Anna’s laugh caught mid-air, sunlight spilling over them like a benediction. Santorini. Paradise. Melisa’s fingers dug into the paper until it tore. The cell walls closed in tighter than iron bars, and her breath came in ragged bursts. She had dreamed of escape, plotted every angle, but no plan ever stuck. Freedom stayed a phantom to her, while Anna walked in Liam’s world as if she belonged there. She hurled the shredded magazine across the cell. Her shrill and broken laughter cracked, echoing off the concrete until it sounded like sobbing. The guards glanced in, unimpressed. They’d seen madness bloom in many faces before. But Melisa clutched the fragments of Liam’s smile to her chest, her nails raking the page until her skin bled. The hatred was all she had left, and it was eating her alive. *** Elsewhere in a café tucked away from the
Anna sat curled into the terrace bench, knees still drawn up, the sea stretching endlessly before her. The world was painted in bruised blues and fading gold, but her thoughts were louder than the waves crashing against the shore. Jessica’s words circled back again and again, as if each gust of wind carried them into her ear. Was it really fair to blame Liam for sins that were never his?Her chest rose with a shaky breath, the air heavy with not only the salt from the sea but also with grief, confusion, and longing. She pressed her palms against her face, her fingers trembling. What did she want more? To protect her mother’s memory, or to protect the life growing inside her? And could those two desires ever exist side by side?Time passed. She wasn’t sure how long she sat there, watching the horizon blur. The ache inside her didn’t quiet, but something shifted, as subtle as the tide turning. A thread of resolve stitched itself between her ribs. She straightened slowly, pushing damp ha
Anna sank onto the cold stone bench of the terrace, her breath breaking into uneven gasps as tears blurred the dazzling blue of the sea. The horizon stretched wide before her, but it felt suffocating and endless in a way that pressed down on her chest. The morning sun, which had been so bright only moments ago, seemed too sharp now, its light stabbing at her swollen eyes.Waves slapped against the cliffs below, each crash an echo of the storm unraveling inside her. The breeze tugged at her hair, twisting it across her wet cheeks, but she didn’t move to brush it away. She sat there hollow and trembling, her hands clutching against her stomach as if holding herself together by force.Her mind spun through everything: her mother’s death, Liam’s silence, and the weight of betrayal wrapped in the arms she thought would always keep her safe. She wanted to scream, claw the ache out of her chest, but all that came were sobs swallowed by the wind.The villa behind her stood pristine and white,
Days blurred together, and before they knew it, it was already time to leave. On their last morning, Anna lingered on the balcony, ingraining the last bit of the view in her mind. Maybe they should come here more often. She had thoroughly enjoyed their moments alone together. She should consider going out more with him. She never knew he had such a fun side.She giggled at the memory of Liam’s laughter echoing off stone walls as she teased him into chasing her down winding alleys. She would definitely miss the nights of whispered confessions and quiet touches with their bodies as close as the sea was to the shore.Along with the fun, she had noticed Liam’s unease as the days went by. She would catch him staring off into space more often, looking lost in thought. He ran his fingers through his hair frequently now, a clear sign of stress, and he might go bald at this rate. Something big happened. And she wasn’t going to remain in the dark for so long. She had given him enough time to op
Their first morning in Santorini was bliss. The couple woke up with their bodies tangled, mostly with Anna’s limbs all over him, and his chest had been converted into a human pillow; definitely nothing out of the ordinary. In addition to the pleasant sun rays shining on their faces, there was a bac
By the time the sun reached its peak, wonder gave way to weariness. She could now testify that pregnancy and flight weren’t the best of friends from how her limbs almost failed to hold her weight. Almost. The constant flutter of excitement couldn’t match the changes in her body, and her eyelids droo
Anna sat by the window at the airport’s VIP lounge, her fingers tracing the condensation on her glass of water. Liam disappeared for a few minutes, promising vaguely that she’d thank him later. A mixture of nervousness and excitement she hadn’t felt in years fluttered in her chest, and the hum of t
Anna sat frozen, her eyes locked on the message glowing back at her. The words looped in her head, over and over, until the once quiet mind became too loud. She didn’t even hear the door, nor the soft creak of the floorboards, nor the soundless tread of Liam’s footsteps approaching. His nearness st
