June

It’s happening again.

Much to my delight, of course.

This time, it’s vivid… so vivid. The place is unfamiliar but familiar. It's dreamlike and drenched in warmth.

It's a bathroom, but not just any bathroom.

It’s exquisite and classy. The kind you see in five-star hotel ads with gold fixtures and walls that gleam.

And I’m under the shower. Naked as hot water slides down my skin like silk.

But I don’t see him.

Why?

Then — I hear the door creak open slowly.

He walks in.

Good Lord.

He’s naked,

  • The Night Before I Knew Him   Go to Hell

    Cain's POVI heard her voice first.“Cain… Cain… Wake up, Cain.”Soft. Familiar. Cutting through the thick fog in my head like a blade of light. *Is she here? Is she calling me?*My heart slammed once, hard.Then the voice changed—rougher, louder, panicked.“Boss! Boss, WAKE UP—”Not Leila. Xavi.I tried to open my eyes. Nothing happened. It felt like someone had poured glue under my lids and let it dry. Everything was black and heavy. My body felt distant, like it belonged to someone else.*Did I survive?* *Am I still alive?* *Fuck… I came back.*“Stop yelling his name like that,” Freddie muttered nearby. His voice was low, controlled, the way he always sounded when things were serious.I tried again. Still nothing. My ears worked perfectly—I could hear every shift of fabric, every nervous breath—but my eyes refused to obey. The frustration burned hotter than whatever pain was lingering in my body.Then Pedro’s voice cut in, quieter, almost careful.“Will you tell him about Leila

    ♡Leila POV♡(Song recommedation: cardigan instrumental- Taylor swift)The words landed like a punch to the solar plexus. Air rushed out of me in a soundless gasp. Missing. My mom—sick, fragile, her mind slipping further into dementia every day—was missing.“What do you mean missing?” My voice cracked. “She’s—she’s supposed to be in her room. She doesn’t wander. She can’t even find the bathroom half the time without help.”Another careful pause. “She was last seen around eleven this morning during lunch. When staff went to check on her for her afternoon meds, her room was empty. Her walker is still by the bed, but her shoes are gone. We’ve searched the facility grounds and alerted local authorities. We’re calling all immediate family.”My knees buckled. I grabbed the back of the nearest bench to keep from hitting the ground. The metal burned hot under my palm.“She’s sick,” I whispered, more to myself than to the woman on the phone. “She doesn’t know where she is half the time. She thi

  • The Night Before I Knew Him   She's missing

    ♡ Leila ♡I twisted my head toward the front door the second it burst open, my heart slamming into my ribs so hard I thought it might crack them. For one frozen second, I was sure it was them—the same faceless men who’d dragged me out of New York in the dead of night, and dumped me back in Vegas without a single explanation.My mind raced ahead of reality: What if they’d come back? What if they’d changed their minds and decided I knew too much? What if they saw Kayla standing there, wide-eyed and innocent, and decided she was collateral?Oh God. Not her. Please, not her.“Leila! My God, where have you been?”June’s voice—sharp, familiar, laced with worry—cut through the panic like a knife. Relief hit me so fast it almost hurt. I wasn’t supposed to feel relieved to see her. June was the absolute last person I wanted in this house right now, the last person I wanted to face with the truth still rotting inside me. But compared to the alternative… I’d take June any day.I let out a shaky

  • The Night Before I Knew Him   It's thief!

    ♡Leila♡A sudden shout jolted me out of the heavy darkness.My eyes fluttered open halfway.Everything was blurry.Shapes moved around me, unfamiliar and hazy.“It’s a thief! It’s a thief!”The voice rang through the room.Too familiar.My eyes flew open.I jerked upright from the couch.“Kayla?” I whispered.My gaze darted around the room.My heart skipped.I was… home.Back in Las Vegas.Back in my house.For a moment, I couldn’t breathe.I thought I was going to die.I thought those men who captured me were taking me somewhere to kill me.So why—Why on God’s earth was I back here?Was this a dream?“Leila?” Kayla said slowly.The broom in her hand slipped and clattered loudly to the floor.Her eyes widened.“Leila!”Her voice rose sharply, and I shut my eyes for a moment, trying to steady my mind.Before I could say anything, she rushed forward and pulled me into a tight embrace.“Is it a dream?” she said breathlessly against my shoulder. “You came back. You’re so good at surprise

  • The Night Before I Knew Him   Grab her

    ♡Leila♡Everything sounded muffled.Like I was underwater.Voices overlapped in my ears, distant and distorted, as the men rushed around Cain. Someone shouted instructions while others lifted him from the ground. I watched them carry him away in a panic, their movements frantic, desperate.My hands hung uselessly at my sides, the gun already at the floor.My mind refused to process what had just happened.Then my eyes drifted across the room.José.He had already pulled his sister to her feet. Tracy clung to him while he dragged her toward the exit, using the chaos as cover.They were getting away.Before I could even react, a hand suddenly grabbed my arm.“Come here.”Xavi.The firm grip snapped me out of the fog that had swallowed my head.“Xavi—” My voice came out hoarse, my lips trembling as the words struggled to form. “What have I done?”For a moment, the anger burning in his eyes softened into something else.Confusion.He looked at me as if he didn’t know what to say.As if th

  • The Night Before I Knew Him   Because of a man

    ♡Leila ♡I moved forward, not minding their stares.The gun felt heavier than I expected when I snatched it from Cain’s hand.My fingers were shaking.My chest was burning.My eyes were hot, dry, bloodshot.I stepped forward anyway.One step.Two.Everyone went silent.I raised the gun and pointed it straight at her at the girl on the chair, but then I paused and really looked at her.And my breath hitched.No.No… I knew that face.That wasn’t Mary but it wasn’t some stranger.That was Tracy.José’s sister.The clingy girl from the party.The one who kept touching Cain’s arm and wanted to dance with him.Her.She… pushed me?Her?My hand trembled harder.My head spun.Why?“Cain!” José shouted, rushing forward.Before he could reach us, Cain’s men stepped in front of him, guns raised, blocking him.It hit me then.He came alone, just him and his sister.No army or backup.“No, no, no,” José yelled, panicking. “That’s not what we fucking discussed!”“Shut up, José,” Cain snapped.He s
