DanaI watched in terror as Rachel approached me. Her steps were firm and determined.I knew she wouldn't hurt me in front of the police, but I could swear her words would be as poisonous as her intentions to keep me away from Demian. I didn't want to wait for her to reach me, so I moved my legs to walk away. But Rachel grabbed my arm and forced me to turn around."Long time no see, Dana!" she smiled falsely."Let me go, Rachel.""I'm not going to. We need to talk. We have unfinished business to settle because I believe there are promises you haven't kept.""I haven't done anything wrong," I excused myself. "I don't know what you're thinking, but I have nothing to do with Demian. I kept my promise and never sought him out nor did I intend to plead with him. I didn't even try to convince him again that you're a harpy."Rachel squeezed my arm and gritted her teeth."Don't you dare talk to me like that, do you understand?" she said through clenched teeth."I have to go, Rachel. Let me go
Dana Jeremy took my hand. We walked alongside Demian and Rachel. Demian pronounced my name authoritatively, stopping my stride. I turned around to look at him. "What do you want?" I asked. "Don't think it will end like this. I'll come to see you soon. We have unfinished business to deal with," Jeremy said. I looked at him one last time and saw Rachel. I knew her eyes wanted to instill fear in me, and they succeeded. Rachel didn't like that Demian wanted to see me again. I didn't want to add a response, so Jeremy and I went home. We took a taxi. It hurt to leave Demian there. It hurt to leave as if he were a stranger. Demian wasn't a stranger to my heart. My soul bled for not being able to be with him anymore. It had been a while since we parted, and I still didn't feel any improvement in my feelings. I suppose Demian would be a love I could never forget. And there was no one, not even Jeremy, who could take his place and make me feel what Demian did. Jeremy and I arrived home.
DemianI never thought I would come to blows with Jeremy. I didn't even when I found out he had fallen in love with Dana in the past. But seeing them together triggered all my aggressive impulses and my selfish side. I wasn't jealous of them, as I wasn't interested in being with Dana after what she did to me, but I was angry and didn't want to see them together.I knew Jeremy, and I were no longer friends, but this felt like betrayal. He was making a serious mistake and would regret it in the future. I hoped Dana and he wouldn't last in their relationship. I wanted it to end already.The police took us to the police station. I couldn't shake from my mind how Dana looked at Jeremy and told him she would get them out of the station soon. I saw concern in Dana's eyes.What did she feel for him? Was she in love with Jeremy? Did she love him? How did they fall in love?I couldn't stop thinking about Rachel either, as the police allowed me to make a call, and the only person who was there w
DanaI couldn't believe it. Waking up and realizing I was in a hospital room made me feel sad. I was aware that my health wasn't as it used to be, but I didn't think I would faint again. I swore I would take care of my children and myself, but I don't remember losing consciousness.The doctor entered my room with the results, but there wasn't much information. They didn't have an exact answer to my problems. But he told me something I already knew: a risky pregnancy. As the doctor spoke, I cried. I felt very tired and disconsolate.I wanted a hug from Demian. I mean... from Jeremy. Yes, from Jeremy.Why wasn't he by my side?The doctor left me alone. The room door opened minutes later, but it wasn't Jeremy. It was Demian. I asked him to leave and told him I didn't want him there, but he ignored me.I admit it: when Demian touched my hands. I felt an electric shock running through my entire body. For a second, I felt alive again, but I snapped out of my illusion and remembered everythi
Dana Impotence consumed me. I wanted to scream all the truths to that damn crazy woman. I would love for my father to realize the daughter he had close to him. Dad was always closer to her than to me. I wonder what my father would say if he knew the malicious actions of his daughter. I also wondered what Dad said when he found out about Rachel and Demian's wedding. The last time I saw my father was years ago when I married Demian. Dad introduced himself to Demian so he knew who he was. Knowing my father, I bet he was happy for both of them to get married. Like I said, Dad preferred Rachel. "Are you okay?" Jeremy asked me. When I saw him, I realized he was covered from the waist down with a towel. "I'm sorry. I'll go change in the room." I must admit Jeremy had an impressive physique. He was a very handsome man. But my mind still couldn't stop thinking about someone else. "Not so good," I replied. "Did Demian call you?" "Rachel," I told him. There was a knock on the door. Jerem
Dana Jeremy nearly gouged out Demian's eyes when he said he wanted us to go to California. Demian didn't know that I was forbidden from setting foot in my city again. His fiancée was to blame for that. "You're crazy," I replied. "Crazy? You're the crazy one if you think I'll leave you here while you're pregnant. You're not going to carry my children in your belly being so far away from me. I need to make sure everything is okay with the pregnancy." "You can find out through a message or a call." Demian chuckled. "And then? What are you going to do when our children are born? Are you going to live here and me in California? No way!" Live. A delicate word for me. Because of Demian, a curse fell upon me, and I had no idea how to reverse it. Demian wasn't even aware of it, and I didn't intend to tell him. After how he treated me, my assured death would bring him joy. Just thinking about it made my chest sink with sadness and disappointment. Anguish consumed me mercilessly from wit
Dana My blood boiled with rage. I wasn't going to let Demian get away with it. I quickly took my phone from my pants pocket and searched for his number among my contacts. Since we separated, I've wanted to delete his number, but I've never been able to because nostalgia prevented me. But today it served me to confront him. "You already know what's going on between us, don't you?" Demian answered. "How dare you do this, Demian? You're impossible! You surprise me more every day! Why are you doing this to me? Why do you hate me so much?" "It's not about hate, Dana. It's about what's best for our children. It's best for you to travel with me to California. If you don't do it willingly, you'll do it by force. My lawyer is taking care of everything. You know the power I have. I can snap my fingers and get whatever I want immediately. I advise you to find a lawyer." Jeremy snatched the phone from my hands. "Are you doing this for us? Are you forcing her to leave because of our relatio
DanaJeremy ignored me when I asked him to stop. He slammed the door shut and left, leaving me there alone. I didn't want to lose him, as he was the only person I had left.I stayed alone in the apartment, analyzing our recent conversation. I felt guilty, but I knew I wasn't. My decision was right and sensible. It scared me, but Jeremy had no right to be angry with me for that. He couldn't expect me to choose him to be the father of my children when he wasn't. I'm sure Jeremy would behave like an excellent stepfather, but it was Demian's role to be the father.I went down to work at the cafe. It was my turn to open it, so I got ready and arranged the tables and chairs. The customers didn't take long to arrive.I served the customers, begging for a moment of peace. My morning had just begun, and I was looking forward to my break. The conversation between Jeremy and me lingered. Soon, I would call Demian to tell him about the possible decision I would make to make peace between us.But
