Chapter 5
"Hey Ethan " Sofia called out running over to where Ethan was standing carrying Mira on his arms "Oh gentle man care to explain "she said smiling "She had trouble adapting and I think she is cold"Ethan replied staring at miras face Mira was ashamed,she didn't want to be caught being carried like a baby by Ethan just because of a little cold but she loved it ,she felt safe in his arms and she knew she liked it. "Mira and I are sleeping over at Rachel's,so dare me ask where you are taking her to ?"sofia asked looking at Ethan's eyes hoping to get a good explanation Ethan realizing it looked awkward put her down carefully and she stood up still shivering. "Make sure she gets warm "he said and walked away "Sure I will prince charming"Sofia replied laughing Mira stared at Ethan as he walked away ,a smile on her face and her lips parted a bit , unaware of Sofia's voice repeatedly calling out her name "Mira!Mira!! ..."Sofia tapped her out of her taught "Yes Sofia sorry I was lost "Mira replied smiling "Drooling over two brothers..geez girl you gotta go slow "Sofia replied folding her arms also smiling "I wasn't Sofia,just happy he cared "Mira replied "Really just happy or more than that princess"Sofia laughed "We better get going,the pour won't stop amor "Sofia added then placed her hand around miras neck leading her to the car they drove in with. ****** MIRA "Stop Mira"I said to myself ,I was trying to shove off the taught of Ethan from what happened last night ,I wished it was going to happen again ,I mean ,Ethan wasn't bad after all. I tried getting him off my head but then I remebered his figure ,Ethan was a tall light skin guy with a sharp jaw like and cute amber eyes ,he was built and had amazing abs ,he was kind and so gentle ,even his touch were calming and soft ,I loved his hair it was blonde and curly he had these beautiful eyes and they matched with his cute lips and flawless skin. On the other hand was max,the mr romantic bad boy vibe ,he looked more like Ethan but In a bad version,he was naughty and at the same time he had a soft palm ,he had the same figure with Ethan ,you could hardly differentiate between the twins if not of the hair ,Ethan was blonde and max was red haired.max was handsome but in a deadly looking way ,he was a playboy and he hanged around bad company but Ethan wasn't the same with him ,Ethan was a calm soul he gave peace and was caring. "Oh Mira what are you doing "I asked myself trying so hard to avoid thinking about the two brothers. It was hard ,I felt sick due to the rain and stood up to go get a warm bath ,I turned left and there laying peacefully like an angel was Sofia ,I smiled she looked peaceful as if she had no problem in the world ,and then I noticed something,Rachel was gone!! She was not lying down on the bed or on the floor so I went to look for her . It was so early in the morning,it wasn't even dawn yet everywhere was still dark so where could she have gone to. Suddenly I heard sounds not scary ones but moans ,I walked towards the voice and there was an open door ,I think it was a room that hasn't been used for a while ,I walked closely and took a peek "FUCK!!" I whispered ,right before my eyes was Rachel and a guy I saw her with at the party having sex. I watched with excitement. "Slow....yea....fuck...damn .. baby....uh" Rachel moaned quietly so that made no one notice she was awake . I watched the boy carry her to the table and placed her on it ,he then cleared any harmful object that can hurt her and she parted her legs giving him the permission to devour her . He gently kissed her legs then up to her laps and her thigh and then her pussy ,he suclked on it and watched her facial expression while he was at work . Rachel moaned and grabbed her titties slowly, looking like a p**n star while squeezing them in a sexy way ,she then held his head and gently guided him . He stood up placed his thumb in between her lips , looking into her eyes he took the finger down to her pussy again this time inserting it into her vagina ,he went slow then a bit fast and faster and faster and Rachel was moaning she looked satisfied,she was almost there about to let out her orgasm then he paused dragged her hair and turned her over "Fuck I love it "Rachel said backing him ,then ,he used his hands to choke her neck from the back inserting his hard dick Into her wet vagina . "Uh damn"he let out a low moan then started going in and out "Faster "Rachel moaned looking like she was going out of yhe world . I watched ,I touched myself and felt a little bit wet under ,I was scared I didn't want to get caught but who cared anyway ,I slide down the wall and with two fingers I touched my clitoris,I felt good and so I kept going and going until I let out