The sunlight shone upon her face. She opened her eyes tiredly and felt weak.The sun rays penetrated into her eyes, and she shut them quickly.Slowly, she opened her eyes and couldn't recognize where she was. All she remembered was Benjamin taking her on a date to the hotel.And now her head aches badly. Under the duvet she found herself naked. That was when it occurred to her that someone has taken advantage of her, she has been "raped!",she found hickeys on her laps,her waist and her neck."How did I get here"?How come a total stranger had his way through me?. Were questions never answered by anyone. While she remained seated on the bed, she heard footsteps and quickly rushed into the bathroom.The voices were loud enough to slip through the tiles of the bathroom.It was Benjamin's voice that came through at first: soft and cruel. Yes, it is done! . Take a look at the duvet. "I think you should take pictures," Helen said. "Now, you have enough reasons to divorce her and be with me th

Benjamin came back in the evening, the air between them was thin and fragile. She had prepared his favorite meal, but he barely touched it. When he finally looked up from his plate, his eyes were calm. "Audrey," he said, "do you still love me?". She blinked, uncertain of the answer to give to such a question. "Of course, I do. Why would you even ask me such a question?". He leaned forward. "Then prove it." "Prove it how?". He exhaled sharply, without any guilt. " Your father left most of his properties to you, as his first daughter — the house, lands, and accounts. But I have actually been thinking... If we truly want a fresh start, everything should be in my name. One name, one love, one trust, one future." Especially now we are married and you are my wife. She stared at him, dropping her spoon against the plate. " You want me to give all my dad's properties to you?". Benjamin met her eyes constantly. "Yes. It's the only way you can prove your love for me." And you still believ

She stood still in the living room, unable to move. She wanted to scream, but no words came out. She watched how both of them swept past her, moving upstairs. Still in motion, Benjamin turned to her once more, his eyes cold. "Go to bed, Audrey," he said flatly. She didn't move. "Are you really taking her upstairs?" He turned away. Without any answer. Helen gave a smirk. "You heard him, darling. It's been a long night." Her lips trembled. Her legs became weak. She stood there watching as Benjamin and Helen walked up the stairs together. How he circled his arm around her waist.She heard their footsteps fade gradually until the house went quiet again. After a while, she heard something different, something else. A soft laugh. That was Helen's voice. "Ben," she said from upstairs, giggling. "She's probably listening." Benjamin's voice followed, quite nonchalant. "I don't care!." Helen, please... not now. "" Why not? " Helen teased." Maybe she needs to know what it feels like to

Audrey remained still in the same position long after Benjamin had gone upstairs, the note still in her hand— don't worry about me, Audrey. I just need time to settle things. The house became very cold and quiet, more than before. She finally decided to climb the stairs, she found him sitting on the bed, with his face buried in his palms. He refused to look up even after noticing she stepped in. "Ben," she said romantically, "you didn't even have dinner". "I don't have an appetite". His voice was flat, distant. She moved closer, her hands fidgeting nervously. "It's been four days you left me all by myself in this big house, Benjamin. You left— no message, no call, no signs. I couldn't sleep. I thought something terrible happened to you." He exhaled slowly, his eyes still glued to the floor. "I just needed space to think and clear my head." "Think about us?" She said faintly. He ignored her. Audrey's chest tightened. She sat beside him, the bed creaking under her weight. "You

Audrey remained seated at the edge of the bed, her fingers crossed. Still in awe about the not Benjamin had left behind . "Don't worry about me, Audrey. I just need time to settle things."She read the words over and over until they blurred. The house was so quiet. He'd been gone two days now, and she doesn't know if to wait or fear.Outside, the sky was losing its colour, assuring that it was about to rain. Somewhere far away, thunder murmured. -------Benjamin pulled his car over in front of Helen's gate. The sight of it sent shivers down his spins and resurfacing old memories. He shouldn't be here, he shouldn't have come. He told himself twice before stepping out of the car. The door opened before he could even knock. Helen stood there, lighted up by a golden light. She left her hair falling over her broad shoulders. Her eyes met his, steady but uncertain. "I knew you'd show up." He swallowed in hard. "I only came here to talk, Helen." She gave a smirk. "You always did

The candle on the desk was about to go off, its flame shaking like a frightened secret. Shadows trembled along the walls, and right in front of me was the letter. Sealed, with the symbol of a serpent curling around the rose . The wax had cracked under my fingers, but I hadn't opened it yet. Somehow it felt like it was waiting for breath to wake it as I laid on my palms. My heart rumpled as I tried to open it. Then.... "Audrey!" Benjamin's voice broke through the silence, sharp enough to cut through air. I turned. He stood by the doorway, hardly noticed. His eyes were wide, not in anger but in fear. A deep, old fear that seemed to know what I was about doing. "What are you doing?" His voice was low, trembling. I swallowed in hard. "Why not tell me Benjamin. What am I doing in a house where every single truth is hidden away from me?" He took a gradual step forward. "You don't have to read that letter." "Why? Because it's from Melanie?" I snapped. " Because it has one more hidde
