Nikko dragged his hands through his hair, wiped the abundant traces of blood from his mouth, and struggled to his feet, trying to hide how much pain he was in and how dizzy Maël had left him.

"WHAT HAPPENED HERE?!"

None of us answered the concierge, nor did we bother to watch him arrive or enter.

Our breaths were in unison, our gazes locked in a challenge to see who would lower their guard first. Apparently, the landlord understood the situation because he said nothing more.

"Do you want us to stop fighting?" Nikko asked me in his rough voice, his face still twisted. After so many injuries, I didn’t understand how he still had the strength to speak. "If you want us to stop, tell your boyfriend to explain how we got here. Tell him. Take advantage of the fact that you're the one holding the baton now."

I scowled but didn’t trust him.

"If there’s something I need to know, I’ll find out sooner or later. But you’re leaving." I raised the pipe as high as I could. "Get out now!"

    (YEAR 2020, BRAGA). My fingers interlaced high above, arms stretched, sensual movements. For hours, the music had painted my skin with electrifying sensations, every inch of me more alive than the last. The powerful beats of Mike Mago & Dog Collective’s incredible song, "Always On My Mind", thundered through the club’s speakers. Those notes, that spectacular melody, drove my every motion—making me raise my shoulders, bring my hands to my head, my clutch bag tightly gripped in one hand and strapped to my wrist. I kept swaying my hips to that delicious, energetic rhythm, driving me wild, erasing any trace of coherent thought. My short white miniskirt and my pearl-and-ocher knit top rode up and shifted with every rotation of my hips, every step of my dancing legs. My chunky-heeled sandals resisted my constant jumps, and the liquor… Well, the liquor was working perfectly, thank the Lord. That’s exactly what I wanted—to numb and deceive my brain, just for one night. That night. My br

    I blinked at that absurdity and shook my head, still listening to him. "At first, I didn’t believe him. A confession? No fucking way! He must’ve been messing with me, spouting nonsense. But as the months passed, he started doing things that confirmed he was dead serious. First, I asked Carlos to rent him the house where I was staying. Second, he tricked me several times, asking me to look for something in my room, only to lock himself away with you right after—making love in the next room so I’d hear. Third, he rubbed it in my face how great things were between you two, while pushing me to see you, to stay in your life. He started playing, Delu—playing hard—and I didn’t realize it immediately." He dragged his hands down his face in desperation. "Then, the fights started—but never in front of you. In front of you, we were the best cousins in the family. And I admit, I played along because I didn’t want you to see it, or to worry. Why did he hide it? Maybe he didn’t want you to le

    I pressed myself into a corner, trembling with terror, my breathing ragged. My tears now flowed freely. He grabbed my face, and I shuddered. He squeezed my cheeks, pulling me close, and I noticed something horrifying: this man didn’t smell of alcohol—only cologne. His breath was clean, hot. The realization made me nauseous. Nikko wasn’t drunk. He was driven by pure, unfiltered rage. Fear surged through me like never before. His lucidity terrified me—there was no other way to describe it. "Let me go," I hissed through clenched teeth, his fingers digging into my skin as tears streamed down my face. He narrowed his eyes, tilted his head, bit his lip, and from that suffocating closeness, raked his gaze over my body. "Get away from me, Nikko! Enough—get away!" I thrashed, twisting my head until I broke free. He wedged the pipe between his legs, pressing the tip against mine. My chest heaved as he untied my robe. "Nikko, no, please!" His fingers fumbled at the fabric. "The concier

    Nikko took a step forward, and I took a sharp step back. I didn’t let go of the door handle. "Let me in." His voice… it sounded like someone else, completely different from the one that had just spoken to me on the phone minutes ago, assuring me he was miles away. I looked at his arms. He held his posture with his hands hidden behind the walls framing the door. His right palm was lower than his left—he was holding something in it, and that certainty made my skin crawl. I lifted my gaze to his smiling face, but this time, I locked onto his eyes, realizing he carried a deranged confidence. I’d never seen eyes so sharp and alert before. "How did you get here? How did you get into the building?" My voice trembled, trying and failing to sound firm. He deepened that wolfish smile, driving me to desperation. "It wasn’t hard to follow you, and even easier to get inside. Now, are you going to let me in? You were never rude." Something told me not to move. "What are you holding

    At home, everything is better—it’s always better. Or so I thought. I could attend any event, shout my relationship with Maël to the world, but being in our home meant tranquility, serenity, peace, comfort, and companionship—the last being the best of all. Thinking about that, the day after meeting with my parents and walking Torto around the neighborhood, I headed to the apartment to wait for Maël. On the way, I bought everything to prepare a surprise dinner for him. I got everything from food to lingerie because I wanted to see that sexy, stunned look on his face again—the one he had when he found me lying on the kitchen counter. But of course, since we’d agreed to meet at 6:00 PM on the 22nd, I had to turn dinner into a late lunch instead. I cleaned, tidied up the living room, placed candles in different corners of our apartment to light them closer to his arrival, turned up the heating a little, and closed the blinds on the big window to give the place a more intimate feel.
