Heartbeat


    When he finally entered and looked at Hugo and me, the smile still lingered on his lips. His smile


    widened as Beatrice wrapped her hand around his waist. I followed their movements with my gaze,


    but immediately returned to my senses when I felt Hugo caressing my back.


    My body hair stood on end because of what he did. I swallowed first before turning my face to


    Hugo. I intentionally bumped my nose into his and saw Reya''s menacing eyes. She couldn''t believe


    what I was doing.


    Suffer as you watch, right in front of you, how I steal your husband. I held Hugo''s arms as pretend


    support for my seat. Everyone was watching the two of us, when I saw in the corner of my eye


    Reya''s movement and her turning in the wheelchair, I immediately kissed Hugo.


    I buried my face in his chest and pretended I didn’t mean to kiss and was just fainting. My feet were


    shaking, but I didn’t show it. I infiltrated this thing, so I have to stand for it.


    “HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO MY HUSBAND!” Her voice echoed throughout the room. She was


    like a tiger who wants to steal meat because of her violent jerk on my legs.


    I will not let them do what they did to me before. I don''t want to go through it again; I only retaliated


    a little, and way too much karma was returned to me. I''m not going to let that happen; therefore I''ll


    do all in my power to avoid going home defeated.


    “I-I''m sorry … It''s an ident.” I wailed, allowing my tears to flow for more persuasion. I moved


    away from Hugo so that Andrius and Beatrice wouldn''t have to worry about it and make me appear


    weaker. I brushed away my tears while attempting to keep them flowing.


    “Mommy! It''s an ident! I saw earlier how her body copsed and became an ident, so she


    kissed dad.” Andrius removed the arm that wrapped around him and left Beatrice to get close to me.


    Because I sobbed louder, even Hugo became angry with his wife. I want to celebrate with joy


    because of what is happening. It wasn''t hard for me to get the attention of father and son Hugo and


    Andrius.

    “I''m sorry, I didn''t mean to.” I never stopped sobbing. Hugo is already wiping away my tears.


    Hugo is doing that to me, and Andrius is staring at me. Hugo''s skin seemed to sear my face with


    every contact. I was on ignition because every time he touched me, ckness streamed down my


    cheeks. Reya can''t get rid of the dagger that stares at me as if she''s about to murder me with her


    intellect. When I returned my gaze to Beatrice, her expression remained unchanged. They can''t


    both paint their faces.


    I took Hugo''s hand in mine and held it. I toyed with his fingers, and he drew attention to himself.


    After sniffing, I smiled at him, and seemed to be OK. I took a timid step forward and just murmured


    to Hugo. He still believes in me.


    I pressed my lips on his ear. They didn''t take my stilettos off, so I was still wearing them, and it was


    an excuse for the two of us to be the same height. Andrius was frowning as he observed us. Don''t


    be concerned, Andrius. You will not lose your position in this storyline because you will be with him


    to catch and hug each other if you two fall.


    “I hope to have a free time with you.” I teased with my voice, hoping to draw his blood. I want to


    elevate his blood pressure just by speaking to him. That is how I want to get his heart.


    He took hold of my wrist and gulped. He gazed behind him with only his eyes, since it appeared as


    if his wife was about to drag him away at any minute. He also looked to his side to check whether


    Andrius was looking. By pinching my legs with my free hand, I attempt not to reveal any grins on my


    lips.


    “I''ll take her because it looks like she can''t do it yet,” Hugo says seriously, pulling out his vehicle key


    as Reya flinches. He didn''t let grip of my wrist and drew me towards the entrance.


    Because Reya was stunned, I would have taken a step. True to what Aiza mentioned, Reya can do


    nothing against Hugo, especially when ites to women. She doesn''t appear to be able to thwart


    Hugo''s ns because she is insanely in love with him. That is what love does to you: it blinds you.


    We can do things we should not be doing. We go to great lengths merely to win the heart of the


    person to whom we want tomit our affection. I won''t wonder why their son is like this.


    I was ready to give in to his pull when someone else grabbed my other hand. When I watched


    Andrius''s angry eyes meet his father''s stare, my heart skipped a beat. He seemed to be able to


    murder him with the additional de of his every re. When I turned around, his jaw tensed and


    his hand clenched. Beatrice and Reya are doing nothing but standing there, waiting to see what


    happens next.


