BEAUTIFUL SAD MEMORIES

As Thea was familiarizing herself with the boat of intense pleasure and satisfaction, as she was sinking deeper into the world of pleasure with her husband, she heard a very annoying and familiar sound......It was a knock on her door.

With obvious displeasure written all over her face, her half-closed eyes fluttered open as she surveyed her surrounding.

After observing the familiar room for what seemed like ages, she let out a disappointed grunt.

She was clearly disappointed.

It turned out that she was dreaming. The pleasure and satisfaction that she was experiencing a while ago, were all in her dreams.

She was reliving her past life. But this time, she was reliving it in dreams.

After thinking about the contents of her dream, Thea felt like slapping herself.

She felt silly and embarrassed. But is only fair that way? She had to collect herself and move on with her life.

' You will never learn Thea, will you? When will you ever wake up? Are you that thick-skinned or you are just pretending to be? Or are you that stupid?

You know that you have been hiding from reality all along right? You have been hiding from the fact that he never loved you. You are afraid of facing it.

Sooner or later, you will have to accept your fate.

Love? Does that word even exist in his mind?

Lovemaking? who told you that what you were doing was lovemaking? Or is that the definition that you have for the word making love? Well, I am sorry to burst your bubble but that is not what we call making love. What you were doing was f**king. Yeah! get that straight.

Other than the object of sexual pleasure and satisfaction, you have never held any position in his life.

What he wanted was to satisfy his sexual needs and you appeared when he needed an outlet, how handy! '

As Thea was blaming and berating herself mentally, she was frustrated. She balled her hands into fists but it was not working, nothing was helping. She felt hopeless and useless. The self-mockery was like a knife slicing her already broken heart into pieces.

Her thoughts flashed back to two years ago when it all started and she lifted her nightgown, exposing the ugly scars that maimed her beautiful and flawless thighs.

With a cold and indifferent look, she caressed those scars with her long and slender fingers pressing harder on the prints as if she was scared that the scars would vanish into thin air.

Two years ago.

She didn't know how to describe her two years of marriage to Gael. They should have been the happiest years of her life right? Happy and blissful years brought to her some ugly and beautiful scars, no?

In the huge metallic doors, A very beautiful girl could be seen walking elegantly to the alter with her uncle on her left side, with happy smiles plastered on her face.

The girl had the most beautiful smile that has ever been seen.

Every step that she took was adorned with elegance and style.

Walking to the altar, people were fascinated by her. They could not take their eyes off her.

Her beauty was compelling, coupled with her hourglass figure, one word was enough to describe her, 'Mysteriously beautiful'

She was like the beauty goddess, descending to earth to reclaim her already established position.

As Thea was walking to the altar, she could not believe what she was seeing. She could not believe that finally, she was going to marry the man of her dreams, Gael Weston.

For a second, she even thought that she was dreaming and she pinched herself to confirm her analogy. But she felt the pain, she was not dreaming, she was marrying the celebrated young and handsome CEO of the business world.

He was a business guru and genius. He was every girl's dream man and Thea felt lucky to be marrying him.

She felt accomplished. She felt like she was bringing the nation's treasure home.

Lost in the wing of fantasy and admiration, Thea was brought back to reality by what she thought was the sexiest voice she had ever heard.

His voice was manly and deep, compelling you to involuntarily listen to it. Thea was not any different, she was totally charmed by the adonis before her. Her whole body wanted to worship him. She wanted to worship the place where he stood.

And the contents of his speech? his words were like fireworks, bringing light and radiance to Thea's dull life. Making her believe in the world of possibility and eternity.

' I Gael Weston, accept Thea Daniels as my lawfully wedded wife. To love, cherish, protect, and respect. I promise to always be on her side, in happiness and sorrow. In richness and poverty. Till death do us part. Today I am the happiest man in the whole universe for having Thea Daniels as my bride'

As she recalled all this, Thea's shoulders were shaking and hot and painful tears were rushing from her eyes, reminding her of everything.

'So, he was lying. His moving speech was a lie. And I was stupid enough to have believed him. I fell for his lies.

To love, protect and cherish? it was nothing but a lie.

What happened to 'he was the luckiest man in the world?' it was a lie!

What happened to till death do us part!'

The room was filled with sad and quiet sobs, Thea could not control her tears anymore.

Lost in her crying, Thea was brought back to reality by louder knocks on her door and she immediately knew who it was.

Raising her weak and shaky hands, Thea grabbed a couple of wipes from the bedside table and wiped her face meticulously getting rid of any evidence of her crying some minutes back.

Thea was a prideful woman and she could never allow anyone to witness her vulnerable self.

Plastering a fake smile on her face, Thea took some deep breaths and walked for the door......
