GUTEMBERG

Vincent shakes his head, looking amused.

"We're friends. None of this is personal. If I help you, I’ll want something in return."

"You can take whatever you want, Vincent."

He shakes his head.

"A favor. At the right time, no questions asked."

"Fine, just tell me where she is."

He stays silent for a moment, his gaze analyzing every inch of my face. Finally, he stands up, adjusting his suit jacket with a smooth gesture.

"I’ll see what I can do. But remember, Gutemberg, favors like this come with consequences."

"I know."

Vincent scoffs, adjusting his loose tie as he walks toward the door. But before leaving, he stops and turns, his blue eyes locked onto mine, narrowed as if trying to uncover a secret I don’t even know I have.

"Do you like her, Gutemberg? That Pryia girl?"

The question catches me off guard, but I don’t hesitate.

"Not in the way you’re thinking."

Vincent tilts his head, assessing every nuance of my expression.

"You sure about that? Because if you go after her, yo

    DAVINAThe light rain slid down the sides of my face, cold little droplets mixing with the heat of anger boiling beneath my skin. The dim streetlights flickered, casting long shadows on the empty road. My elbows rested on my bent knees, fingers drumming impatiently against my soaked leather pants. The hot pink lipstick stood out against the darkness of the night, a vibrant splash of color amid the surrounding gray. I chose it to look tough well, I also needed something flashy to draw attention away from my zombie face and those dark under-eye circles.It had been almost a month since Gutemberg dropped the bomb. Pryia had been trafficked. Words that hit me like a punch to the chest, stealing my breath, my sanity. I tried. I tried going to the police station, asking for help, telling everything. But the first time, I couldn’t even walk in. The second time, my legs carried me there, but my mouth couldn’t form a sentence. Fear? Panic? I didn’t know. I just knew no one would do anything. N

    GUTEMBERGGUTEMBERGThe motorcycle is lying in the middle of the street, engine still hot, smoke rising. The streetlights flicker, casting restless shadows across the asphalt. My chest rises and falls, blood rushing hot through my veins, but none of that compares to the rage pulsing inside me. My eyes lock onto Timmy’s figure, fists clenched, standing just a few feet away.I throw my helmet to the ground hard, the sound echoing through the empty street, and I charge like a starving animal finding a scrap of meat."What the hell is wrong with you!?" I yell, shoving him with all my strength. "You rammed your car into my bike? Were you trying to kill me?"He doesn’t move an inch. That mocking smirk on his face only fuels the fire in my chest."And you’re trying to ruin Davina, aren’t you, Ghost?" The nickname rolls off his tongue like a slap. "Did you tell her about Pryia? Dropped that bomb on her lap? Who the hell do you think you are?""She deserved to know!" I snap, my voice ripping t

    DAVINAI narrowed my eyes.“So? What are you hiding?”“Nothing,” Timmy replied too quickly, looking away.Hmm.Liar.“Don’t lie.” My voice was heavy with hurt, but also with determination. “I can feel it. You’re hiding something.”Gutemberg sighed, rubbing the back of his neck, while Timmy looked like he was about to explode.“We’re not hiding anything,” Gutemberg said, but his tone wasn’t convincing.“You’re a terrible liar,” I shot back, staring at them both. “Just say it. What else do you know?”Timmy huffed, kicking the floor hard before turning to face me.“You’re not going to like it, Davina.”“I already don’t!” I yelled, throwing my arms in the air. “Now talk.”He clenched his fists like he was fighting with himself, then muttered a curse under his breath.“It’s KJ,” he finally said, spitting out the name like poison.I blinked, confused.“KJ?”“Yes, KJ.” Timmy was furious, his eyes locked on mine like he wanted to strangle me for making him say it. “He’s behind all of this.”T

