Dangerous Desires Novel

19 My Monster

Tia

The speed at which Luke left the house made me suspect the matter was urgent. Because I did not stay long in the bathroom. When I got the MMS by one-thirty, I was shocked. It was from an unknown number. At first, I wanted to believe it was an old picture, but it wasn’t. I was in shock. I wondered why Luke would lie to me about leaving Elisabeth. I wondered if he was just playing me and using me as his pastime. I didn’t want to jump to conclusions until I got the whole story, but, damn, it hurt. They had kissed.

A message came after the photo, and I read it. “Be careful how quickly you give your heart away,” It had no name attached to it, and I knew somehow that Elisabeth did not send those photos herself. She must have asked someone to send the message and image to me. Luke did tell me where he was going, but he did not tell me who he would be meeting there. It meant it wasn’t a secret. I decided to wait patiently for him to come home and tell me what was happening. I could not stop looking at the picture, and every time I did, I cried, wanting to believe it wasn’t real. Maybe photoshopped like what Stacy had done.

Although I could not stop crying, I was relieved when he entered the room by two in the afternoon; even if he was the one in that picture, they never left the cafe, and they did not spend too much time together. It still hurt that I would see a picture of him kissing her.

After Luke told me what happened, I was shaken. I did not want that kind of complication but sitting in the bathroom, trying to gather my thoughts, it hit me that Elisabeth might have gotten pregnant deliberately and might be trying to use it to control Luke and come between us. She was messing with the wrong woman. I braced myself and got over it in the bathroom. I knew exactly how to make her lose. I wanted Luke to be comfortable enough to tell me anything. He must really care about me for her to try to use this to control him.

I knew my resolve shocked him. I felt his relief, and I was glad we had crossed that bridge. “I am not mad simply because this happened before our wedding, Luke,” I told my husband,” No more surprises please,” I pleaded with him.

Luke approached me and bent to kiss me, then placed his forehead against mine.

“Thank you, Tia.” he breathed, “I meant what I said in the tent. I will never cheat on you or do anything that will cause you pain. I mean it,” he said, and I believed him. I felt it.

He kissed me with passion, and I returned the same. Then I remembered the oddity about the message I received and pulled away from him. “Luke, I do not think Elisabeth sent the picture and the message,” I pointed out.

“Of course, she didn’t. She had someone take the picture and send it to you. I wouldn’t put it past her.” He said, and I shook my head.

“No, it does not seem like it, Luke. Elisabeth always wants me to know she sent the pictures. All the messages she had sent were with her name.” I pointed out.

“Maybe she got scared because I warned her to stop after she sent the last message that day..” he said, and I smiled and shook my head. It was time to tell him the truth.

I went to sit on the bed and looked up at him.

“She never stopped sending those messages, Luke. She sent messages every day while we were at the resort. She did not know we were together, so she tried to insinuate you were with her.” I told him, and he was shocked.

“Why didn’t you tell me, Tia!” he asked, surprised at my actions, and I sighed.
