Naomi was like a sudden flash of light in a long, endless night—
a woman who made you pause, drawn to her
presence as though you were uncovering a secret you had no right to claim.
In her late twenties, she radiated a quiet
allure, the kind that does not flaunt itself but slips gently into the heart
without permission.
Her short, light hair framed her face like a
halo of daring modern light, while her delicate features formed a portrait of
feminine grace fused with a warrior’s strength.
But it was her eyes that told the true story.
Deep and luminous, they held the restless
sparkle of pride veiling a history of heartbreak and betrayal.
At times, her gaze was as cool as winter
frost, shielding the fragile chambers of her heart; at others, it threatened to
erupt like a storm carrying unspoken grief.
Her smile was rare, but when it bloomed it
felt like a hard-won victory, a quiet reward to anyone lucky enough to witness
it—a promise that, despite every wound, she had not been broken.
And in the way she stood—calm,
self-possessed, unyielding—there was a silent declaration:
I am here… I still stand, and I will shape my
own destiny, no matter the cost.
Naomi was a woman of disarming softness and
breathtaking strength, a paradox that enchanted and unsettled in equal measure.
Even in her silences, she demanded affection,
the kind of presence you can’t help but love—and fear losing forever.
Anas was like a shadow walking on the edge of
light—a man impossible to pin down, yet one who left an imprint on the heart
that refused to fade.
In his early thirties, he carried a gray kind
of charm, a beauty that could not be measured by ordinary standards, a quiet
magnetism that slipped into the senses the way music seeps into the soul.
His warm bronze skin held the glow of
late-summer evenings, while his hazel eyes flickered with an unsettling gleam:
a spark that could invite trust one moment
and freeze you with caution the next.
Those eyes had the power to make you feel
like the only person in the world, only to dim without warning and leave you
lost in wonder.
His thick black hair was always artfully
disheveled, as if order itself refused to tame him.
His voice—deep, with a faint husky
rasp—carried the echo of a secret promise, one you could never tell was of
eternal love or exquisite danger.
He smiled rarely, but when he did, the curve
of his lips felt like a hidden confession, a smile that quickened the pulse as
if you were standing on the brink of a revelation that could change everything.
In his presence, walls dissolved.
He possessed the uncanny gift of listening,
making you feel that your every word, every breath, was music meant for him
alone.
And just when the story seemed ready to
unfold, he would vanish—suddenly, silently—leaving behind a void scented
faintly with his memory: lingering long after he was gone.
Anas was the man who embodied both safety and
danger, both genuine love and beguiling deception.
He could be the savior who mends your
wounds—or the mysterious fate that sends your life down a path with no return.
He was, simply, the man who makes you wonder:
Is he the dream you should hold onto… or the
storm you should flee?
**Rania (Samah’s first wife, Naomi’s mother,
deceased)**
**Appearance:** A young woman in her forties,
attractive and softly featured, with long brown hair. Her facial expressions
reflected warmth and tenderness.
**Personality:** Gentle and understanding,
she embodied security and familial care. After her death, she left a deep void
in Naomi’s life, heightening Naomi’s sense of loneliness.
**Role in the story:** Her presence lives on
through Naomi’s memories, evoking nostalgia and highlighting the painful
contrast between the comforting past and the harsh present. Rania’s absence
fuels Naomi’s longing for protection and emotional support.
Ghada (Samah’s second wife)
Ghada was a woman in her early forties,
radiating femininity and allure, yet concealing a coldness that her frosty
smile never revealed. Her sharp eyes observed every movement in the house, like
a silent guardian over a life she sought to control. Her slender figure and
formal movements gave her an imposing presence that could not be ignored, while
her enchanting features masked a personality that did not forgive easily.
In her interactions with Naomi, Ghada
sometimes did not hide her harshness, often disregarding or barely
understanding the girl’s feelings. She represented a constant psychological
pressure on Naomi, making the house feel unsafe even within the embrace of her
father.
Her role in the story was an obstacle to
Naomi’s comfort and sense of security, pushing her to seek friendship outside
the home, beginning a new chapter of self-reliance and the pursuit of freedom.
Despite her beauty and elegance, Ghada was an indirect catalyst for the
emergence of Naomi’s inner strength and her eventual decision to leave and
depend on herself.

Samah (Naomi’s Father)
Samah was in his late fifties, tall and
quietly commanding, despite the limited movement age had imposed on him.
Broad-shouldered, with black hair streaked with white, his dark eyes reflected
a mix of deep sorrow and hard-earned wisdom.
At his core, he held immense affection for
his daughter Naomi, yet he was sometimes weak in front of his second wife,
Ghada, unable to fully protect his daughter’s emotions. Memories and guilt
haunted him over the death of his first wife, Rania, and the emotional void she
left in the household.
In the story, Samah represented a link to
family and partial security, yet he was also a source of Naomi’s feelings of
betrayal, unable to balance his love for his daughter with his loyalty to his
new wife. Despite his grief and memories, he remains a lover of life, striving
for happiness, and cherishing his second wife above all else, creating a
complex character shaped by love, weakness, and an ongoing quest for balance.
