Our choice Chapter 1 Advice

Hello, I am Luma, pleasure!

I am 28 years old,I am a brunette with medium brown hair,skin not so white,my hair hits the height of my lungs,it is straight and with few curls,eye color dark brown.

I live alone in Belo Valle, my apartment is not so big, even because I am not so spacious, I am single, I bank and live a quiet life, well, not so quiet if you look at my work.

My parents are of age and live in the next town over, I have an adopted brother, my parents have raised him since he was very young, his name is Vincent, he is a doctor and lives abroad.

Even though I work a lot, I try to be as present as possible for my parents, because they were the ones who helped me get here and have everything I have nowadays. I love my family very much and they are everything to me.

I was about to forget, I am graduated in psychology and in law, I have a clinic where I work as a psychologist and it is the function that I practice the most, even though I like law, I fell deeply in love with psychology.

This is just a summary of my life so far.

*____________________________________*

I arrive at the clinic late again,I spot my secretary trying to calm down yet another client,the last few days have been complicated for me,I've been having too much insomnia,unfortunately I can't delete from my mind completely,everyone's problem.

"Look there!!!" - Says my secretary smiling. "She's here!"

The woman looks at me seriously.

"It's about time." - She makes an angry face and rolls her eyes boredly.

"Good morning Thaís,good morning ma'am,sorry for the delay,I've had some setbacks."

"Okay."

The woman and I walk into my office and there I hear a bunch of complaints about her life,what did she want me to do?,these people can't solve their most basic problems,they can't just talk to the cause of their irritation,everything is to put the blame on someone else and pay for me to listen and come up with the solution(most obvious) to their problems.

I leave the room after serving 5 people,it was too tiring,I sit in the waiting room and breathe,secrets and complaints wear me out too much.

"Is everything okay Luma?" asks Thais.

"Yes, Thata, but it's tiring, you know..."

"I can imagine, you only come if you consult altered people."

"Yes, and what's worse, they want me to hand over the solution to their problems on a platter.

But the phone rings and she answers:

"Prado Clinic, can I help you?

You only have vacancies for tomorrow. No, ma'am, I can't make an exception for you. What about my boss? I can try, just wait a minute.

Pause

"What happened?" - I ask curious, but already imagining the subject.

"A woman wants to make an urgent appointment, she needs an hour of your time today."

"But do we have more time today?"

"We do, but it depends on whether you want to stay late.

"Fine by me" - I shrug.

I didn't have much to do outside of here,my life was always the same,always monotonous,it was from work to home,from home to work,I didn't used to go out to have fun,so working a little more and earning some more money,wouldn't be a bad thing for me.

:Back to the link.

"Okay,she accepted that appointment,be here 4:30. Okay,you're welcome."

: End.

We went to lunch together and then back to work. After lunch I always came back refreshed,however some problems were still on my mind,talking made me less focused on them.

"How are the relationships going Lu?" - Curious question.

Thais was a great employee,always efficient and became a great friend,she had blonde hair with fine curls,her skin was pale like that of a vampire,she didn't like the sun very much,she was a younger woman than me and wanted me to follow her looser,extroverted,fun rhythm,I'm the most closed type of woman,I've always been like that,my mother says I'm old since I was born,because I've always been very serious,introverted.

"I don't have that,I don't want and in no way aim to have a loving relationship with anyone."

"Luma,we are getting older,we need someone to help us and give us the best in life." - He says in a dramatic tone.

"You are talking like my mother."

"She knows what is good." - I smile silly.

"Not for now Thaís,I want to focus on my career,my work..."

"That's always the excuse." - Says the same already cutting my speech about my to-do list.

We closed the subject since I didn't like to talk about these things, we arrived at the clinic, I attended to some more people until I got to the emergency room.

"Luma,they have arrived!" - Warns Thata.

"Have the people in charge write down what is happening and when they are done you bring the paper and the patient." - I give the order.

"All right."

She leaves and after almost 20 minutes she enters with a paper in her hands and a boy by her side,he wasn't so young,but he wasn't old either,he seemed to be one of those teenagers who live in a bad phase,the phase of rebellion,disrespect,lack of maturity and doing everything their friends tell them to do.

He was brunette,had low hair,lighter skin than mine and blue eyes.

"Good afternoon." - I smile to be nice.

"Good"- He says with a serious expression and a little annoyed.

"This is Diogo and here is what you asked me for." - Thaís hands me the paper and leaves.

I read it and there lies the cause of the urgency and the same is in front of me and it was everything I had already imagined.

"Everything okay Diogo?"

"Yes."

"Why are you here?"

"Because my parents decided to punish me because of some friendships."

"It's always them,the friendships." - I speak out loud.

"They are nice,my best friends and are people I can trust,but my parents don't like them."

"I wonder how nice they are and that is why they are not in their punishment as company and fellowship."

"They have no one to boss them around,they make their own choices...whereas I am forced to be here."

"They say they don't, do you really believe that?"

"Yes."

"Look, according to the list your mother filled out, you're having trouble at school, you're getting involved with people who don't help you grow up, and you're disobedient."

"And what about that?" - He says snidely.

"I thought you would deny it."

He stands still and stares at me.

"They just want you to get better, to do well, believe me, if you get better you won't need to come back here, but if you keep this up you'll have a lot of appointments."

"I don't need to change, my friends like me this way.

"Your parents want you to get better and I advise you to get better for your own good.

"They want too much and give nothing in return, I'm not obliged to follow rules."

"Okay. Well Diogo,I'll go over our appointment today,see you next time and think about what you were told today."

He leaves without saying anything,slams the door and so he leaves,I sigh,rebellious teenagers are the worst,they annoy me and tire me more than adults who don't know how to solve their own problems. After writing down a few things about his appointment,I pass everything on to Thais,she makes a note with his name,because we would be watching his evolution,then she talks to them and they leave,soon it was our turn as well.

When I get home I take a warm shower to relax,after the shower I dry off and put on some comfortable pajamas,make something quick and simple to eat,after I finish dinner I brush my teeth and go to sleep,I was so tired that I sleep without much effort.

SHANA GRAY

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

Sexy Behind The Mask

Sexy Behind The Mask

Ellie Wynters

She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith-the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room-Manhattan's most exclusive masked club-she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."
