Forbidden (BDSM Novel)

Chapter41: A Query

When I was a kid, mom used to take me to the spa, we'd relax and talk about boys. I don't have much to tell since I was just about 10 years old but she had plenty of stories to share about her experiences, the lessons she learned. She told me to always wear my bravery suit, wear it like second skin. Especially on my heart because of how many times she got her heart broken but she also told me that every heartache was a lesson in disguise. I was heartbrokened that time of course, my first boyfriend- Andrew. I liked Andrew, we held hands but that day I saw him holding hands with Lisa and Lisa was my best friend. I cried so much that day. Then all the guys I've met did the same, they cheated on me with some other girl and it just sucks ass. Because of that I developed commitment issues. I don't wanna commit to someone because I know sooner or later that person will leave me and never come back. I told her that and mom made everything better. She always does. I tell her everything, well almost everything but still it would be nice to tell her that I finally found someone that I wanna commit myself to. Sure he left me but he came back, I want to tell mom about him and that person has been literally staring me in the face.

The thought of me telling mom about Hunter and I made me feel all sorts of things. If she's alive, I don't know if she'll approve of us but I do know that she loved us both unconditionally. My heart longs for her everyday. I just wish she's here with us.

"Happy birthday, mom." I whispered blowing the candle on the cupcake. I couldn't help but cry as I reminisce about her laugh and her face. Hunter hugged me tight, I feel like breaking.

"Happy birthday, mom." Hunter murmured, kissing my head. His warmth made me feel better.

"Do you think she's happy?" I said through tears

"Of course, baby. Mom is at peace."

"I mean about us?"

Hunter stiffened which made me look up, his expression seems distant and deep in thought then he smiled "I'd like to believe she is. You know how much she loves us, we're together and we'll never leave each other alone. That's what she wants, right?"

I nodded, pushing my face in his chest. His shirt now damp because of my tears. "I love you, mom." I whispered countless times until Hunter calmed me down.

We celebrated the day with two sets of twins, by that I mean with Astra and Luna, with Hunter and Theo. Hunter insisted to have a mini get together to honor her life here on earth. The twins seems to be really excited about the idea. I also invited my friends Earl and Levi to come, they are more than thrilled to see Hunter again and even more amazed that Hunter has a twin. They were shamelessly adoring Theo and the whole time I felt a little embarrassed but they're funny to watch.

My place was packed with the people I love. Hunter and Astra cooked for us and I have to say that they are amazing. I didn't know could Hunter cook this good. I was really impressed, it made me love him more. Every day this love grows as well as my fondness for his family. Luna emails me almost everyday and his parents sometimes video calls me. I don't even know they have signal down there! This day feels perfect. If mom were here, she would have loved them all.

I hope my love reaches you there in heaven.

The next morning, I've decided to do something very dangerous. That if I passed this, I would call it my second life.

"Just call her, Ellie. Don't be dramatic." Hunter rolled his eyes

"She will literally kill me, Hunt. You tell her!"

he made a face "No way, that bitch's a psychopath."

I grunted, frustrated.

I've been planning on telling Rhea that Hunter and I are back together. She's the only person who hates Hunter Petrova as much as I do. Well, used too. So I don't know what her reaction will be. It really means the world to me if she see him the way I do now. Rhea's my best friend too and I don't wanna loose her because of this.
