I didn’t expect him to leave me alone.

That was the first thing that felt strange.

After everything—the tension, the way he spoke, the way he moved like every decision was already made—I thought he would keep me close, keep talking, keep pressing whatever it was he wanted me to understand.

Instead, he did the opposite.

“Come,” he said, stepping away from his desk.

I followed him without questioning it, though my eyes still moved around the office, taking in every detail like it might explain so

    I didn’t expect him to leave me alone.That was the first thing that felt strange.After everything—the tension, the way he spoke, the way he moved like every decision was already made—I thought he would keep me close, keep talking, keep pressing whatever it was he wanted me to understand.Instead, he did the opposite.“Come,” he said, stepping away from his desk.I followed him without questioning it, though my eyes still moved around the office, taking in every detail like it might explain something. It didn’t. Everything about this place only made things more complicated.He led me through a side door I hadn’t noticed before. The space beyond it was quieter, softer, like a different world tucked behind the sharp edges of his office. The lighting was warmer here, less harsh, the atmosphere less… controlled.“This is where you’ll stay for now,” he said.I stepped inside slowly.It wasn’t just a room.It was a full resting suite.A couch that looked more comfortable than anything I’d

    I knew something had shifted the moment we stepped out of the café.Nikolai didn’t explain where we were going, just told me to follow him again, but this time there was no hesitation in his steps. Everything about him felt different.A car was already waiting.Sleek, black, tinted windows, the kind of car that didn’t belong to just anyone. The driver stepped out immediately, opening the door for us like this was routine.I paused for a second, eyeing it.“You didn’t think we’d keep walking, did you?” Nikolai said.“I didn’t think this far,” I replied.“Get in.”I did.The door shut quietly behind me, and within seconds the car was moving. The city lights stretched across the window, familiar streets passing by, then slowly changing into something cleaner, quieter, more structured.I didn’t bother asking where we were going.I already knew how that would go.Nikolai sat beside me, calm as always, like this was nothing. Like everything around him just fell into place without effort.“Y

    I shouldn’t have followed him.That thought sat heavy in my chest the moment we started walking farther away from the arcade, farther from the noise, from Bella, from anything that felt normal. The night air was cooler now, quieter too, like the city had pulled back just enough to make everything feel more exposed.“How far is this place?” I asked.“Not far.”“You said that five minutes ago.”“And it’s still true.”I exhaled sharply. “You’re annoying.”“That’s not what you were saying earlier.”I frowned slightly. “When?”“When you were laughing.”Right.The claw machine.I almost smirked, but stopped myself.“That was different,” I said.“Because I wasn’t winning?” he asked.“Exactly.”A faint shift in his expression, barely there, but I caught it.Good.At least he was human.We turned down a quieter street, the lights dimmer here, fewer people around. The further we went, the more the city noise faded, replaced by something calmer, almost too calm.“That’s not suspicious at all,” I

    Nikolai didn’t move.Not after handing me the teddy bear, not after asking that question that didn’t feel like a question at all.The noise of the arcade kept going around us, lights flashing, people laughing, machines ringing, but right there where we stood, it felt like everything had slowed.“Are you done here?” he repeated.Bella shifted beside me. I could feel it, the way her posture changed, the way her attention sharpened.I didn’t answer immediately.Because something in his tone made it clear that whatever I said next mattered more than it should.Nikolai didn’t wait.“You’re coming with me,” he said.Like the decision had already been made.Bella reacted instantly.“Excuse me?” she said, stepping slightly in front of me. “No, he’s not.”Nikolai’s gaze moved to her slowly.Not annoyed.Not surprised.Just… assessing.Like he was seeing her properly for the first time.“And you are?” he asked.Bella blinked once, thrown off for half a second, then straightened. “Someone who ac

    We should have left.That thought came too late, somewhere between Bella dragging me back toward the claw machines and me not putting up much resistance.“Last game,” she said, already feeding coins into the machine like it had personally offended her.“You said that ten minutes ago.”“This one counts.”I leaned against the side, watching her narrow her eyes at the glass like she could intimidate it into working. She adjusted the controls carefully, lips pressed together, fully locked in.“You know it’s still rigged, right?” I said.“Be quiet,” she muttered.The claw dropped, grabbed a teddy bear, lifted it halfway—and then let it slip right back into the pile.Bella stared at it.“That’s actually insulting.”I laughed softly. “You should’ve stopped earlier.”“I was never winning,” she shot back. Then she stepped aside and pointed at the machine. “Your turn. Let’s see what you can do.”“I never claimed I was good at this.”“Exactly. Prove it.”I sighed but stepped forward anyway, drop

    By the time the movie ended, the world outside felt quieter.Not literally. The city was still loud, people still moving, cars still passing, lights still flashing everywhere. But inside my head, things had settled a little. Not fixed, not gone, just… quieter.Bella stretched beside me as we stepped out of the cinema, her arms lifting above her head with a small groan. “Okay, that helped.”“Popcorn helped,” I said.“Don’t downplay the emotional impact of cinema,” she replied seriously.“You cried over a side character.”“He didn’t deserve that ending.”“He had five minutes of screen time.”“That’s five minutes too many for him to suffer,” she shot back.I huffed softly, shaking my head.For a second, we just stood there outside, not really in a rush to go anywhere. The night had settled in properly now, the air cooler, the lights brighter against the dark.Bella glanced down the street, then suddenly lit up. “Arcade.”I followed her gaze.The place was a few shops down, glowing with n

    The dorm hallway smelled like new carpet, pizza grease, and nervous sweat. I wheeled myself down the corridor behind the RA—clipboard guy from earlier—while two bodyguards trailed us like silent black shadows, each carrying half my life in suitcases and garment bags. My father had insisted on their

    I’ve been staring at my phone screen for the last twenty minutes like it owes me money.No call from Elias.No text.Nothing.He’d promised he’d call once he finished unpacking. That was two hours ago. I kept refreshing the messages app, then locking the screen, then unlocking it again like the not

    The Lisbon apartment had one good feature: the balcony overlooked a narrow street where people actually lived. Not tourists. Not expats. Real people—old women hanging laundry at dawn, kids kicking a deflated soccer ball until it rolled into the gutter, a guy in a stained apron smoking while he swep