    DAVINA"You've got to be kidding me!"Timmy's voice echoed through the room like thunder, making me spin on my heels. He stormed in, his hair still wet, even though he had showered before me. In the blink of an eye, he grabbed Gutemberg by the collar."What do you think you're doing?" he snarled, his eyes blazing with anger.Gutemberg stared at him in surprise, taking a second to understand where Timmy had come from."How the hell did you get in here?" Gutemberg asked, incredulous.Timmy let out a dry laugh, full of irony."I should ask you the same question. But that doesn't matter now. What matters is that you broke our agreement.""Agreement?" I repeated, confused, looking from one to the other.Timmy ignored my question and tightened his grip on Gutemberg's collar, who maintained his posture, although his eyes gave away a slight discomfort."We agreed not to talk about this shit with Davina!" Timmy roared, bringing his face closer to his.My stomach knotted up."What are you talki

    DAVINAI left the bathroom with my towel slung over my shoulder, drying my wet hair. I was still processing Timmy's words when I suddenly stopped in the hallway. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to figure out if I was imagining things. Maybe it was my mother, or my grandmother. But it wasn't.I stopped at the living room door, and there he was. Gutemberg.He was sitting comfortably on the sofa, as if he owned the house. One leg crossed casually over his knee, his hands resting on the arms of the furniture. He wore a black shirt that highlighted his broad shoulders, dark jeans and boots. There was something new on him, a thin gold chain with a crystal pendant hanging from it. It looked old, but intriguing. His fingers, covered in rings, tapped gently on the sofa as if he were waiting for something or someone.He looked up and smiled slightly when he saw me standing there, completely frozen, with a probably ridiculous expression."Are you going to stare at me like a little fan? It's a bi

    DAVINAThe sound of the cutlery clinking against the expensive plates made me want to scream. My parents' mansion had never been a home; it had always been a museum, a stage where happiness was just a cheap act. And today was no different.My mother, sitting at the head of the table with a forced smile, was talking about a charity dinner that Jimmy, my father, was planning to hold soon."They'll love the idea, dear. Who wouldn't want to help children in need?" Her voice was sweet, but soulless. Just an echo of who she used to be.I pretended to be interested, cutting the piece of meat on my plate without really thinking about eating it. I knew she didn't believe a word she said. The donations, the parties, everything was to feed Jimmy's ego and keep up appearances.I looked at her and felt that familiar tightness in my chest. Her platinum blonde hair was perfectly groomed, cut elegantly just above her shoulders. She looked like a princess from a fairytale, but the sparkle in her eyes

    DAVINAI was trying to keep my composure, but the way Gutemberg was looking at me was getting on my nerves. It was that look that said he knew something I didn’t. Something he was keeping from me, and that irritated me even more. So when he finally opened his mouth, I already knew something bad was coming.“What?” he asked, with that mocking tone that made my patience evaporate. “Do you think Midnight is going to invite you for afternoon tea if you keep bringing him cake?”My eyebrows shot up, and I stared at him like he had lost his mind.“What are you talking about?” I spat, crossing my arms.He shrugged, that crooked smile playing on his lips, but his eyes seemed… upset? No. That was impossible. Gutemberg didn’t get u

    DAVINAThe clock seemed to mock my lack of patience. The last lesson of the day always dragged on, but today, every second seemed like an eternity. It wasn't the teacher's fault, he did his best to keep us interested, but the persistent feeling of being watched took my focus away.Especially as I knew where the stares were coming from.Tom.I pretended not to notice, but his stares were obvious, even if he tried to be discreet. Every time he thought I wasn't looking, there he was, staring. Before, it would have made me blush. Today, it just made the blood boil in my veins.He had the audacity to stare at me like that while still reposting happy photos with his pregnant fiancée on social media. “Our family is growing,” read the caption on her latest post.I breathed a sigh of relief when the bell rang, ending the lesson. Finally. I gathered my things in a hurry, sensing that he would try to talk to me again. He's been trying all week. Two weeks ago, when he came with his mask of sympat
