The movie was still playing, flickering shadows across the walls. I couldn’t even remember what it was about—some comedy with bright colors and hollow dialogue.

I wasn’t laughing.

I was curled on the couch with Aaron, my head resting on his shoulder, both legs draped lazily over his lap.

He rubbed slow, absentminded circles on my shoulder like he always did when I was tense.

But then… I felt it.

The stillness.

That uncanny, impossible stillness that swept in and stole the warmth from the room. The air shifted, thickened. It was like gravity changed its mind, like the walls inhaled and forgot how to breathe again.

He was here.

I didn’t need to turn around to know it or to hear a door creak or the sound of his shoes on the floor.

I could feel him—his presence bleeding into every crack of the house like heat and danger. A phantom that haunted my spine.

Enzo.

Maybe he’d gone straight to his room. Maybe he hadn’t seen us.

But that wasn’t possible.

He always saw. Even when he pretended

    Carol sniffled loudly.It wasn’t the kind of quiet, ashamed sniffling that came with real tears—but the dramatic kind. Theatrical. Timed.She swiped at her cheek with the back of her hand, smudging her mascara as wet streaks ran down her face, lips trembling just enough to make her look fragile.“Enzo…” she began softly, her voice thin and cracking, like glass about to give. “I didn’t mean to yell. I just—I was frightened. She’s been so… aggressive lately. I didn’t feel safe.”The words hung in the air like poison, seeping in slowly.I didn’t move. My chest was rising and falling rapidly, but I stayed silent, knowing nothing I said now would reach him. Not yet.Enzo exhaled—a long, slow breath as if he were trying to push the weight of the entire evening off his shoulders. He pressed two fingers to his temple and closed his eyes, like he was tired of everything. Of both of us.When he opened his eyes, they were distant.“Go wait in my room, Carol,” he said finally, voice quiet, heavy.

    He was looking at me like he wanted to say something.No, like he needed to say something.His gaze lingered, mouth parting slightly—words perched on the edge of his lips.But then... his phone rang.The shrill sound cut through the room like a knife, snapping the moment in half.He looked at the screen, and I saw it—how quickly his expression changed. Whatever softness had been there just seconds ago... gone. In its place: tension, urgency, detachment.“Shit,” he muttered under his breath.His fingers hovered over the screen as he glanced at me, eyes flicking from my face to the floor, back again. He looked torn—caught in a split-second war between staying and leaving. Wanting and needing.And then, without another word, he answered.“Yeah? What happened?” His voice dropped, tone sharper now, more clipped.He turned his back to me, walking toward the hallway, his free hand raking through his hair in frustration.“No—stay there. I’ll come to you.”For just a second, he looked back.Ou

    I didn't descend for dinner.I didn't even get up from the bed.I lay there in silence, gazing at the ceiling, allowing the burden of it all to settle in my chest. I wasn't hungry—not for food, not for talk, not for one more reminder that I didn't belong.But the knock came anyway.Light. Considered.Before I could answer, the door creaked open, and there she was—Carol.In one hand, a plate of food. In the other, that typical smirk. "Figured you'd be too shy to come down," she said easily, stepping in without invitation. "So I brought you dinner. Sweet, right?"She dropped the plate on my desk, and then looked around with faintly veiled distaste. "Your room's. cozy. I didn't knew guest room were this furnished Actually I always stayed in Enzo's room."I kept silent. I know what she's doing.And she needs to try harder this time.She turned toward me, folding her arms across her chest like she was settling in to gloat. “You know, Enzo told me you’ve been through a lot,” she said with

    "Mom--Please don't!!--Dad-!" I stood up abruptly. The scene unfolded once again.Whenever I was feeling devastated this dream come running back to me.My Parents in car crash.Sometimes I think if they were going to leave me like that then why not take me with them.The faces of my dead parents was not something I want to start my day with.My mother was crying not for herself but me.After they died , I got to know my father made Antonio my guardian.By the passing time Lily and Antonio made me believe in love again.I got up and moved towards bathroom.Past memories are never easy to forget but I'm not going to start my day with these thoughts in my mind.I looked wrecked.Eyes red, face pale.The light reflecting my face was making me look more pale.Guess it's my makeup for today.Ghost themed.The aroma of coffee wafted through the hallway as I stumbled downstairs, sleep still clinging to my bones like mist. My eyelids were puffy from the previous night, yet I pushed myself t

    The door closed behind me with a click, but I still sensed Enzo's presence on the other side. His heat. His proximity. The way the brush of our hands moments before had left me shivering. I never felt this way before. I was more of a teenage having crush type but now it was something else. His touches send heat all over my body. I sat on the edge of the bed, knees bent, elbows on my knees, staring at the floor like it might have answers. Too hot and bothered. I don't know if I should do this, my hand slipped inside my pants. I have never done this before. I was wet, a lot. Maybe I should shower first. I was thinking a different thing but fingers were now moving up and down in slow motion over my clit. My breathing becoming more and more deep. "God!-ohh--" Speed increasing with my heightened pleasure. It felt good and now I know why they say that self love is important. My eyes were closed. All I could imagine was HIM. Sitting in front of me, his fingers slipping in a

    The moment I entered the room, I spotted her. Lily was sitting against pillows, deathly pale and shaking, a bandage on her temple. Her eyes were glassy and rimmed in red, but the moment she spotted me, they welled up with new tears. "Eve…" she cracked, almost no more than a whisper. I hurried to her side and held her in my arms before she could get another word out. She held on as if she would disintegrate if she let go. "I thought—" she cried into my shoulder. "I thought you were hurt too." "I'm here," I whispered, holding her hair back. "I'm here, Lily. I'm fine." We huddled like that for a bit, holding our breath. Trying to believe we were safe. Lily was not easily scared. Seeing her in this condition was so hurtful. When she finally drew back, her lower lip quivered. "I tried to stop it. I swear, Eve, I—I noticed something weird about him. I told Antonio, and he said to go upstairs. Then… then everything just happened so quickly." "You did the right thing," I told her
