Chapter: Chapter 67FERNANDA I finished typing my report and sent it to Mr. Wenecker's personal email, a wide smile expanded on my face, ever since I received the ultra secret job on Sunday about watching every employee in the building. And if they didn't show fruit, results in their work, or, rather said something about Miranda or even tried to harm her I just had to warn him and heads would roll. I felt like a super secret spy, with secrets and mysteries! Of course I made a point to say in my report about what Paula from HR said Monday at the restaurant, she received her first warning. As someone who worked in HR she was warned about my extra work and obviously to keep silent, in case the information about having an inspector in the building; and that it was me. Goodbye Paula. Having that feeling of power over people's jobs was satisfying when it was to put Paula and people like her in their place, but it was also scary. I almost didn't accept the proposal made by my boss on Sunday, but when I r

Chapter: Chapter 66MIRANDA Wednesday I was anxious, nervous, an endless turmoil of feelings. I didn't sleep right that night, so there I was biting my thumb. It was five in the morning and Marlon had woken up to keep me company, and after spending 45 minutes talking to my belly he had stopped to just stare at me. The pale light of that early morning didn't even pass through the curtains, but despite the short-lived silence I knew why my eyes didn't want to close and have a peaceful dream. Because today was the day. The Day we would have the appointment with Dr. Diana Watson, and get the ultrasound. You know that silence? It was broken by Marlon who wouldn't stop bugging me saying how excited he was, and asking me what sex the baby would be. As if I would know! He was blabbering so much about it that early morning, that I got stressed to the point of yelling. DO I HAPPEN TO HAVE A CRYSTAL BALL? HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW? Panting, I saw Marlon blink indifferently at my outburst, then h

Chapter: Chapter 65MIRANDA You know those wild documentary monkeys that we often see on TV? How they never seem to want to stop touching their partner; always finding an excuse even if it was to brush a thumb on the lips, or exchange kisses? Marlon and I were looking like one of those monkeys on some show, always touching each other, even innocently, whether it was to watch that Sunday night show on the couch, showered and eating popcorn, exchanging meaningful smiles, with a malicious glint in our eyes. Ever since I blew him, and then we made love on his office rug, proving how soft and comfortable it was, Marlon couldn't stop touching me and smiling like a fool. Of course, it wasn't just him who was like that. Me too, I won't lie, it was exciting just brushing the tip of my toe on his heel! Silly I know; but it seemed impossible to control my libido. Not to fornicate like rabbits, I tried to occupy myself by preparing something to eat. I was finishing making the tenth hamburger, seven for me and t

Chapter: Chapter 64MIRANDA Waking up without having my man by my side was becoming a habit I would have to nip in the bud. We were married, and the right thing to be the first sight I had to brighten my day was to see him in that bed next to me. I sat up before stretching like a cat that just woke up from a nap. The slight muscle aches that said "Hi" to me reminded me why I passed out from exhaustion. I saw on the digital clock that it was still Sunday, six o'clock in the evening. The emptiness in my stomach with the slight pangs of hunger made me get up and go to Marlon's closet, grab one of his shirts, and put it on. They didn't reach my knees like I read in books about girls who took their boyfriend's shirt after a night of love. No, they covered my intimacy, but a good part of my skin was exposed, so I grabbed a pair of his white boxer briefs and put them on; I walked out of that room, first to satisfy my hunger and then to give Marlon a lecture. Twenty minutes after eating three pieces of fri

Chapter: Chapter 63MANUELAThe news in the paper was expected; my foolish stepson was so predictable. I might pay them a visit just to see if my dear daughter had spilled the beans.Honestly, as much as she was my blood, I would have no mercy in eliminating the threat, even if I had to run over Marlon in the process.I worked hard to be where I was, in that prestigious place next to a man who could fund my desires.The years I invested to get there were long and cost me a lot of patience and cunning. When I saw that Richard returned from the armed forces injured, to a future where he worked a crappy job, in which I would have to spend the rest of my esteemed life taking care of children and getting pregnant like a breeding mule, I made sure to escape that reality.It took a while for me to get my life on the right track. Of course, I researched my victims, what they did, and of course, how much money they had.I judged everyone and thought, imagined, until I reached a conclusion of possible outcomes for

Chapter: Chapter 62MARLONI slide my fingertips over Miranda's hips, watching her sleep. After our physical activity, she practically fell asleep while I bathed her and then put her to bed.The naughty girl didn't even give in; I couldn't get what I wanted out of her, but I wouldn't force her anymore. I decided I wanted her to say she loved me again spontaneously and willingly.That would be special, and of course, I wouldn't be "drunk" after getting wasted with her father's friends, The Bloody Boars.I remembered with a smile on my face that after the unforgettable paintball game where I was at a complete disadvantage, with five against one in a vast sandy field with high hills, sparse bushes and trees, and randomly scattered low wooden walls or cabins about five feet tall for an adult to hide behind while crouching, the hunt to take down the sissy had begun.Which, in this case, the sissy was me.They gave me thirteen minutes to go hide in the field before I was hunted and massacred.But what they did

