When love is not enough, what is?

Everything is over. Nothing will remain the same, but I trust him and our love. Yes I will tell him everything, he will do everything in his power to protect me, us. I look in the mirror, my hair is a mess, my makeup smeared all over my face, the corner of my lip bleed, there is hickey on my neck, bluish handprint on my wrist. My dress torn and I am bleeding in between my leg. I was raped, in my own home, by my own people, my bestfriend.

He said he love me that he will do everything to stop the wedding. When I rejected him, I saw a different man, he is no longer the funny and understanding David that I know. He's a Monster, he hit me, and even when I told him I am pregnant with Adam's child it didnt stop him at all. He punched the life out of me and he violated me. My bestfriend, someone that I trust my life with raped me violently while beating me again and again. He want to kill my child and put his inside of me. I fight him, Bite him and I got his flesh under my nail but my small build is not enough to fight his. After hours of assaulting me, he left me on the cold floor but not before whispering in my ear that I shall tell no one about what has happened. No one will believe me, Adam will leave me.

I know he is lying, Adam will always trust me, my partner, my companion, my other half. He will understand me right? So I gathered whatever left in me and I push myself from the floor, my head is dizzy, my eyes blurry but I know I cannot stop, I force myself to walk, I need to reach Adam. We will fight David together. I tried to his cellphone but it was engage. I know David will do anything to manipulate the situation, but when Adam see my condition he will definitely understand the truth.

It is dangerous to drive in my state, but time wait for no man, as much as I trust Adam, David is his childhood bestfriend, they grow up together. But I truly hope our love is strong enough against his slander.

Reaching to Adam's building, I quickly drag my feet to the elevator, I didnt greet anyone as I usually do but I can feel the stares toward me. I can hear the guard asking If I am okay but I just ignore him and quickly get in the elevator and push to Adam's floor. He is the CEO of the company so his office naturally at the top floor.

My hands clammy, my head getting worse, I can even see dark spot forming but the fight is not over. The elevator stop and with determination I step out from the elevator to his room, I smile because the truth will prevail. and I am innocent in this story. I push open the door to his office but what I saw totally shocked me.

I saw my other half, Adam looking at me but instead of concern, his face contort with rage. I quickly run to him, I know he must be angry when he saw my condition, this rage is not for me but my assaulter. But before I am able to envelop him in my arm, I was push against the wall.

"Why?!" He asked me. My soft hearted Adam pressed me against the wall like I am his enemy. I look into his eyes but I can no longer find any love or compassion toward me. Then I look around the room, of course his family and a smiling David in the room.

"Do you trust me Adam? Do you trust our love?" I asked him looking straight to his eyes.

No response from him.

"David told you something right? Did he told you how he rape and beat your pregnant fiancee too? Look at me! Look into my eyes! You said my eyes is the path to my soul! Will you trust me?" I pulls his hand into mine begging him to believe me. Tears running on my face.

"Stop! I will never trust you again. I love you with my all, my family accepted you, but it was never enough, you want David too. When he rejected you, you resort to this scheme to turn me against him?! How could you, If I dont know the truth I may have fall for your trick. Your fake tears will no longer work on me. Please do not show your face in front of me again. We are done!" He yelled at me.

All the fight left my soul at his word. I pull out the ring and throw at his face, I look at the face of everyone in the room. His parent, they look at me with disgust, his sister who I love the most was crying but didnt even dare to look at me. They are my family, I have no one in this world aside to them but they leave me too.

I just drag myself away from him, I have nothing else to say, I feel numb but I force myself to walk away from him.

1 week before our wedding, I lost every single one that matters. I can feel that my baby no longer with me, reaching to my car, I drive away from Adam, David and life. Once I know longer see his building I close my eyes and its time to rest, I am too tired for this life. I heard loud horn and schreeching sound but then darkness.

I am invalid, woman with no womb. 1 month has passed, I was rush to the hospital due to an accident, but based on the report I was sexually violated and my baby died in my womb

I was in a life and death condition that doctor need to remove my womb to save me. I cant even remember who am I, I feel numb.