a low moan ,I have never felt so good before ,I had never tried it before ,with my other hand I grabbed my breast , squeezing it slowly and listening to the moan of my dear friend I felt good. "Fuck "I was all wet I turned and watched them Deep in my taught I could feel myself being touched by someone family "Max "I moaned lowly "max !!"I repeated still touching myself . I stopped "fuck " they were done and about to step out so I sneaked back upstairs making no sound. "That was good baby"Rachel said and kissed the boy she just had sex with "Next time I won't go easy "he replied and spanked her ass "There will always be a next time "Rachel replied She watched him leave and made her way upstairs. ****** MIRA I was in the shower, wondering about what just happened,I mean I touched myself but I wasn't seeing myself doing it ,I was seeing someone else ,not even Ethan but Max !the one I least expected. Was it because he touched me ? Was I attracted to him ? I was lost in taught when someone banged on the shower door . "Mira I have been standing here bitch" Rachel said "Sorry I was lost"i replied from inside After a few minutes I was out and Rachel looked at me "Are you ok ?" She asked "Yes....of ..of course I am fine "i replied and smiled She returned the smile and went into the bathroom. I could hear the shower from the room. I was definitely not ok. ******* The door bell rang as soon as it was dawn,I ran downstairs to get it and standing in front of Rachel's house was Ethan "Hey Mira "he said smiling "Hey Ethan ..um...what...what...are you here for someone ?" She asked shyly "Came to check up on you pumpkin"Ethan replied smiling "Pumpkin?"she blushed "Only my dad calls me that " she added "That makes two of us "Ethan replied and stretched his hand to pull something out of her hair . "Thank you,am fine "she replied . "I can see that "he replied . They stood there for some minutes chatting but was distracted by Sofia "Hey buds "Sofia greeted and came close to hug Mira "Did you sleep well amor?" Sofia asked "I guess "Mira replied Then Sofia looked at Ethan who smiled at her "You sure are a good match "Sofia teased "Stop Sofia go dress up we have class "Mira replied shyly pushing her away "She doesnt mean that "Mira said smiling after successfully making Sofia leave "Just came to check up on you Mira "Ethan said smiling at her ,to him she was beautiful and he didn't want her to fall sick after last night. "Hey lover boy she has to shower "Rachel called out They both laughed and he made to leave. "See you around Mira"he said and walked out "See you around Ethan "Mira said and smiled at him . "Hug? "She asked "You sure ?"he replied coming close to hug her "Just kidding"she said smiling but she was too late he hugged her and she was happy he did ,she needed it after going through the cold . His body was warm and soft and he smelled like vanilla "Bye Mira"he said then went into his car and drove off Mira went back inside wearing a smile . ***** AT MIRA'S APARTMENT "Good morning pa"she greeted her dad who was so happy she was back "Mi vida !! I missed you "he replied hugging her "You look happy"he was glad she was out making friends "Yes pa it was fun"Mira giggled "Care to fill me in" Mr Dennis said looking at her joyfully "Na!!it's girlie "she laughed and hugged him "PA when you find it hard to think what do you do ?" She asked him "I listen to my heart miha "Mr Dennis replied "Look kiddo ,I know you need a someone you can share everything with ,just want you to know that am here for you"he hugged her again.CHAPTER 31MIRAMira sat cross-legged on the living room couch, her sketchbook open on her lap, pencil hovering over a half-finished drawing of her mom’s old garden. The house was quiet, the afternoon light filtering through the curtains, casting soft patterns on the hardwood floor. Dad was at work, and Miss Katy was out running errands, leaving Mira alone with her thoughts—a dangerous place to be these days. The latest anonymous message, “Family time won’t save you. I’m closer than you think,” had kept her up half the night, her mind spinning with images of the guy in the black hoodie—Jake—lurking outside her window. The pizza outing with Dad and Katy last night had been a brief escape, their laughter a warm shield, but the message had shattered that fragile sense of normalcy.She traced the outline of a rose in her sketch, her hand trembling slightly. The party last summer, Sofia’s sweet drink, the blur of The guys shadow—it all felt like a weight she couldn’t shake. She’d promised
