Adam looked up to me as he reached for his phone. He stood there, reluctant to answer the phone.

"Pick it up", I instructed, calmly.

He answered "Hello", followed by a brief pause "Yes, sir. She's right here with me".

That should be James, I thought.

He handed the phone over, and James's voice came through, warm and familiar.

"Hey, love", he said, his tone casual.

"Hey", I responded with a curt.

"Hmm, was just going to ask if you met the driver" he said

I hesitated before replying, "Why else

  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   FEELING BAD, ACTING ANYWAY

    James lay motionless on the floor, his face pale."Oh my God, what did I do?", I screamed, rushing to his side."James, wake up, pls. I'm sorry", I shook him gently, but he didn't respond.What am I going to do?I hope--- I hope he's going to be okay.I wanted to take action to help him but what was I going to say?I snapped out of my thoughts long enough to call the ambulance, my voice trembling as I spoke."Please, help, my husband is dying", I said, crying.The operator asked too many questions, and I had to yell for them to come.I felt so helpless.The minutes felt like hours until the paramedics arrived. I was thrilled when I saw the familiar uniforms, and I watched as they worked to stabilize him.Thankfully, he's breathing."I'm so sorry, James", I said, under my breath as I followed closely behind him while we walked to the ambulance.At the hospital, the doctor took over, and I waited anxiously for the news of his recovery.Finally, the doctor walked into the hall where I wa

  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   UNCOVERING THE ABYSS

    James walked into my room, his eyes narrowing slightly as he took in my presence."Did you sleep at home last night", he asked, his voice evenI tried to gauge his mood before replying."Sure, why not?" I said, sounding casual.He raised his eyebrow "You didn't let me in last night, your door was locked. And this morning when I woke up, I didn't see your car parked outside".I hesitated, not knowing how much to reveal.I wasn't sure if he was trying to get the truth out of me or if he knew I was out last night." I took a short drive in the morning to clear my head, and the road helped me process some thoughts".He looked at me for a minute, his expression unreadable."Care to explain why the security man didn't see you drive back in when you left yesterday?"The room seemed to shrink, with unspoken accusations filling the air.He is indeed aware that I have been out since yesterday.Damn!!!The silence stretched out like a challenge.I had to say something.I walked up to him soundi

  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   WEIGHT OF GUILT

    I got his text message -- one from realization that he missed having me around."I missed your call, Mariam. I was going to call you if you didn't. I miss you"I didn't reply to his message immediately.I smiled at the thought of having him back."He's back, my slow burn is backk", I screamed.I jumped out of my bed to do a little girly dance, but I didn't notice James had walked in."What's the excitement about?" he asked. "You have been beaming all day. Is it Adam?""Stop being ridiculous, mister ", I said, with a dismissive wave of my hand accompanying the words.The less you knew, the better."Mariam you're not making it easy to get along. I don't know how else to apologize", he said, his voice soft."Everything has changed, you broke the trust, and I'm not sure things will ever go back to the way they were". I said."I know, I messed up. Just give me the chance and stop shutting me out each time. I'm still your husband" he said.Well, you should have thought better.Now's not the

""What you might never wanna know", I replied sharply.The conversation felt strained, and I wasn't hiding my emotions well.After a few more one-word responses, we wrapped up the call

  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   UNSHACKLED

    My eyes fluttered open, slowly.I must have dozed off.The room came into focus as the memory of the recent ordeals flooded my mind, replaying like a broken record.It drifted from James to Darius and back to James.The memories still lingered but their power over me was fading. I remembered the whispered lies, the manipulation, the gaslighting, and the isolation. But, my heart and my happiness will be taken into consideration, henceforth.I slipped into my gown and walked out of the room. I descended the stairs and caught sight of him.James-- he sat on the couch, phone in hand, murmuring a few words that seemed private.I smiled at the realization that I wasn't even surprised or bothered to know what it was about. He dropped the phone the instant he noticed me behind the coffee table.Familiar reaction, lol.That explains what the call was about."Hi, darling. You're up" he said, gently."I'm down now, as you can see", I answered, walking past him and settling on the couch beside h

  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   TRAPPED

    I repeated his name several times, unsure of what to do. I was so agitated that my mind raced with worst-case scenarios.James.James.James.I said as I slipped back into my night gown.How did this happen?How am I supposed to handle this?..I was in a maze with no clear exit."Hey, go ahead", Darius said.He looked so fearless.Does he not understand?"H-he's a-at the d-door, You came in somehow right?" I stuttered, expecting an answer.Or a reaction, maybe.But even in the dark, I could see the glimmer in his eyes. He didn't even blink.Okay, I don't need your answer. Just be gone, that's all I care about."Please leave or maybe hide, just be invisible", I said, pushing him lightly as I prepared to open the door.He stood still, unwavered.I was going to say something but the knocks grew louder and more insistent."Suit yourself", I hissed.The knocking stopped and for a moment there was silence, then he continued."Are you okay in there, Mariam? I heard noises minutes ago".I to

  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   EXPLORE

    I wanted things to work between James and I. I wanted so badly for him to see me as more than just a woman he married, more than just a possession he could bring out, decorate, fuck, and tuck away when he was done. Maybe if he ever looked at me like I mattered, like I had desires too, I wouldn't h

  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   FIRST PUNISHMENT

    I stared at the text. “Don’t be late.”I knew I didn’t want to find out what my lateness would cost, so I got dressed and left without the driver. I boarded a cab and went there.I was scared and uncertain, but I still went. I got there and walked into the apartment in this lonely off-town place. A

  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   PLEASURE AND GUILT

    I hurriedly got up, but the person had already left. I was wondering who could have seen me. Nobody should ever see me like this.
