Broken Obsession - Part Two Read Online Free Page A

Eduardo and I fighting in the hotel room, me
ripping off his gold chain and then seeing RED . The next
thing I remember is waking up in a white hospital bed and looking
into the baby-blue scrub’s of a friendly nurse smiling down at me.
I couldn’t believe it when the doctor’s explained to me that I had
been in a coma for nearly sixteen months! Sixteen months? Good
Lord, I was never meant to wake up; all I still wanted was just to
end it—why did someone save me? Turned out, it was my mother who
found me. My mother…of all people, the one and only family member
that I thought was just as selfish as Eduardo did a maternal
act.
     
    I thought I was dead, I should have died, but then
the more days I woke up with the sun in my face, the more I wanted
to live! I was given a second chance to change things, make amends
and make life better for me.
     
    Dr. Dirk Hayward was a Godsend. He was a very caring
man and the only man I was able to talk to or willing to speak with
lacking being afraid and he helped me see the negativity of my past
and how to turn it in to something positive.
     
    Right now I have a progressive attitude, I feel bliss
and I have never felt more fulfilled. I feel as if I am walking on
air or in a cloud of happiness, I feel loved, secure and warm and
actually feel like I did die and went to Heaven.

Chapter THREE
    By slow degrees, Amber woke
up before sunlight. Her heart was racing and her adrenaline pumped
through her veins anxiously. Since leaving Fiji and her cloud nine
state, it had been the first real night she and her latest husband
had slept together throughout the night—she wasn’t used to it. What
she was used to was being at the Palm Desert Treatment Center in a
twin bed with starched white sheets that smelled like
bleach, that she
was used to; with pampered treatment, round the clock nurses and
Dr. Hayward, who she could always count on to listen to her
insecurities and when she felt restless and confused as she did so
now. But… why ? She
had absolutely everything she’s ever wanted…a man who adored her,
spoiling her to the point where his arms were her blanket and the
long length of his body had been some source of bedding, but what
was this new feeling of foreboding? Like the boogie man was about
to pop out from nowhere and frighten her to the point where she
would have to wake up from this wondrous dream. The fear felt like
foreshadowing and the foreshadowing felt somewhat like a test... a
great big test and she was afraid of making a mistake.
     
    She looked over at her husband sleeping soundly. Good
Lord, he was beautiful asleep! Like someone had posed him, he was
on his back with one arm looped around on his head, she wanted to
hug him, kiss him, dive into his chest, swim in his essence,
love—fondle him, adore him, praise his glory, but instead she
started to weep she was so overwhelmed with emotion and sprung out
of bed and found herself outside on the balcony to get some fresh
air.
     
    Amber stood over by the edge overlooking the ocean.
She still couldn’t believe she was even there!
    This was her home now and this was her new life. It
was as if she went to sleep one night with an old husband and an
old family and woke up in the morning to a new husband with a new
family. Like some strange episode of the Twilight Zone: Walking
through one door and stepping into a new dimension, one switch to
the other, effortlessly with no one to tell her that it had all
been wrong. She had awakened up from her coma only to be introduced
to a new world, a state-of-the-art frontier and she wasn’t too sure
she could handle it and Eduardo had taken care of everything. What
a control freak he was! After he whisked her away on a private jet
to Fiji, he brought her back to Pacific Palisades in California to
present her with their new residence; an exquisite five bedroom,
four baths Mediterranean home with a stunning lagoon themed pool,
playhouse and play area with swing-set and sandbox for her son
