In HOLY Matrimony
I walked back to my room to see her lifeless body with the mask that was helping her breath over her nose. What I saw in her journal and Levi’s words hit me so hard. I wanted to get close to her but I was scared she would wake up and see me. I didn’t deserve to be close to her after all I’ve done yet I couldn’t stay away from her. I went to the bed and feel on my knees, the tears in my eyes had made my vision blur so I blinked to let them flow freely. “I’m sorry Elisa,” I mumbled, my eyes on her burnt hand….the same hand I burnt. Looking at it brought all the memories back and I fucking hated myself. I hated myself for everything I had put her through and I just wanted to put a gun to my head and pull the trigger. *************** Marrying your seventh grade crush and first love was a dream come true for Elisa Davis. She had been in love with Nikolai Smith since she bumped into him in seventh grade. Who wouldn’t fall in love with him? Nikolai had the looks, popularity and money. So when she found out that her father had sold her off to pay the debt he was owing Nikolai’s father, instead of being mad, she was rather ecstatic because her dreams have finally comes true. But Nikolai feels the same way she feels? Will he ever feel the same way he feels? Will he ever reciprocate his feelings? Why are there too many secrets? Can the couple handle what life throws their way?
IHM-XVII
ELISA SMITH
A week passed in a flash and the doctor who happens to be the man who saved me from those guys who so happens to be my doctor and Niokolai's friend told Nikolai something which he refuses to inform me about which I am forced to believe it is something important. I try asking him most of the time but he diverts the conversation.
He has been acting all careful around me lately and trying his best to make me forget about his past deeds but then how can I forget when he keeps on apologizing each passing minute he is around me. I've made it known to him that I have already forgiven him but he just doesn't believe it. One thing I learnt from an old lady who use to visit the church a few blocks from where I lived as a kid, She always told me to learn to forgive people and also forget about it and with that I will always be at peace but Nikolai seems to make that hard with his constant apologies.
