Zara dropped the letter the moment she heard a knock. It started off light and polite then it became harder and deliberate.

Zara stood still in the middle of the room, her fingers tightening unconsciously around the edge of the letter she had just read. Her heartbeat picked up, loud enough to fill the silence that had taken over the apartment.

Chloe wouldn’t knock like that not when she had her keys. Another knock followed, sharper than the last. Zara moved slowly, her steps were measured as

  • You Shouldn’t Have Found Me    Chapter 31 — She Didn’t Make It Home

    Chloe noticed it the moment she stepped in. It was way too quite. She closed the door behind her, dropping her bag casually, her eyes scanning the living room. Everything looked the same, nothing was out of place. The letters were still on the kitchen island but Zara wasn’t. Chloe frowned slightly, kicking off her shoes as she moved further inside. “Zara?” she called out, her tone light, expecting a response from the bedroom or the kitchen instead nothing came. She didn’t think much of it, maybe she stepped out or maybe she needed air. Shrugging it off, Chloe walked to her room, grabbing a towel as she headed for the bathroom. Time passed unnoticed, seconds turned to minutes. By the time Chloe stepped out, wrapped in a towel, the apartment had fallen back into that same unsettling silence. Then a phone started ringing, Chloe frowned, stepping out of her room, following the sound until she found it.It was Zara's phone, laying leisurely in the living room. Chloe hesitated for a s

    Zara dropped the letter the moment she heard a knock. It started off light and polite then it became harder and deliberate. Zara stood still in the middle of the room, her fingers tightening unconsciously around the edge of the letter she had just read. Her heartbeat picked up, loud enough to fill the silence that had taken over the apartment. Chloe wouldn’t knock like that not when she had her keys. Another knock followed, sharper than the last. Zara moved slowly, her steps were measured as she made her way toward the living room, her breath uneven despite her effort to control it. She reached the window blind and lifted it just slightly. A man stood outside, his cap pulled low. His features were hidden. Her stomach dropped for a second, she considered stepping back. Ignoring it, pretending she wasn’t home but something in her refused. She was tired of this, tired of the fear, of the feeling that something or someone was always one step ahead of her before she could change her mi

  • You Shouldn’t Have Found Me    Chapter 29 — Stay Away From Her

    Sebastian’s pov Sebastian didn’t slow down as he stepped into his office. He dropped his keys on the table without looking, shrugging off his coat in one smooth motion before reaching for the intercom. “Send Tessa in.” She didn’t take long, Tessa walked in like nothing had happened. Like yesterday hadn’t existed like the chaos, the fight, the humiliation, none of it affected her. “Miss me already?” she said lightly, closing the door behind her. Her tone was playful, her steps slow as she moved further into the room, fingers brushing lightly over the edge of his desk as if she belonged there as if she owned the space. Sebastian didn’t react, neither did he look at her the way she expected. Sebastian didn't indulge her, unmoved he said, “I’m disappointed in you.” Tessa tilted her head slightly, her smile fading gradually. “Disappointed?” she repeated softly. “That’s a strong word.” Sebastian finally looked at her and this time there was no softness in his gaze. “You could have do

    "They were sent in your name, it's anonymous". Everything blurred in an instant. Zara stood there for a second too long, her mind refusing to settle on a single thought. No one in her present life would send anonymous letters. Her appetite vanished instantly. Without thinking twice, she stood up and changed back into her previous clothes, the ones the housekeeper had neatly washed and pressed, folded like nothing chaotic had ever touched them. Booking a cab, she left immediately. The ride felt longer than it was. Every passing second stretched thin, her thoughts spiraling into places she couldn’t control. By the time they arrived, she paid the driver more than necessary, stepping out before he could even return her balance. Zara didn’t wait, She ran. She door opened and was met with silence. This one felt… wrong. “Chloe?” No response. Zara stepped inside slowly, her eyes scanning the living room. Everything was in place nothing looked disturbed. “Chloe!”, she shouted this tim

  • You Shouldn’t Have Found Me    Chapter 27 — Back to Normal?

    Zara woke slowly, like her body wasn’t ready to return to reality. For a few seconds, everything felt unfamiliar. The bed was too soft and comfortable. Her brows pulled together slightly as her eyes adjusted, taking in the room bit by bit, the high ceiling, the muted tones, the quiet elegance that didn’t try too hard but still screamed money. This wasn’t her apartment that realization sat with her for a moment. Then, everything came rushing back. Her fight with tessa, the humiliation, then Sebastian, the things she said and the way he didn't defend himself. Zara exhaled slowly, dragging a hand down her face as if she could wipe the memory away. “Great…” she muttered under her breath. It took a second before another thought hit her, Work. Zara’s eyes widened slightly as she reached for her phone. The screen lit up, she was already late. “Oh my God.” She pushed the covers off immediately, ignoring the dull ache in her body as she stood up, moving quickly to gather her things

    “Where am I?!” She was clearly shaken from her nightmare. “Stop moving,” he said, his voice low, controlled. “You’ll only make it worse.” “Don’t tell me what to do,” she snapped, trying to pull away from him only to wince as the movement sent pain through her body. His hand closed around her wrist, “I said stop.” Her eyes lifted to his and that was when she realized how close he was. Her breath caught as she became aware of everything at once his hand still wrapped around her wrist, his body too close, his eyes fixed on hers like he wasn’t looking away anytime soon. “Let go of me,” she said quietly, her voice firm despite the slight tremble in it. He held her for a second longer then slowly let go, his gaze never leaving hers. “I don’t want to stay here.” Zara pushed herself up from the bed, ignoring the protest from her body. The moment her feet touched the ground, pain shot through her but she didn’t stop. Sebastian moved immediately, his hand caught her arm, steady
