Chapter 49
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

Taking a deep breath, I said without stopping. “Mathias Tio is Marc’s son not Blade Taylor's or any other men, whatsoever, Marc had imagined for that matter.” I saw Mathias’s face darken with surprise. “ I don't understand how can this be?" “There's no doubt about it, Mathias, you will be in no doubt about it when you have seen Tio as he is the exact carbon copy of Marc and you." I tried to explain. “Carmen what are you saying? What have you done and how could you do that?" Mathias stared at me in shocked amazement. I lowered my eyes before his accusing stare, then raised them again and said bitterly. “Perhaps you should say those words to Marc and not me. I never said that Tio was not Marc’s son it was all in Marc's imagination. I did not have a lover Mathias, I never wanted and I never had anyone but Marc,” I added shaking my head. “He never trusted me! what was I supposed to do? I caught him right-handed with another woman and he blamed me for the infidelity, that he had done

The taxi we hired drove very swiftly towards our destination. The morning traffic was not much so we arrived at the entrance of the hospital without any delay, Mathias paid the driver and I had a cause to bless him, as I was actually in a trance and did not even think of taking out change and giving it to the driver. My whole equilibrium had shattered after hearing Tio's news and I could hardly think about anything.We entered the reception area and we were directed towards the ward on the second floor. There was still no sign of Don, as I began to hope that he should not be there as I wanted to finish the task related to him later. I did us to be in an awkward situation as Mathias was also here with me.The nurse who met us outside Tio’s ward confirmed Don’s departure a while ago. He left a message asking me to contact him at home as soon as possible as his mother was not keeping well and he had to rush back home. I know, I was being selfish but right now my state of mind couldn’t thi

“Why haven't you ever come to see us before? Don't you like us?”felt the color draining for my cheeks.” I don't think this is the time for any explanation Tio. You are not quite Well and you must put all your energy into getting better. "I squeeze hand reassuringly.“I can promise you some surprises when you're feeling better , so hurry up and get well soon! In any case it was my fault and not your uncles that you haven't met before. I've told you there will be plenty of time for explanation later,” I said with a speed, as Tio was about to open his mouth to pursue the subject . “Alright Tio now stop talking and just try to regain your strength back please Tio, listen to your mom for once.”“Mom do you think you can bully the nurses, instead of me and get me something to eat? I am feeling very hungry.” Tio murmured with a grin on his face.“I

I finished all the formalities at the hospital and discussed Tio's situation with the nurse once aagain as I had to be sure of everything only then I could relax.Mathias had gone off to find a hotel for himself and I am sure he must have found one too. My house was too small I couln't accomodate him and plus he would be very uncomfortable there.I really needed to clear my head so I walked back towards my house.When I reached home, I found myself very disturbed but firstly I went to aunt Beth’s house to reassure her about Tio’s health as she had been calling me again and again.She hugged me tightly in her embrace trying to comfort me and I hugged her back as I need the warmth.She insisted I have some breakfast but I was not feeling like eating anything so I politely refused and when to my house and closed the door. I was trying desperately not to think about Tio’s reaction when he knows about

“Are you sure he is fine Marc?” I questioned him and when he did not reply.” Okay leave it I will call the hospital myself.” and took out my phone to call the hospital. “Carmen, just believe me he is fine,” Marc interrupted my thoughts. “ they said they will call us if there is any change in his condition and we will go to the hospital anyway.” He said calmly. “What did Tio say to you?” I asked in a trembling voice. “Well it wasn’t that difficult for him to recognize me, as he had already met Mathias and when I came into the picture it did not take him long to conclude about my identity and I clarified the air for him.” He added with a shrug. “Did you talk to him for long……….?” I asked in a concerned voice. “Just for a few minutes. They were concerned that he should rest. He is still very weak. I have arranged for him to be shifted to a private ward and I have also arranged for us to meet his surgeon who did his surgery yesterday.” “Why did you do it? You don’t have any right !”
