I started preparing what I had told him about, when a question I had never asked him before crossed my mind..."Can you answer a question that has been confusing me these days, Mr. Sebastian?" I asked.He ran his index finger along the bridge of his nose. "Depends on the question."I took what I needed from the refrigerator and faced his relaxed expression."What was the nature of your relationship with my father? Honestly, saying he was your friend didn't satisfy my curiosity."His black pupil shifted toward me before returning to the television."He was a friend of mine. Isn't that a clear answer?"While cutting chicken slices attentively, I nearly cut my finger with the sharp knife. I noticed at the last second."But we're middle class and you're from a wealthy family. How did the two of you even meet? Isn't that strange?"He cal
Isabella Monroe"And what did that liar say?" Sebastian said it with interest clear on his lips as he tried to read my thoughts.I closed my study bag and began weaving my words, telling him everything I carried inside me, the worries that had been added to my shoulders on top of my own problems."That you're a sadistic man, and that the two of you sleep together twice a week."He chuckled softly while touching the place of his wound."And like a little girl, you believed what she told you! That manipulative woman is good at acting, Isabella."I picked up one cage in my hands and walked toward the other, but he stopped me and carried it instead."Good grief! How can a psychiatrist be sadistic! Leaving aside the sleeping together part, I'm a man. I need space to release my urges and desires, willingly!"I stared into his pupils, which remained fixed on my eyes as proof of his honesty."You're telling the truth! It wasn't enough that she's a whore, she added lying to her list of filth t
Isabella Monroe"I have a statement as well, and I'll be a witness."Mr. Sebastian approached us while trying to suppress the pain flaring in his shoulder. I noticed it from the displeased look on his face and the way he moved his neck with difficulty.A secret smile spread across my lips, but I did not show it. I maintained my calm and composure in front of them.He sat beside me, leaning heavily against the couch, rubbing his forehead in exhaustion."As soon as I arrived at the apartment, I heard a loud scream from her, so I knew something was happening inside. Fortunately, that idiot left the door partly open. When I pushed it open, I found him raising a knife. He was about to attack her with it."The officer's expression hardened further."When he heard my voice, he couldn't take another step. I took advantage of his shock to pull him away from her. I hit him, and he deserved far more than that."His fist tightened over his thigh."If it weren't for the law, I would have killed hi
Isabella MonroeThe door was torn off its hinges. My eyes stayed fixed in a steady focus. I could see countless birds chirping around my head and endless hallucinations. I saw things others could not see—bugs, animals, events passing like the reel of my life at the moment of death, and no one knew except me... The echo of multiplying voices inside my mind and soul never ceased."Touch her and you'll die."Samuel turned toward the doorway to see Mr. Sebastian standing there with one arm folded across his chest. He did not hesitate to punch him in the face, sending him collapsing onto the floor, drifting into unconsciousness from the blow I had given him with the vase and the force of the professor's punch.All of it happened before my cold eyes and wide smile that twitched from time to time in response to the conflicts raging inside me."You think she's alone and no one can protect her! Fate failed you this time, didn't it? You dared to target the wrong person."Kicks rained down on hi
Isabella Monroe "Samuel."His eyes were not unfamiliar to me. I was the kind of person who paid attention to eyes and their shape. The moment I saw them, all doubt disappeared. I knew it was that despicable criminal.He removed his mask, laughing like a devil king ruling over a tribe of demons."Your nightmare, you whore."I planted my hands on the floor to stand and face him, but he shoved me with his foot, sending me crashing down again."You think you'll get away with what you did? Did you forget what you and that bastard did to me that day? You thought I'd forget too."My body was slowly falling apart, fear flowing through my veins like blood, but I wasn't in a position where I could show weakness. I had to get out of this with as little damage as possible.I moved away from where I had fallen, crawling backward while he walked toward me, pulling on blue plastic gloves like a serial killer."I'll make you regret it. I'll make you feel every feeling I lived through. You touched my
Isabella Monroe After a thirty-minute drive, I arrived at the neighborhood where I lived. It was somewhat far from Mr. Sebastian's residence. I stopped in front of Aunt Helen's shop. She had just stepped outside, her brows drawn together as she wondered who owned such a luxurious car. Her expression quickly relaxed when she saw me getting out of it."Isabella, my little girl!"I opened my arms and hugged her with a smile."Aunt Helen, I'm back."She glanced at the car parked behind me."Where did you get such an expensive car? Don't tell me you're in the mafia."I burst out laughing at her strange conclusion."Auntie, this car isn't mine. It belongs to my friend's father."She sighed in relief with a smile, took my hand, and pulled me inside. The first thing that caught my attention was my two birds, Sam and Susan."It seems the little ones have gotten used to living with you here."She walked over to them, picked up the cage, and brought it back to me."I took good care of them so y
Isabella Monroe "Do you think you'll still see me as sunshine after I tell you about my darkness?"I pulled my face away from Sebastian's hand and moved closer to the glass wall with a smile.I felt his body directly behind me. His chest was pressed against my ribs."Tell me, then. We'll judge you
Isabella Monroe"I wish you a speedy recovery, my friend. I've prescribed important medications that you need to take." Noah turned toward us, holding a paper with a prescription and painkillers written on it."Thank you, our doctor." Sebastian returned his smile with dignity."It was three centime
Isabella MonroeI got into the car with Sebastian. I sat in the driver's seat, staring at the many buttons without knowing which one to press. I looked at his flushed face, sweat running down it as though it were fertile land welcoming a rainy winter season."Mr. Sebastian, what am I supposed to do
Isabella MonroeSebastian fell to the floor beside me, both hands pressed against his wounded shoulder. They were stained with red blood. His eyes trembled from the intensity of the pain. He could not make a sound. He stared at me as though he would devour me. I had my hand over my mouth, crying wi
