:Chocolate cake

Two months have passed since Dante almost killed me. Since that day, we haven't spoken to each other — more than that, we haven't even looked at each other. He always comes home late, sometimes doesn't come at all. He recently returned from Italy, where he had been for two weeks. I haven't felt this good in a long time — free.

It's true that Diego follows me everywhere, but I barely even notice him. I go wherever I want, stay with the girls whenever I want. After university, I work at the café, and I visit Margaret quite often. She and Lorenzo are very kind. It hurts to lie to them, but I have no choice. Margaret has taken a liking to Lily and Amelia — she talks about them all the time. We've even been shopping together a couple of times.

I haven't spoken to my father in almost two months. He hasn't called me, which makes me happier than anything. I hope he'll forget about my existence altogether.

Today, the café was packed. The streets were already freezing, and peop

    Broken SoulsEvelineAs soon as I woke up, I got ready and went to see John — it was finally time to have the cast removed from my hand.“Did you miss me?” I teased as I entered.John flinched at the sound of my voice and turned around sharply. He looked startled — almost frightened.“What are you doing here?”I frowned.“What do you mean, what am I doing here? You told me to come — it’s time to remove the cast. Don’t you remember?”“Oh… right,” he muttered, slapping his forehead lightly, forcing a nervous laugh.“What’s wrong?”“Nothing. Why would anything be wrong?”“John, something happened. Tell me. Are you in some kind of trouble?”“No,” he said quickly, but avoided my eyes. I stepped closer.“Look at me, John. What happened?”“Last night…” He hesitated, searching for the right words. “Last night, your husband was here. He asked about you. I’m sorry — I didn’t want to tell him, but he’s dangerous, Eveline. He’s… terrifying. I know you don’t tell him everything, but—”My breath ca

    The Truth Unveiled:DanteI spent the entire night in my office. I thought burying myself in work would distract me, but it didn’t. Eveline’s words wouldn’t leave my head for a second.She’s living alone now, and I have no damn idea what to do about it. Even though my men are watching her house non-stop, the thought of her being alone keeps eating me alive.I got up and went downstairs to clear my head. I thought maybe if I threw myself into work, I’d finally stop thinking about her. But before I could leave, Enzo walked through the door.“Where are you going?”“To the office.”“You said you wanted to talk. Hold on—what the hell happened to your forehead? You were fine last night.”“We’ll talk in the car.”I walked out and got into his car.“Where’s your car?”“I smashed it.”“You what?”“I crashed it.”“When? Where?” He looked at me like I’d lost my mind. “What the hell is going on with you lately?”“I don’t know. And that’s what pisses me off the most. I can’t focus on anything when

    Between Laughter and SilenceAfter the café, we went back to the university and attended the remaining lectures. I hated the idea of going into Davis’s class, but I had no choice. It was my final year, and I had to do everything I could to finish with high grades.After lectures, I went straight home to pack my things. I also needed to talk to Margaret and Lorenzo. When I arrived, Dante and Enzo were there too. Great — now I’d have to say everything in front of all four of them, especially since Noah and the girls would be here soon.As soon as they noticed me, I walked toward them. All four of them were watching me, which only made it harder to speak, but time was running out.“I just wanted to thank you for letting me stay here, and for treating me like your own,” I said. Dante’s eyes were fixed on me — he knew exactly what I was about to say. “But it’s time for me to leave. I really appreciate everything you’ve done. I don’t even know how to repay your kindness.”Margaret stood up

    The Matter of Time– “With you, for the first time, I felt what it truly means to be calm… to be safe,” she whispered, as if the words had been trapped inside her for far too long.Something inside me shifted at her confession.“With you, for the first time, I felt what it truly means to be calm and safe.”I didn’t understand what she meant.“But you destroyed everything, Dante.” Her voice trembled with a fragile laugh, sharp as a wound. “You showed me what peace could feel like… and then you took it away.”Her words cut deep, awakening a soundless roar inside my chest. I tried to speak, but the words got stuck in my throat. I hadn’t realized she had never felt safe—until me.“What do you mean?” was all I managed to say.She shook her head and turned away.“Nothing.”She took a step to leave, but I caught her hand, stopping her.“Eveline, what do you mean? Before me… you didn’t feel safe? Why? Tell me.”Her eyes met mine, tired and hollow. She pulled her hand free.“When I begged you

    Too Late?I couldn’t sleep a wink all night. As soon as the sun rose, I headed to the bathroom, got ready, and called a taxi. The moment it arrived, I got into the black car and went to the university. My first lecture was with Mr. Davis. No matter how much I hated seeing him, I had to ignore him. All through the lecture, those words kept replaying in my head.As soon as the lecture ended, I barely had time to stand when he appeared next to me.“Are you okay, Miss Adams?” His gaze shifted to my hand. I looked at him seriously and calmly said I was fine, but he didn’t move from his spot.“I was worried about you… you haven’t shown up all this time. Is everything alright at the university?”Annoyance was now written all over my face, which made him stop smiling.“There’s no need to worry about me. I’m fine. Now, if you don’t mind, I need to head to my next class.”I tried to walk away, but he didn’t move. He was staring into my eyes, and suddenly a shiver ran down my spine. I felt fear—

    No Longer Silent“Eveline, dear, wait,” she said, approaching. “We were waiting for you. We sat down without you, but we can call someone to make you something to eat.”“What time is it?” I asked, my voice shaky, disoriented. I couldn’t even process what I was doing. Margaret looked at me, concern in her eyes.“Ten o’clock, dear,” she said softly, stepping closer. “Are you alright?”“I… I’m fine,” I stammered, words failing me. “I just need to rest.”I felt warmth spreading through my neck, weakness in my legs. Pain slowly crept over my whole body. Margaret touched my shoulder gently, but behind her, I saw Dante watching. He took a step forward, and I instinctively stepped back.“I… I have to go,” I whispered, turning toward the stairs. I grabbed some pills from the drawer and took them quickly. My body trembled, my legs gave way, and I sank to the floor beside the bed, struggling to breathe. Every inhale burned. I tried moving to the balcony for air, but I could barely stand, only ma
