The Bride

– His voice was full of pain and he gasped.

“Oh God, I’m sorry. You shouldn’t say that. Thank you for your hard work.”

“that”.

I muttered as I poured more brandy into the brandy glass. “Where is the toilet?”

I asked as I stood up from my chair, he pointed at me and I left with a drink and a blanket.

I just needed some alone time to sort things out. I was poor, homeless and didn’t want to stay here.

I closed the door, sat down on the shiny tile floor, buried my face in my hands, and took a deep breath. My head wouldn’t stop pounding and I gave him several drinks to distract me

it was My heart hurts even more because I don’t want to think about it. I felt tears welling up in my eyes, blinking and pulling my knees to my chest.

Did I ever get his attention? I trusted him, loved him, and began to believe in him.

The knock on the door snapped me out of my mind. – Hey, are you okay? I cleared my throat to answer. “Yes”.

“Let me know if you need anything, Chloe.”

“sure.”

I heard he left I didn’t want to stay here, I wanted to be away from anyone related to Tristan. He promised me that he would never tell anyone that he saw me and that I don’t want anyone

Know that I’m here. I spend the night here and in the morning I can figure out the next steps.

After drinking all the alcohol, the headache got worse. I felt dizzy and my eyes started to hurt as if someone was beating my eyes non-stop.

I stood in front of the door with one hand on my straight head and leaning on the post. “Hadrian”.

Called when the pain was unbearable.

As I put the brandy glass in my hand, it shattered on the floor with a loud crash that echoed throughout the building. I fell to the floor, crouched on the cold floor, curled up like a ball, clutching my head from both sides, trying to bear the pain of being pierced through the head.

I haven’t felt such pain since giving birth and I screamed that I couldn’t take it anymore. I grabbed my hair to stop the pain. I kept shouting at Adrian to come quickly. Where did he go?!

I grabbed Adrian’s hand as he hugged me and led me to the long couch in the living room and gently laid me down like he was holding an egg.

“Hey, everything will be fine.”

He whispered and patted my head and I nodded, hoping what he was saying was true. It would be good? I will be right back. he left me alone

I groaned as I gripped the side of the couch and he returned with a glass of water. I don’t know if it was a migraine so I let it go

Tristan and I left the migraine pills there.

Adrian moved the middle table closer to where I lay and sat down weightlessly on it. “I might have to go to the hospital.”

“No, it doesn’t matter. The pain subsides.

It seems unsafe. “Is this your first time?” “Not.” I lied.

Tired of looking at the white walls of the hospital to avoid going to the hospital, the unpleasant smell of disinfectants and medicines. He brought his hand closer and placed his palm on my forehead.

“Is difficult!

He got up and left. I came back with the car keys…

blankets around me – I’m taking you to the hospital.

“It’s not good. It’s not serious, I swear.”

I was told to sit down, but I found my body wasn’t what it used to be, my energy was drained and my skin was getting goosebumps.

“You’ll be better with some rest.”

I added blankets to the collection, wrapped them up and laid them out. – I’ll make you soup. He said.

I nodded and he left. The soup was good and very hot and it burned my tongue.

– We will take you to your room.

He told me after he came out of the kitchen. He took my hand as we did

Climbing the stairs didn’t hurt my head.

After I lay down on the double bed, he put a blanket around my neck and touched my forehead again, and I shivered from the coldness of his hands. “You’re still hot.”

Worried, she left with a small towel dipped in cold water and returned.

He gently caressed my face and hands and put a towel on my forehead. ‘He didn’t want that and that’s all I want to know. His mother was afraid of losing him and Tristan’s guilt drove her to suicidal thoughts and nothing seemed to happen. They thought it would help the little girl stay with him.”

“He ruined my life, he ruined everything. I don’t care if he decides to kill himself.”

When I finished, he looked at me. – I’ll see you soon. He told me before he left.

I closed my eyes and immediately fell asleep.

∆

I woke up to the sound of the door opening and what time were my eyes looking out?

“Hello.”

I heard a noise from behind and looked at Adrian. He held a tray full of toast, blueberry jam, bacon and steaming tea.

“Hello.”

I slowly stood up and rested my back on his head. “How are you feeling?”

“It’s much better than last night.”

I spoke and moved with a sigh of relief.

I pulled my head back to see clearly.

He put the tray down in front of me and put the back of his hand on my forehead. – It’s okay now, Adrian.

I asked as he retreated. “How’s your hair?” I said.

“I feel no pain.”

Except someone who won’t stop in my heart.

“Then I’ll give you Alewa.”

“good.”

I grumbled and he smiled and left. I hated drugs and absolutely loved injections.