    “You worry too much for others while you don''t think of your wife who is just in front of you.” He


    grinned teasingly, but there was a trace of anger there. “I will take her. Let go of her.”


    He yanked me so hard that my face collided with his chest, and his father let me go. I wanted to be


    enraged because of the strength of his draw, but I was taken aback when he buried my head


    deeper in his chest, while not moving his gaze away from his father. As a result, I couldn''t move


    right away. I may have sunk in my thoughts again if Reya and Beatrice hadn''t spoken at the same


    moment.


    “Father-inw.”


    “Hugo.”


    I couldn''t see the reaction of them all because my face was just sunk into Andrius'' chest and I


    couldn''t lift it because his hand was on the back of my head to put more pressure on me there. He


    still doesn''t change the perfume he uses. His body became more stone.


    Unbeknownst to me, my hands moved spontaneously and slowlynded on his chest. How is this


    heart? Has it turned to stone as well? We looked at each other because of what I did. His eyes were


    taking me to the other side of the world, if I was still the former Caroline, I might have gone up and


    left there. However, she was long gone, I learned to swim and wade through the cold and deep-sea


    without anyone helping me.


    “Your heartbeat.” It came out of my lips deliberately. I could feel his heart beating fast and loud.


    He didn''t even move though I told him that. As before, he did not know how to be embarrassed. He


    can express himself. But it is only a mask for his true identity. What lurks in that attitude is the dark


    Andrius. Andrius who''s full of secrets. He was like a book of pages torn and damp because


    whatever I wanted to convey to him was difficult, and I could not do.


    “Andrius, you too. Come with us home, I think that woman can go home.” It was Beatrice, her voice


    irritated after she uttered the word “that woman”. It’s funny because they don’t know what to call me


    even though I’m the person they once ruined their life and destroyed their identity.


    I stood up straight, Andrius''s hand fearlessly wrapped around my waist. Surprisingly, he can do this


    in front of his wife now. I turned to Beatrice, if anyone had matured, it was her face. Based on the


    identity of the two of them and Reya, there is still nothing new to it. Their patterns are still rotting.


    “I don''t have a car, can I borrow your boyfriend to take me to my house?” I raised an eyebrow at her.


    I did not show my fake identity.


    I wanted to experience that for the first time I had fought them, standing, living, and without a trace


    of fear on my face because of the things they could retaliate against me for. Her eyes quickly


    changed from being irritated to being scared. This is the face I used to have. When Andrius and her


    got married, and I believed it was just a simple event.


    “H-how dare you!” When she recovered and processed what I had told her, she walked quickly


    towards me, raised her hand, and was ready to p it on me.


    Andrius and Hugo would have stopped that because Andrius left behind me and Hugo stepped


    forward, but I preceded them. I grabbed Beatrice''s hand and pushed her. I just started today, but


    there is a p going on. Gosh!


    I repositioned myself and pulled the nightgown I was wearing. I''m fortunate that this is what I


    choose to wear today, and at least my demeanor matches the beauty that I''m wearing. I don''t


    appear to be garbage. I stepped out and let whoever came next take me.


    I didn’t know there was extra room here. It is a clinic, I looked for the way where the door was


    because I could only see a straight hallway. There were no people, and I was covered in cold. I


    apuded when I saw the light where the direction was, and I was ready to go there, but someone


    suddenly pulled me somewhere.


    The next thing I knew, I was in the room again. It was one of the rooms I passed in the hallway. My


    forehead furrowed as I was suddenly pulled into it. I am no longer afraid every time someone


    suddenly touches or pulls me. So, I instantly removed the hand of the one who grabbed me and


    then angrily looked at whoever it was. I presently saw that Andrius was also nasty.


    The next thing he said was the end of the smirk on my lips. I expected him to get furious because of


    his jealousy of his father, but it wasn’t too bad that he had a reaction like this after what I did. Just


    prove that out of 100% sess, our n has a chance of sess of 101%.


    “I know what you are doing to my father, stay away from him! Probably you''re not blind, so you can


    see that my mother is there?”
