LOGINA Sweet EndingA year had passed since the day I stood in the university courtyard, holding my graduation cap, unable to believe that everything was over. Back then, I thought my journey was only beginningāand I was right. I simply couldnāt have imagined how far that road would take me.After the ceremony, Dante and I decided it was time for a break. We both needed rest, distance, a chance to turn a new page in our lives.During that year, countries blended into one another like pages of a book. Cities unfolded before meāsome loud, some quiet, some bursting with color, others filled with an emptiness that left questions behind. I chose to follow my inspiration and began to write. I wrote everywhere: on trains, on hotel balconies, in bed while Dante slept beside me, in cafĆ©s where no one understood my language, yet somehow understood my silence. I was writing a story I hoped would inspire many women. Some of my muses were simple strangersāa girl selling flowers outside a cafĆ©, an old m
: FamilyWhen I opened my eyes, I was wrapped in Danteās arms.Last night had been unexpected and beautiful. I studied his sleeping face; his black hair was tousled. Slowly, I lifted my hand and slid my fingers into it. I didnāt want to wake him. I touched him gently, carefully.āMmm.āI flinched at the sound of his deep voice and froze.āWhy did you stop?ā he asked, his eyes still closed.āDid I wake you?āHe nodded and smiled.āYouāre very good at pretending to sleep.āāIf I hadnāt pretended, I wouldnāt have known how much you like it when you touch my hair.āāInteresting,ā I murmured softly. āAnd wāHmā¦ā He thought for a moment, then moved above me, coming so close that our lips were almost touching.āA lot of things. Kissing you. Breathing in your scent. Touching your hair. Feeling you. And very, very many dirty things I havenāt tried yet.āI stared at him in surprise, not even knowing how to respond.He laughed softly and kissed meāhard, but not rough. Our lips moved together in
Where My Heart Belongs.....And so, this day has finally come. Tomorrow I graduate from university and take one step closer to fulfilling my dream.I know itās going to be an emotional day, and Iām a little nervous. Amelia has been sending messages in our group chat since morningātoday is officially our last lecture, and tomorrow the graduation ceremony takes place. I packed my bag, and Dante drove me to the university.āIf you need anything, call me, okay?āāOkay.āI kissed him goodbye and got out of the car. Our relationship is in a very romantic phaseāsometimes we argue over small things like an old married couple, other times we fall asleep wrapped in each otherās arms. But overall, everything between us is wonderful.Before entering the lecture hall, I saw the others. Amelia was so emotional she couldnāt hold back her tears. Lily could hardly wait to receive the diploma she had worked so hard for. Noah and I were simply trying to calm Amelia down.As soon as the lecture began, o
Threads of a New LifeAfter the gallery, Dante took me to the restaurant where his old friend works as a chef. He had prepared lapsha just for me, and I can honestly say that Iāve never had anything as delicious since Nanaās cooking.I was so hungry that I devoured everything they brought. I could see Dante trying not to laugh, but I didnāt pay him any attentionāthe food was far too good.While we were sitting in the restaurant, we talked a lot about my plans after universityāwhere I intended to work, what I wanted to do. He asked about every little detail, even things I hadnāt thought about yet. He asked if I wanted to go somewhere after graduation. Back then, I was thinking about running away, but now everything was different. I no longer had to rush; I could take a year off, explore places, and simply enjoy life. I loved the idea so much that I thought about it all night, until my eyes grew heavy with sleep.āBaby, if you donāt wake up, weāll be late.āāHmm⦠just a little longerā¦ā
The Lady of ShalottThe next morning, when I opened my eyes, I was lying in my bed. I immediately got up and went to the living room. Dante was standing in the kitchen, a cup of coffee in his hand.āGood morning,ā he said, leaning against the counter with a smile, though he didnāt take his eyes off me.āGood morning,ā I replied.āHeading to university?āāYes, but I need to get ready first.āāDonāt rush, Iāll drive you.āāOkay.ā I turned around, then remembered that he had planned to shower last night. āYou were going to take a shower last night. Do you want me to bring you a towel?āāI already showered this morning.āāItās still morning.āāI meant six a.m., itās ten now.āāDo you always wake up this early?āāYes.āāWhy so early? Youāre not the boss. We wonāt be late anywhere.āHe chuckled, set his coffee down, and walked toward me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close.āIām not a sleepyhead like you,ā he said, gently kissing my forehead. āNow go get ready.āI went b
Breath Between UsI was freezing, searching for a blanket that wasnāt anywhere to be found. When I opened my eyes, I couldnāt see a thing. Panicked, I scrambled to find the lamp to turn on the light, but it wasnāt there. I wasnāt in my bedāI was lying on the cold floor, where the chill was unbearable and darkness surrounded me.Suddenly, out of the darkness, my father appeared.āItās your fault,ā he growled. He looked terrifying, more than I had ever seen him. His hands gripped my neck tightly.āItās your fault!ā he shouted. I struggled against him, but his hold was too strong.Then, someone grabbed him from behind and threw him into the shadows. I gasped, barely able to breathe, my lungs burning for air. When I felt a hand on my shoulder, I looked up, hoping it was Danteābut it wasnāt. I scrambled to my feet and screamed.āItās your fault!ā Liam approached, his hands reaching for my neck. He tried to touch me, to⦠I couldnāt stop yelling, hitting him as hard as I could. I felt powerf
:Words that breaks our hearts That evening, I told Otto that I got married, but I didn't tell him everything. Otto doesn't know that my father abuses me, so I had to lie. I told him that the marriage was arranged, but before that, Dante and I knew each other. Otto even asked if I was forced into m
:Scars of the past Today, the cafĆ© wasn't busy ā we barely had any customers. I started cleaning the tables again because I hate days like this. Time passes painfully slow, and it's unbearable.While wiping one of the tables, I heard the door open. I immediately looked up, hoping for another custo

:The dark side of the pastTwo weeks later, the pain had subsided, and the bruises were no longer as noticeable. Amelia had told my professors that I wasn't feeling well, and the girls came every day to treat my wounds. Sometimes they even stayed a little longer.Since that night, I hadn't gone dow
