Trapped Forever- A Dark & Twisted Happily Ever After 91. You need to leave
ERICAI didn’t remember when darkness claimed me and thrust me back from one heart wrecking scenario to another, and in each of them I was calling out for Antonio, only to find him lying in a pool of blood, unresponsive. It was during such a nightmare that I jerked up with my lips parted in a soundless cry and looked around myself, my eyes searching for him, praying that he was alright.But as the white walls and clinical equipment around me registered with the antiseptic smell of my surroundings, I realised I was in a hospital room and once again Antonio wasn’t here. My head pounded with pain just as my heart beat in fear, I started to push the blanket off me when I heard a familiar deep voice. “You are awake.”I turned around to face the speaker and for a moment, I just stared. My mind replayed all that had happened, and I knew Gabriel was shot. Gabriel was shot. Antonio had come save us just like I knew he would. But now he wasn’t here, close to me, he won’t ever leave me alone wh

ERICA“You have ten minutes. And after that you need to leave.”I jerked back, my fingers tightening on around the soft fabric I still held in my tight fist as if it was a talisman which will make everything alright and looked at him with wide eyes, not believing what I was hearing but still I tried to misunderstood him. I shook my head as I said, “I can’t leave him and go back to the castle. What if he needs me? And he will, he wouldn’t like—”“Erica,” He stopped me and even as I shook my head in silent denial, he said the words I didn’t want to hear, “You need to go back to where you belong, on the other side of the ocean with your sister, and your family.”“I belong to him.” The words were out before I could stop them. Quiet and sure. “He told me that I belonged to him.” He’s my family. “If you want to see him, this is the condition. You’ll leave after those ten minutes. I can’t let this happen again and again, Erica.
Trapped Forever- A Dark & Twisted Happily Ever After 93. I am fine
ANTONIOOne Week Later...It was colder than usual and I didn’t think it was because of the snow falling around me. And I doubted it was because I had been weaker than I had ever felt in my life, there was something else: the reason for the cold that had made its home inside me, but I wasn’t too keen to look into that reason. It was better to leave that wound untouched but I couldn’t say that it didn’t hurt far worse than a damaged lever and an arm that hurt every time I moved it. It had been a week since I woke up in the hospital room which was two days after the day I went to save her and rescued Gabriel. I didn’t want to think about her because it makes breathing difficult like I was shot in my lungs too but the fact remains, I woke up to find her gone. She left. I had come to terms with it, or maybe not, because just the thought made anger burn through me replacing the cold. And it had been like that, I was teetering on a very fine line. One moment I was calm and in another I was
Trapped Forever- A Dark & Twisted Happily Ever After 94. I am not a fcking victim!
ERICAIs this what hell feel like?I turned to the other side, trying to find a comfortable position in this foreign bed. I missed him with every breath that I took. I missed his solid presence beside me and the strong heartbeat to which I slept. None of that was here which had made it impossible for me to sleep peacefully since I was brought here three days ago against my will. These three days had felt like a prison sentence and I was sick of it, literally and figuratively.When I had woken up the first day to Summer’s teary eyes and sobs as she had hugged me, everything had came back to me in a series of disasters that had happened. And what broke me was that it was Gabriel who drûgged me and kidnapped me, took me away from Antonio. Antonio, who was in the hospital because of me, because of him. The moment my surroundings had registered, everything inside me had rebelled and I had ended up hugging the toilet. Now, I realised what addiction was because it felt like someone took awa
Trapped Forever- A Dark & Twisted Happily Ever After 95. You really love him?
ERICA“So you are saying that I can’t talk to him?” I asked, my fingers knotted together as helpless anger burned through me. We were in Gabe’s home office, Summer was standing beside him while I sat in front of them like a child put to task. Lily, Gabe’s housekeeper and a maternal figure to him and my sister, had prepared us lunch which I had barely swallowed a few bites of as I was too anxious to have this conversation but now whatever I had eaten it all threatened to come back up at what Gabriel just said to me.“I think it would be for the best.” Gabriel said now.“You think....” I couldn’t even form the words, I was so fûcking furious. “You think that you drugging me, kidnapping me and bringing me here against my will is for the best. You think that not letting me talk to him is for the best.”With every word I spoke, my anger became obvious and I started to lose whatever calm I had. “Rica, please, calm down.”I stared at my sister and asked of Gabriel, “Was that really your dec
Trapped Forever- A Dark & Twisted Happily Ever After 96. One phone call
ERICA “Then let him come to get you.” “Are you shitting me right now?” His blue eyes flashed at my disrespectful words. “He was in the hospital, we don’t even know if he woke up or not.” My throat tightened up at the words as I gritted out, “And you want me to wait for him so he could come for me just because you don’t believe me when I say that he loves me.” “We can’t just let you go, Erica. Even if what you are saying is true and if he really loves you then he’ll come, and there are things we have to talk about. A man like him doesn’t give up his revenge for nothing, what if down the road he hates you or comes after me and my family again?” I was dumbfounded as I listened to him, and I couldn’t council the man with the brother-in-law I was trying to protect. “He gave up his revenge for me, Gabriel. And he will never hurt me. And the family you are talking about is also my family that I protected and stood by and never took his side even when he promised me the world.” “Erica, I
Trapped Forever- A Dark & Twisted Happily Ever After 97. Are you pregnant?
GABRIELThere was a time when I didn’t know right from wrong. I was too hard-headed and stubborn to sit and think about the consequences of my actions. But then I fell for my little red and I had to be a man she deserved. I tried to forget about the guilt of all my past decisions that ended badly, but past has a way of catching up with you. And mine was finally here. Looking back I wondered if I had talked to the man— Bosh Lori, my mentor who taught me everything and took me in when I came to New Orleans then perhaps he’d have listened to me and Summer would’ve been safe from the Mexicans without me killing him to make it happen. But I killed him, I was too afraid for my little red, scared to lose her and angry at the fact that her father made the deal with Mexicans with the help of Bosh. That time it had felt like I didn't have any choice and I did what I knew will guarantee Summer’s safety and the fact that I could control her father so he won't put her and her sister in that situat
Trapped Forever- A Dark & Twisted Happily Ever After 98. He is married
ANTONIOI have never let anything control my life. Never became obsessed with something so deeply that now it was like an addiction that I needed to survive. But right now I felt like one, an addict. And all because of one person, a woman who came into my life and upended everything. I didn't want to even think her name of, I had refrained from it for my own sanity. For some reason it felt necessary to not say her name even in my own mind. Her memories already pained me enough that even bottles of scotch hasn’t helped in erasing it.“Antonio, you haven't eaten anything.”I looked up from my fifth or maybe it was sixth glass of scotch to look at Yuri. We were at his house with a home cooked meal between us. I had only half listened to his plans for the redevelopment of the warehouse and building a new one because no matter how fucking hard I tried I couldn’t push her out of my mind. I couldn't forget our last night together, the way she had clung to me and had given into my demands. Sh
