Chapter 2

The mid-afternoon sun was very pleasant and warm as spring was about to arrive. But I was feeling very hot and uneasy for the entire morning. And I decided that the workload was catching up with me because of which I was getting panic attacks and my body was overreacting.I was walking down the stairs as I had very little time for my lunch I had to get back to work and finish up the news that was supposed to be printed in the next day’s paper. And the reason why I had come out to have lunch was that I was annoyed with the piled-up work on my desk and I direly needed some fresh air. I had been sulking under the paperwork for about a month and still, there were lots of things that needed my attention so I decided to take the pending work home and complete it.I ordered some white pasta and wine to go with it. I usually never had wine during working hours but the work pressure was killing my head and I had to relax or I would go mad. I looked around the café while I waited for my order.

I was happy but in the deep corners of my heart, I knew I was not ready but it has been a while since I started dating him so it was expected Don wanted to take things to the next level and I knew he was being sincere. After we had a long talk I agreed and decided we will give some more time and think about how it works before we decide on a marriage date but first I had to be sure of my feelings.

 "Carmen................" Cathy started but then she looked at me hesitantly. Okay now I was really nervous. This conversation is getting more dangerous.  "Cathy what is it tell me." I asked anxiously. My hands were sweating and I felt like something is not right.I looked at Mathias but he was looking at his mother."Mom you needd to tell her." Mathias insisted.Cathy sighed and said. “He's dying,” Cathy whispered. “Dying, Carmen.”For a few seconds, I just stood there staring at the window shocked and shaken, making my stomach clench. Different kinds of emotions were churning inside me. I did not want to be vulnerable like the way I had been six years back. I tried to block away all those insults that were thrown at me. And the words triggered in my head " He is Dying.." I moved a step behind nervously.“What do you mean?” I could barely

It was the ring given to me by Don after he proposed me that day. And I didn't have the heart to remove it. As we were about to get married.  “You can't wear that........If he saw that.” Cathy groaned. “I am engaged to be married,” I said stubbornly. Cathy looked distraught and said, “Carmen don't you understand he thinks you are still together. ”“Well, he's wrong then. “I said firmly.“You've go

What a day! I sighed audibly as I washed the dishes. I would have to meet Don as soon as I had my bath and ring Mathias about the arrangements that he has made for me to travel to Milan. I am really glad he took the initiative as it would save my time. Don, as I had expected was not happy about my decision to go to Milan, “Are yousure you haven't the smallest feeling for Marc anymore? I hope you don't want to get back together with him again?” He grabbed my shoulders his eyes searching my face for some hint of my thoughts.“Don't be an idiot sweetheart, I hate that men, can you honestly think that I have any reason to want him back again, he deserted me one year after our marriage and left me to bring up my son entirely on my own.’“Are you forgetting something?” Don said gently. “ your husband does not know about Tio's situation and I feel quite sure from what you have told me about him

 I 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.

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.
