~Julian~

I sat at the edge of my bed with my phone resting in my hand, the screen glow cutting through the dimness around me. I didn’t need anyone to tell me what was happening outside that room because I already knew. I had been watching it unfold in real time, piece by piece, across every platform that mattered.

My phone vibrated again before I even decided what to do next. I answered it.

“You’re watching it spread faster than expected,” the voice on the other end said, like it was something

  • My Father's Best Friend, My Obsession   A date

    Daisy didn’t even wait for her breathing to settle properly before she reached for her phone.The sheets were still warm beneath her, tangled around her legs, the faint scent of him lingering in the air like something that refused to leave even when she wanted it to. For a brief second, her body stayed still, caught between the aftermath of what had just happened and the reality she was already trying to run back into, but then her fingers unlocked her screen and whatever softness had tried to creep in disappeared just as quickly.“This means nothing,” she said, her eyes glued to her phone as she scrolled, her tone flat, almost rehearsed, like she had already told herself that same thing a hundred times before saying it out loud.Dante didn’t respond immediately.He remained where he was, lying back against the headboard, one arm resting behind his head as he watched her, his gaze observant, almost confused in a way he didn’t quite understand himself. There was something about the wa

  • My Father's Best Friend, My Obsession   Ending things

    ~Elena~I sat on the couch long before he returned, the mug in my hands growing colder with every passing minute, though I hadn’t taken a single sip from it. My fingers wrapped around it anyway, like I needed something to hold onto, something steady in a moment where nothing inside me felt stable anymore.The house was quiet, but it wasn’t peaceful. It felt like something was ending.I had rehearsed the words in my head over and over again, trying to find a way to say them that wouldn’t sound as final as they truly were, but every version led to the same place. There was no soft way to break something that had already been stretched this thin.The door opened and I didn’t look immediately.I heard his footsteps first, familiar, and then I felt his presence before I finally lifted my head. He stood there for a second, taking me in, and I knew instantly that he could see it.He could see that this wasn’t going to be a normal conversation.“We need to talk,” I said. The words came out st

  • My Father's Best Friend, My Obsession   Stop

    ~Richard~The call connected faster than I expected.I didn’t bother with greetings this time, didn’t bother easing into it or pretending there was anything civil left between us. The moment she picked up, I spoke.“Put Julian on the phone.”There was a pause on the other end, the kind that usually came before she tried to control the conversation, but I wasn’t in the mood for it.“He doesn’t want to speak to you,” she replied, already defensive.“I didn’t ask what he wants,” I said, cutting through it cleanly. “Put him on the phone.”“You don’t get to speak to him like that,” she shot back, her voice rising slightly. “After everything that has happened, you think you can just...”“Listen carefully,” I interrupted, my grip tightening around the phone as I stepped further away from the hallway window. “If he doesn’t stop what he’s doing right now, I will have him locked up.”That stopped her and silence filled the line. “You wouldn’t dare,” she said finally, but there was less certain

  • My Father's Best Friend, My Obsession   So tired

    ~Elena~Morning light had a way of sneaking into the room before I was ready for it, soft against the curtains, spilling across the bed until it touched my face. I woke slowly, not because I wanted to, but because the warmth beside me shifted slightly and pulled me out of sleep in the gentlest way possible.Richard was still asleep.His arm was draped around my waist like he had been holding onto me even in dreams, his breathing steady, his face relaxed in a way the world rarely got to see. I stayed still for a moment longer, just watching him, letting my fingers hover before I finally let myself smile.The bulge of my stomach was more noticeable now when I turned slightly, a quiet reminder that things had changed in ways I still wasn’t fully used to. My hand moved instinctively to it, resting there for a moment as if I needed to confirm it was real.I leaned in slowly and kissed him.It was light, almost hesitant, but enough to make him stir faintly. His hand tightened around me for

  • My Father's Best Friend, My Obsession   My story

    ~Julian~The hotel room carried a strange kind of silence. I stood by the window for a while, hands in my pockets, watching the city move below without caring that I was in it. Cars drifted through the streets like scattered thoughts, people crossed roads with heads down, and somewhere in all that movement, my name was already being chewed up and passed around like it belonged to everyone but me.I turned away from the window and checked the room again. It was neat in that impersonal way hotels always were, like no one had ever lived inside it and no one ever truly would. The chair had already been pulled to the center of the space, facing the empty armchair across from it. Matteo had been very specific about the setup when we spoke. A clean frame and controlled lighting.I sat down and leaned back slightly, stretching my arms across the chair while I waited. My phone lay on the table beside me, screen dark, notifications piling somewhere in the background I did not care to check. E

  • My Father's Best Friend, My Obsession   Same goal

    ~Matteo~I did not like being told no.It wasn’t the word itself that lingered in my mind as I stepped out of the restaurant that night, Diego’s presence still hovering like an unnecessary interruption behind me, but the implication behind it, the quiet assumption that she could simply walk away from something I had already set in motion, as though stories, real stories, waited patiently for permission before becoming something bigger than the people inside them.The cool evening air in Rome met my face the moment I stepped onto the street, but it did nothing to settle the irritation sitting beneath my skin, the faint sting on my cheek from Diego’s impulsive punch a reminder not of pain, but of something far more interesting.Uncontrolled, predictable emotion.I adjusted my coat slowly, my fingers brushing over the fabric as I exhaled through my nose, replaying the moment in my head, the way Elena had looked at me, not with fear, not even with anger, but with disappointment, and someh

  • My Father's Best Friend, My Obsession   Coffee date

    ~Elena~“Hey, Dad!” I called as I descended the stairs, dressed in a casual fit. My father sat in the living room, his personal computer on his lap.“Hey… off to the library?” he asked, and I shook my head.“I made a new friend, and we are going to have a cup of coffee downtown,” I answered, and he

    ~Martin~I was still buried in work, trying to check through our sales since I am now my own manager. I sat in my study, my eyes screaming for help, when I heard the front door open.“That should be Elena,” I muttered to myself as I reached for my glass of water. I took a large gulp and was about t

    Mr. Richard headed out of the female restroom, making sure he wasn’t seen. He couldn’t be in there for so long so as not to raise suspicion, and this kind of pissed me off. I wanted to spend more time with him— a whole day… a year… forever, if that even made sense.I adjusted myself in the mirror a

    ~Elena~I sat in my room, on my bed, working on a new manuscript, which was the second book after the first one I had written. I enjoyed writing this even more than the first one. It helped me recall and replay all the memories I had of Mr. Richard and me.Though I wanted more, and that was finally