The struggle continued among the three hearts: Naomi’s heart, hardened by repeated betrayals and now wary of love; Nelly’s heart, ablaze with passion for Adel, craving every whisper, every touch, every inch of his being; and Adel’s own heart, torn between the lingering love he felt for Naomi and the irresistible desire he felt for Nelly, who adored him wholly. On this day…The air in the house was thick with jealousy and the simmering tensions of the three—Adel, Naomi, and Nelly.Everything seemed poised to ignite, awaiting the spark that one of them might unleash.Adel sat in his study, lost in a world of thought, while Nelly and Naomi occupied the living room. Nelly rose gracefully, entered the kitchen, poured herself a cup of coffee, and walked into Adel’s study, placing the cup in front of him on the desk. Adel seemed distant, absorbed in another world.Nelly leaned toward him with a calculated femininity, her hand
The house felt as if it had stored a thousand secrets, a thousand betrayals hidden in its corners. Every room held its own confidential whispers, every window hinted at truths that dared not be spoken aloud. The air was thick with tension, as if the walls themselves were breathing in what the hearts concealed.Nelly, with her cunning intelligence and playful, manipulative spirit, sat in the living room observing Adel. He seemed powerless to contain his reactions under her gaze, while Naomi sat in a distant corner, ignoring everything, like a remote island untouched by the tides of their heated, treacherous world.Scene One: Controlling AdelNelly knew that control was not just a word—it was an art, requiring patience, experience, and deceit. Now that everything was out in the open, granting her a status equal to Naomi’s in rights, she decided to assert her grip over Adel’s heart and the entire house.She rose with measured steps, her mis
Adel looked at Nelly, tension clear on his face, and said,“Naomi must know the truth about our marriage. There’s no other choice.”Nelly smiled with a sly, wicked calm.“Then let me help her wake up.”She left the room, went to her own, grabbed her perfume bottle, and walked toward Naomi’s room.The wind was hitting the apartment fiercely; she closed the balcony door, then moved down the hallway toward Naomi’s door.She entered, stepped close to Naomi’s bed, sprayed perfume onto her palms, and gently brought her scented hands near Naomi’s nose, placing her other hand softly on Naomi’s forehead.With a shy voice, she whispered:“Naomi… Naomi…”Naomi stirred.Her eyes opened slowly.The room was dark.She could barely make out Adel’s face standing at a distance, looking at her with a guilty shyness… and
Adel would go to Nelly to find an open embrace and a victorious smile in the night. Together, they were reshaping Naomi’s heart—her heart was confused, torn, divided.Love… fear… doubt… attachment… then a slow collapse.At the beginning of winter, on the first rainy night, the sound of raindrops and the crashing waves filled the house. The three of them—Nelly, Naomi, and Adel—were sitting in the living room.Nelly said, “How I love rainy nights.”Adel looked at Naomi.Her head was heavy with a headache, and she rested her hand on her forehead in silence.Then he looked at Nelly and said, “They say rain is a sign that the sky has been generous, showering gifts upon humans.”Naomi got up and walked toward her room without a word, seemingly going to sleep.She entered her room and closed the door.Nelly watched Naomi until the door was shut, then turned to Adel and said, “They say Adel is the most beautiful gift.”They sat exchanging words of love in the quiet, sharing gentle smiles. The
Nelly left the apartment and closed the door behind her.It was one of the most beautiful days for Adel and Nelly. Adel’s car had stopped near the curb by the sea. He and Nelly got out. Adel approached one of the boatmen renting out boats on the water, hired a boat, and handed over the payment. Nelly was hesitant, afraid to step onto the boat. Adel came closer, lifted her into his arms, and placed her safely inside. She stood in the boat, hands resting on his shoulders. Adel positioned himself at the helm, ignited the engine, and guided the boat through the blue waves.Naomi approached Adel and stood beside him. He placed his hand on her back, held her by the waist, and drew her gently toward him, pulling her close. He whispered:“I can’t believe what I’m experiencing today.”Nelly: “I will make all your days filled with happiness.”Adel and Naomi remained on the boat, oblivious to the passage of time or th
Days passed, and Adel grew closer to Naomi, exaggerating his attentions and showing his love for her at every moment, in every place. Meanwhile, Nelly noticed his excessive care for Naomi and his neglect of her, which fueled the fire of jealousy in her heart. The lover of Adel began sending him messages on her phone.Adel was lying on his bed beside Naomi in the room when he received a message from Nelly:"You were amazing today. The way you laughed while talking to her set my heart on fire."Adel replied:"Wait until tonight… after she sleeps."Then another message to Nelly:"I know I’ve neglected you these past days. Tonight we’ll ignite the fire of love… just wait until Naomi falls asleep."Midnight: When the night closed its doors over the city, just as the house’s doors closed over betrayal.Naomi had fallen asleep, exhausted from the arduous household chores and preparing meals—chores
