All Chapters of Christmas Misery: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

[Christmas]I woke up Duke wasn't beside me. He didn't come home that's why it is just three of us in the dinner last night. The phone is on the top of my pillow waiting for his reply. I still did not get any from him since yesterday. I'm worried. I'm starting to overthink and I'm starting to freak out because Duke isn't like this. This is the first time he didn't come home without telling me the reason. I heaved a sigh and check all the messages I sent to him. I already tried to call him but he isn't answering my calls."Where are you Duke?" I asked in the air, looking at the beige ceiling. As much as I don't want to think any negative of his actions but I can't help it because this is not right. I trust him by he is the only one giving me reason to doubt him. I closed my eyes to calm my mind but I suddenly remembered what happened last night."Your husband might be busy that's why he didn't make it here. He

[Christmas]     It's been one week since I found out what really are the tablets I am always taking at the same time the vitamins I took when I am pregnant. It isn't an antidepressant and a vitamins but a damn fucking abortion pills and medicine that stopping me to get pregnant. I fisted my hand in anger on how could Duke gave this to me that time? He is worst than a criminal because he killed an innocent child–our child!      All my life I thought I really miscarried her but it was his fault. His fucking damn fault! I also goes to the house of my doctor that day to confirm if she really gave the vitamins to me and the antidepressant and I just found out she did not. That fucking asshole! Now I know why my doctor stop seeing me.Ding dong! Ding dong!“Wait a minute!” said of the voice from the inside.     I stopped pressing the doorbell and waited

[Duke]    It's already 8:30 p.m. when I decided to off in the company and I am now heading on my way home. I had been trying to call Christmas but she isn't answering her phone. I texted her too but she didn't reply that made me feel damn. I noticed that she is acting different lately that starting to freak me out. She isn't like this. Why all of a sudden? In frustration I drive fast my car and quickly goes out as I arrived. My forehead knotted when I see no lights in the house that made me run inside.“Christmas!” I called her as I opened the lights here in the first floor. I headed at the kitchen but it was clean and at the same time in the backyard. “Christmas!” I run in the second floor and headed to our room but I didn't see her as I opened the lights. “What the fuck? She must be home by now.” I said to myself and headed to the other room but she isn't really here.     When I remembered auntie goes he

[Carlos]I looked at her while we are having our dinner here in the dining. She didn't talk after I told her everything and became quite until now. I wonder what is running in her thoughts. Does she already believing me now or she still keep on denying at herself?"Don't you love the food?" I asked after sipping in my wine glass, "Don't you know this is the first food we ate in our first dinner before?" I added.Christmas dropped her utensils. "Why do you have to tell me that?" She asked, looking down at her plate."Because I know you are starting to remember," I answered, "Stop walking away on it and try to remember because that is your life.""There is nothing I remember." She raised her look to me. "Maybe you are right, I am her but it's not me anymore because I can't remember this and even you. I already had my life in Jacksonville with D-""With Duke? That man? For

[Carlos]We are here now at the entrance of Santa Monica Pier. When Christmas suddenly stop, I also stopped as well. She was staring what is written in the entrance seems she was have a thoughts of something. I want to read what is in her mind but I can't.This is the day I came again here and I'm happy that Christmas is the one that I am with. It is feels like just before and the same but it ain't. The place changed a little bit but the small amusement park, concession stands, and areas for views and fishing are still here. They stayed the same but she is the only one who changed."Is there something wrong?" I asked."I knew this place," she answered that made my hope alive."R-really? You knew this?""Yea, I saw this one of the movie I watched before. I just forgot the title." She chuckled. "I was only watching this place on a movie but now here I am. It's funny."
