CHAPTER 23
It’s raw but real, hearing that makes my blood boil. She escaped when she was left alone, she was able to bite the tape enough to break free and escape, when she got to the road a car almost ran her over but luckily it was the officers looking for her in that area who found her.
-She heard a name in particular.
-She said that a woman had sold me to them, and they said Melissa’s name. She was my fiance’s ex.
-He’s talking about the woman who replaced her at his wedding.
-What? -She said incredulously, “So… you married her… it’s unbelievable. Now everything falls into place, she got rid of me so you wouldn’t realize what had happened.
I am perplexed by what she just said, I ask her again if she is sure of what she is saying and she looks at me annoyed, she lets go of my hand and answers me with a blunt yes, she repeats my ex’s name and where she lived so they would go get her.
When we are left alone, she gives me a murderous look as she asks me if I care so much about Melissa. I felt guilty for her suffering, but after this, I won’t let something like this happen again.
-The point is that you are incriminating someone without real evidence.
-My word is real, that’s enough, it should be real for you too.
I try to make her understand the consequences of her actions because this can hurt her and even go to jail for accusing someone without evidence.
-It will be your word against hers, understand. If there are no witnesses to verify what you say, she could send you to jail for false accusation against her and defamation and I’m worried about that happening.
-That’s why we have you, to protect us. -That bitch wanted to get rid even of your daughter. She’s dangerous. Besides, if nothing is proven, she can’t easily accuse me anyway, the evidence is against her for impersonating me at the wedding, everything points to the fact that it was her plan.
-Speaking of which…Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Eros explains to me what had happened. His mother was the one who made sure to change everything so that I wouldn’t make it to the wedding and that while I was waiting, he was marrying Melissa believing it was me, but he realized in time that it wasn’t me and the document he signed was changed to a fake one.
I looked at him and asked him why he did it if he could have gotten the woman he wanted as his real wife and not a fake wife which is what I would be.
-Why did you change me and so did you, I wanted to know if this was real or part of the contract.
-And… what is… for you?
-What I need.
I bite my lower lip while I close my eyes not to cry but in the end I end up doing it and I can’t control myself now, my tears roll down my cheeks at so much happiness I was feeling right now because that’s what I had wanted to hear since I knew I loved him.
My efforts to get back to him were worth it and now I am hearing that he loves me too, that I am important to him, the one he wants by his side, he settles down next to me on the small bed and all I did was hide in his chest so he wouldn’t see me cry.
-Hey,… there’s something on my mind. How is it that you could run with a baby inside you?
-Female power. -He laughs and kisses my head -I love you… grumpy god.
Loving him is so beautiful, it seemed like a fairy tale, my fairy tale of which is just beginning and of course I am the main character, and I won’t let anyone spoil it, this is my life now by his side and anyone who wants to take it away from me by force, will know that I am not so easy to get out of the way.
-Eros… I swear, I will be strong. So strong that no one will be able to take away from me what I love with my soul.
-So? And may I know what it is that you love so much?
-First of all… our daughter… and then you. That’s why I’ve decided that I want to graduate and study criminology. -He looks at me with his eyes wide open. -When I was locked up, I studied each one of them, so I could deduce what they were.
-I thought you were going to tell me you wanted to be something like… a fashion designer… or something more… feminine.
-Maybe, for now I want to help others, not get rich. When I was a child, I always dreamed of being a heroine, helping people like me, they are cases that mostly remain unsolved. And now I’ve found my place in the world, thanks to you and our baby.
-We’ll talk about that later.
He seemed overwhelmed by what I wanted, but I know he will understand me and understand and respect my decisions.
I didn’t want to stay in the hospital any longer so the doctors discharged me so I could go home, but when we arrived, I found my least favorite person, Melissa was quietly chatting with the person I was beginning to like, my dear loose.
When they saw me their smiles vanished, and of course, just seeing me, they were already kicking me out of the house.
-Bianca…” Stacy was the only one who welcomed me with open arms, “Welcome home. I’m glad you’re feeling well.
-Thank you. It’s good to see you. -I asked her to step aside as I had something to say to the pair of vipers. -Well, it seems they were expecting good news from me, like I was sold for prostitution for example.
-What is this woman doing in my house? -she asked Eros without impudence. -Honey…
I scoffed when he called him honey, Eros even just kept silent with a grim face because indeed this woman is crossing beyond her limits, and so is his mother.
