Hurry back

What a minute....Natalia just had sex with her exhusbands son?    WTF?  Oh my goodness.  I didn't see this coming at all.  Just wow!!!  Thanks for a great update. 

Oh my, you can't get no more blunt then what she said and his response.  Good start to the story.  Thanks

So after this chapter I realize that Natalia is a work in progress. This chapter pointed out her love for her family but also her need not to disappoint. I have to ask what does Natalia really want? What does Natalia really need? Because it's not her best friend or her a BF's uncle pushing her into living a life that she doesn't seem ready for. It's not her sister who can straight up lie to her. Or a man that she has been dating for what 3 months that pops the questioning knowing she isnt really emotionally ready for something more serious. And it's not Natalia agreeing to a marriage because she feels like it's either the right thing or due to pressure. Maybe it's me but if a many is going to surprise me with a family gathering and proposal he better not be surprised by the Hell Naw that comes out of my mouth.

The one thing I hope for Natalia is she finds that happiness she so deserves because she has been beat down in one marriage where she was a dirty little secret. She has let guilt of her actions and those that claim to love her drain her emotionally where she would rather push away someone that truly wanted to be with her. Only due to his own insecurities kept their relationship about them and no one else. And now she has this man that would rather talk to everyone else about their "relationship" then her. So let's see by the age of what 38 will Natalia have found what she has wanted or will she be in another marriage where instead of being a secret, their families will always be all up in their business. 

Joelle, this is why I love your work because you have my anxiety in a tizzy because of a character that is so flawed that I just want the best for her. (Even if I think in order for her to find that she needs to get away from all those people in her life thinking they are "helping" her and discover who she is and who she truly wants.) Looking forward to the next chapter even if I might have take an anxiety pill to read it. As for your writers comment, " Do you and once those readers see how the story plays out they will see the method to your madness even if the ride there is one helluva bumpy one. Lol"

I doubt that even your author's chapter notes could've prepared me for this. I never saw this coming. I swear you keep me on my toes each chapter. Your writing always makes me an emotional wreck and it only keeps me wanting more. Amazing chapter.

WOW...I've been away for a while and was happy to see the updates.  But now, after this update, I can't wait to see how Natalia and Anthony strive to be totally honest with each other and maybe,...just maybe find a way back to each other. 

Nyeesha

not much of a review but it was good reeeeeal good. the update that is. not the vodka, lool!

thanks for a quick update! i hope barb stays the *beep* away. dont want her going on about how it was about time you broke up with that boy. lord. she's coming - isnt she? -__-' 

I enjoyed this chapter. Natalia has finally started to wake up. Anthony is young but it is Natalia that needs to grow up. She needs to learn to communicate like an adult. She's a basket case letting everyone run roughshod over her.

I like her and Anthony together but she did the right thing. She did not like the way he was operating in the relationship so she told him to leave. That's fine. His excuses for lying to his family were weak. Perhaps it was not the right time to announce his relationship but it was shameful that he out right lied. Natalia does not have time for that.

Natalia's regression is stupefying.  This is ground that has been tread thoroughly with her and Anthony has been much more forthcoming than she has been.

This relational dynamic is NOT normal.  I think it is right to keep it quiet and under wraps.  Look at who Anthony's father is and what his mother would do.  If Anthony had just straight out told everyone, people would have been swooping in left and right on top of Natalia's horrible sister.  She's had a physiological loss as well as a soul loss; a child that apparently never was.

Mistakes  have been made on the parts of both Anthony and Natalia but that's humanity.  Natalia needs to shake it off and buck up.

Thank you for the update.  It is much appreciated.

Wow!!! Awesome chapter. So heartbreaking, but she needed to do that.  Not that I don't want them together..I do.  It's just Anthony has to grow up at least a little and Nat has to make up her mind what she really wants.  He can't hide her, he should've known that. She knows he's young and their relationship started out totally wrong.  Will they date around for awhile then get back together or just realize they can't be?? I'm interested to see how this plays out.  Great chapter.

Wow...... Great chapter. I hope they can find their way to one another.

I LOVE this story. Talia should have pulled the plug on her and Anthony a while ago. Yes, he is a grown up but she has too much baggage. Yes, they slept together, but honestly who cares. Things happen, move on. Talia needs to move on and so does Anthony. If they are meant to be, they will. Until then Talia needs time to regroup and heal after her divorce and the no baby issue. Anthony needs to figure out what he wants to do with himself and his life. Sure, I believe he is more than attracted to Talia, but the timing is so off. Richard needs to walk off a very short cliff somewhere. Talia did the right thing by divorcing him. I do believe Richard is sorry, but what's done is done and his being sorry should not and hopefully will not make Talia even consider taking him back. That ship and sailed and sunk and far as I'm concerned.

Talia did not say it, but Anthony's actions with his fabricated story mirrored his dad's action throughout their whole marriage. While Richard did not lie about her, he simply did not tell about her, he was hiding her which is all the worse. Anthony just made up a tale, lol! About a woman who he cannot stand no less! Yes, Talia needs to move on from all this right now. I do not blame Anthony and I sort of feel for him, but he is NOT ready for a relationship with Talia. He may never be. No woman wants a man that hides her or is afraid to mention her to his family or just in general. Again, I can understand Anthony's way of thinking, but that right there should tell him, him and Talia will not work especially if he cannot stand the wrath of his family for her. And again, I could not imagine being in his shoes. People can say, 'If he loves her it should not matter.' and that is true, but given the background he is in a sticky situation. Imagine having a son or being the son coming home to tell the family he loves his dad's ex-wife and they are a couple. While not horrible, it is definitely awkward to say the least. 

And if he loves her, good luck Anthony. In all of this Anthony is the victim, victim is too strong a word, but he gets a bigger break than Talia and that whorish dad of his. And I do not blame Talia but she needs to focus on herself before getting into a relationship with anyone. Great update!!!
