WHY IS SHE HERE ?

I scrolled slowly, my thumb hovering, my chest tight in a way I hadn’t anticipated. Some comments were kind, some curious, some edged with speculation disguised as concern.

‘Tabitha : Are you traveling alone?’

‘Klowedth:Where’s Daniel?’ There it was. The question everyone wanted to ask without asking directly.

I locked the phone and slipped it into my bag, but it was too late. The noise had already seeped in. Maria was walking a few steps ahead of me, pointing out a small art

    Fingers dig in, pulling me , against him so there’s no space left between our bodies.,I can feel every inch of how hard he is , I can feel it through my clothes. He breaks the kiss just long enough to drag his lips along my jaw, down the side of my neck. “Fuck,” he mutters against my throat . “You feel so good, every time, making love with you just keeps getting better and better” I tilt my head back, giving him more room, more access. My hands slide up his back, nails scraping lightly over his shirt as his mouth returns to mine . hungrier now. The hand on my breast slips beneath my top, his fingertips finding bare skin, rolling my nipple between them until I whimper into his mouth. His hands on my ass shifts, slides lower, cups me from behind, fingers teasing where my thighs meets my ass cheeks, then slipping just barely between my legs from behind. Not quite touching where I’m already aching, but close enough to make me rock forward instinctively, seeking more friction against t

    WE MAKE LOVEHe reached for my waist and gently pulled me closer. I should have resisted. I should have kept my distance until he spoke clearly.But I didn’t.I let him guide me, my body responding before my pride could argue. I shifted closer, feeling the warmth of him through his shirt, the steady rise and fall of his chest.“We’re still discovering ourselves, right?” he asked quietly, his eyes searching mine.I sighed, the fight draining out of me in small increments.“Yes,” I answered flatly.He smiled faintly, like he had expected that answer.“Then you have no reason to rush,” he continued. “It’s the same way I want to discover every part of you, the quiet parts,the stubborn parts..”His hands moved slowly along my lower back. I closed my eyes for a second.He always knew how to disarm me.“Which is why I brought us here,” he said softly. “Away from the work chaos as you always call it . Away from the busy streets. Somewhere less distracting.”His fingers brushed along my jaw, the

    I backed out of the recent album and went to “Imports.”That folder felt older. Heavier.Photos Daniel used to airdrop to me after events, after dinners, after random afternoons when he caught me being silly. He always liked taking photos when I wasn’t posing.I scrolled slowly. There I was, mid-laugh, head thrown back.Another, I was, making a ridiculous face because he said my serious look scared people. The next one I was in oversized pajamas in the kitchen, holding a wooden spoon like a microphone. And in almost every one of those photos, I looked… happy. Was I wrong to compare them?The question had barely finished forming in my mind when the door handle jerked violently.I froze.The metal twisted again, harder this time, followed by a loud, impatient knock that echoed through the house. My heart slammed against my ribs.“Who is it?!” I shouted, instinctively stepping back, my eyes locked on the door like it might burst open.“Emma, open up. It’s me.” Adrian. Relief came first. T

    Why was she watching me?The question wouldn’t leave my head. I clicked her profile again,Private account. No posts visible. No bio that revealed anything meaningful. My thumb hovered over the block button.But blocking her would mean I noticed. And I didn’t want to look threatened. I didn’t want to look insecure. What if she was just curious? What if this was normal ex-wife behavior? Checking the new woman. Measuring. Comparing.Or maybe she was checking to see how Adrian treated me.I let out a slow breath and pulled my thumb away from the block button. No. I’d act like I didn’t notice. If she wanted to watch, she could watch.I exited her page and opened my camera roll again.If she was going to look, I might as well give her something worth seeing.I picked out a few more photos Maria had taken earlier at the marina. I studied each one carefully before posting, zooming in on details, checking angles, making sure nothing was off. The lighting. My posture. The background. The way the

    Adrian wasn’t home when I arrived.The moment I stepped inside, that fact hit me harder than it should have. I dropped my bag by the door, already rehearsing the questions I wanted to ask him, the accusations I hadn’t yet decided whether to voice or swallow. I was eager, to confront him. He’d been acting strange lately. I walked down the hallway and knocked on the bathroom door twice, out of habit more than hope. When there was no response, I pushed it open slowly. Empty. The bathroom was untouched, dry, quiet, like no one had been there for hours.A tight feeling settled in my chest.I picked up my phone and dialed his number. It rang once. Then stopped.No answer.That alone was strange. Adrian usually picked up my calls immediately, sometimes even on the first ring, like he’d been waiting for them. I stared at my screen for a second, then dialed again, my thumb pressing harder this time.Still nothing. My heart skipped, then sped up. I moved quickly to the bedroom, my steps sharp

    “Hello,” I said, my voice flat, already bracing myself.“…Have you seen the blogs?” she asked immediately, like we were picking up a conversation we’d never finished.I rolled my eyes, staring out at the water for a second before answering. “What blogs?” I snapped. “Why?”There was a brief pause on her end, then she continued, unfazed. “…I reached out to you a few days ago. What happened?”My grip tightened around the phone. “I checked his laptop. Every folder. Every file you asked me to,” I said, my tone sharp now. “There was nothing in there. At this point, I think you’re definitely playing games with me.”She laughed softly. Not amused, pleased.“Oh, darling,” she said, her voice suddenly syrupy. “If I were you, I’d watch my tone.” She let the words hang for a second. “I don’t suppose you know the man you’re currently laying in bed with…”I stiffened.“He’s not the angel you think he is,” she continued, laughing again, louder this time. “Matter of fact, I’m still in shock he doesn’