He came back with the bottle, put it on the bedside table and sat on the bed next to me. Her hair was pulled back and her black hood revealed her skin.

Skin I saw the bag under his eyes, did he sleep last night? He continued to take care of me while hiding the truth about my relationship with Karen.

– Have you already eaten?

I asked for jam on toast. “I drank coffe”.

– Only coffee? eat this

I forced bread and jam into his hands. “I’ve eaten enough.”

I spoke quickly, opening my mouth to reject him. He smiled softly, shrugged, and ate. – Thanks for last night.

I said with the most beautiful smile that I’m going to die of cold.

“I feel like I owe you for everything I’ve done to you. Don’t thank me.”

“Yes of course.”

I nodded and he smiled at me. “I promise I’ll leave as soon as I find out what it is, but you’ve never seen me and you don’t know where I am.”

– Your wife.

he said out loud. And I smiled and ate bacon. I miss the old Adrian and it’s good to have him back. I tried to organize my life and figure out the next step. I have been here for about a week and Adrian said I can stay as long as I want but I feel like a burden to Adrian. I didn’t want to go back to my family or contact anyone.

I forgot, no one cared anyway.

It wouldn’t mean much to my family if I was gone, because I died for them, Gray would probably move out, and Vina… I miss him, he was the only one who believed in me. He was the only person I could turn to for advice, but I didn’t want to contact him and I knew he was worried about me. I had to figure it all out on my own, but it was really hard and Tristan made it hard for me. No matter how much alcohol I drink in a day, it always sticks in my mind

I wish the memories of the night he was there would go away. Martino shared via whatsapp.

I cried every time I showered and was glad the water washed away my tears. I needed a new life, a life without Tristan, a life without an ex-boyfriend, a life without family and other people.

Surrounded by monsters.

I had to, I had to start somewhere, right? I hid the alcohol in my hand under the bed when I heard Adrian’s footsteps. He was on his way home from work.

I promised him he wouldn’t drink for a few days, but to no avail and I needed alcohol to keep me from going crazy. He knocked on the door and called my name and I let him in with a fake smile.

“How are you?” “take care.”

“I’ll wash and cook for us.”

He told me and left. I forgot all the cooking lessons I took from the man who wants to cook for him but won’t name them.

Wiping the drink from my mouth, I went down with him.

smell

I decided to help chop the vegetables and he did the rest. “Chloe?”

He called and found out my heart had stopped and I must have been drunk.

“Yes?”

“How long are you going to not contact me?” Everyone thinks you’re gone.

“Okay, you should stay.”

That’s all I told him and went back to chopping the vegetables.

“Tristan told your family the truth.”

I immediately stopped and he said so. ‘Everyone is looking for you, your friends, your family and your ex.

I did not say anything. “It’s hard to pretend you don’t know anything”

The whole town knows the truth about where you are. When they go crazy to find you, Tristan told everyone on the news. It’s in the media. They want you again and everyone is looking for you.”

He continued, waiting for me to say something, but I remained silent. ‘Your best friend created a website to get you home and your family sued Sanchester. They continue to justify in court”.

I missed it, I came here to see very little news, but it was good. He had a good knife and was angry. Did my family want me back? Wow what a great family. Beware of satire. “I know Tristan hurt you and I’m not trying to defend him.” But he… .

“I don’t feel well, go upstairs and rest your head.”

I said dropping the knife and hurried out of the kitchen.

I locked my room door and sat at the foot of the bed, did you all know the truth? So why am I not happy?

The truth was revealed, but something seemed to be missing. I don’t like the news. That’s what I wanted. But that no longer seems to be the case.

I swallowed dry food down my throat and went to bed with longing. Life is very complicated and I have to apologize to Adrian. He did no harm.

I got up, walked out of the room and stopped in the living room when I saw the man on the news. Tristan?

I leaned closer to listen to him. He looked like the walking dead and…

I didn’t try to look good on camera.

His eyes were pale, he was wearing a peach sweater and black jeans, his hair was showing and his forehead was slowly turning into a beard. He fixed his blue eyes on the camera and licked his lips nervously at the end of each sentence.

I read the headline, Come Home Chloe. I clenched my fists and pressed my nails into my palms. I have a black rage that needs to be saved. “… I know I hurt you. What I did was terrible and inhumane. I’m sorry Cassie, come home. You need to go home, you need your family, your best friend needs you.. .”

He looked down at his feet, paused, then looked back at the camera. ‘I know you hate me, I deserve it. I miss you Cassie Don’t care about me, I love you more than I thought I could love anyone. If you’re there and see this, don’t look back

For me, but for your family and best friends. If you see this article and see a beauty, please call the number on the screen. Thanks.”

He looked at the newscaster and smiled.

