SidneyI couldn't stand waiting any longer without knowing about Adeline, how she was and what she had. My body was sweating just remembering her lying unconscious. Soon, nurse Susana entered the room.“ How is she?"She's fine," replied Susana, approaching to change the serum.“ What does she have?“ Nothing else. She's fine, that's what matters,” he said.“ She fainted! Something she has.“ It's not for me to say… It's up to her alone.I was frustrated with this answer. She had no idea how panicked I felt when I saw Adeline passed out on the floor. At that moment, Carmelia arrived; it was my visit. I confess that this time I was happy to see her, because I was going to ask her a favor."Good afternoon," he said, entering the room.Susana greeted her and left, leaving us alone. She came closer and put her hand on my head, caressing it."Did you get what I asked for?"She smiled and showed the switchblade.“Why do you need this?"The bastard tried to kill me!" So while I recover, I ne
four months laterAdelineHe walked through the hospital corridors, making a point of seeing as many patients as possible, to occupy his time. I couldn't believe I never heard from Sidney again, he just disappeared without saying goodbye or saying where he was going. I discovered that I didn't know anything about him, I didn't know where he lived or who he was. I was six months pregnant and my belly was huge, it grabbed my womb; and I imagined my baby's face. The hospital was calm, as Sidney and Marck were no longer here to torment us.“ Good morning! he said, entering room number 5.“ My daughter, how beautiful you are pregnant! said Celeste, who was in the hospital again because, months after being discharged, she purposely threw herself on the floor and ended up breaking her hip, having to undergo surgery.“ Thanks. I smiled, running my hand over my stomach.“ How much time?“Twenty”five weeks.She was thoughtful.“Months?I laughed, finding it funny.“Six months and a week.“ Boy

Two days laterAdelineI was sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching television, while the day did not pass. I felt bored, as I wasn't used to doing nothing. My sister had left, leaving me alone with my kitten. She had the popcorn pot in her hand and was eating like a starving lioness; it was the way to relieve my stress of being so quiet. I looked at my puppy and saw that he was staring at me with his golden eyes; seemed to be protesting.“ What it was? Can't I eat? I muttered with my mouth full of popcorn; yes, I spoke to my kitten as if it were people. He climbed onto the couch and stood next to me; he approached my belly, analyzing it. “ New family member.The doorbell rang and I thought it was strange because my sister had a house key. “Did she forget?”, I asked myself, as I got up from the couch. I opened the door and came face to face with two huge men in black suits.“Miss Adeline?”“I am myself. Who are you? “ I questioned, strange, scared. Who could these two huge b
AdelineEarly in the morning, I was in front of the wardrobe looking for something to wear. I didn't know what, because I felt huge. My belly grew bigger and bigger and the clothes were too luxurious for my taste. I kept looking and picked a simpler, more comfortable piece. I wore gray sweatpants and a white short”sleeved shirt. I left the room and started walking around. I didn't go around it many times, as the house was huge and I got tired quickly, but I enjoyed looking at the works of art on the walls. Beautiful painting and decorative objects to the point of hypnotizing someone. I took a few more steps and saw a painting of a blond boy with caramel eyes, who couldn't have been more than five years old.“That's Sidney, when he was three.I looked at her scared, because I didn't see her coming. She still intimidated me."I suspected it was him.""Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.""Must be family." Your son, in the hospital, scared me every day when I approached him “ he said, l
SidneyThere I was, trying, once again, to approach her. Adeline was impossible! I also knew it wouldn't be easy, I knew she was going to disown me, and with good reason. I made a mistake, I didn't know how to be receptive when she needed me, but I was here now. She needed to understand that I wasn't going to abandon her, ever again.“Adeline, I will never leave life again. You and me; we are forever,” he said. She ignored me and continued to turn her back on me. It broke me. I was heartbroken, not for me, but for having made her suffer, for having been selfish when I had every opportunity to be happy with her. But I would reverse that, it was a matter of time before she took me back. I felt my cell phone vibrating and I already knew who it was. Without saying half a word, I kissed her cheek and left the room.(...)It's midnight and I'm at the place where I had agreed to meet Jorge, a deserted place with lots of trees. In fifteen minutes, a black car with tinted windows appeared. I g
