HIS TO RUIN The Jealous Storm
DAMIEN.“...and so, profits are projected for a gradual increase should this plan be implemented.”The world beyond the glass wall felt small from this high up. I felt like a giant, gazing down at sandcastles filled with ants that scurried from nook to cranny, living their lives in blissful ignorance of the hands that guided their fates.“Mr. Cross?”I wondered how many of those ants were living squalid lives similar to what Selene had described. I wondered how many of them were driven by desperation into unfavourable actions and circumstances.“Mr. Cross? Your thoughts on the presentation would be appreciated.”I had always lived at a remove from the less fortunate, even when my family had firmly been stuck in the middle class. There has always been a thin, glass wall that separates me from the dregs of society. My family had struggled sometimes, when business ventures turned for the worse and the health of my parents worsened. But that state of affairs hadn't lasted for long each ti
HIS TO RUIN Be mine
SELENE.After Marcus sent the location and time, I memorised and promptly deleted the text. I had learned from the mistakes I'd made the last time I’d met with Marcus. I made sure I left no incriminating evidence that would clue Damien into what I planned to do. My call logs were wiped, I blocked Marcus's number to forestall further text messages, and acted as I usually would any other day.And when the time came for the meeting, I waited for a couple hours after Damien left, and called an uber instead of taking my car. No matter what, I wouldn't make the same mistake again.The new location that Marcus had set was on the other side of town from where the last one was. It was still in the rich part of town, yes, but it was on the fringes, where the bar from last time had been firmly affixed in the centre. Due to this, I made sure to disguise myself, if wearing a wig and sunglasses counted as a disguise. It wasn't much, but with a little application of make-up, even I could barely r
HIS TO RUIN The Trap Tightens
SELENE.I didn’t call Marcus immediately, even if I wanted to.I wanted to ask him why he’d held back that information, why Damien didn’t have it in his folder. Strangely enough, I almost wanted to thank for not revealing it.I’d thought that Damien must’ve known everything; or if he didn’t, he would soon know everything as soon as he sat down to read the folder from cover to cover. I had avoided talking about the incident because I hadn’t been ready, and I’d assumed that Damien had let me do that out of something like courtesy.But now that I realized that Damien didn’t have the information in the first place, I had no idea what to do.Should I still tell him? Or should I continue to keep it a secret?I didn’t want to keep it a secret. Keeping secrets had almost ruined my relationship with Damien.But the very thought of telling him made my throat constrict, seizing the words from my tongue and refusing to set them free.I wasn’t ready to talk about it, but neither could I keep the s
HIS TO RUIN Missing Pieces
SELENE.Damien didn’t return for a long time. I waited in the living room for hours, but he never darkened the doorsteps. Eventually, as the evening grew darker, and night drew closer, I resorted to distracting myself. I prepared something for the both of us, making dinner especially delicious in hopes that it would…ameliorate his feelings towards me, maybe.When he still didn’t come home after dinner was done, I turned to TV. It didn’t help much; my thoughts kept on circling back to Damien, Marcus, and the file sitting innocuously on the table. I tried my hardest to ignore that last one in particular.I don’t know when I slept off. One moment, I’d been watching reruns of a badly acted show filled with cringe worthy scenes and poorly timed laugh tracks. The next, long fingers were trailing across my cheeks, drawing me from a deep unconsciousness.I shifted on the couch, which I’d lain on to get comfortable a while ago.I blinked blearily, trying to refocus my blurry vision. I saw an
HIS TO RUIN Cracks In The Lie
SELENE.It had been going so well. That was the worst part of everything; it had been going so well.I should’ve known that it wouldn’t last.“Well?” Damien demanded; his voice tight with anger and something else, something I couldn’t place. I wanted to be angry at him as well; to hide behind rage and disappointment that he’d gone behind my back and done this even after he had promised that he wouldn’t. But I couldn’t be angry; I couldn’t find it in myself, because I know that he’d only been forced to go to this extreme because of my stubbornness.There was also the fact that I was too overwhelmed with terror to even think of being angry.“What-” I swallowed reflexively. “What is that, Damien?”“What do you think it is?” he asked simply.I didn’t reply; I couldn’t. I knew as much as he did what exactly it was.I reached out for the folder, fingers trembling slightly. I took it from the table, but I couldn’t bring myself to open it, not yet at least.“What happened, Selene?” he asked.
HIS TO RUIN Pieces Of The Past
DAMIEN.Trying to have sex with Selene in the aftermath of what I’d just learned was inadvisable. Yet, I did it anyway, to prevent any suspicions.I failed.“Hey,” Selene called out as she walked into the bedroom after a quick shower in the aftermath of our sex. “What?” I grunted from where I was lying on the bed.She glided her way to the bed, her feet silent on the hardwood flooring. The only sign that she was still there was the depression she made as she took her seat on the bed.“I don’t know if this sounds weird or something,” she began, “but it felt like you weren’t really…all there when we were having sex.”I blinked, turning my head to stare at her. Her shadow loomed over me on the bed; I could still see her, even with the dim mood lighting. She wasn’t staring at me, instead fixing her gaze on a vague part of the bed.I tried to bluff. “Is that a way of saying that my performance was inadequate, Selene?” I asked with a strained smile.She laughed; there was a nervous, uncer
