The Legal Wife's Return Chapter 44
Glancing at the clock beside the bed, I saw that it was 9:00. Reluctantly I got up and showered, dressed in cream color linen dress with a covered Collar brushing my sleek long hair into a knot which I pinned with trembling fingers.Ada looked at me expressionlessly, when I descended. “ Tea and lasagne? She asked in a deep voice. “Thank you”. I stood by the window staring out at the grey sky. When Ada brought me my breakfast I sat down and poured myself some tea and drank it slowly, needing the heat that it gave me. I could not touch the food, after one look at it, I pushed it away. Ada’s mouth tightened.“Marc did not eat anything as well,” she said and my face turned red and my lips trembled as I looked away.“He is staying in bed today, Ada said. “He overdid it yesterday.” I laughed hysterically and couldn't stop. I knew Ada was staring at me with curiosity. Gathering up my courage from somewhere I forced myself to regain my self-control and bent my head and concentrated on drinki

Angrily I pushed the unwelcome thoughts aside taking a deep breath before pushing open the double doors to the drawing-room. The Italian woman looked just as beautiful and elegant in the bright lights of the morning as she had in the evening before. Formally dressed in a pink-colored dress and with a perfectly beautiful matching pearl around her slender throat.“Forgive me for coming late,” I said more politely than I felt, knowing instinctively that this visit will be an unpleasant one for me. I didn't want to entertain her but I was just a guest here and since Marc was not around I had to tolerate her.“It doesn’t matter, Ada told me that you had just had your breakfast and went into the room,” Bella said haughtily. Her cold eyes flickered over me like a snake preparing to strike. I suppressed an inward shudder certain now what Bella intended to make my mood into.” I don't wish to be rude Bella but shall we get to the point of your visit? I can't honestly believe that you have come

Later in my room I stretched my length on my luxurious mattress unable to sleep, going over once again in my mind the content of my call to Don. I hated having to deceive him, knowing that when I finally return home, I would have to hurt him further. Whatever were Marc’s reasons for deceiving me to stay at the Villa, there had been a falling as far as the relationship between Don and me was concerned. I knew I could never marry him knowing that I was still in love with Marc. I wished desperately that I had never come to Milan. I was in no doubt that I could have made Don happy but as things stood now, all our lives had been thrown off course. I rolled angrily on my back and stared unseeingly at the white-painted ceiling. Not only were my own plans ruined, but I had a dreadful suspicion that Marc was making a disaster mistake choosing Bella for his next wife but it was always expected, I was just a passing relationship for him.I was forced to admit that my opinion was heavily biased

The lunch would have been really awkward if it hadn't been for Ria who was talking non-stop so I enjoyed my lunch and ate heartily and thankfully after his lunch, Marc left abruptly towards his study without looking at me. Ria suggested we spend some time together so I agreed or I would have ended up having only my company. I enjoyed their compay very much and wanted to make the most of it as I was the only child of my parents and had never enjoyed the company of siblings and interacting with Mathias and Ria was a new experince for me ad for the first time I felt jealous of Marc as he had such loving siblings who dote on him, no matter how arrogant he is. We were just relaxing over coffee in the lounge when the outer door creaked loudly and we could hear the sounds of steps footsteps walking across the Hall. I felt my pulse was racing alarmingly, as I knew that hot color had flooded my cheeks only to fade again leaving me paler than before. I trembled to know that if I were to have

With unsteady feet, I began to descend the stairs but when I reached down, I saw with dismay that the corridor leading to the lounge and Marc's study was in deep shadow and I had a distinct feeling that someone or something was watching me.“Argh………!” I give a barely suppressed scream as a hand gripped my shoulder and Marc's voice demanded.” Why are you here at this time of the night ?”“Don't ever do that again to me!” I said in a trembling voice, leaning my head weakly against the heavy panels of the door.“I am sorry if I startled you,” Marc said in a cold voice. “But as I said before why are you downstairs now, when everyone else is sleeping in their bedroom?”“I am not about to steal anything from your locker if that's what you're thinking!” I said bitterly my temper rising, as I faced Marc's arrogant figure, my e

I showered and dried myself slowly savoring the luxury of my surroundings, knowing that I could have been happy here if things would have worked out differently seven years ago. I shifted , my focus from my dampened mood a little to where the direction of my thoughts was flowing and flicked quickly through my small wardrobe through the few dresses that I had brought with me. I had actually wanted to accompany Marc in the morning but going to his room was a total waste of time and my peace of mind was gone. I looked at myself in the mirror thrusting away the destructive thoughts and forcing myself to concentrate on the task at hand. Finally, I selected a simple sleeveless dress which was blue in color. Then I slipped it over my slim figure. With the addition of a light coating of mascara and lipstick and my hair in a quickly assembled knot. I felt ready to face the world. It was after all much more sensible to be going to Naviglio with Mathias and Ria. I reassured myself that it would

After I finished my shopping I placed it carefully on my spacious handbag, as I walked quickly back towards the café enjoying Marc’s surprised expression at my unexpectedly early return.“All my life I have been searching for a woman, who could accomplish a shopping trip so speedily. Perhaps when you have divorced Marc, you would consider a proposal for me?”Marc grinned wickedly at me but raised his arms in alarm as I picked up his half-finished drink and threatened him with it.“Carmen I apologize,” he said laughing away, blissfully unconscious of the interested glances from the nearby table.” Do you want to drink or shall we get on?“Let's go Mathias please,” I said to ask my cheeks becoming red, aware that we were the focus of attention in the café.“We will go for the Gondola ride, if you agree.”“That sounds fine.” I said following him qui

I couldn't sleep throughout the time we travelled. I was very restless.When we landed at London Heathrow airport it was two in the morning. We finished all the formalities and by the time we came out it was two-thirty in the morning. I desperately wanted to go to the hospital but I knew I won’t be allowed to enter and Don had gone home as he had an urgency at home. I had called him before boarding the flight from Milan. I didn't want to bother him more as he has done enough for me. I checked my cell phone and it was working fine, as Mathias went to the washroom, I called up the hospital’s number. After giving Tio’s ward number, which Don had sent me on Mathias’s phone, I came to know that Tio was doing better as they had fixed the problem with his spine, as the bone near it was dislocated. But now he was out of danger. But would have to be kept in a hospital for a few days for observation.I was surprised that Don