AdelineI woke up with the sound of the shower running; it could only be Sidney taking a shower. This piqued my curiosity to want to see him completely naked. I had seen him before, but now it was different, because he was well and healthy.I got up and walked to the bathroom. I opened the door and there he was, in the middle of the shower. I could see its physical structure through the glass, which was obscured by the water vapor. I stayed for a while looking at him bathing with his back to me. I sighed, turning my head towards the mirror, taking in the view of myself. I walked over to the mirror, seeing my puffy face and frizzy hair. No way would Sidney see me like this! I immediately started washing my face and brushing my teeth before he finished his bath. Damn it, why did he have to shower in my room? I finished brushing my teeth and then did my hair, rather, I just applied the combing cream, leaving my curls more defined.“ He remembered? he asked, stepping out of the shower com
SidneyIt was in the hideout, a small old house made of wood. I was in the living room, thinking about the bastard; By now, he must have been in the hospital. He was grateful Adeline wasn't working so she would be away from him. I imagined how angry he must have been with me for having escaped; I couldn't be more furious. I picked up my cell phone and called my wife.“ Carmelia.“ Sidney?“I need you to meet me today, in an hour. Bring a gun.“ Deal! Because you need? “ It was strange.“ It's none of your business.Marck certainly had more interest in killing me than putting me in jail, so I had to defend myself. Not just me, but my family as well." Are you going to kill him?""Just bring what I said!" I'll give you the address. Don't delay.I gave him the address and turned off the phone. Of course, I didn't give the address of my hiding place, but a place that would be easy for her to find me and that didn't have much connection. Despite the fact that my network was pirated and my
EpilogueMarlonI get home and see Sasha sitting on the couch with a paper in her hand, she looked nervous and scared.“ Sasha…She looked at me and approached me, giving me a big hug. I returned the hug and gave him a kiss on the shoulder.“ What it was?She looked at me.“ I'm Pregnant!I couldn't contain myself with the news and I gave him a kiss, pressing his body against mine.“ Are you happy? “ She asked me distressed.“ Of course I am, aren't you?“ What if our son or daughter, be a…I put my finger on her lips, shutting her up, before she said anything stupid.“ He will be perfect, be beautiful, healthy and have lots of love…“ If you are like me?“ It will be even more perfect!She showed a smile and nodded. That smile was everything to me.“ I love you.” He declared.I took his mouth, plunging my hands into his hair. Our kiss was strong and intense, we could barely breathe. In one movement I took her into my arms, placing my torso between her legs. I walked to the stairs, bu
MarlonNancy once again left a plate of food and left. He treated me like those animals that carried out tests in the laboratory. She fed me, but tortured me, taking away my strength so I couldn't escape. He kept me alive to torture me. I had no idea of time or the day I was here, but it seemed like an eternity. I sit inside the cage, hugging my arms around my legs and resting my head on my knee, trying to maintain my sanity. At that moment I hear a noise, footsteps approaching me and a familiar smell. I look and I can't believe who I see in front of me. She, the woman who wanted to open my eyes so many times but I didn't listen, the woman who even though I doubted her, she came to me.“ Sasha! “ He said in surprise.She held the railing.“ Wow, what did they do to you Marlon?” Her eyes shone and she looked distressed.“ You have to get out of here! She's crazy, get out of here!” I said.“ No, without you...“ Go Sasha!“ No!She takes a hairpin out of her hair and tries to open the
SashaI wake up and get scared seeing Júnior in front of me, watching me. He looked distressed and furious at the same time. I faced him, lying on my back, waiting for him to say something.“ Have you spoken to my brother?I didn't respond and continued staring at him.“ Responds!“ No.“ Do you know where he is?“ How would I know, he is no longer my husband.Junior took a deep breath and rubbed his head.“ Why do you ask me about Marlon?“ Because I find it strange that he disappeared, on the same day that he left you! I find it very strange.“ How did it disappear? “ my heart accelerated, I didn’t understand what happened.“ I suspect he was kidnapped! He has been incommunicado for three days.“ What?“ And I suspect someone is involved in this! “ He looked at me seriously.“ Do you think I have something to do…“ just the day he separates from you he is kidnapped!“ I would never hurt him...“ Really? The scar he has on his abdomen, who made it?I looked away, how could he think s
SashaThe day passed and it seemed like an endless time, I felt lifeless, as if everything was black and white. I missed my home, Marlon... without him it felt like something was missing from me. I sit on the bed and pick up a book to read, I like to read novels. One of the nurses was kind enough to lend me one.“ Sasha…“ Mike! “ I say surprised looking at him. He was at the door looking at me with a smile. He came closer to me and sat on mine. In this hospital, men and women were all together. It was a happier place with good energy.“ Why are you here?“ I will be hospitalized for a few days, they are testing my mental state!“ What happened?“ Nancy, she’s alive! I saw…“ Didn't she die?I shook my head no and explained everything that happened. Mike opened his eyes, surprised by what I said.“ Of course no one would believe you? Nobody believes in people like us!“ I know…“ Marlon?“ We are no longer together... It's better that way. “ I wiped the tear from the corner of my eye.
