Confused.Two hearts whispered the same thing at the same time. “My heart.”Neither heard the other, but something in the air felt… heavier. Unspoken.Then Maya’s phone vibrated.Sophie.She picked it up quickly. “Hey?”“Maya…” Sophie’s voice was low, careful. “Someone came by the office looking for you.”Maya frowned. “Who?”“That’s the thing. He didn’t say. Dressed in all black. Black gloves, black coat, dark sunglasses. Said he just wanted to know if you still worked here.”Maya’s blood chilled.“Did he give his name? A card?”“No. Nothing. He didn’t stay long. Just said…” Sophie hesitated. “‘Tell her I’ll see her soon.’ Then left.”Maya’s hand gripped the phone tighter. “Was he threatening?”“No,” Sophie said. “But he was... too calm. It didn’t feel normal.”A knock startled her.She turned toward the door.“Sophie, I’ll call you back,” she said quickly and hung up.She opened the door. Nathan st
She was asleep beside him.Joana.Breathing softly, her hair tangled in the pillow, arm draped over his chest like she belonged there.But she didn’t.God, she never did.Jayden lay still, staring at the ceiling like it was mocking him. Every breath he took was shallow not because of her warmth pressed to his side, but because he wished it wasn’t her at all.He blinked once. Twice. Trying to erase the image in his mind.But it came anyway Maya.Maya, with that stupid little laugh when she was nervous. Maya, biting her bottom lip when she was deep in thought. Maya, falling asleep on his chest in the backseat of her mom’s old car because they missed the last bus home.“Damn it...” he muttered under his breath.She used to trust him. With her whole heart.Her only rule just one.“No sex until we’re married,” she had said, holding his face in her palms. “That’s all I ask. Don’t break it.”He had nodded. Smiled. Promised her.And then he’d gone and broken it anyway.For what? For someone
The room was steeped in shadows. Not the kind born from a flickering bulb or a power cut but the kind chosen deliberately. The drapes were drawn. The only light came from a dying cigar tip, glowing like a heartbeat in the dark. A voice, smooth as aged wine and colder than ice, slipped through the silence. “It’s been so many years since the incident…” A long pause. Smoke curled lazily to the ceiling. Silence again. “…How about I pay my darling mother a visit?” Another pause then a soft, almost amused chuckle. “She won’t even know what hit her.” He leaned forward, revealing nothing. Only the dim gleam of his rings, a faint silhouette moving from leather to marble. There was no rush. No thunder. Just quiet intent. A coat was picked up. Glass doors slid open. He stepped into the light of a waiting car. And the city swallowed him whole. --- The afternoon was uneventful. Quiet. Too quiet. She stirred her tea in slow circles, her gold bracelet clinking against the fine china. Ou
The room had quieted, but tension lingered in the air like mist.Nathaniel sat at the head of the polished conference table, fingers interlaced, gaze forward. He wasn’t speaking. Just watching.Across the room, Gael leaned back in his chair, one leg crossed over the other, flashing that same smug smile that had been testing boundaries since the meeting began. He had come in too confident, too casual for the setting as if he knew something everyone else didn’t.Maya sat beside Nathan, notebook open, pen poised, every movement precise. She didn’t speak unless addressed. But she noticed it the way Gael’s eyes kept drifting toward her, lingering too long, like a child pressing their hand too close to a flame. She didn’t meet his gaze. She didn’t flinch. But the chill in her spine said everything.Nathan said nothing. Still watching.The discussion had shifted from numbers to logistics. The team from the hosting firm this state’s prestigious developers. was nodding along, clearly impressed
