DELILAH’S POVThe dark forest under the hidden moonlight looked like a deep endless tunnel. My naked feet scrambled over the dried twigs and branches, crunching under my weight, as I ran. I ran as fast as I could. I could feel the thudding of my heart, and the fear whirlpooling inside me. Short and frequent breaths filtered in, as I constrained my eyes solely on the pathless way in front. Don’t look back.Do not dare to look back.Facing your death is the greatest fear of a being, even who thinks themselves as mighty as Hercules. Death brings them all to their knees, and what’s more fearful was experiencing your death chasing you. I could feel my feet wet and burning, realizing I must be bleeding but that is the least of my concern now. I never dared to look behind me. My legs burned, lungs exhausted to supply any more breaths but I didn’t stop. For I know, once stopped, I would never see tomorrow’s sun again.The sound of the crunching of dried leaves, twigs, and branches echoed in t

Damien's POVLife was exhausting.I adjusted the gear, driving down the highways at the break of dawn. Last night was immensely tiring. From attending meetings to business parties, takes up the entire resting time I get to help me go. Nothing was exciting about those parties except for the wine and dining.Escalating the speed more, I passed the highways and entered the broad road through the forest. Tall trees lined up on both sides. I rolled down my windows breathing in the fresh, cool air of the morning. Living in the tall-storeyed building you cannot enjoy the peace offered here.

He had always been a diligent worker, and are those who know how to handle their work well and fine. It’s been like five years since he had held this p

DAMIEN'S POV“I'm sorry, Grams.” I didn’t know how many times I repeated myself but she was adamant not to forgive me.“En, I’m not going to hear any apologies. Why couldn’t you visit me this weekend?” I almost groaned, repeating the same words again and again.“I told you, I had an important meeting.” She scoffed from the other side, and I could already imagine her rolling her eyes. I took a seat on the bench, cracking my shoulder muscles, feeling the relaxation trickling in.“Enough of your excuses.” She spoke still angry while a sigh left my lips.“I’m sorry, Grams. I will visit this weekend.” I had never asked for sorry as much as I’m doing now. Well, it’s Grams after all. I don’t know how to pacify her.“I will be visiting you this time, and I also want to meet your girlfriend.”What the fuck!“Grams from where are you getting this? I’m not with someone.” I groaned massaging my temple. From where was she getting all these weird ideas.“I don’t know. I asked you for so long to loo
