seek, Caroline. But we will never, ever stop trying to earn your trust again. Okay? Because we love you. And we want our family to be together again.” Nicholas says, smiling meekly while crossing his arms across his chest.“And about Sara? We will never sleep with her. We will never even fucking touch her again. She's going to leave, we promise you that. There is no one els

Amanda is a fucking saint.My personal knight in shining armor.She arrived at my doorstep less than seven hours later, which is insane since the flight here from Seattle alone is around five hours.And she stopped at a convenience store first on her way here from the airport.When I let her into my home, she immediately wrapped her arms around me while I sobbed loudly.“Oh, sweetheart. Now i really am going to have to fucking kill those stupid assholes.”She ushers me into the house and closes the door behind us. “Okay, so I brought three different kinds of ice cream, as well as some brownies, chocolates, drinks, and some frozen pizzas.”Her words make me sob harder.“Oh, honey.'' She rubs my arm gently in an effort to calm my crying. “Okay, so you should sit on the couch and get started on this ice cream while I start the pizzas. I know you haven't eaten, and you may not want to, but those babies in there need some kind of food. So ice cream and pizza it is.”I cry even harder.“I s

They don't want me to leave for another three days, just so they can have me pumped up with drugs and speak to all of their expensive, annoying psychologists. They said they would only lift the hold and discharge me if a family member comes to get me. They don't want to be responsible for me if I end up trying to end my own life.”“You're coming home with me, rory. Don't worry, okay?”She goes to respond when the door opens with an audible click and the guard steps back inside. “Your visitation time has ended.”I dont move, instead I tilt my head at the guard. “Please have the doctor come and have them bring her discharge paperwork.”The guard shakes their head and instead simply walks back out, this time not even bothering to lock the door. “Should we run?” Cordessa asks, staring between me and the door.Laughing, I squeeze her hand with my own. “No, rory. No more running. From either of us.”She smiles up at me, her eyes still leaking fat tears.The process of getting Cordessa dis

“While you were busy looking for me, I was busy trying to forget about you.”Cordessas face falls, clearly not liking my words. Again, she tries to hide her face from me, so I turn it back to face me.“If i had looked for you, if i had kept an eye on you, then i wouldn't have been able to leave you alone. I would have reached out, and you deserved better than someone who could never be in your life again. You deserved better than what I could have given you then.”“And now?” she asks, her voice that of a child, full of both fear and hope.Stroking her hair from her face, I stare down at her with a smile. “Now, I'm going to take you home with me. If that's what you want.” She smiles widely, her smile so beautiful it throws me off. While I've always taken after my mom, she's always been more similar to my dad. Her smile is no different. It had always been our dads smile. “Yeah, I think I would like that. I hate being here.”I look around the room, realizing that the rest of the room i

As the guard walks to the door after searching me, I can't help but take a few calming breaths to try and ease my nerves.Im about to see her, my sister, after how fucking long? How in the world am I supposed to even feel right now?“You will only have about fifteen minutes with her until you will have to leave.” the guard says while unlocking and opening the door. I slide into the room, sucking in a breath when I see the figure curled up in bed.She's facing the window, her body wrapped around itself in the fetal position. Her sobs are filled with emotion, yet slightly muffled by her face being pressed into the thin pillow under her head.“Cordessa?” I whisper out, jumping slightly when the door closes and locks behind me.shit , i hadn't expected the door to be locked behind me.Fuck.Cordessa doesn't respond, likely not hearing my silent whisper over the sound of her own sobs.I take a tentative step towards the bed, towards her, feeling my heart break as I watch her break.“Rory

My mom grabs my hands and silently pulls me to the cabinets, the phone still pressed against her ear, her eyes wide. She slides open one of the cabinets and directs me into it. I climb in carefully, wincing as I feel the wood against my skin. I settle into the very back of the cabinet, my legs pressed against my chest, and try my hardest not to burst out crying. What’s going to happen right now? Why in the world are they here right now? “I’m going to put these pans and pots in front of you so that no one can see you. Okay?” My mom whispers. I can hear banging on the door, and my father yelling. “Mommy? What’s going to happen?” I ask, feeling a few tears begin to spill down my cheeks. “Nothing. The police are on their way, and will be here in less than five minutes. But I can’t let anything happen to you, my sweet girl. So stay in here, and don’t make any noise. And no matter what you hear, or see, do not get out of here until the police arrive.”I nod, taking a few deep breaths

“It's not your fault, daddy. Please dont cry.” i wrap my arms around him slowly, not wanting to hurt myself any further.He carefully hugs me back, his arms around my back very loosely so as to not move the bandages covering my skin.“I will never forgive myself, mija.”“Well too bad, because you haven't done anything wrong. And even if you had, I would have forgiven you a long time ago.”My mom joins us and sits next to me on the couch, fresh tears sliding down her face. “I am so happy that you are safe, corinna.”“It feels weird being back, to be honest.” I say, while leaning back against the couch carefully, wincing

Even after my mom told me that her father and his family were Greek, I never looked into it. I've always felt like if he wanted to have a relationship with either her or me, he could reach out to us himself. Of course, now he has no way of ever having a relationship with my mom.No one will ever be able to talk to her again.At least when I die, I'll be able to know that she died knowing that I loved her.“How can I help you?” the nurse at the front desk asks, staring up at me and the twins, who stand so close to me that I can feel their body heat.“Im looking for Cordessa Ayala.” I say, biting my bottom lip.She scrolls through a tablet in front of her.“And your relationship to the patient?” she asks, looking up at me.“I'm her sister.”She asks for my ID, and makes a visitor badge for me before staring at the twins. I immediately put the sticker on my shirt.“And you guys?” she asks, raising her eyebrow.“We are married to Caroline.” Nicholas says, crossing his own arms.“Unfortun

What the fuck happened?When I was out into the witness protection program, the only reason Cordessa wasn’t put in it with me was because she wasn’t even at the home with us.

She was only a year younger than me.When the car accident happened, and I was found, my parents had been so elated, so happy, that I was alive.A part of me had broken, but they had gotten me back.They had been planning on bringing Cordessa back home after everything settled down.They never got the chance.

“They? Who are you talking about, Caroline? And who is that on the phone? What’s happening, baby?” Nick asks, slipping off of the bed and coming to stand near me.I raise a hand up to him, silently asking for some space.“The men who kidnapped me. You guys said you knew where they were, that you guys had eyes on them. Is that still true?”They exchange glances, but I do not have time for that right now.“Please just answer the question, Nick. Please.” My voice cracks at the end, and I close my eyes for a moment, trying to keep the tears at b
