EMILE

The estate always became quieter after midnight… Not peaceful.

Just quiet.

You see there was a difference between the two..

Peace implied comfort and our lives had never been particularly comfortable.

Not with our father living under the same roof.

Not with the secrets buried beneath generations of wealth.

Not with a family like ours.

I loosened my tie as I stepped into my bedroom and shut the door behind me.

The room was large enough to fit three normal apartments inside it. Floor-to-cei

  • The Devil In Therapy   Out On A Date

    ELIANI should have known something was wrong the moment Aiden refused to tell me where we were going.People with good intentions usually answered simple questions but Aiden only smiled. “You’ll see.”“I honestly now hate that sentence.”“I know.”“It usually ends with me regretting something.”His grin widened as he unlocked the passenger door of his car. “Get in.”I folded my arms. “You really enjoy ordering people around, don’t you?.”“No.” He waited until I looked at him. “I enjoy ordering you around.”I sighed dramatically before climbing into the car. “One day,” I muttered as I buckled my seat belt, “you’re going to meet someone who refuses to entertain your nonsense.”“I already did.” He shut the door before walking around to the driver’s side. “You.”I pretended to look out of the window so he wouldn’t see the smile threatening to appear but it didn’t work as nothing ever escaped him.“You smiled.”“I absolutely did not.”“I saw it.”“Yea well.. You imagined it.”“I have exce

  • The Devil In Therapy   Father And Son

    EMILE“What a sight for sore eyes” I sarcastically muttered..The restaurant occupied the top floor of one of Manhattan’s most expensive hotels.The kind of place where people smiled too much and spoke too softly because everyone present was either rich, powerful, or trying desperately to become both.I hated it.Naturally, it was one of Father’s favorites.The balcony overlooked the city skyline while fragile glass railings separated us from a drop that would kill a man instantly but as usual Father claimed the view helped him think.Personally, I suspected he simply enjoyed looking down on things, including people.. Especially people.The mid morning breeze rolled across the balcony as I sat opposite him while a bottle of whiskey rested between us yet either of us had touched the drink or the food.That was typical.. Business always came before eating.Father folded his hands on the table.His silver hair reflected the city lights while his brown eyes remained as sharp as ever.Age

  • The Devil In Therapy   Out Of The Apartment

    ELIAN“No.” I calmly replied as I stared at him.Aiden did not even blink.I still stood in the middle of my kitchen with a coffee mug in one hand while he leaned casually against the counter looking entirely too pleased with himself.The expression alone made me suspicious.“No?” he repeated.“No.”“That’s your final answer?”“Yes.”Aiden nodded thoughtfully for a couple of seconds then he pointed toward the hallway.“Go get dressed.”I stared at him. “Aiden, were you listening to anything I just said?”“Perfectly.”“And?”“And you’re getting dressed so I can take you out to calm your doctor-y mind.”A sigh escaped me. “You are genuinely impossible.”“I hear that a lot.”“Yea.. I wonder why.”His grin widened and I should have known something was wrong the moment he started smiling like that.It was the smile he wore whenever he had already decided how a conversation would end and unfortunately for me, he was usually correct.I took another sip of coffee and narrowed my eyes. “Where e

  • The Devil In Therapy   The Aroma Of Coffee

    ELIANThe first thing I noticed when I finally woke up after my 3am ordeal was that somebody was watching me.The second thing I noticed was that the somebody in question had made himself entirely too comfortable.Aiden was sitting in the armchair across from my bed with one ankle resting over his knee and a mug of coffee in his hand.My mug.I stared at him and he stared back then he lifted the mug slightly. “Good morning my early bird”I looked toward the clock thenI looked back at him then I looked at the clock again.It was 7:50am“Why are you here?” I quickly asked because asking him how he got in my house was a waste of my precious brain cells.. He was Aiden so yea that was answer enough.“It’s Sunday.”“That doesn’t really answer my question.”“It answers most questions.”I groaned and buried my face in my pillow. Unfortunately, that only made him laugh and the sound drifted through the apartment and settled somewhere beneath my ribs.I hated that I was starting to recognize th

  • The Devil In Therapy   Digital Footprint

    EMILEI wanted to sleep but I just couldn’t..The area surrounding my estate looked different at night perhaps it was because darkness hid things like cracks, stains, the ugly truths people spent their entire lives trying to bury beneath expensive clothes and polished smiles.Or perhaps it was because New York had always reminded me of the family I was born into.Beautiful from a distance.. Dangerous up close.I stood beside the windows of my study and watched headlights move nearby.The glass reflected my expression back at me.. Calm, controlled and unimpressed well at least on the surface.The truth was far less pleasant.. Aiden was spiraling again and whenever Aiden spiraled, somebody usually ended up regretting it.Sometimes permanently.I lifted my whiskey and took a slow sip while my attention remained fixed on the file spread across my desk.Photographs.. Reports.. Background checks.. Names.. Dates.Every piece of information my people had managed to gather within a few hours a

  • The Devil In Therapy   Fine Sunday Morning

    ELIANThe first thing I heard as early as three in the morning was my phone vibrating across the nightstand.“Argghhh what the hell”The second thing I heard was myself groaning into the pillow but I didn’t move.The phone vibrated again then again.Whoever it was had clearly decided that peace was optional.With a sigh, I reached blindly for the device and squinted at the screen.Leah.Leah!! The hell was she calling for..I stared at the name for several seconds till the call ended then immediately started again.I closed my eyes. “Persistent as ever.”The third call came before I could finish the sentence and against my better judgment, I answered.“What?”“Well good morning to you too.”I sat up slowly.Sunlight streamed through the curtains, painting the room gold.“What do you want, Leah?”“Ouch.”“You called three times.”“You ignored the first two.”“That should have been your answer.”Her laugh floated through the speaker and for some reason, it made me tired instead of happy

  • The Devil In Therapy   Sleep-Talking

    ELIANI didn’t know when I passed out all I knew was that pain throbbed behind my eyes.Like someone had cracked my skull open and stuffed cotton wool into my brain.I frowned slightly, my face pressing deeper into something soft and cold. The scent surrounding me wasn’t really mine which didn’t m

  • The Devil In Therapy   Marked As His

    ELIANAiden rested his jaw on a hand as he watched me eat the pizza he had brought with him.He had demanded I ate something before I said anything else to him.His request threw me off, his behaviour deviating from blackmail to…care.I shook the thought off as I dropped the piece of pizza I was ni

    ELIANI looked like I was attacked by a rabid animal, the litter of hickeys and bruises on my skin looking red and angry.By the time I had woken up this morning, the stranger was gone, disappeared into thin air like he never existed in the first place.I let out a sigh that sounded more disappoint

  • The Devil In Therapy   One Step Closer To Ruin

    ELIANImmediately I got home, I called a company that deals with changing locks. Despite the fact it was quite late, I had them change all the locks in the house.I changed the passwords to my laptops and my phones. I was determined to flush the parasite that was Aiden Knight out of my life for goo
