New Life

AaronThe sound of something soft, like muffled footsteps or the creak of a door, pulled me from a deep sleep. My eyes opened slowly, scanning the surroundings, and a sense of unfamiliarity hit me. The bedroom was comfortable, spacious, but it wasn’t mine. For a brief moment, I felt a pang of confusion until the memories of the night before flooded back.A soft smile formed on my lips as I sank back into the pillow.Rebecca.I had found her. And, more importantly, she had accepted giving us a chance. I turned to the side, expecting to see her still lying next to me, but the bed was empty. Worry began to form in my chest, and the fear that everything had been nothing more than a figment of my tired mind hit me like a punch.

The Right Path

AaronI drove Rebecca to the art school, even though I knew her apartment was just a few minutes away. I insisted, and in the end, she accepted, smiling at my determination. The truth was, I wanted to enjoy every possible moment by her side.When we parked, Rebecca turned to me, holding her bag on her lap.“You didn’t have to bring me, Aaron.” Her voice was soft, but there was a glimmer of gratitude in her eyes.“I wanted to.” I replied with a smile. “And I want to do it whenever I can.”She hesitated for a moment, then smiled and leaned in to kiss me lightly.“Thank you,” she said before getting out of the car.

Tormented

AxelWhen Fred left with Kimberly, I reached a point where I did something I never imagined I’d do: I asked Fred to follow her and make sure he found out where she lived. He hesitated at first, maybe thinking I was crossing a line I shouldn’t, but I convinced him, or perhaps pressured him into doing it. Discovering Kimberly’s address seemed like the only way to put an end to my obsession.Once I had the address, I did something even more absurd: I hired someone to keep an eye on her house. Always discreetly, of course. When the reports, complete with videos and photos, arrived, I felt like a damned stalker—something I despised—but I couldn’t stop.For the first few days, her routine seemed simple. She left in the morning and returned in the late afternoon. Occasionally, another woman, who appe

In Danger

KimberlyEverything around me seemed to spin. I could hear voices, but they were distant, muffled as if I were underwater. Pain throbbed in my knee, and my head felt like it was about to explode. I couldn’t understand how everything had happened so fast. The car, the impact, and... Axel. Axel was beside me, his deep voice an anchor trying to pull me back to reality. "Kimberly! Can you hear me? Talk to me!" I opened my eyes slowly and saw his face above mine, his black eyes wide with worry. It was surreal. What was he doing here? And why did he seem so desperate?

A Friend’s Warning?

RebeccaAs soon as I opened the door to my apartment, I expected to find the same quiet, cozy space I had left that morning. Instead, I nearly dropped my bag to the floor when I saw Eric sitting on the couch, his posture casual, but his gaze sending a chill down my spine.“Eric?” I gasped, my hand instinctively going to my stomach. The shock made my heart race.He lifted his eyes to me as if my reaction were an exaggeration.“Good afternoon, Rebecca,” he said, his tone almost indifferent.I closed the door carefully, still trying to make sense of what was happening.“What are you doing here? How did you get in?” I asked, my voice laced with disbelief.

Driven by Emotion

AxelToday's training was a waste of time. From the first warm-up, I knew I wouldn’t be able to perform. My thoughts were elsewhere—or rather, on someone else. Every missed kick, every play I let slip by only added to my frustration. The coach even asked what was going on, but there was no way to explain. Not there, in front of everyone. So I just shook my head, muttered some excuse, and got back on the field.When we were finally dismissed, I didn’t waste a second. In the locker room, I took a quick shower, barely paying attention to the guys talking around me. It wasn’t like other days when I tried to fit in, make conversation, and laugh at their jokes. Today, I just wanted to get away from it all.As soon as I got into the car, I didn’t wait for Fred to start the engine.

Dismissed by Her

AxelHer question hit me like a punch. It was something I had been trying to understand ever since I saw her almost get run over. I sighed, running a hand through my hair, searching for the right words.“I don’t know, Kimberly. I can’t explain it.” My voice sounded more honest than I expected. “All I know is that since I met you, something in me… changed.”She narrowed her eyes, as if trying to read between the lines of what I was saying.“Does this have to do with the woman you mistook me for the first time?” Her question was direct, and I felt a knot form in my stomach. “Priscila, isn’t it?”Kimberly was perceptive. I didn’t know if that was a good or bad thing at tha

Just Happiness

AaronBeing with Rebecca brought me a kind of happiness I had never imagined possible. Every moment with her felt both simple and extraordinary. It wasn’t just about the words we shared or the gestures of affection—it was about the peace she brought.My routine had changed completely, and I loved it. Our mornings began together, sharing a simple breakfast that felt like a feast just because of her presence. Then, I would take her to the art school before dedicating the rest of my day to Baumann. And even there, where problems usually overwhelmed me, nothing seemed capable of affecting me.When I returned to the apartment, her smile as she opened the door made me forget any frustration. I felt light, as if nothing else mattered beyond that moment. It was so different from everything I had experienced before, especially with Pa

Comfortable Routine

RebeccaI was sitting on Aaron’s lap, and the warmth of his body seemed to melt into mine. I looked at him, a nearly surreal happiness filling me. I never imagined this moment would happen. That Aaron would choose to stay by my side, leaving behind a life built on appearances and expectations.Still, happiness came with a shadow. I knew that, in some way, I had contributed to the end of his marriage. Even though Aaron had told me that Paolla was never truly a loving or devoted wife, guilt still crept in during quiet moments. But it was impossible not to love Aaron—not to want to be with him.“How was your day?” he asked, breaking the comfortable silence that had settled between us.I smiled, trying to shake the clouds from my mind, and started talking about my classes

A New Plan

PaollaI was pacing across the living room of Eric’s apartment, my heels echoing against the hardwood floor while he remained seated on the couch, watching me with an annoyed expression.“You failed, Eric!” I snapped, turning to face him. “If you had done a decent job, that girl would’ve already walked away from Aaron.”He sighed, running a hand through his hair in an exaggerated gesture of exasperation. “Paolla, you can’t put all the blame on me.” His voice was laced with sarcasm. “Maybe if you had done something to keep Aaron around, he wouldn’t have run straight into her arms.”My anger boiled like a pot about to spill over.
