Agustin DeLuca looked at the photos infront of him, rage burning through his veins, as he watched his wife in someone else's arms.
~~~~
He was one of the most renowned businessman of the country, know for his ruthlessnes and arrogance. He prided himself for being good at reading people like an open book, he thought nothing goes unseen from his scrutinizing eyes, yet the irony, he couldn't see the truth of his own wife when innocence was written all over her face, vulnerability swirling in her doe eyes, silently begging for him to believe her.

He lost everything that mattered to him two years back, because he chose to trust the wrong person, but now that he knows the truth, there is nothing he won't do to get her back, nothing.

'Get ready Onika DeLuca , I am coming,'  he said to himself, determination shining in his orbs, holding a dark promise.

"I promise you, the face I remember before dying will be yours, the last thing I will wish to see will be you, whether it is today, tomorrow or fifty years from now.It will always be you, Onika".

-Agustin DeLuca.

Grieving Hearts

"Do you want to hear a story?" I asked her, keeping my anger at a bay. 


She looked at me confused. Then simply nodded her head without any clue. She must be thinking I have gone mad, telling a story in between of this serious discussion. 


"Once upon a time there was a beautiful bird with most beautiful wings.. She was the apple of her owners eye. Who never let her out of her cage in the fear of loosing her. 


All the other birds were jealous of her, for she had everything they ever wished for. She doesn't had to fight for food,water and shelter like other birds, she had all the best things at her feet, at her deck and call. 


"Do you want to know the truth?" I asked her and she nodded her head vigorously like a small child.
