I open my eyes and see my husband’s eyes are on me; he is peering at me, his facial expression is the same as always, the blank one. His gazes are drawing a map all over my face. Sometimes his gaze stops here and there, zone out at my eyes or lips before resuming the art once again.
I don’t know what’s going on inside his head, but I know he is studying, three lines appear on his forehead and prove my assumption right. He is in deep thought. Is he thinking about Olivia or Samantha?
I can understand if he is reminiscing about Olivia. They were together for a long time; they have a history, her sudden death may be left a scar on his heart, he even confessed about proposing to her for marriage. I respect that. I like his integrity towards her; I don’t want to fight with Olivia; she has a place in his heart, and I am okay with that.
But if it’s Samantha, I am going to lose my mind. That girl slept with my father,
“Let’s swim.”“No way.”“Come here, talky. You are wasting our time.”“I am not going anywhere near water.”“Seriously, Inessa. I never think of you as a party popper.”“Ha, I am not. I just like to stay dry. You can go feel your adolescence in the water.”“I am going but I am taking you with me.”“Brian McCoy, you better stand back. Don’t you dare to come near me? Go away, you filthy gigantic humanoid ”“Let’s dive into the water, honey.”“Brian, you fatuous man. Did you just put me on your shoulder like a cave dweller? The damn. Did you just spank me?”“Shut it, let’s drive into the blue ocean.”“I will die. Dear world, today is my last day on this planet. Please, be familiar with my murderer. He is none other than my husba
“We are here.” Even texts me during lunch.“See you, guys, tonight.” I text him back.I am a pretty social individual; I have thousands of opponents, but I have more allies than that. Every vacation I spent in my life, my friends were constantly with me. Being on this trip without them at first felt weird.It is the first time. Even when I am not in Chicago for work, one or two of my friends are with me as they also work with me. They are my clients or investors. Therefore, I am never alone on trips.Olivia never objects when our friends accompany us. She was more than thrilled to embrace them. Moreover, there was nothing intimate or romantic between us. Maybe that’s the reason we were both or comfortable having our friends with us.I don’t have a clue how Inessa will react to this decision, though. I mean, the last two days were great. We were chatting, giggling, strolling around the islan
This man, this bloody fellow, has the audacity to snuggle with a woman in presence of my eyes. Wow, he is worst, worse than my papa. At least papa did everything behind his wives’ backs, nobody know about his crummy job until he appealed for a divorce from his wives.That’s better, occasionally it’s convenient to remain blindfolded, you don’t need to identify everything in your life or every detail of the surrounding characters. It will make our life way more easy for us.The further we know the rough side of the person beside us, the better we seek to get away from that person, even if we love that person from the bottom of our souls.Love can’t prevail against everything. Sometimes the demon inside us triumphs over the love unless we are strong enough to fight back with the same intensity and courage. For many people, that’s a hard job to do, that’s why love always takes setbacks soon or later.
8 November 2020 Sunday, 4 am. Zoom meeting between Brian McCoy and psychiatrist Dr. Mia Smith.“How is married life behaving towards you?” Mia asks.This is the first time I am having this session with her after my marriage, I became busy and missed at least two of my appointments with Mia. Also, I need to stay in London for a specific time. First, I thought I would be done in a day or two, but now it is a week.Honestly, I was more than happy when I missed those appointment dates; I recall having an evil smile paste on my face. Just like the kid who doesn’t want to go to school and finally succeeds in taking a day off for a garbage reason.I must say I enjoyed this break from Mia a lot, even though the rest of the trip was a kind of going to the gutter at the end.I am here working my ass off on this business deal; I need to excel in this, no matter what. My want for achieving perfection is getting worse da
It’s been a week since I came home, a week since I last saw my moron husband, a week of loneliness, this is the longest time I have stayed at home alone.I should resume my work, lead on the new project that I have thought of doing for a long time now, but I can’t. No matter how hard I tried to emphasize it in my work, it’s just not working. I need to arrange an event for securing the fund that we need to build shelters for women.There are a lot of women on the road, they can use the housing as a temporary solution for them until they find something appropriate for themselves. A refuge camp for all kinds of women where we will help them to find their life back, an auction will be enough to collect the money.I want something different kind of event to organize, these dances, or not a regular auction, something fun and where people will have no problem shower their money.The problem is I am having trouble with my
“Did you find the guy?” I bark on the phone as soon as my brother Owen calls me to update me on the present hazard situation that we are going through.The top floor where all our sibling’s offices are located was in the fire a day ago, some important document for the next board of meeting had been snatched from my desk drawer, someone hacked Viola’s computer took away information for a forthcoming auction bid that our company is expected to involve, Owen’s computer has been destroyed which cause us to miss the latest flies of the London project that we are working on.It seriously injured three of my employees in this fire. They are in hospital but out of emergency. I am just gratified that no one is badly wound, although the fire was severe enough to cause some deterioration that happened.The particular information I know all about this sudden chaos is that Nathan fucking Hall is the one liable for this and
“I am sorry.” “I am so sorry.”He said the words, everybody, the Chicago no, this time I should go for a bigger crowd, all the people around the globe. If you have ever met or known the great Brian McCoy, I want you to acknowledge that he said sorry to me tonight a few seconds ago. In the dark bedroom, with the tiny bit of moonlight in serene surroundings, he said those words. He expresses regret for hurting me, and believe me, this is the happiest hour in my twenty-year life.I can’t waste this time at all, I need to make sure or at least do something to preserve this moment; I know this kind of moment is rare and will never come back again. Maybe this is my once-in-a-lifetime kind of phenomenon. I can’t let this go this easily. It will be a waste then.I pick my phone from the nightstand and open the voice recorder, and hold it in front of Brian’s mouth.“Say it again.”
Maria comes to visit me with Hazel and Miles. Hazel has been here before a couple of times when Brian was in London. Hazel even remained with me a night, but this is the first time Miles and Maria have visited me in my new house.Miles launches himself in my hug as instantly as he steps out of the elevator while Hazel lies down on the couch with her phone. I kiss all over my cute puppy-eyed face of my little brother. It’s been a month since I was with him again. This is the longest time we stayed away from one another. I can’t convey my happiness in words.“Where is Brian?” Hazel asks.I am playing with Miles on the PlayStation, it’s always our thing. The game invested both of us. The appetite for scoring the game is so strong inside us that we forget the world when we start playing. Sometimes we forget that we are siblings, the competitiveness helps us. We both are determined to win, it’s on our blood w