They shook hands and he left and I was overwhelmed with all kinds of emotions. “Unfortunately, if you have seen this beauty, please call the number below or report it to the police.”

said the anchor with sparkling white teeth.

I got up to leave and saw Adrian

He, not far from where I was, also heard the news. “While?”

he asked me when I entered the restaurant.

‘If you want me to go, I will. I’m not ready to take over the whole city or the whole world. I want to be single even for a year.”

‘I’m not asking you to leave, I can’t lie to see them suffer. Tristan is really upset because he is responsible for your disappearance. I’m not trying to save him. But things could get worse if you don’t get out.”

I sat down on the nearest chair and cried, but it was much harder than I thought.

“It’s not over.”

I almost told her to cry again. ‘I know how hard it is for you, so take your time and I’ll wait.

I’m sure you made the right decision.”

I got up and hugged her and we both needed it. He hugged me again and patted my back. “I’m sorry if I made it difficult.”

I pressed her chest and inhaled her beautiful scent. “that”.

He whispered and I felt him laugh.

Her relationship with Karen deteriorates. He avoided the subject, but I could tell it still hurt.

– cash?

We both heard Tristan’s voice. – cash?

Tristan’s voice came from behind. “Stubborn!”

Adrian muttered as he wrapped his arms around me. We turned from each other and looked at Tristan.

He was wearing the news outfit I had seen before and I thought he was coming straight from the news center. Surprised, he called my name again, but said in an incredibly soft whisper that it wasn’t mine. He took a step towards me and I took a step back and gave him a grim look. He stopped and wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

His gaze turned from me to Adrian. “Did you lock me in here?” Has he ever been with you?

When he finished speaking, his voice rose. – He didn’t want anyone to know. “At least it should”

Not knowing what to say, I stopped and groaned.

I wanted to say something but held it back. I didn’t want to say anything to Tristan and looked at him and pissed him off.

His gaze rested on me and our eyes met for a moment, but I turned and went to my room. – cash.

He called after me.

I walked faster without looking back when I heard the sound of his heavy footsteps as he followed me and was about to speak. I opened the door and entered. I took one look at him and slammed the door in his face.

I heard her moan and went to my bed and sat down. “Cathy, listen to me.” He knocked on the door.

“Cathy, please.” He had no right to call me that anymore. I stopped knocking and there was a long silence. I waited for him to leave, but he began to speak in a voice full of regret and pain.

– I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you. I know you will never forgive me and my family. I wanted to tell you, but I was so obsessed with you that I was afraid of losing you.

I am no better than your predecessors.

He was silent for a few seconds. “I’m sorry, Cassie.”

Oh my God, she cried.

The only time I’ve seen her cry is when she’s looking at the babies’ clothes and when she tells me about Fiona. ‘You’re right, I don’t deserve to be happy, I don’t deserve forgiveness, I don’t deserve you. I’m just ruining my life. You will never be happy with a psychopath like me. I wish your ex was doing better than me

I think I failed. You are more to me than I thought, Cathy.

I felt tears in my eyes, emotional confusion. You need to mix the chopped vegetables and onions.

‘Your family wants you back, it’s my fault you kicked me out and ruined your life. “I didn’t think about the results,” he said.

I got up and ran to the bathroom. I didn’t want to hear anymore.

Before I could stop crying, I turned on the shower and got under him. I splashed water on my skin and cried.

I missed it so much, I wanted to go out and try it. I wanted to hug him and feel his embrace, but I couldn’t.

I stayed in the shower

After an hour I decided to take a bath. When I went, I didn’t hear his voice. He went.

I changed my clothes to go to bed, lay awake for a few hours before going to bed, then buried myself in the duvet. I woke up at 9 in the morning, brushed my teeth and face and left the room.

I was surprised to see Adrian eating in the restaurant. It seems to be working. “I knocked and got no answer, I thought he was still asleep.”

He smiled as I sat in front of him.

– Are you not going to work today?

“Yes, but I’ll be out of here at noon.”

– Five.

He came out and brought me food. “thanks.”

I murmured.

“I promised not to tell anyone.” Suddenly, Adrian said. I nodded and went to eat and watch a movie together on HBO before he left.

When I saw my parents on TV, I paused, looked for something to watch, and plopped down on the couch. My mother was interviewed at home with tears in her eyes. I learned this inside the living room. “…I missed you so much. It wasn’t our fault. If only I’d known that bastard was lying.”

I turned off the TV and sighed. I went back to my room and stayed.

under the hood.

I can’t be here forever, baby

Online classes started again last week, but

I had no money to pay. All the plans in my head were meaningless. Mainly because I went bankrupt.

I closed my eyes and let my mind rest. “Think of Chloe.” I moaned.