SashaAfter a few minutes of waiting the event began. She was sitting next to Marlon, one of his hands was resting on my leg, crossed with the other, stroking it. I had my arm resting on Marlon's shoulder, while I saw Júnior receiving the award and giving a speech. He liked to give long speeches that sounded like a lecture.I feel Marlon's hand sliding up my inner thigh, teasing me. I pressed my legs, closing them more and preventing his hand from moving forward.“ Stop, Marlon! “ I sent.He showed a mischievous smile, staring at me, as if he wanted to tame me right now.“ It is serious!He put his lips to my ear and bit lightly.“ I told you that this dress would give you problems…I gave him a quick kiss on the mouth and got up from the table, forcing him to let me go before he did something crazy. I was already going crazy with his touch, that if he continued with these provocations I would end up giving in. I went to the bathroom, got myself together and touched up my lipstick and
SashaI look out the window at home, seeing Marlon getting into the car and leaving for work. I waited a few minutes and started getting ready to leave, wearing something simple and practical, leggings and a black t”shirt, sneakers and a cap. I called the taxi and asked it to take me to the address I had written down on the paper. I couldn't drive, because of my mental condition. It wasn't safe for me or others. The place was distant, it was far from the city, it took almost half a walk to get there. When I arrived in the neighborhood, I asked for a taxi to stop one block before the place. I got out of the taxi and walked to the place. I arrived and spent a minute looking at the house, Nancy's house. The house was made of wood, rustic style but it was beautiful and tall. I spent a while watching the house to see if anyone was in the house, but it seemed to be abandoned. I didn't know why I was here, but something told me that I had to come, I had to know more about her, because I saw
SashaI'm at home in front of the television, watching time pass. I try to forget what happened in a moment, but it's all well and good. It wasn't imagination! I saw someone came into my store and messed with my dolls. I really wanted to believe that Nancy was dead, but something told me no, I was terrified of that woman. She was so evil, that even if one day they told me that she died and was reborn from the ashes, I would believe it.Sitting on the couch, I press my hands to my dress, trying to stay calm, breathing deeply. At that moment II get up and go to the kitchen to take the medication, which my new psychiatrist had recommended to me. I had to take it twice a day. I'm starting to get bored, I was used to always keeping myself busy, it helped me scare away "them". I pick up a novel and go to the porch of the house and start reading."Sasha...."I hear the voice calling me again. No matter how much medication I took, there was always a voice calling me, it felt like it was my si
SashaAfter a weekend away from home, we returned to our routines. I took advantage of Marlon's ride to go to the store and he went to work. It was a beautiful day, sunny and people were walking around in the street. My store was in front of a garden, where children used to play. Before opening the store, I spent some time looking at the children playing, happy and radiant. Others were with their parents, the affection between them was so beautiful. I wished my adoptive parents were alive, they were missed to this day. I wish I had had a good relationship with Nancy, my…Sister. Even though I knew she was my sister, I couldn't feel affection for her, just pity. If she had told me right away that she was my sister, it would have been different.I turn my attention back to the store and open the doors. I go in and see that the objects are not the way I left them before. On the floor there were two dolls sitting in front of me, one blonde and one brunette, both with sharp eyes. I take a d
MarlonThe sun's rays come through my bedroom window, creating a pleasant breeze, I could hear the sea waves while lying in bed. I reach over to the side where Sasha slept, but it's empty. I wake up looking to the side and see that there is a note.“Love, I'm waiting for you on the beach"I got out of bed and looked out the window. She was lying in her thong, sunbathing. I spend a while appreciating her and she looks at me, lowers her sunglasses showing a smile. She bites her lip and with her index finger calls me to meet her.I show a smile and lip, appreciating that geisha who seduced me every day, I say goodbye with a look and go to the bathroom. I stand in front of the mirror looking at the scar on my abdomen, thinking about whether it would go or not. I put my hand on my head and breathe, then I decide I'm going. I put the indentrifocal paste on my teeth, wash my face and get ready. I go out onto the balcony of the house that directly overlooks the beach and see her coming out of
