AURELIA POV ~

By evening I was already getting bored. I had spent most of the day doing nothing but resting, thinking, and trying not to think at the same time. At first it felt necessary, my body truly needed the break, but as the hours passed it started to feel suffocating instead. I kept replaying the same conversations in my head, going over details that refused to settle into anything reasonable.

I want to go back to work.

That thought stays with me longer than anything else. Not because I

    AURELIA POV~“It’s okay… you’re okay…”The voice comes through slowly, and close, like it’s meant to keep me grounded. It doesn’t sound distant or unclear. It sounds real..present.“I’m here with you.”There is something about the tone, deep and calm, that makes it feel familiar, but my mind doesn’t fully catch up with it.Am I dreaming?I try to open my eyes, but the moment I do, the sunlight hits directly, sharp enough to make me shut them again almost immediately. My brows pull together slightly as I adjust, taking a second before trying again, this time slower.My vision clears gradually.The ceiling comes into view first, then the rest of the room follows as I turn my head slightly from where I’m lying. It takes a moment, but then everything from last night comes rushing back properly, all at once.The sudden power outage…the sound of glass breaking.The intruder.Zane.I inhale slowly, my body tensing slightly as the memory settles..my eyes move around the room again, more caref

    AURELIA'S POV~I don’t realize how tightly I’m holding onto Zane until my fingers starts to ache and slowly loosen on their own.It takes a few seconds before I finally pull back, my hands still resting lightly against his shirt as I try to steady my breathing. Everything feels slow and heavy at the same time, like my body is only just catching up to what almost happened.Zane doesn’t rush me.He keeps a hand near my arm, not holding me anymore, but close enough in case I lose my balance. When I finally take a small step back, he gently guides me toward the bed.“Sit,” he says, his voice calm, not forcing it, but firm enough that I listen without arguing.I lower myself onto the edge of the bed, my legs feeling weaker than I expected. My hands rest on my lap, but they’re still shaking slightly, and I have to press them together to keep them still.Just then, the lights come back on.The sudden brightness fills the room, and I blink a few times, adjusting. The darkness that made everyt

    3RD POINT OF VIEW~The pressure on the door increases suddenly, and the chair Aurelia had pushed against it jerks forward with a harsh scrape against the floor. The movement is no longer tentative. Whoever is on the other side is no longer testing the handle, they are forcing it.Aurelia instinctively steps back, her entire body tensing as her grip tightens around her phone her breathing becomes uneven, and she presses the phone harder against her ear as if that alone can keep her grounded.“Zane…” she says, her voice breaking despite her effort to keep it calm.“I’m almost there,” Zane replies immediately. His tone is no longer just firm, it carries urgency now, the sound of his car engine pushing harder in the background. “Stay where you are Aurelia. Do not open that door, you hear me?”Before she can respond, the intruder’s voice cuts through from the other side of the door.“Open the damn door!!”The shout is loud, aggressive, and close enough to make her flinch violently. It conf

    3RD POINT OF VIEW~Aurelia stands still for a second after realizing she is not alone, her grip tightening around the towel wrapped around her body as the sound outside comes again, clearer this time despite the heavy rain hitting against the windows. The darkness inside the house makes everything feel more uncertain, and her mind immediately goes back to the river incident.This time, she is completely alone just like that time.She does not waste time thinking too much. She reaches for her phone immediately, her fingers slightly shaking as she scrolls to Seth’s contact and presses call.The line starts ringing.She holds the phone closer to her ear, her breathing uneven as she listens carefully.The first ring passes…nothing.The second ring follows.Still nothing.By the third ring, just when she is about to pull the phone away, the call connects.“Aurelia?” Seth’s voice comes through, low and controlled, but there is something off about it. It lacks its usual tenderness, like he w

    3RD POINT OF VIEW♡Aurelia hopped out of the car with a quick goodbye to Steven, reminding him to pick her up early. She headed briskly for the elevator as she got off the other staff and colleague at the entrance greet her as usual, though there is a slight shift in their expressions, news has already spread, even if no one said anything directly.She keeps her composure and walks in like nothing has changed.Teresa spots her almost immediately.“Aurelia?” she says, walking towards her with clear surprise. “You’re here already?”Aurelia nods as she approaches too. “Just for a few hours. I didn’t want to stay home again.”Teresa studies her briefly, her eyes moving to the hearing aid before returning to her face. “Are you sure you should be here this spoon?”“I’m fine,” Aurelia replies smiling a little. “I’ll take it easy.”Teresa doesn’t look completely convinced, but she lets it go. “Alright, but don’t push yourself too hard. If you feel tired, you leave immediately No arguments.”A

    AURELIA POV~The next morning…even before I fully open my eyes, I can already tell I didn’t sleep properly. My body feels rested enough, but my mind never really slowed down through the night. Everything from yesterday is still sitting there, clear and unresolved.I stay in bed for a while, staring at the ceiling, letting myself get up slowly instead of rushing into the day. At some point, I reach for my phone again, more out of habit than expectation.Still nothing from Seth.No missed calls, no messages , not even something short or indirect. That part shouldn’t affect me this much, but it does. It confirms what last night already showed me. He is choosing to distance himself, I set the phone aside and sit up, pressing my fingers lightly against my temple before getting out of bed there is no point staying here and letting my thoughts run in circles again.By the time I get downstairs, breakfast is already set. Mom is there, going through something on her tablet, while Dad is seated
