SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD Is it Christian
“I believe you,” Phoebe whispered, she was so emotional that she could barely speak. “But love alone isn’t enough, Seth. We’ve hurt each other in ways that can’t be undone. You didn’t just break my heart; you broke my spirit. And I don’t think I can ever come back from that. ” Seth’s face twisted in agony and his dark eyes were full of suffering. “I know,” he said softly, his voice rough. “I let you down. But I can change. I can be the man you want. ” Phoebe stepped back and shook her head at the same time. “It’s not about being better. It’s about moving on. We’ve tried, Seth. We’ve tried to make this work and we’ve failed. Sometimes, love is not enough to mend what is broken. Sometimes, it is about letting go. ” Steady silence followed them like fog. Seth’s jaw clamped”, his hands were fisted at his sides as if he was on the verge of losing his temper. “Is it Christian?” he asked, almost in a whisper. Phoebe blinked, and felt the pressure of the question that was asked. She had n
SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD Would You Ever Turn Back?
Phoebe nodded her head and felt a certain kind of relief that she had said everything that she wanted to say. It wasn’t easy and it never would be. But it was done. She had said her goodbye to Seth and she had also buried that part of her life as well.When Phoebe and Christian came out into the fresh air of the evening she sighed, the burden of the last farewell was off her. The street was quiet, only the wind blowing through the trees in the vicinity could be heard. It was quiet, calm, as if the opposite to the storm that had been brewing in her soul for ages. Christian looked at her and even though his eyes were tender, they were asking questions. “Are you okay?” he whispered. Phoebe stood in silence for a few moments processing his words, before replying to his question. The oppression was still felt but it was not as strong as before and there was calmness that came with it. She had made the right choice, though it took her a long time to know that she was making the right deci
SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD Letting Go
“I was about to say, I have not said much,” Phoebe finally whispered. “To you, to myself, even to Seth,” there are so many things that I’ve kept hidden, things I did not want to confront. But now after all this I can’t turn a blind eye.” Christian’s face did not change and his eyes were fixed on her face as he nodded for her to go on. He did not hurry her, did not force. He just stood there as he always did, watching her intently waiting for her to be ready. Phoebe gaze to return to the sky, and the stars that sparkled like the dream of a better tomorrow. “I’ve been trying to cling to the past for so long,” she whispered, “I was trying to mend a broken relationship, I thought that if I give enough love to Seth, if I am patient enough things will change for the better but they didn’t. ” Christian moved a little and her eyes followed him again. “Well, now?” he said quietly, his tone filled with concern. “Now that you’ve let go, what do you want, Phoebe?” The question seemed to weigh
SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD My Regrets
The words that he said made Phoebe feel the warmth in her chest. This was different – so different from what she had been through with Seth. It was not pressurized, it was not hurried. Just understanding. Just kindness. “I am not asking you to wait for a lifetime,” she said with a small smile on her lips. “I just require time to recover, time to come to terms with everything. ” Christian nodded. “I’ll be here,” he said just like that. “Whenever you’re ready. ” They just stared at each other for a while and the night breeze was chilly as it embraced them. For the first time in years, Phoebe felt lighter, freer than she had in years. For the first time in a long time she felt empowered and that she was the master of her own destiny. That was quite scary but at the same time it was quite fun. And so, they kept on walking and as Phoebe did, she understood that she was not only leaving Seth behind but she was walking into the unknown. And for the first time in a long time, that didn’t
SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD Because You're a Human
You do not need to solve all the problems at the moment,” Sarah said softly. “You are not running from one man to another. You are healing. And healing takes time. Seth was a big part of your life, and it is normal to feel some sort of feelings and regrets. But that does not make you a failure and does not mean that you cannot move forward.” Phoebe lowered her gaze towards her hands and she was overwhelmed with guilt and confusion. “But Christian deserves more than someone who has not moved on, right? He deserves a woman who can offer him herself, not a woman who is still nursing a broken heart.” Sarah let out a breath and put her hand on Phoebe’s shoulder. “Christian understands what you have been through Phoebe, he doesn’t want you to erase all that and dive into a new relationship immediately, he just wants to support you in any way that you need him right now.” Slower and slower Phoebe nodded, her heart aching but her head a little less fuzzy. “I suppose I have always feared th
SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD It's not Going to be Easy
Phoebe looked at Sarah, trying to understand what she just said to her. It was true. The woman who once fell in love with Seth, who tried her best to save their marriage, who once dreamt of a future together with him, seemed so distant now. She had turned into a completely different person, a woman who is not yet sure of what she wants in life.“And Christian?” Phoebe questioned as her mind wandered towards him. ”So what role does he play in all of this?” Sarah smiled gently and her face lit up. “Christian is a man who cares for you. He has been patient, kind, and understanding when you were still lost. He is allowing you time to heal but at the same time, he is telling you that he is waiting for you whenever you are ready.” Phoebe bit her lip, her thoughts are still with Christian. He had been nothing but supportive but her heart was divided between Seth and Christian and the new possibility that came with him. She understood that Christian needed more than half of her heart, but s
SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD Why Being Jealous?
It’s because you are human and you have the freedom to make good and bad decisions. But don’t be overwhelmed by the fear of the unknown or the burden of the past. It is one of the things that make you powerful.” After a slow nod, Phoebe tried to absorb what Sarah said.Phoebe gasped for air when she realized the implication of what Sarah was saying. She had been a prisoner of her own thoughts regarding the wrong decision and now she realized that there would be no right decision. Life was complex, chaotic and full of the unknown. But Sarah was right. The only real error would be to let herself stagnate, to be afraid to take that leap, to do something different, to be confident in herself.Phoebe sank back into the couch, her limbs growing even more leaden than they had been before, as if the burden of the decision she had yet to make was weighing her down. She looked out the window, at the orange, warm light of the evening that painted the world in peaceful color so unlike the storm t
SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD What is Holding You Back
However, even with all that Emma did for him, with all her tenderness and love, he still thought of Phoebe. He blew out air, and with a negative nod, he responded. He had to stop torturing himself like this. Phoebe had her decision to make and he had to let go of that and accept what she had chosen. Seth took his phone and went through the contact list and clicked on Emma. His thumb was placed over the call button. He should call her, he thought. He should go over to her place, spend the evening with her. She would listen, make him understand that things were going to be fine. But his hand came down and the phone fell back on the table.*No,* he thought bitterly. I don’t want to talk about it. I don’t want to feel anything right now.*With a heavy breath he rose from the chair, picked up his jacket and threw it carelessly over his back. There was only one way to shut out his thoughts tonight. He needed a drink.The bar Seth entered was poorly lit, people were engaged in low conversat
