56. Little Jonas & Pharmacy– 20 years ago –>“Miko… Are you okay?” Mama walks into my room, while I’m laying in my bed. I wince at the sudden flood of photons on my face when she turns on the light. “Yea… I am fine.”She takes a seat beside me and says, “You are awfully quiet today. Tell me what happened?” I sigh. “I want one weekend for myself... Just for once.”Mama gives me a sympathetic smile, placing a comforting hand on my shoulder. “I know you’ve been working hard... I’m proud of you.”I snort. “You are buttering me up. What do you need?”She laughs softly. “This is the list. I cannot find it in local stores.”I groan while unfolding it to read. Some spices and some special coffee beans. I love the food she cooks so I don’t get to complain. “Keep your cell phone around. I will call if they don’t have the brand you asked for.”Like Papa, Mama too is still hung up on the idea of our old landline with a fancy receiver. But it’s hard to get hold of her wh

57. Skiing > I step onto the speed boat holding Jessica’s little finger. The breeze feels nice, whipping my hair into a frenzy. “I swear to God I will chop them off soon,” I mutter to myself, my voice barely audible against the boat’s engine. It’s getting harder to take care of them “Don’t.” A voice says, and I glance back over my shoulder. I hadn’t realized Mikolaj was walking behind me. He is wearing his signature sunglasses, obscuring his eyes from view. The lenses reflect the sunlight, making me squint my eyes. “Why?” I ask him as my gaze swims across his broad frame. He is wearing a crisp, white linen shirt paired with well-fitted Khaki trousers. The top few buttons are undone, revealing a glimpse of his chest. Inviting enough. He leans over, and I step back to give him space. He smiles and picks Jessica. “It’s convenient to hold you by your hair…” he says as he passes me, leaving me flustered all over again. Last evening was wonderful. Mikolaj had called

58. Magnets>A van?My eyes widen with concern. “For how long?” I ask, glancing back over my shoulder to spot the so-called van. But all I see are headlights flashing in my eyes. It’s almost dark and the traffic is… moderate. It takes me a moment and then I spot it.“The gray one?”“Yes,” Philip glances at us through the rearview mirror. “I’ve been keeping an eye on it for a while now, Ms. Adams. It feels like it’s been tailing us since we left the dock.”The van has tinted glasses. It looks like a delivery van or the kind that kidnaps people. A shiver passes my spine and I look away. “And apologies Mr Josef, I wasn’t attentive before,” Philip adds and I realize something. Why is he using surnames all of the sudden? Is he pissed at me? “That’s alright Phillip. You are not a bodyguard,” Mikolaj says as he looks back. “And please call me Riley. What’s up with Ms Adams!” I say and he chuckles. “Are they paparazzi?” I ask. Before he can make up an excuse.“Probably... Bu
Ruining My Enemy's Daughter 59. Some insights
59. Some insights>Reed? I take a seat on the couch with my legs folded to my chest. Squinting my eyes, I try to read again. Or is it Red? No. It’s Reed.Only a few names can send a chill down my spine. West Reed is one of them. Depending on my mood on certain days, this name can make me depressed, hopeless or wistful.I don’t have any mental capacity for any of that. So I ignore my feelings and wrack my brain, to remember if there is some business rival Mikolaj has with this name. But why would a business rival do such a thing? This is way more than rivalry. And ‘Reed’ I know… It’s impossible that they could be the same person. My mind is riddled with questions, so I read the article to find some answers. It is the same old stuff I already know about black canopy with some absurd claims. ‘Renowned combat contractor.’‘Formidable reputation.’‘Conducting hits or rescues with alleged government support.’And whatnot. I skim the article quickly. ‘Rumors persist of hi

60. Old Man>An excitement bubbles up inside me and I can’t remember why I was annoyed at him. I must have a memory of a goldfish right now.“Are you coming or not?” he says as he makes his way to his room. I trail behind him like a lost kitten.When we pass the basement door, a playful smile tugs at the corners of my lips. There’s something mysterious about his basement. More he denies and dances around the topic, the more intrigued I become. What is in there?“There are some promises you made but didn’t keep.” My voice is barely audible, but he hears me anyway. “Like?” He turns, raising an eyebrow in question. It sounds like a challenge to elaborate. School raises a burning question. Am I ready for what he has in mind? Absolutely not. So I respond with a meek, “Nothing.” As if he reads my mind and his gaze shifts towards the basement door. “Let’s cover the basics first,” he proposes. His tone is laced with a mixture of amusement and dominance. “Once you’re comfor

61. Girlfriend.>– 20 years ago –“What do you mean, you are not in a mood?” Chloe whines in a high-pitched voice. After dropping Lena at Garrett’s place, I asked her if she wanted me to stay for moral support. She denied.Now that I am back home, I cannot stop thinking about her. Going to a party is last thing on my mind.“I didn’t get to rest over the weekend. Let me sleep, for fuxk’s sake.”“Oh Fuxk off. I am ready and I am going. Maybe I will find myself a new boyfriend.”I snort. “Good luck finding one to bear with you.”“Ohhh, do you think it’s easy to be with you? It’s not.”I grin as I lay on my back. “Oh really? So why do you bear with me?”“Because…I like you.”I go quiet at her words. But after a brief silence I say, “uh-huh. That’s news.”“Go Die! I am going. You never join me at the parties, anyway.”“Thanks, I want to get some sleep.”“Oh yeah, sure, get your beauty sleep.” She mocks, and I cut the call, laughing.I stare at the ceiling, thinking

Betrayal > – 20 years ago – “A financial journalist, to be exact. Did she ever tell you? I don’t think so.” Her words echo in the room and a mix of disbelief and anger surges within me. “Do you even have any idea what you are saying?” How stupid can she be? She huffs. “I remember the reports you were worried about, Miko. The one published three weeks ago. Her father could be the writer.”I chuckle, shaking my head. It's not that simple to locate an anonymous writer, Chloe.. And I vetted Garrett’s family when Lena started dating-” “Clearly you didn’t do a good job. Because I am sure of what I am talking about.” I let out a heavy sigh. “Explain.” She is wrong. She has to be. “I had my suspicions, and I needed to prove my point.” She crosses her arms and admits with her chin up. “So I spied on them. I saw Garrett visiting a news agency kinda place a few times. Yes, it’s difficult to find an anonymous writer and yes, it’s sheer luck. But if you see the photog

63. Details>Traffic was terrible this morning, and it took me forever to reach. Thankfully, I took a bath at Miko’s place. So I only have to change my clothes. Right now I look like a nomad. I open the door, expecting to find it empty. So I’m a little shocked when I see girls propped up in bed.“Hey…“ Ira drawls.“Hiii… Why didn’t you go to class yet?” I ask as I stroll into the room. Natalie arches a brow and grins. “What do you think?” Ira texted me half an hour ago asking how long it would take me to reach. I had told them I would be late and they should leave without me.My cheeks turn red as I close the door behind me. “I can see you have missed a lecture, too. I don’t know what purpose it will serve you..,” I mumble as I place the luggage bag under the bed. “… because there won’t be any talk show about my sex life today.!”“NOOO…” Natalie groans. “Please!”“Seriously, stop being so full of air! You know we are curious,” Ira adds.“You two can sincerely fuxk off
