So say it now… because I have somewhere very important to be”

I said while leaning back slowly on the chair, and crossing one leg over the other with the kind of calm that unnerved them more than yelling ever could

No one spoke immediately

But I could feel the tension it sat between us like a loaded tray silent, heavy, waiting to be tipped

Aunt Evelyn was the first to break

She let out a slow breath, her hands fidgeting in her lap as she forced a strained smile

“Well… since we’re apparently saying things now, I’ll go first” she adjusted herself in the chair, clearing her throat as though that would steady her voice “I received a letter yesterday from the caretaker and weirdly enough he says I’m behind on rent”

She said her eyes flicking up to me, with an accusing glare

“Imagine how humiliating that was,” she continued, “to be told by a stranger that the building you’ve lived in for years is now demanding money no call no message nothing just a notice shoved under my door”

  • No Longer A Fool For You    Better than You

    Before I could blink, before I could even process the shift in air, Matthew had me pinned beneath him—not violently, not tenderly, but just there… confined.His arms braced on either side of me, his eyes dark like thunderclouds ready to erupt.“What the hell?” I breathed, voice unsteady but edged with defiance. “What are you doing? What exactly are you trying to prove?”His jaw locked, breath hitching, as he stared me down with a gaze that chilled me to my bones—but I didn’t let it show.“You think this is a game, don’t you?” he said, low and bitter. “You honestly believe all your little antics will work? Is that it?”My brows tightened. “What antics?”“You, parading around in lingerie.Acting like you’re some vixen from a late-night drama, switching on the light so I could get a better look.Giggling into that damn phone.All of it—just to reel me in.”At his words, I let out a dry, cynical laugh. “Oh, spare me.”He leaned in, his voice sharp—like shards of glass.“Let me spell this

  • No Longer A Fool For You    Long Night

    The bathroom was warm, heavy with steam, my breath fogging slightly against the mirror as I dragged a towel over my skin, I didn’t rush I did that because I knew what I was planning for tonight. Pulling the robe around myself, and knotting it firmly at the waist as my skin still tingled from the heat of the water, and my damp hair clung softly to my shoulders. I stood there for a moment, breathing in and out, steady and silent. Before I reached for the doorknob and turned it slowly. The bedroom was dim and the light from the balcony spilled faintly in, barely touching the large frame of the bed. “The lights were already off, and I could see Matthew’s frame broad and still, his back turned, like sleep had already claimed his name. .But I knew that peace wouldn’t last long… not with me in the room now.” Stepping fully into the room i flipped the switch on as the entire room burst to life, light spilling over everything the bed, the walls, my body. Matthew groaned. "What the h

    The door clicked softly behind me as I stepped out of Matthew's room, and the familiar scent of the hallway hit me — clean, cold, clinical, just the way I remembered it. I didn’t need to look around to know exactly where I was, because every inch of this place was etched into my memory.My eyes, almost instinctively, trailed down the corridor, slowly, until they landed on it like they had always known where to go.My old room.The room I had once called mine not just in this life, but even in the life before this one. The place where I had cried, ached, and endured, tucked away at the far end of the corridor, quiet and forgotten, just like I had been.A chill ran down my spine, sharp and sudden, as my footsteps echoed softly while I walked toward it, each sound bouncing off the silence.My heart thudded against my ribs, harder now, each step somehow heavier than the last one I had taken, as if the weight of the past grew with every inch I moved closer.I stopped in front of the door

  • No Longer A Fool For You    Back Home

    My knuckles hovered over the front door for longer than I’d like to admit. It was ridiculous how something so simple just knocking could feel like stepping into a battlefield. But that’s exactly what it was, wasn’t it? War. War for my home war for my name and war for my husband. I exhaled slowly and rapped my knuckles on the door twice, firm but composed. The sound echoed, bouncing through the grand entrance hall behind the thick wooden barrier. Not even ten seconds passed before the door swung open. Of course, it had to be her. Sarah stood there in a silk robe too expensive for someone who’d never earned a day’s worth of honest labor. Her eyes scanned me like I was a street beggar, her brow arched with irritation. “What are you doing here?” she asked, arms folding across her chest with practiced superiority. I tilted my head slightly and smiled. “That’s a strange question,” I replied sweetly. “I’m in my husband’s house. So I think the better question is why wouldn’t I be

  • No Longer A Fool For You    Set Up

    The sharp clink of glass against metal cut through the smooth jazz playing in the background. As a hush rolled across the grand ballroom like a velvet curtain being drawn. Forks paused mid-air, conversations stilled, and all eyes turned to the center stage where the MC, dressed in a dark velvet tuxedo, stood with an uneasy smile.“Ladies and gentlemen,” he began, his voice amplified across the room, “I do apologize for the interruption, but it appears we have a small... issue.”I knew this was coming.I didn’t flinch I did not even bat a lash. Just tilted the wine glass gently against my lips, sipping slowly, pretending like my pulse wasn’t steady and cold. I had known the moment they slipped it into my bag earlier. Mata’s clumsy fingers and Sarah’s poorly masked smug glances had been a dead giveaway apart from the fact that I had experienced something like this in my past life.“I’ve just been informed,” the MC continued, voice a little tighter now, “that a necklace is missing.

  • No Longer A Fool For You    The Party

    I adjusted the delicate strap of my silver dress as the black car slowed in front of the grand ballroom My heart thudded against my ribs as I turned to glance at Ethan beside me He sat like royalty confident, handsome, commanding attention even before stepping out As the chauffeur opened the door, Ethan slid out first, then turned to offer his hand to me I took it My fingers curled over his palm, steadying myself This was the moment The soft click of my heels against the marble floor was drowned by the sudden hush that fell across the hall And heads turned Conversations dropped mid-sentence The crowd stared as Ethan, the elusive billionaire bachelor, entered the hall not alone, but with a woman clinging effortlessly to his side And not just any woman Me Ethan's hand was laced with mine as if it belonged there He wore a tuxedo that molded to his broad shoulders like it had been stitched by a god While my dress shimmered like moonlight, hugging my curves, my dark hair casc
