Beatrice Inside Sebastian's car, I noticed he was looking directly at my face as if searching for something."What were you doing on the restaurant sidewalk?" he asked, showing both concern and joy. "Especially alone!""I was looking for a taxi," I replied without going into further details."Were you crying?" he asked, furrowing his brow.Upon hearing his question, I remembered that I had indeed let a few stubborn tears fall down my face, and that fact now left me quite embarrassed."I tripped and almost twisted my ankle, but I'm fine, don't worry," I blatantly lied. "I can't believe you're in London and didn't contact me, Sebastian."I quick

EdwardI opened up my heart to Beatrice, at least about the feelings that had been consuming me since I realized the mistake I made in neglecting my marriage and allowing my wife to reach the point of asking for a divorce. But there were some things that Beatrice wouldn't want to know at all, and those were better kept secret, as nothing good would come from their revelation, and I fervently hoped that my wife wouldn't press me for answers to certain tricky questions. But it was clear from the look she gave me that her feelings were confused; she was puzzled, not understanding what was going on, besides the insecurity that was always present whenever we talked about us."I understand your suspicion, my love," I thought it best to say. "I can't expect you to believe me, to change everything again, but I hope we can come to an understanding."Beatrice withdrew from me, turning her back and trying to create as much distance as possible in that tiny room. This left me frustrated, as she c

Beatrice I feel a warm, firm body next to me in bed, and even though I'm already awake, I keep my eyes closed, just to enjoy a little more of the intimacy of this good moment.“You've been so lazy lately," I hear Edward's amused voice, still husky from sleep. "It's already past eight o'clock, dear."That information catches me completely off guard, and I open my eyes immediately, truly startled by the lateness of the hour.“I can't believe it!” I say hurriedly, trying to get up.Edward, however, holds my hands and stops the movement, keeping me captive in his warm embrace, close to his soft and wonderfully cozy body.“We still have some time," he says, and I feel h

BeatriceI had been feeling terrible since the conversation with Andrew in the morning, and nothing managed to distract me from the guilt that haunted me all day. I ran my hands through my hair and then brought them to my face, hiding it from myself, as I was alone in the small room."What am I doing with my life?" I murmured to the walls. "How can I be so... foolish!"I was angry with myself for always letting Edward influence me. Even though I still loved him, I shouldn't let myself be convinced so easily.I couldn't stand staying in that room tormenting myself anymore and decided that taking advantage of the fact that there was only half an hour left until the end of the workday, I would leave immediately.With the decision made, I jumped out of the chair, my irritation reaching its peak. After grabbing my bag, I hurriedly left the room. I wouldn't wait for Edward to come pick me up. I wouldn't allow him to provoke more tension, in case Andrew also met us at the newspaper's exit.I

Beatrice Even though it was already lunchtime, I decided to go to Lucy's office, perhaps I would still find her at her workplace. I had an important work-related doubt that needed to be resolved.Upon arriving at where her desk was located, I found the space empty. I was about to immediately return to the hallway when I noticed some voices coming from the slightly ajar door of Mr. Smith's office. I quickly identified them as the voices of Lucy and our boss, who seemed to be having a conversation. I couldn't just stand there, because if Lucy returned to her desk and saw me listening behind the door, she might misinterpret my presence.However, upon hearing my name mentioned by Mr. Smith, I became completely attentive to their conversation."You also inform t
