Chapter 71: Punishment

Just when it started to settle down, I was taken away from you because of your mistakes.~~~~~~~~~Ruben glanced at the file in front of him. His hand trembled momentarily, holding the file and reading the document’s heading.DIVORCE AGREEMENT“Is there anything you want, Mr. Rodriguez?” The attorney added with a calm voice. He did his work at his best. After all, he was the one who made the contract for Ruben to get rid of Arlet in the time of the crisis and make sure she left him after Raya.A wounded heart wanted to protect itself. Some decisions were taken in haste and were now ready; he hated he had to put it out this way, but naïve Arlet didn’t read the terms and signed it.“No, you may leave,” Ruben answered dryly. The attorney stood, fixed his blazer, and clutched his executive briefcase.“Mr. Mark,” Ruben called him again.“Make sure you don’t tell anyone why I called you here,” with a curt nod, the man agreed to the verbal terms and left the room. It’s been over six months s

Chapter 72: The lost one

Never has he ever felt that inquietude what he is going through now.~~~~~~~~~~~“Raya, what happened?” The panic projected in his core, listening to her ululate. He could only hear her cries and the garrulous was helping it, either.“Daddy, Mommy is not here?” Magda took the phone from her hand and replicated the scene in one breath. Ruben hopped out of the car and raced to look for Raya. Every emotion inside him had heightened enough, and the apprehension he was sorrowing from that moment was of a new tangent. What would have happened? She was fine a few moments ago, and where did she go?He has treated her at his worst, but she took everything, embraced it, and gifted him back with love and care. If she left him today, he could never trust anyone. His heart thudded in his ribcage, and his mind was about to burst with all the possibilities of her disappearance. He needed to calm down and check what had happened out there.“Raya,” he kneeled immediately, watching the crowd circling

Chapter 73: Love, confession and confusion

They can’t stand each other just because they both love her. ~AUTHOR’S POV~ ~~~~~~~~The reeking airbrushed her nostrils. Arlet blinked her eyes several times when she saw a white light hanging over her head. The luminous glow and the exhausted body reminded her she had fought well enough to get these bruises marking her body and filling the pain inside it. When she returned to unlock the car, someone cupped her mouth from the back and dragged her towards their van. He lifted her over her shoulder and threw her into the back of the van, making her body hit hard, she struggled when they tried to slam the door and kicked, but the man leaned over and slapped her hard, not just once but thrice. Every slap on her cheeks was enough to take away the consciousness but capture the memory.The man was wearing a black mask, and there was nothing she could remember to know anything about him.With heavy eyes, she dropped back into the van when the two of them changed t

Chapter 74: Have a taste of despair

Just have a taste of despair.The way his soul trembles when she chose him rather than him.~~~~~~~~~~~The crude light entering through the cupola and mullion’s shadow forecasting on her frame implied it colonized her back to her previous position, shackled to the chair. She looked around to observe the place, only to find it was an abandoned barn and the hope of finding someone instantly died when she looked out of the broken window glass. She was in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by the green shades of the blanket.A translucent tear fell from her eyes when she sensed an eerie presence behind her frame; the air went cold, and the goosebumps forewarned.“Good morning,” the same crooked teeth feasting on a burger. She could taste the air of the burger on her taste buds. It’s been over sixteen hours since she had nothing. Her bladder was screaming with pain, and so was her belly. Her mouth still had the dry, blood-metallic taste, but the man standing before her was holding somethin

Chapter 75: Cuddle

“Where were you?”- And there his world stopped.~~~~~~~~~~~“Did you find something?” Kathrine exited Arlet’s room. Her torn, mucky clothes told the truth she had mourned in these last few hours. Desperately waiting outside, Ruben skimmed at her, sizing up in despair.“I don’t know.” “How is she?” Kathrine projected a low gust and stepped close to him.“Still unconscious, but I am glad you found her before anything bad happened. I am wondering who would want to hurt her?” They turned, and he circled the perimeter of the railing, tungsten his head, watching Michael, Kathy, Brayan, and Raya waiting silently.He asked himself: Who would want to hurt her like this? Why would someone want to be brutal with an empathetic person like her?“It was Milo who found her.” Even if it hurts, he has to abide by the truth. It was only because of Milo. Arlet was safe, napping inside. His glossy eyes flickered. There was nothing left to add here. Kathrine hugged him as if he needed to know someone was