The doctor said I got lucky, my fiance, a man named Adam he never left my side from the day I was brought to the hospital. Adam, a handsome guy, he will visit me daily without fail, sometime a young girl will accompany him, any other day an old couple will come visit me. They always cry, they always say sorry. But I cant recall anything at all. My day passess in blur.

I spend my days looking at the wall, ceiling clock. Adam said David has confessed and currently serving his time in jail for what he did to me. I wonder what did I do this person that he assault me badly and put me in this state.

"Why?" I asked Adam the other day, that is the First thing come out my mouth after ever since I was brought to the hospital. I look into his eyes and ask him again "Why he did that to me?" Adam was taken aback with my question,

He closed his eyes and take a deep breath.

"Love, because he love you, obsessed with you, he thought If he broke you, you will come to him eventually" Adam sigh.

"Do you love me too?" Adam took my hand his, kissing each of my knuckles he smile " Always and forever my love."

I put my palm at the side of his face, looking at him lovingly.

"Thank you Adam, I am sorry that I forgot about us, they said you are my fiance, are we truly in love, do you still want me now?" I was scared of his reply but I know I need know this. I may not remember us but I have a strong feeling for him since he is the consistent person from the moment I open my eyes.

If he can accept me with all my faults, then I will try my best to love him to remember us. I will not leave him as long as he still want me.

Adam quickly engulf me in his strong arm, I feel safe and warmth. "I will always want you, love you. You are my forever, I am so sorry I didnt protect you" I can feel his tears, I can feel his love for me.

"I am sorry I cant protect myself from him, they said I loss our baby and my...my..womb. I am incomplete, I am sorry Adam." I cried hard in his arm, this is the first time I show emotions after a month.

"No my love! Please dont blame yourself, Its was never your fault, you are the innocent one. I am complete with you, I only need you in my life. You complete me, you are perfect enough for me."

That night both of us mourned for our loss, for our baby. Maybe I am a defect as woman but Adam love is enough for me, I want to live for his love because I know he will always love me. He will always trust me.

I cannot remember our past but I know we will have better future together.

I love her from the moment I saw her, the quiet girl who spent all her time in the library. She has an ocean blue eyes, petite body, and brunette hair. David and I we were blessed with not just looks but money and brains too, so we rarely spend time in the library. That day we accidentally swapped our book was the first time I went to library, because her book was basically borrowed from the library and I need her contact information to get mine back. Lucky for me she was there too, she was trying to apologies at the counter because she lost her borrowed book.

When I approached her to returned back her book, I can see how bright her face was, she was so glad that in returned she offer to buy me coffee. Unlike other girls that normally come with other intention, she bought me a cup of coffee as a thanks and thats it. Which puzzles me at first, she was never flirty, she didnt offer her number or even tries to get my number. She really intrigued me.

From that moment onwards, I try every chance to get a glimpes of the blue eyed girl. She always reading, studying, tutoring. A very hardworking and definitely not a party type girl.

She literally had no friends and zero social life, she is basically a talented artist, but she pursued in business due to better employment opportunities.

Both David and I will takeover our family business, ideally we both major in business and we excel in it with flying colors. So when out lecturer asked for volunteer for one to one tutoring, I nominated myself to be Isla tutor. We became friend from then on and after 1 year she accepted to become as my girlfriend.

My parents was very supportive of our relationships and they love Isla like their own daughter. She had no family so she love mine as hers. She love to cook and every time she come to my house she will always spend her time with my mom cooking and baking, my sister Violet really adores Isla, she is the sister she never had, I knew they shared about almost everything with each others, school, fashion, boys. My father definitely her biggest supporter, when he knew Isla talent as an artist, he offered her to pursued her studies in arts. Isla then switch from business major to Art.

David is my only best friend, we know each other since childhood, we were always together and never separated, I considered him as my blood brother. Our taste and hobbies are very similar, even our goal in life is similar to each other. I am glad that he accepted Isla and love her like family. We are so happy together like a real family, after we graduated I proposed to Isla which she accepted of course.

Isla and David always spend time together due to their interests in arts, which I am not really good at. They are like best friend with each other. David has always praised Isla, how he want everything in a girl like Isla. He always told me how lucky I was to have love.

I know I am the luckiest guy, only if I trust her as much as I love her. Only if..
