CHAPTER 26

MIRA

Mira 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

  • LOVE AND LUST    CUM ON MY FACE

    CHAPTER 69The days after the beach felt… different.Not dramatic. Not overwhelming.Just quietly new.Lisa woke up the next morning staring at her ceiling, replaying everything.Max’s voice.His careful words.The way he had paused before reaching for her hand.It hadn’t been rushed. It hadn’t been like before.It was real.And that terrified her just as much as it excited her.Downstairs, the house was already alive with soft morning noise. Plates clinked in the kitchen. Mira’s laughter drifted through the hallway.Lisa hesitated at the top of the stairs.Before, she would’ve run down, loud and carefree, demanding attention.Now… she took a breath and walked slowly.Mira spotted her first.“Well,” she said, grinning, leaning against the counter, “someone looks like they didn’t sleep.”Lisa rolled her eyes, but a smile tugged at her lips. “I slept.”“Barely,” Mira teased.Katie glanced between them knowingly. “Should I ask, or should I pretend I don’t already know?”Lisa groaned. “Pl

  • LOVE AND LUST    A SECOND CHANCE

    CHAPTER 69Months had passed.The house had adjusted to Lisa’s absence. Mira’s laughter was lighter again, unshadowed by whispered doubts or strange accidents.Dennis had been firm: Lisa wasn’t coming back until she’d had therapy, until she’d shown real effort, and until Mira and the rest of the family were ready.Katie checked on her daughter regularly, exchanging updates over video calls. Mira visited Lisa once a week, cautiously, seeing her slowly rebuild herself in boarding school.And now, finally, Dennis had said yes.Lisa could come home.HomecomingThe afternoon she returned, Mira waited in the living room, fidgeting. The door creaked, and Lisa stepped in, her suitcase behind her.She looked different. Matured. Softer. More careful in her movements. She didn’t burst in laughing or throw herself onto Mira’s bed. She simply walked in, eyes full of uncertainty.“Mira…” she said softly.Mira ran forward and hugged her tightly. “You’re back.”“I am,” Lisa whispered, holding on. “An

  • LOVE AND LUST    WHEN THE TRUTH FINALLY BREAKS OUT

    Chapter 68 Max didn’t wait long.He couldn’t.The image of that notebook page was burned into his mind.The neat handwriting. The bullet points. The casual cruelty.He sat on Mira’s bed while she dried her hair from her shower, trying to steady his breathing.“You okay?” she asked, noticing his expression.“No,” he said honestly.Mira frowned. “What happened?”He locked the bedroom door quietly.Not dramatic. Not loud.Just careful.“Mira… I need you to promise me something.”Her stomach tightened. “What?”“Promise me you won’t defend her until you hear everything.”Her face shifted instantly.“Defend who?”He swallowed.“Lisa.”Silence filled the room.Mira let out a small, disbelieving laugh. “Max, if this is about her ignoring you—”“It’s not,” he interrupted.His voice was too serious.Too steady.She stopped smiling.“What are you talking about?”Max pulled out his phone.Opened the picture.And handed it to her.Mira glanced down casually at first.Then she read the title.Thin

  • LOVE AND LUST    THINGS WE DON'T SEE

    Chapter 67 Mira’s arm wasn’t broken.Just badly sprained.The doctor called it “a lucky fall.”Ethan didn’t.He hadn’t let go of her hand the entire hospital visit.Lisa sat quietly in the waiting area, knees pressed together, fingers twisting the edge of her sleeve.She looked shaken.She looked guilty.She looked like someone who had made a mistake.No one suspected more than that.And that was the problem.The Shift No One NamedThe house adjusted again.Careful footsteps on the stairs. Extra pillows on Mira’s bed. Dennis installing anti-slip grips.Katie hovering.Ethan practically living next door.Lisa became helpful.Too helpful.She brought Mira water. Carried her sketchbook downstairs. Offered to help her shower.“I feel bad,” she kept saying. “I should’ve been more careful.”Mira hugged her once. “It wasn’t your fault.”Lisa nodded.And smiled.The First Small ThingIt started subtle.Mira’s phone disappeared for two hours.They tore the house apart looking for it.Lisa fou

  • LOVE AND LUST    CRACK IN THE GLASS

    Chapter 66 Something was off.Mira noticed it first in the quiet.Lisa wasn’t loud anymore.She wasn’t blasting music. She wasn’t bouncing into rooms unannounced. She wasn’t flopping dramatically onto beds.She was… watching.Watching Ethan. Watching Mira. Watching the space between them.And smiling just a little too late when someone said her name.********It happened on a warm Thursday evening.The sky was turning orange, the air thick and slow, and Lisa was sitting alone in the backyard sketching half-hearted lines across her page.Max walked over, unusually serious.No exaggerated swagger. No flirty grin.Just him.“Can we talk?” he asked.Lisa looked up. “About?”“Us.”Her stomach tightened.There was no “us.”Not really.Max sat down across from her, hands clasped together.“I like you,” he said plainly. “Not just beach-day like you. Not just funny, cool sister-friend like you. I really like you.”Lisa stared at him.He looked nervous.That was new.“I know you’ve been going

  • LOVE AND LUST    UNWANTED FEELINGS

    Chapter 65 The house didn’t relax after that night.Even when everything looked normal again — pancakes, music, backyard jokes — there was a tension sitting quietly in the corners.Dennis had installed a small security camera by the front porch.Katie checked the windows twice before bed.Mira pretended she wasn’t watching Lisa more closely.And Ethan?He came by more often.Not in a dramatic way. Not hovering. Just… present.Lisa noticed.Three Days LaterIt was late afternoon when it happened.Mira and Ethan were walking back from the store, laughing about something ridiculous Max had said earlier, when Mira’s phone buzzed.Lisa.She rarely called.Mira answered immediately. “Hey—”But it wasn’t Lisa speaking.It was a scuffle.Breathing.A sharp, panicked sound.Then a voice.Him.“Stop ignoring me!”Mira’s blood ran cold.“Lisa?!” she shouted into the phone.The line cut.Ethan didn’t ask questions.He was already running.At the Side Street Near the ParkLisa had walked to the s