Chapter 76: That misleading heart

And that’s the problem with a bleeding, loving heart.It misreads the care as love, and closeness as….~~~~~~~~~~~~Ruben shut his eyes only to see her bewitching azure orbs filled with tiny precious crystals. He saw the tear make its way towards her cheeks and disappear as it painted pink on her glossy lips. Her thick lashes were numb, and those sparkles were dimmed, asking him the same question.“Where were you?” Those eyes always showed hope, and scintillated were drowned with disappointment.“I was scared.” the failure of not finding rolled down, and an urge to not stop that tear on its way surged in his chest.“You lost me.” with those words, she stood and stepped back.“Arlet...” he called, stretching his hand, but she was not ready to accept it.“No more games, Ruben,” she eluded with those tears, and the freedom she found drifting away from him was well written on her face.“Come to me; where are you going?” he followed her, but in what seemed an eternity, his hand gripped her

Chapter 77: One last prayer

Ask, and it will be given to you.Knock, it will be open for you.And seek, you will find it.~~~~~~~~~~~~The morning strikes on the sheer curtain, but not the shimmering lights; instead, the roaring clouds brought the brisk water pouring on the windowpanes. Ruben fluttered his eyes and welcomed the gloomy weather flaring its arms outside the window. The splattering of water scrubbed everything and made him ponder to look in the direction where his eyes always used to find Arlet.But she was not there, nor was the residual of her presence. Her bed was made, and cushions were arranged perfectly on it. Ruben stroked his face down through his hands and heaved a low breath. His side of the bed was cold, but it felt barren today when she decided to get up and suffer alone in her despair. His feet unintentionally made their way toward the couch, and his hand extended to clutch a cushion.Her fragrance still lingers on it, questioning why he didn’t respond to her back. He was scared to argu

Chapter 78: Simply love

He loves her… she loves him…But the story is not simple to understand.~~~~~~~~~~~~The gloomy clouds stopped pouring the water and let those little shimmering lights pass through them. The soil seemed to its richest tone, having bathed in the rain, and the little puddle built its own reservoir to hold the habitat of tiny creatures.“Mommy, it stopped raining. Can we go out?” Raya loomed over the window, intently looking towards the Gazebo they used to sit in and enjoy the view. Raya turned, and a smile knitted on her frown face, watching her mom was ready to spend time with her with canvas and colors.“Wow, we will paint,” her applause resonated in the room, followed by a chuckle. Ruben saw Arlet was trying to ignore his presence. And why wouldn’t she? He has done nothing good to her. He stood there watching these beautiful girls wandering towards Gazebo through a gravel pathway. His eyes are fixated on Arlet, who is trying to get rid of his lingering eyesight as far as possible.“M

Chapter 79: Stabbed

He trusted him, but his actions speak more than his words.~~~~~~~~`Meetings after the meeting, Ruben got invested for the entire day. The evening comes earlier than expected. There was no such news from the kidnappers, but it somehow excites Ruben to see how Arlet and his relationship took recent turns after this incident. Thanks to Brayan, who pushed Ruben to pursue his feelings, but they also needed to talk to Miles. Glancing at the laptop screen, Ruben saw the time for the third time in the last few moments.“Is everything alright with him?” With a slight frown, he questioned Brayan, who was busy arranging the documents. Brayan looked up to answer his terms, but his eyes landed on the ajar door where Miles was about to step in.“We have to talk to him after this,” Ruben looked over his shoulder and watched Miles entering with a vague demeanor.“Hey, Miles, how’s everything?” he dropped his shoulder and, with arched brows, skipped Ruben’s concern and answered Brayan.“Can we finis

Chapter 80: His kind of love

His kind of love surfaced when she challenged everything that existed beneath his heart, and not letting him breathe.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~His side of the bed was cold as if there was no proprietor of that place. He is married yet isolated on the bed. His eyes hovered over the silent frame, tossing here and there over the couch. She didn’t utter a word for the entire ride, but something in her throwing implied the trouble she was handling in those moments. He saw how her breath hitched when she saw him. Putting a face over her fear was not easy, but knowing it was a man she knew was the most hurtful thing. There was anger, but the detriment of broken trust sailed in her eyes when she found out it was Miles. When Milo declared the reason, he wanted to punish Miles, Ruben saw the utter state of shock well written on her face.The man himself never treated her as a wife, so how can others will give her the same respect she deserves?The moments had passed when she slept, leaving him cold, su