CHAPTER 30MIRAThe pizzeria was alive with the hum of conversation, the clatter of plates, and the warm smell of melted cheese and fresh dough. Mira sat in a corner booth, her dad across from her, his grin wide as he slid a slice of pepperoni pizza onto her plate. Miss Katy sat beside him, her laughter mixing with the jukebox’s soft rock tune as she recounted a story about burning her first attempt at homemade pizza. For a moment, Mira felt like she could breathe, the weight of the anonymous messages and the guy in the black hoodie fading under the glow of the neon signs.“Let’s make a rule,” Dad said, raising his soda glass. “No heavy stuff tonight. Just us, pizza, and maybe a debate about whether pineapple belongs on a pie.”Katy laughed, nudging him playfully. “You’re not starting that argument again, Dennis. Mira, back me up—pineapple’s a crime, right?”Mira managed a smile, her first real one all day. “Team no pineapple,” she said, clinking her glass against theirs. The normalcy
CHAPTER 29MIRAMira’s hands shook as she sat across from Ethan in his bedroom, the glow of his laptop casting shadows on the walls. The latest message—“Y N J F 167—burned in her mind, a taunt that made her question everything. She’d shown Ethan the code as soon as they’d left school, her resolve to uncover the truth overriding the fear that had kept her quiet. The guy in the black hoodie, was still out there, and Sofia’s apology felt more like a puzzle piece than a resolution.“Okay, let’s look at this again,” Ethan said, his voice steady as he pulled up the message on Mira’s phone, connected to his laptop. “These messages always feel like they’re hiding something—a pattern, a code. Like the sender’s trying to tell us more than the words say.”Mira nodded, leaning closer, her shoulder brushing his. “What kind of code? Like, a secret message in the letters?”“Maybe,” Ethan said, his fingers flying over the keyboard. “Or it could be in the metadata—timestamps, phone number patterns. I
CHAPTER 28MIRAThe classroom hummed with the low chatter of students waiting for the bell, sunlight streaming through the windows and casting long rectangles across the desks. Mira sat beside Rachel, her notebook open but untouched, her mind still spinning from the past few days. Ethan, freshly discharged from the hospital, leaned against her desk, his arm no longer bandaged but his face still a shade too pale. He was joking about the hospital food being worse than school cafeteria pizza, and Rachel’s laughter was a welcome sound, a brief escape from the weight Mira carried.The decision to stop chasing the guy in the black hoodie—and the anonymous messages had felt like a relief in the hospital, a way to protect Ethan and find normalcy. But normalcy was a fragile thing, and the creak outside her window last night had reminded her that the sender wasn’t done. Mira’s fingers tightened around her pencil, her resolve hardening. She couldn’t just let it go, not when the truth about that
CHAPTHER 27It's been days now and Ethan was still at the hospital ,Mira had been worried sick hoping that he recovers very fast,she blamed herself for Ethan's pain and cried herself to sleep every night.Mr Dennis noticed she had been skipping meals and decided to talk with her ,he assured her that Ethan would be fine "He will be fine pumpkin"he assured her"I hope dad ,I feel so bad I feel like it happened because of me "Mira sobbed "I understand baby,but you only feel that way cause he is so dear to you ok "mr Dennis told her He hugged her and assured her Ethan will be fine."Okay dad , goodnight"Mira said after hugging him Mr Dennis knew she wanted alone time and left her.Few minutes later Mira heard a sound on her window ,she stood up and grabbed something incase it was the guy on the black hoodie,she went close to the window and tried to peep ,then she saw max trying to climb the window "Open up princess"he said Mira rushed and opened the window then max came in ,she ran
CHAPTER 26MIRAMira sat at her desk, her fingers tracing the edge of the photo from her locker—the one of her lying lifeless in the pool. The latest message, “You’re digging too deep, Mira. Stop, or Ethan pays the price,” burned in her mind, a constant reminder that the sender was watching, waiting. She’d told Dad and Miss Katy about the messages last night, and their promise to keep her safe had eased some of her fear, but the threat against Ethan felt like a knife to her heart. She couldn’t lose him, not when he’d been her rock through all of this.Her phone buzzed with a text from Rachel: Found something. Want to check it out tomorrow? Mira’s pulse quickened. the guy Sofia had mentioned, the one who’d followed her upstairs at the party. The guy in the black hoodie. If he was the sender—or worse, the one who’d hurt her that night—she needed to know.A knock at the front door jolted her from her thoughts. She glanced out her window, expecting Ethan or Rachel, but instead saw a fami
