TWISTED

My mind jumped from the amputated tongue I had to get rid of earlier.

I could feel him before I saw him. The air shifted, grew heavier, charged with a kind of tension I hated. The sound of his footsteps was familiar, unmistakable, and as much as I tried to ignore it, my pulse quickened.

I kept my eyes on the book in my hands, pretending I didn’t know he was there. But I did. I always did. Rob had a way of making his presence known, like a storm on the horizon silent, but you could feel the thunder before it ever struck.

“Bianca.”

His voice was low, rough, and unmistakably him. I didn’t even bother to look up.

“Why are you here?” I spat, the words coming out sharper than I meant. I was glad he was out. I had the house to myself to panic over the PI’s death.

“Leo sent me. He told me to look after you because he trust me. Because I can keep you safe,” he replied, his voice slightly slurred, but the control was still there, just barely.

I finally glanced up at him, my eyes narrowing ins

  • MY EX ENEMY IS OBSESSED WITH ME   I WILL FIRE YOU

    BIANCA’S POV The silence in the car was thick. It wasn’t angry or peaceful. Just… loaded. “You don’t have to pretend with me, you know,” he said after a while. “I’m not pretending. I’m good.” He glanced at me. “You think I don’t know what that looks like?” I didn’t answer. I stared out the window and tried not to care that his hand brushed against my thigh when he changed gears. I hated how my skin reacted. I hated that my heart still beat for him, traitorous and stupid. When we got to the office, his jaw clenched. “Security’s doubled. I’ve vetted everyone twice. If anything feels off, you tell me. I’ll be sitting in your waiting room all day. If you need anything, even as little as spoon feeding you, let me know okay?” I stepped out of the car and turned to him. “Just stay in your place. That’s all.” He didn’t follow me inside right away. He stayed by the car, staring at the building like it owed him a debt in blood. Inside, the office looked different. Even the walls w

  • MY EX ENEMY IS OBSESSED WITH ME   OBSESSION

    ROB’S POV We got to New York and I half expected her to want to turn around but she didn’t. I pulled our bags out of the airport. A text notification made me pull my phone out of my pocket. New York was clean, for now. Maybe Victor had moved on from Bianca and me or he just lost interest. Whatever it was, when he came back, I’d be waiting with his grave already dug. By the time we got to her place, it was already evening. I called cleaning service the day before to make sure it already cleaned for her when we got here. Bianca didn’t say much. She walked into her home like it belonged to someone else. She went straight to the shower. The moment I heard the water running, I pulled out my laptop. It was time. I loaded the footage from the week of her accident. I’d installed hidden cameras without telling her. It was for her safety, or so I told myself at the time. Now I was just thankful I had. I saw Vanessa walk into the compound, wave at the camera, and tampere

  • MY EX ENEMY IS OBSESSED WITH ME   VANESSA 2

    ROB’S POVEveryone was still staring and the tension hadn’t eased. I saw the panic in her eyes and the rage right beneath it.The officers tried to calm the crowd but Bianca’s voice cut through everything.“I’m not anyone’s property.”She stood up and looked at me and then at Nadir and then the rest of the room. Her body was trembling but her voice held steady.“I’m a woman. I work and I pay my rent. I dress how I want in my own house and I will not apologize for being seen. I have done nothing illegal and nothing shameful and I will not let you shame me into silence.”One of the women opened her mouth to speak but Bianca raised her hand.“You should be ashamed. Grown adults feeding off gossip like you’re righteous. You’re even spreading more lies and hate. Judging a woman for being single and having male friends and breathing too loudly. What do you want me to be? Invisible? Powerless?”No one answered.“I don’t need a man to protect me,” she said and her eyes moved between Nadir and

  • MY EX ENEMY IS OBSESSED WITH ME   PUBLIC HUMILIATION

    BIANCA’S POVThe neighbors came out of their houses to watch the police take Rob and me away.My neighbor was still ranting. “Yes. She invites different men over everyday. This is not a neighborhood for such behavior. There are children watching and she’s a bad role model.”The policeman took notes.It was all a lie and she was blowing it out of proportion but arguing would only attract more attention.We got to the community security office and they separated us. Rob was taken into a smaller room and I stayed in the front reception. I could hear voices behind the door, people murmuring. My neighbor was still talking, her voice loud and self-righteous.“She’s always walking around in shorts and inviting men over. That’s not the kind of woman we want in this area. It’s disgusting.”I sat down and said nothing. Any reaction would be used against me. I could feel the weight of the stares. People who never liked me used that opportunity to say all manner of things about me.“She carries

  • MY EX ENEMY IS OBSESSED WITH ME   MEN IN HER APARTMENT

    BIANCA’S POV “I lost our baby.” The words hung in the air and it felt like they were still stuck in my throat but I had already said them. His eyes didn’t move and his hands didn’t let go but his breath was uneven. “I didn’t know I was pregnant,” I whispered. “Not until after the accident. I started bleeding a few hours after they checked me and found no fatal wounds and I thought maybe it was the stress but it got worse. I had no idea I was two weeks and a few days pregnant.” I never wanted children. It wasn’t in books for me, nor was marriage. But to have my baby taken away by death without giving me a choice broke me in ways I couldn’t express. “I was already alone and I had no one and I didn’t even get a chance to feel anything before it was gone.” His hand rested on my back again and I leaned into it. I hadn’t said any of this to anyone. Not even the therapist. Not even myself out loud. I looked at him now and my voice cracked again. “I sometimes wish I didn’t survive.”

  • MY EX ENEMY IS OBSESSED WITH ME   SAD REUNION

    BIANCA’ POV “Bianca,” he said as soon as he saw me. Nadir turned to me, confused. “Yasmin? Who’s this?” Roberto’s gaze flicked to Nadir, then back to me. I cleared my throat and decided to act unbothered even though I was shaking inside. I fought back the tears and stepped forward with a smile. “Hi, Mrs Amari,” I greeted the landlady. “Bless you, my dear. This gentleman was looking for you,” she said. I turned to him. “How may I help you?” My voice shook. He didn’t respond. He just kept staring at me like I might disappear if he blinked. “I have to attend to something. Take care,” Mrs Amari said and walked away. “Yasmin I’ve got this. I told him he was in the wrong place. Go in and rest,” Nadir said. He placed his arm around me, gently trying to lead me inside as he reached for the door, but Rob stopped it with his foot and pushed it open wider. “You don’t get into strangers’ houses without permission,” Nadir said to him. “Back off, boy. I need to speak to
