A Touch of Madness 11
Everything in my body froze. My eyes widened to look at my son, who was staring at Sebastian with his big eyes.At the same time, Ace's crying subsided. He even immediately clung to Sebastian's leg.Sebastian released his embrace on my body and looked at Ace silently. I looked at him, his expression shocked, but there was another mixture that I couldn't decipher."Papa. .. buy me a train, will you? Please Papa...," Ace said as he pulled Sebastian's hand, asking for attention. His seductive expression appeared, and he blinked his blue eyes a few times; it was what he had always used to get someone to comply with his requests.Ten seconds...Twenty seconds.Sebastian was silent.I was silent, too. Frozen with my breath rising and falling. I wondered what Sebastian would do."Buy me a real train, Papa! Now!" Ace finally cried out in annoyance because Sebastian was silent. Ace went back to crying, rolling on the floor while shouting the word real train over and over again.A few seconds a

I sat on the sofa, linking my fingers, looking down at the police officer's room. I've been here for almost three hours, waiting for Vito with Stella, and Mommy. But there was no sign of Vito coming out of the interrogation room."Has this news reached your grandpa?" Mommy asked me."If there hasn't been a call from him then he still doesn't know," I answered quietly, wringing my fingers in agitation. "What if he doens't knows?" I asked her."Then he must be told," she replied. "Only he can provide a way out."I wasn't sure about that because Vito was the golden boy of our extended family because of his political connections that could make Grandfather increase his power. On the other hand, I felt Grandfather wouldn't be happy because Sebastian Sanchez had always been in the water in the desert for him. He wouldn't let that opportunity slip away. He'd probably let Vito go to jail somehow and lick Sebastian's boots to make my ex-bastard's ego happy.The door opened, and the attorney ca

I could hardly close my eyes, always open with anxiety and restlessness. My mind couldn't stop running. I was already wandering to images of Ace being snatched from my arms.I lay beside my son and held him, stroking Ace's thick black hair and handsome face as he slept peacefully. Can't imagine what would have happened to me if Sebastian had taken him away.Even my heart hurts now.I may not be able to breathe if the time came.I hugged Ace when the back of my eyes felt stung. I held it in because I didn't want to cry. If I cry, it wouldn't stop, and it would be a loud cry and disturb Ace. I didn't want him to see me crying. He would be sad, too.I kissed his forehead and held him while staring blankly at the blue window curtains in Ace's room. I'll be like this until my head is exhausted, and then sleep.But the vibration on my cell phone on the table made me pull my gaze towards it. What kind of crazy person calls at two o'clock at night? I sighed softly and moved slightly to reach

From: UnknownHow is My Princess doing today? Are you ready to surrender? Do I have to pick you up in a horse-drawn carriage?I read the message with resentment vaporizing in my chest. My heart was beating rapidly with annoyance. I deleted the message, and I am not replying to anything.The throbbing in my head became a terrible throbbing like there were a thousand needle pricks in there.I put down my phone, looked down, pressed my head firmly with my fingers. My eyes burned, and I cried out. There's no one here. Killian has gone home.And I can cry.I can scream.I do.Standing breathless, chest burning with emotion, I threw everything on my desk. Everything, including my laptop and my work tools. Everything was a mess as it fell on the floor.I collapsed on the floor, sat up and pulled my knees up to my chest.My head was buzzing.And I felt nothing a few seconds later.All I knew was the darkness that picked me up.***"I made you some honey tea, to calm you down. I hope it will m

People say we can't pin our hopes on someone. No matter how good they are. Humans are fallible creatures, and we can disappoint others unintentionally. We can also abandon others. Our hearts can flip. One second, we love someone. The next, we can hate them.So what can help? It's by not expecting anything from someone. I've done it before, and when it hit me my whole life, I was devastated. But I found hope in myself again, which comes from trusting myself and realizing that no one else but me can make me happy.Happy with someone else? That's a bonus.

A Touch of Madness 16 : High
"Are you still standing there until night?" Sebastian's voice was full of threats, but I didn't care.I'm still standing in the courtyard in front of Sebastian Sanchez's large and luxurious mansion. I've refused to enter since Sebastian's car brought me here. Sebastian passes through the large doors, shoving both hands into his pants pockets as he walks towards me. Narrowing the distance between us."Get in, Isa." he growled lowly.I shook my head, looking away as he approached. I really wanted to get away from him now because this was beyond what I had expected. Last night, he only said that I would be staying at his apartment, but this morning, he told me to get ready to take me to this place after Ace went to his school with his driver,He took me to his mansion. I would have been fine if we were in an apartment. It was in the middle of the city, and I could feel there was a lot of hustle around me, but this... this was far from the city. It was on the outskirts of the city and env

I opened my eyes, aches pricking my body. My eyes tried to adapt to the dim lights in the room. The lamp and the nightlight seemed to be turned off, with only sunlight coming through the gaps in the curtains.The smell of wood is the first thing I smell, and the dizziness in my head is not enough to make me lose my memory.I was still in this room, in Sebastian Sanchez's room."Ow, shit.." I pressed my head, remembering everything. What happened this morning... me and Sebastian's activities. Moreover, under the thick blanket, I was still wearing nothing.I pulled the blanket off, stepping down, intending to leave since Sebastian had already finished with our bussines. Ace must have gotten home from school by now, and he's looking for me. I can't stay here too long because if I don't watch him, he'll skip lunch and focus on his toys instead.But my body is too weak. I even wobble and fall to the floor. I can't stand up. My legs are too weak. Sebastian is a piece of shit. He really was
A Touch of Madness 18
Once again, the weekend of fun and tranquillity that I had enjoyed for so long no longer seemed to go the way I wanted. Because just as I started to take a hot bath in my bathroom, I had to accept the arrival of my cheeky ex-husband.I didn't know why he could waltz in, but there was no need because I just remembered that he had pulled my father to his side."Here you are, robbing me of my peace so easily." I muttered with sharpness.Sebastian was really something, and I wasn't even surprised anymore when he opened my bathroom and entered casually."Don't you know there's someone in the bathroom?" I asked him, curled up in my bathtub, staring at him intently."You're not coming home,""I've only been in my own home for two hours, and you set a time for me like I did for Ace? You're really unpredictable." I frowned. "And what do you mean by 'home'? I'm in my own home right now." I replied.He leaned his shoulders against the wall and folded his arms, looking at me flatly. I submerged m