Chapter: Couple 2JOSHUAWe’ve been sitting on this bus for two hours now and I’m starting to get impatient. It’s 4:30 p.m. and the sun is going to set in about ten minutes. Apparently that fact plays an important role in our destination. Daniela hasn’t given me any other hint about where we’re going besides that.We haven’t talked much during the ride—just shared earbuds and listened to music while I watch Daniela’s reflection in the window as she reads the book she brought.— We’re here. — she says excitedly, closing her book and putting it away in her bag.— Finally. — I reply, pausing the music and taking out the earbud before putting it away and stepping off the bus.It’s cold outside and the wind feels stronger today. Good thing Daniela and I are bundled up in our jackets, gloves, and masks. I stretch my back and legs to wake my body up after sitting for so long.— We’re here?I look around—exposed brick buildings, small restaurants, and hardly anyone walking by, but nothing really stands out. I’

Chapter: Couple 2JOSHUA— So, what’s really going on with you, Freddie? — I ask.We’re all sitting side by side on the floor of my room, backs against the bed.I’d already talked to Anthony beforehand about bringing it up with Freddie after what happened yesterday, but in the first hour he was here we couldn’t find the right moment or the right words, so I decided to just cut to the chase.— This is about yesterday, isn’t it? — he asks, not even bothering to play dumb.— Yeah. What’s actually going on between you and Logan? — Anthony asks.— Nothing’s going on. We just… — He looks stressed and can’t even finish a sentence.— Is our question making you that uncomfortable? — I ask, honestly not expecting this kind of reaction from him.— Can you guys promise you won’t change the way you act around me if I tell you? — He sits up straighter and grabs a decorative pillow from the bed, hugging it to his lap.— Why would we change? Unless you murdered someone, I don’t see any reason we’d start treating you d

Chapter: Couple 2JOSHUAI shift uncomfortably on the soft beige couch, feeling out of place at Priscila’s birthday party.I was surprised, to say the least, when Daniela told me that Priscila wanted me and the guys to be here. Don’t get me wrong—Daniela’s friends are cool and… well, most of them are fine—but I don’t really consider them my friends.Besides Daniela, the only other person here I could actually see myself being friends with is Logan. The rest are nice company, but that’s about it. For example, I can’t imagine randomly texting Luna to grab coffee and have a deep conversation.Personality-wise, I don’t really click with any of them. Priscila, Luna, Kayro, and even Ryan are all way more open, loud, and extroverted than I am. I’m much quieter, I don’t like going to big parties or clubs, and I don’t talk much.So I have no idea why Priscila invited me, Freddie, and Anthony. Maybe she sees us as friends, or maybe she just enjoys our company. The only reason I’m here is because I didn’t want to

Chapter: Couple 2JOSHUAThe soft coconut scent enveloping my senses keeps me calm.I don’t know how long I’ve been lying here, awake, thinking about everything. I didn’t bother checking the time when I woke up. The lack of windows in this room also makes it harder for me to tell what time it is.I keep running my fingers through Daniela’s soft strands of hair while I lie awake beside her. This couch isn’t the most comfortable place to sleep, but strangely enough, I had one of the best nights of sleep in my life. I didn’t wake up once during the night, and I didn’t have any nightmares either. Actually, I didn’t dream about anything at all—and that’s exactly how I prefer it.At first, I was nervous about sharing sleeping space with Daniela, and part of me thought she might feel the same way, which is why I offered to go to another room. But deep down I knew that if I did, I wouldn’t be able to sleep. I’d probably stay up all night, tossing and turning in every possible position, trying to get comfortabl

Chapter: Couple 2DANIELA— Ugh, I’m so done with this. I can’t study anymore. — Ryan complains while we’re sitting in the library, working on our final assignments for this semester.The holidays came and went in the blink of an eye, and now we’re back to fearing life and questioning our decision to go to university. Maybe we should have chosen part-time studies, but whatever, we’re pushing through this year full throttle.It’s already been two weeks since we welcomed the new year, and all I’ve done is study and study even more. I have two assignments due this month; I handed one in a few days ago, and now I’m working on the last one, which is due next week.— I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I agree with you. — Logan says, pushing his keyboard away so he can rest his head on the table.— Same here. — Freddie adds, tossing his pen onto the table and watching it roll to the edge before it falls to the floor. — This is such bullshit. — he mutters, bending down to pick it up.We had planned for eve

Chapter: Couple 2JOSHUAThis place is way less crowded than the last party we went to, and I already prefer this one.The music isn’t too loud, so you can actually hear the other person clearly without having to shout or speak into their ear. The lighting is low, but you can still see everything, and there are no annoying flashing lights that hurt your eyes after a while.The party is happening in one of the common areas of the student association building, so there are sofas around, two pool tables, and drinks on the side table. The sofas have been pushed back to create more space for people to dance.“So, who exactly is this party for?” I ask Daniela while she sips her orange juice.“It’s a party my class organized just for us. It’s mostly for the international students who couldn’t go home or chose to stay here, but everyone in our class is welcome and we can bring plus-ones, so that’s how we got in,” she says, looking around the place.“That’s really cool,” I murmur.“Hey, gorgeous, long time no s
