Tangled Desires Chapter 10
He was everything I despised, but, he also became everything I could not resist. -Unknown. |A L E E Z A|After the whole day, I returned back to my luxurious apartment, the lonely luxurious apartment. The bustling streets outside seemed alien, and the empty rooms echoed with the solitude I had chosen. I missed my family, their warmth, their laughter. Most of all, I missed my brothers. I don't think there would be a day where I won't miss them. I settled onto the couch unable to shake away the feeling of loneliness that washed over me. The apartment, though cozy, felt strangely empty without the comforting presence of my family.I checked the time in my phone amd realised that Elena, my niece, must be sleeping right now. So, it would not be the best time to call my eldest brother, hence, I decided to call, Lorenzo, my second eldest brother. The phone ringed twice before he picked it up, his voice laced with concern even before I uttere

Beware the devil in a man's disguise, for he'll lead you to the darkest of surprises. -Unknown.|K I R I L L|The forest lay before me, a vast sea of towering trees that reached towards a moon shrouded in wisps of cloud. The sound of dried lips churned under my feets with each step taken forward by me. Keeping the mask on, I continued my steps towards my destination. The moon, a mere sliver in the obsidian sky, cast its pale light upon the gnarled trees that stood sentinel in the darkness. My footsteps were measured, each one taken with purpose and unwavering resolve. Fear was a foreign concept to a man of my background, a world where danger lurked around every corner. I moved with the quiet confidence of one who had faced far greater threats than the enigmatic woods that surrounded me. The tangled underbrush reached out like ghostly fingers, but I pushed through, undeterred. Each rustling leaf and distant hoot of an owl were mere distractions, background noise in the grand symphon

Blessed are those who do not fear solitude, who are not afraid of their own company, who are not always desperately looking for something to do, something to amuse themselves with. -Paulo Coelho.|A L E E Z A|Other people's days might turn bad, but my life is going awry. I have no idea how I consistently manage to immerse myself in the worst of troubles. It's like an unwanted talent that I possess, and no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get rid of it."Are you okay now?" Lev asked me, and if someone were to see the concern on his face, they might think I was on my deathbed."I'll survive," I replied with a playful smile.No matter how many problems life throws at me, I can never forget this person standing in front of me, with so much worry in his eyes.Tonight, Lev came to my apartment again with dinner. He mentioned that he doesn't like having dinner alone, and his older brother, who is egoistic and arrogant but somehow a good broth

She walked into the future, blissfully unaware of the storm that was brewing on the horizon. -Unknown. |A L E E Z A|The morning Kirill walked through my door, I knew I was in for a week of pure torture.As he arrived at my doorstep, I couldn't help but notice how different he looked from his younger brother. Where Lev was warm and easygoing, he exuded an aura of reserved confidence. He had the same striking dark hair, but his chocolate brown eyes held a perpetual glint of indifference.When I opened the door of my apartment, he walked straight inside like he own my fucking house, not wasting any time with pleasantries."Hello to you too," I gritted through clenched teeth, my voice laced with sarcasm while barely concealing my irritation. Stuffing his hand inside the pocket of his jeans, he surveyed my apartment with a critical eye, which made me hyper aware of the way I live. Things are messy. The boxes of pizza are lying on the couch

I'm not a possession to be handled, I'm a person with my own boundaries. -Unknown. |A L E E Z A|I quickly slipped on my sneakers and tiptoed forward. Once I ventured outside, I closed the door quietly and began trailing him.Kirill was completely clad in dark attire. In his hand, there was an object that caught my attention. But before I could discern what it was, he suddenly halted. My breath seemed to escape me, and I felt as though I was in the presence of a creature rather than a human, and if I caught his gaze, he'd do away with me. Before he turned to look at me, I hid behind a tree, holding my breath.I placed my hand on my chest, waiting for what felt like an eternity. My heart raced with the intensity of a thousand drums. After a few anxious minutes, when the sound of his advancing steps reached my ears, I dared to peek out. I had silently applauded myself and stealthily shadowed his every step.I couldn't fathom where he wa

Her complexity challenges my patience, but I choose to persist. -Unknown. |K I R I L L|The searing anger pulsing through my veins threatened to consume me whole. Her words lingered in the air like a haunting melody, her defiance echoing in the dense silence of the forest. My jaw clenched as I fought to rein in the tempest raging within me. How dare she challenge me, question my authority in my own realm?My gaze bore into hers, searching for any sign of fear or submission. Instead, all I found was a fiery determination, a spirit refusing to be broken. A flicker of admiration pierced through the haze of fury, an unexpected ember of respect for her unyielding spirit. But I couldn't afford to let it sway me. Not now. Not ever.I glared at her, the anger still burned within me like an unquenchable fire.The audacity of this girl, to follow me into the heart of the unknown, was beyond comprehension.Her defiance had awakened something prim

Fear may linger in the unknown, but so does the potential for endless possibilities. -Unknown. |A L E E Z A|Life is so unpredictable; one moment, you're peacefully sleeping, and the next, you're thrust into the adventure of a lifetime. Just like now,I had confidently told Kirill that I would find my own way, and here I am, shouting for help, hoping against hope that he hasn't gone too far and will come back. Because as much as his anger, no matter how profound, is better than my current situation.And I have no idea who dug this pit in such a deserted jungle. What did they intend by digging it? In the pit where I've fallen, all I can do is hope that no wild animal passes by, or else they'll have a ready-made meal served on a plate. In the middle of the night, I don't think anyone other than wild animals will be around here."Someone help!" I screamed again, the darkness around me only intensifying my unease.Due to the plaster on my

It's a profound realization when the villain of your story transforms into a character, full of nuances and contradictions. He wasn't bad; he was merely a man navigating the complexities of his own narrative. -Unknown. |A L E E Z A|The next four days passed with the speed of a plane. Kirill still lives in the same house as mine, that means my house itself. Because my right hand decided to play hooky, leaving me to fend for myself. Our talks? Well, they're more like nods and those awkward glances you give when you accidentally make eye contact with a stranger.Since that night in the scary forest, we haven't argued much. We haven't argued at all. We just simply ignore each other's existence. Well, it is not as simple as it sounds because whenever Kirill is in the same vicinity as mine, I quickly sense him and I hate it. I hate it how I am always quick to feel him in the room even before he enters it. "Need a hand?" Kirill asked, yesterda
