LIANA

The whole ride home, I kept touching my lips like I could still feel him there. My heart would not slow down. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw his face getting closer, felt his hand on my waist, and my whole body remembered that kiss like it was still happening right that second.

I knew I looked different. I could feel it. My cheeks were warm and my lips felt swollen and my brain kept replaying the same three seconds over and over again like a song stuck on repeat.

But under all that ha

  • Trapped Between Two Devils    The test

    LIANAI don't know exactly when the idea came into my head, but once it did, I could not stop thinking about it.I wanted to test him.It felt wrong even as I planned it, like I was doing something sneaky behind his back, but a small voice inside me kept whispering that I needed to know. I needed to understand how deep this thing went, this strange way Kane always seemed to know things about my life that I had never actually told him.So that evening, when he texted asking about my plans, I typed out a lie.>**Going to study at the café on Fifth Street tonight. Big test coming up.**He replied almost instantly.>**Good luck. Let me know if you need anything.**My stomach twisted with guilt as I hit send on a simple thumbs up. Because the truth was, I was not going to the café on Fifth Street at all. Jess had texted me an hour earlier asking if I wanted to study at the little café near her apartment instead, the one with the good muffins, and I had said yes without thinking twice. I di

  • Trapped Between Two Devils    The black sedan

    LIANAThe first time I saw the black sedan, I did not think anything of it at all.It was parked outside my apartment building, just sitting there with its engine off, windows tinted so dark I could not see who was inside. I remember glancing at it for a second before shrugging it off. Cars parked on our street all the time. Someone was probably visiting a neighbor, or waiting for their girlfriend to come downstairs, or just taking a nap before their next shift at work. There was nothing strange about a parked car. I told myself that and kept walking.The second time I saw it, though, something small pinched in the back of my mind.I was leaving the coffee shop near campus, the one I always went to after my afternoon classes, holding my cup with both hands to keep them warm. And there it was again. Same black sedan. Same tinted windows. Parked across the street like it belonged there, like it was just another car in a city full of cars.I stood on the sidewalk for a second longer than

  • Trapped Between Two Devils    Questions

    LIANAI sat across from Kane at the small café near my campus, stirring my coffee slowly while I talked about my upcoming project. The afternoon sun came through the window and made everything look warm and golden, and for a moment I almost forgot to mention the thing I had been putting off saying all day."Oh, by the way," I said, trying to sound casual, "I'm going to the library tonight with Marcus. We have to finish our project for economics class."Kane's hand paused around his cup for just a second. It was such a small movement that I almost missed it. But I noticed. I always noticed the little things about him now."Marcus," Kane repeated slowly, like he was tasting the name."Yeah, he's in my class," I said, still stirring my coffee."What's his last name?"I looked up, surprised. "What?""His last name," Kane said again, calmly, like it was a completely normal question to ask."Um, Bennett, I think. Why does that matter?"Kane leaned back in his chair, his eyes steady on my fa

Every time I closed my eyes, I saw his face getting closer, felt his hand on my waist, and my whole body remembered that kiss like it was still happening right that second.I knew I looked different. I could feel it. My cheeks were warm and my lips felt swollen and my brain kept replaying the same three seconds over and over again like a song stuck on repeat.But under all that happiness, there was a heavy rock sitting in my stomach.I had lied to my mom.I had never lied to her like that before. Not a real lie. Not a whole night of pretending. And now I had to walk into our apartment and act like nothing had happened, like I had spent the night listening to Jess cry about her boyfriend instead of sitting on a rooftop with the most dangerous man in the city.When I finally opened the front door, the lights were still on.My stomach dropped.Mom was sitting on the couch w

  • Trapped Between Two Devils    The perfect date

    LIANAI spent almost an hour standing in front of my closet trying to decide what to wear.Which was ridiculous.It was just dinner.Not a wedding.Not a proposal.Just dinner with a man I barely knew.So why was my heart beating this hard?I pulled out three different outfits before finally settling on a simple black dress that hugged my waist softly. Nothing too dramatic.Still, when I looked at myself in the mirror, I barely recognized the girl staring back at me.Nervous.Excited.Terrified.Behind my bedroom door, I could hear my mother moving around the apartment kitchen. Ever since Kane entered our lives, the tension between us had become unbearable. She watched me constantly now, like she was waiting for something terrible to happen.And maybe that was why guilt twisted in my stomach as I grabbed my purse.Because I was lying to her.I walked into the kitchen trying to act normal. “Jess asked me to stay over tonight.”Mom looked up immediately from her tea. “On a Thursday?”“S

  • Trapped Between Two Devils    Obsession begins

    LIANAMy heart was still pounding from Kane’s question when my mother suddenly grabbed my arm tightly.“We’re leaving,” she said quickly.“Mom—”“Now, Liana.”Her voice left no room for argument.I looked back at Kane, embarrassed by how aggressively she was dragging me away from him in front of the police officers. But Kane didn’t seem offended. He simply stood there calmly, watching me with those dark unreadable eyes.“I’ll see you again,” he said quietly.Something about the way he said it sent a strange shiver down my spine.Rain still poured heavily onto the empty streets as we hurried toward our old car parked across the road. The second we got inside, she locked the doors immediately with shaking hands.I stared at her in disbelief. “What is wrong with you?”She gripped the steering wheel tightly without looking at me. “You are staying away from that man.”“Why?”“Because I said so.”I let out a frustrated laugh. “Mom, that’s not an answer.”“He’s dangerous.”“How? He literally
