The Power of Love

"What do you mean?"

Sean's shoulders lifted. "For what happened before, you unknowingly put high hopes on your pregnancy and tried to resist believing that Nino would leave you soon. Know it? Sometimes we prefer to avoid and deceive ourselves with hope even though we know that it is false."

Sean was still chattering while I shifted my body to lean on the sofa. "Maybe at that time you loved her, but deep inside you was stored a greater fear and without you knowing it hit you. Get you tied up with something you think will end up beautiful." I nodded in agreement with her words even though she wasn't completely right.

I looked at Sean. "Seans... I married him for eight years. There's not a day I've missed without Nino beside me. My feelings for him at that time were not something that could be considered playful. I am sincere with her, accepting and forgiving her does not mean I am a weak or foolish woman. You won't understand this."

"But you're right. I was hiding my fears at the time to the point that I forced myself to believe that everything would be fine. And yes, I managed to deceive myself. I was so desperate and devastated. Until the last time you gave me those photos, I was able to accept the reality and opened my eyes wide that we could not be together anymore."

Sean looked at me. "Is there anything left of him? I mean, you know."

My mouth's curved. With both of my hands cupped in his face, my eyes looked at his waiting eyes in doubt, hoping that my answer would not upset or hurt him. "Look and listen to me." I said. "Every corner of the room in my heart is yours. All that is attached to me my body is yours and will forever be yours. There was nothing left of him other than the fact that he was the real father of my son, it was the only thing that kept me in touch with him. The rest, I'm yours, Sean."

I kissed her lips and felt her smile in my mouth. After our kiss came off, he nodded then smiled flirtatiously. "Who taught you to seduce?"

I laughed softly. "Let's go. I forgot. I thought it was you, uh, or... The nino? I don't know, but it's definitely one of you." my god and my laughter grew louder as Sean opened his eyes wide, but for a moment he smiled in response to my temptation.

I've told you many times, haven't I? That I'm so lucky to have a husband like Sean. He and all his body that holds other luxuries is so beautiful as well as creepy. Once I saw him yell at one of his employees in the office for misinputing data and causing quite a fantastic loss. I almost fainted hearing her voice echoing in the meeting room. But I'm thankful he never snapped at me.

Angry and regretful at me, Sean still spoke in a low voice even though it still made me tremble. This is one important advice for couples, never raise your voice when you are angry, because it can raise your anger level.

Still on the living room couch with Sean, I looked at him fretfully until my eyes ached. His handsome and reliable face was too excessive. My eyes went down looking at her cruel and vicious mouth as greeting my femininity drove me crazy, making me want to immerse her face again between my thighs. And now I goosebumps trembling at the thought of all the pleasures offered by her body. I don't care if people think I'm a maniac, because Sean deserves to be judged.

Sean put his hand to my face. His ever-warm touch made me tremble, my lips dry and my tongue muffled. I would probably have stripped her naked if I didn't remember we were in the living room right now.

I just wanted to pierce her full lips when the sound of her phone ringing signaled a message coming in. Sean shifted to grab his phone from the table, and when he saw the message, he looked at me hesitantly. "Mmm.." he muttered. "Abraham's got a little information about the meeting."

"That's enough to calm me down. At least I can see my other family. Thank you, Sean." I said with blurry eyes, glazed over at him.

Sean pulled me into his arms. Her warm hands caressed my back and her sweet lips kissed my head. This is the most exciting news I've heard in the last few months. I've always wanted to meet the only family I know other than my family now. I had imagined how that awkward meeting would happen later. Aunt Lucy must have known me considering Mom used to say that my face was very similar to Mama's. Or it could have something in common with my aunt.

Imagining back to my difficult and painful childhood, I cried in Sean's arms. My arms hugged her body tightly, my face sank wet her clothes Her hands raised my face, looking at her who also felt pain from seeing me cry, I sobbed and sobbed. I pulled out her palm and then hugged her back. "It hurts." I groaned. "It hurts so much."

"Cry" she said softly and warmly. "I felt the same way when I lost my parents."

A while later, Sean cupped my face, lifted my chin, and rubbed both of my cheeks with my thumb. I felt devastated and stunned looking at him because at this moment he still looked handsome. Always handsome and thrilling. I saw a hardened determination in his eyes and he took a deep breath.

"Franda," he hissed, his hot breath slipping between his lips and teeth. "You don't have to endure it yourself. I am always with you and will be with you forever. Cry as long as you want, but always remember that you still have me and your family. You've been tormented long enough by the passing of your parents, it's time to let go and free yourself from the shadows of the past."

I exhaled in despair, in a few moments I wanted to keep his mouth shut so that he would stop talking. But the bond in her eyes made me have my throat choked. His hands tightened on my face, his head leaning more and more towards my cheeks, his nose greeting the strands of my hair. And at that tense moment, he whispered very darkly. It was so dark that I almost felt asphyxiated.

"Franda," the tip of his nose stroked my cheek, his breathing invaded my senses. "You may feel sad," his body trembled faintly restraining all the feelings that flashed within him. "but, don't drag on. I don't bother to see you suffer constantly. Arise, darling. Forget everything. You should really forget it."

He pulled back his head and frowned firmly at me. "You got it?"

I was breathing heavily, I couldn't speak anymore, which I definitely felt very loved. He loved me, and felt my suffering to such a depth and extent. I closed my eyes and gave up my lips to snatch.

Sean tasted me greedily, I accepted it sincerely. "Don't suffer anymore, Franda. You don't know how desperate I am to see you cry."

I nodded obediently. "I love you, Sean."

With a bright smile, he answered me. "I love you more."
