162. Patrick's Nightmare

BWB 162

Patrick could only pensive in his study. He stared blankly at the empty table in front of him. How could he not, the woman he loved so much had left him. He was abandoned by the person he really wanted to be with.

He pounded the table. His anger at Clara was unstoppable. His illegitimate child had made Linda, the woman he loved, just walk away, leaving him alone.

Patrick was feeling crazy. He deeply regretted that he had lost the thing that was most precious to him.

"This is all because of that damn woman! Bastard!" Patrick shrieked as he threw his cognac bottle onto the marble floor, getting it wet and dangerous with shards of glass.

Patrick took another bottle. That night, he kept dreaming and cursing everyone. Including himself.

"Stupid Clara! Stupid Patrick! Stupid Eva!" The words he chanted like a spell. Cursing his foolishness, Eva the temptress, and Clara, the innocent child born from her illegitimate relationship.
