All Chapters of Captive in the Dark by my Ex-husband : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The doctor said that there was no improvement in my Dad's health. He was diagnosed with a subarachnoid hemorrhage and brain aneurysm. He spent the next 21 days in the ICU. It had never crossed my mind that he had this disease. Whenever we visit him in the Philippines, he was perfectly fine.We visit him only once a year and we are staying for a whole week. The last time we visited him, I noticed that he often had a headache but I never made a big deal out of it."Mom, when are we going to the white sands? And why is Grandpa always asleep? Is he very tired, Mommy? He's been asleep for awhile now! I never thought that's possible." Vendrick's voice had a hit of amazement.I smiled gently at him as I fixed his pajama."Do you always pray at night like what I told you?" I uttered in a soft voice.He nodded cheerfully. "You told me to pray for him so that he'll be awake very soon. Why can't we just wake him up, Mommy?" "We can't, baby. The only thing that we can do right now is to pray. An

I was checking my email while having my coffee in the morning. The calm sea was my view on the balcony. I read the new email I have received.I would like to arrange an appointment to discuss about my home renovation. Please, would you indicate a suitable time and place to meet? It would be more convenient if we'd meet around Makati City. I am looking forward to hearing from you and arranging a meeting. Thank you!Best regards,Amelda Torres SalongaI put down my coffee to type a message. Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, I'm currently on a vacation for a month here in Belleza Eterna. However, if you are available in the following weeks, I would be glad to arrange a meeting with you. I would be available to discuss about your home renovation on September 08 (Saturday) at Benjarong Thai Restaurant at exactly 6 pm. Yours truly, Ar. Taliyah Lavianna Monselorette I saw Fely on the garden when I went outside. She was talking to a thin boy. When the boy faced in my direction, I c

"Sandro is on his way here. He will send you home." Nabrel's voice was serious, not looking at me. His eyes were focused on his plate as we had our breakfast.I pouted, nodding my head slightly. I was wearing my red sweaters which Minda had washed already. If I was insane, I would probably steal all his clothes and bring them home. There is something comforting about being able to get a whiff of his clothes. It's calming... comforting... And aside from that, I rock his clothes more than I probably should. Thank God the rain has stopped and the sun has already come out. The warm and vibrant light of the sun made its way inside the room through floor-to-ceiling windows. He brought foods in his room and we ate together. We were both silent. I was glancing at him as I sipped on my coffee.He was wearing a dark blue sleeveless shirt and white shorts. Muscles rippled under his shirt. My gaze dropped to his powerful chest. As much as I did not want to, my eyes stared at it longer than I

I don't know if I was already tipsy or worse, drunk. I could not comprehend the things around me anymore. All I wanted to do was to find out what they were doing inside and why they were taking so long so come back!I knew damn well that I should not give a fuck about things like this but I just can't sit on that fucking chair while a small voice kept on whispering inside my head. I swear, I will go crazy.What were they doing? Really, Nabrel? While your celebration is ongoing? While your guests were outside... and you were here... with that woman...My heart felt so heavy in each step. I was breathing so fast and hard that I thought I am going to lose my balance. I felt the tears forming in the corner of my eyes.I was fuming mad. That is all I am sure about.I went to the dining area. There were some waiter in there, preparing some foods. I immediately turned around and left the place when I did not see them.I bumped into Minda who was holding a tray. She had a huge smile on her li

"Did you enjoy your few week of vacation in here?" Davien's voice was cold. That was the first words he said when we started eating.I quickly glanced at him from my plate. We were sitting across each other. I was silent the whole time and I am sure that he was watching me.When I got home few hours ago, I did not say anything to him and neither him. He was silent when he saw me but I could feel that his attention was on me. The only words he said was when he called me to eat and after that, he left."Of course." I even smiled at him. But he did not have to know the reason behind my smile.Vendrick was already in his room and sleeping. He was already sleeping when I got home. I did not expect that he brought the child with him. Fely just mentioned that the kid was upstairs and sleeping because he was tired from playing at the shore. The maids were outside now so Davien and I were the only person in the dining area.Even though I was tired, I told Nabrel to send me home. He wanted to g
