Callista

I can’t let a fucking psychopath distract me.

That thought kept looping in my head like a broken record as I stepped out of the room, my bare feet barely making a sound against the cold marble floor. My heart was already beating too fast, like it knew something I didn’t. Or maybe I did know and I was just too scared to say it out loud.

This place wasn’t normal.

The hallway stretched endlessly, lined with tall walls that swallowed light instead of reflecting it. The silence was thick, i

    DaelanIf she was alive, then perhaps the dead woman haunting my mansion was never a ghost at all, and that realization settled inside my chest like poison because it meant someone had been playing with me from the very beginning.My breathing remained uneven while I stood at the foot of the staircase gripping the knife, and although the mansion had become silent again, the silence itself felt dangerous because every shadow suddenly looked like a person and every sound seemed deliberate.The assistant remained on the phone."Sir?"I pressed my fingers against my forehead."Find her.""We're trying.""I don't pay you idiots to try."My voice echoed across the empty hall, and somewhere upstairs a door slowly creaked, causing my entire body to stiffen because my nerves had become so shattered that even the house itself felt alive.The call ended.For several minutes I simply stood there while rain struck the windows and thunder rolled across the sky, and although I wanted to convince mys

    Daelan"Elysia."My own voice disappeared into the darkness of the mansion, while the sound echoed against the empty walls and somehow returned to me softer than before, causing my fingers to tighten around the staircase railing because the voice I had heard only seconds ago still rang inside my head.You abandoned me.The words continued repeating themselves while my chest rose unevenly, and although every logical part of my brain insisted that Elysia could not possibly be standing inside this house after everything I had seen, another part of me kept replaying the image of the bloody woman sitting on my bed.The pale skin, he blood and those goddamn eyes.I swallowed hard while wiping the sweat from my forehead, yet my hand returned damp because the entire mansion suddenly felt colder than it should have, and every shadow stretching along the walls seemed alive."No," I muttered beneath my breath. "This is bullshit."I reached inside my pocket and pulled out my phone because silence

    DaelanThe broken glass still glittered across the café floor, while frightened customers continued staring at me as though I had suddenly grown horns, yet I barely noticed any of them because my mind had already begun connecting the pieces together.This bullshit all happened after Callista entered Luca Moretti's life.My fingers curled around the edge of the table, while a slow realization settled inside my chest, because perhaps this entire thing was Luca's doing and perhaps the bastard was simply trying to impress Callista by destroying me piece by piece.That fucking psycho.Who else had enough power?Who else could make documents disappear, move properties, silence people, and terrify businessmen?Luca Moretti.The city treated him like some dark king, while powerful men lowered their voices whenever his name entered a conversation, and although I had never taken those rumors seriously, I suddenly found myself wondering whether the stories had been true all along.I paid for not

    DaelanThe steering wheel trembled beneath my hands, although deep down I knew the car wasn't responsible for the vibration because my fingers had refused to stop shaking ever since I walked back into that bedroom and found absolutely nothing.Not even the metallic smell that had practically coated the walls earlier.The entire fucking room looked as though somebody had walked inside my house and erased reality itself, and although I repeatedly told myself there had to be some reasonable explanation, my thoughts continued returning to the same terrifying conclusion.Someone had entered my house, someone had cleaned every trace of what happened, and somehow that person knew exactly what they were doing.Rain struck the windshield while the highway stretched endlessly beneath the dark sky, and every pair of headlights appearing behind me caused my pulse to jump because I could not stop checking the rearview mirror.Was someone following me?Was somebody watching me?I cursed beneath my

    LucaThe ride home felt longer than it should have, although the city itself remained exactly the same, because Callista sat beside me looking pale and exhausted while the medication inside her body continued fighting against her.She had stopped trembling.She had stopped crying and somehow that frightened me more.A broken woman screamed. A broken woman fought. But Callista had gone quiet, and silence often carried wounds that words could never reach.Palmere opened the front doors the moment we arrived, and although she could not see us, she immediately sensed that something terrible had happened."What happened?" she asked softly."Nothing you need to worry about."She nodded, though her face tightened. "I prepared the rooms."I carried Callista upstairs because she was still dizzy, and although she quietly protested that she could walk, her legs betrayed her twice before we even reached the staircase."Stop fighting me.""I'm heavy."I looked down at her. "No."Her eyes softened.

    CallistaThe voice echoed through the entire clinic, and although I could barely keep my eyes open because of whatever poison Doctor Harrison had injected into my body, my heart still recognized him immediately because nobody else carried that kind of authority inside their voice."Callista."The entire room froze.Doctor Harrison stood beside the closet while all the confidence he had shown earlier slowly disappeared from his face, and for the first time since I entered his office, I saw genuine fear inside his eyes because Luca Moretti had arrived.Even Elysia stopped speaking.The building became painfully quiet, and the heavy footsteps coming from outside sounded like death itself was climbing the stairs.My body remained weak while my head continued spinning, yet somehow my heart slowly calmed down because Luca had come for me.The office door suddenly burst open with such force that the walls shook, and before Doctor Harrison could even speak, Luca's fist collided with his face

    CallistaThe word slipped out before I could stop it. “That scumbag!” I suddenly shouted, louder this time. Several guests turned around, a few frowning.I barely noticed them. My eyes were locked on the stage… on Daelan but he wasn’t looking at me, he was smiling at Elysia.That soft smile I knew s

    Callista"Please... don't hurt my parents."The words escaped before I could stop them, and although my voice trembled from hours of crying, I still forced myself to look directly into Luca's eyes because I needed to know whether the darkness people whispered about truly existed inside him.Streetl

    CallistaI realized I was going blind the exact same night I discovered my husband was marrying another woman.At that precise moment, however, the brutal betrayal hadn't hit me yet.
