Separated?

Beatrice I sighed resignedly, something I had been doing quite frequently in the past few days, and continued typing the article for the newspaper, featuring the exclusive interview with my ex-husband. It seemed like a tasteless joke, but it was my reality, and I needed to pretend that everything was fine and move on with my life, even though I felt that nothing was really as I would have liked.I was trying to live without Edward, to overcome the deep love I had always felt for him, but it became very difficult when the universe seemed to conspire against me, and even my boss assigned me a task like the one I had carried out that day. Optimistically, I believe that was the last time I had to be with Edward. I had made it clear that it was too late to try again when there was no turning back.

Visit to Kent

Beatrice Edward didn't know about my move, so I had to call and inform him about it. At the agreed time, Edward showed up at my house, and together we headed towards Kent. Contrary to his previous promises, he avoided answering my questions, changing the subject and even making some jokes to distract me.I expected this behavior from him since I knew him well enough to understand that he wasn't prone to confessions and conversations about himself. Therefore, I decided to simply enjoy the ride, appreciating the scenery and responding to occasional comments about our childhood and adolescence together.I had imagined that our arrival would cause some kind of stir among the people present, but I was completely wrong. Everyone acted as if they were unaware of our separation. Although I didn't appreciate being the subject of com

A discomfort hung in the air as if there was an invisible barrier between us.On the way back from Kent, before I could open the car door for my wife, she was already getting out hastily. I noticed her hurry and commented:"You seem in a rush."I followed her towards the door of her house, trying to understand what was happening. Beatrice looked at me with a displeased expression that deeply bothered me. As she took out the keys from her purse, she said with some coldness:"There's no reason to prolong our conversation, Edward."

Leave Me Alone

Beatrice My life was taking unexpected turns, and work was no exception. Mr. Joel Smith, who had promised me the interview with Edward, had not fulfilled his part of the agreement. I was still stuck in my position as a gossip columnist for the newspaper. The disappointment in this situation was starting to affect me.I was surprised again when my boss called me into his office.

Hot Night

Beatrice I wished I could say no, that he had the opportunity and lost it, but I couldn't utter the words. There was a lump in my throat, my heart beating fast, and I felt a tremendous chill in my stomach, making me both apprehensive and expectant at the same time.Edward seems to have noticed that words failed me because he takes my lips by storm, kissing me with intensity, leaving me completely at the mercy of the sensations that were being awakened in my body.“Edward…” His name came out of my lips in an incomprehensible lament.I felt his hands move up to my neck, caressing that sensitive area, and then reach my nape, holding me firmly.

Misunderstandings

BeatriceI looked around my room, still stunned by everything that had happened in the last few hours.

I knew Edward would return to the room soon, and some intuition told me that he was telling the truth when he said that if I stayed lying down, we wouldn't leave the house that day.Unlike the last time we shared dinner, Edward took me to one of his favorite restaurants, an extremely luxurious place frequented only by London's highest elite.

Unpleasant Encounter

BeatriceEdward called me in the late afternoon, inviting me to go out for dinner again. Upon hearing his voice, my heart skipped a beat, and I found myself questioning if he was still upset about our previous conversation."I don't want us to stay in this deadlock," he said, his voice sounding soft and warm. "I'm trying to rebuild the marriage between us."I remained silent for a moment, pondering his words. I wasn't sure if I was ready to dive back into that complex relationship, but something in his sincerity touched me."Alright, Edward, I accept. Let's go out for dinner tonight."He seemed genuinely pleased with my response. This time, however, my heart was lighter. I wanted to give this fresh start a chance, and I hoped Edward was also willing to do so.In the evening, Edward took me again to his favorite restaurant, and the atmosphere was completely different from the last dinner.

The Return of the Rival

Edward A sense of total disbelief overcame me as I watched Beatrice simply leave the restaurant, giving me no explanation. She left me standing there alone, after the unfortunate way Louise questioned our relationship. Beatrice had never done anything like this before, and I could never have imagined that she would be capable of such an act.Despite feeling extremely irritated with her actions, I couldn't entirely say that she was wrong to do so. Louise had crossed all boundaries, questioning me in that way about something that was none of her business.“Why are you looking at me with that angry face, mon chéri?” Louise dares to ask me, pretending to be clueless.“Don't play dumb, Louise; it doesn't suit you. I must say I'm quite disappointed with your a