18:00 I dragged Adrian into the kitchen to make dinner. I turned on the loud music to forget Tristan’s thoughts in the kitchen.

He arrived an hour later and pretended I made him look. He smiled as he left to freshen up and I put everything on the table before he came downstairs.

“That’s what I have to do.” he said as he sat down. “No, you cook, now it’s my job.”

– Today is your birthday. I have to be the one to take you to dinner.

“My birthday? Excuse me. What day is it?”

“August 12th”.

I gasped and completely forgot my birthday. – You forgot?

He was surprised. “Yes”.

– I laughed and he joined me. He got up and returned with the cake. When did he buy it? How I can’t see. He started to sing and I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes.

Blow out a candle in the middle

And he applauded. I never wanted to celebrate my 21st birthday like that, I never had a big party, it was always my family and me.

But celebrating like this with Adrian is unforgettable. “how did you know?”

‘Your parents announced it on TV.

I closed my eyes to the words about my parents.

“Here’s a present for you.”

He placed a small box in front of me. When I took it out and opened it, it was a credit card.

“I didn’t know what to give, so change the card to whatever you want.”

Would it be rude to ask how much is in it? “thanks.”

I said sadly and his phone rang as I opened my mouth to say something.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Sorry, I’ll be back soon.” He answered the phone and left. A few minutes later he came back with a strange face.

– This is Tristan. I want to wish you a happy birthday.

I nodded. “He was drunk.”

He warned me before he gave his speech.

– cash?

“I’m here.” I said angrily. He breathed a sigh of relief.

“Congratulations. Cassie, if you were still around, I’d throw you the biggest party. It’s my fault you didn’t celebrate with your family or the way you wanted.

Sorry.”

he was shaking ‘I hope you find someone who makes you happy, someone who won’t be a jerk, someone whose goal is to make you the happiest person every day. Be safe.”

He hang up the phone.

I held back my tears and Adrian said nothing. We sat in silence, various thoughts running through my head, trying not to let them dominate me.

“drink?”

Adrian asked and I nodded. “It’s my birthday, so I’m going to get you a drink.”

I laughed. If only he knew the truth. We moved into the living room and curled up on the floor so drunk we couldn’t get up.

I fell asleep on it while I was saying something.

I didn’t understand. I got out of bed and saw a painkiller and a bottle of water lying on the nightstand and took it to the bathroom.

It was past 1pm and I made up my mind for the day. Now I’m twenty one and twenty has taught me a lot, it’s time to make the right choices, organize my life and start over.

I skipped dinner and told Adrian I wasn’t hungry. I made my decision.

The next day I woke up very early and prepared breakfast. Adrian came in a black two piece suit and was surprised to see me.

“Wake up.”

“Yes!”

I saw him eating eggs and pancakes. “I am leaving”.

I reported that he almost choked on the coffee he swallowed.

– Sorry.

We both said it at the same time. “Are you leaving?”

“Yes, I’ve made up my mind. Now I think I know what I want.”

I said with a soft smile. “When?”

“today”.

his face fell – Can you just tell me?

He grimaced and sat back in his chair.

“I’m sorry, it was last night.”

“Are you going back to your family?” “Not”.

“success”

“Not”.

I said it before I even said his name. “Where?” I just laughed. “Chloe?”

“Calm down, I’m close.” – Is he leaving town? “Unfortunately.”

He breathed a sigh of relief. ‘Can you lend me some money? I will return it as soon as I get a job,” he said.

“Yes, but don’t return it.”

“I will, I will give back every cent. After everything you’ve done for me, I owe you.”

“It’s okay, Chloe.” We are friends, and friends take care of each other.

“Thanks, but I’ll pay you back anyway.”

“Do you need a car?”

– No, I’m going to take a taxi to get my things.

“If you don’t want to go there, I will.”

Take them for yourself.”

“that”. “Are you sure?”

– Yes, keep eating. – Yes mom.

I hit him under the table. He wrote me a check and we

when it leaves

I took a bath and got ready to go.

The taxi driver kept looking at me.

Rearview Mirror. “Are you okay? I didn’t pay…

Look at me like a vine.

“I’m sorry, you look like a lost girl.”

“Ah, I understand completely.”

I said looking out the window. My heart pounded as the car pulled up in front of Tristan’s mansion.

I told the driver to wait until I receive the goods. When Morris opened the door, it was like seeing a ghost.

– Hi Morris.

‘Mrs Simpson? You came back!”

I’ve never seen him so happy.

‘Actually, I’m dead…

things.” “Ah.”

A smile appeared on his face. – Sorry.

I hugged her.

– Don’t let him.

He begged me when I left. “Sorry”.

I said and walked towards the stairs.
