Reckless

Racheal’s fingers tightened on the wheel as she pulled onto the main road, her heart still racing. The van with Olivia had long vanished from sight, swallowed by the city, but the image of it driving away replayed in her mind like a favorite scene from a film. Finally. Olivia would be out of her life. And for good. Her phone beeped. A message from an unknown number lit up the screen. 'Good job' A shaky sigh slipped from her lips. They’d kept their word, at least so far. The person behind that message had forced her hand, blackmailing her into delivering Olivia to that destination. In exchange, they’d promised her scandalous video would remain buried. Now that it was done, a cold fear began to gnaw at the edges of her satisfaction. What would happen to Olivia now? Would she come back at all? If she was harmed… Christopher would not sit still. He would search, investigate, and peel back every layer until he found the truth. And what if that truth led straight to her? She h

All That Mattered

Olivia's heart hammered in her chest as the lock clicked open. Hide and seek. He wasn't joking. If he won, she'd die. Her heart pounded so loudly she wondered if he could hear it too. What kind of monster plays with someone’s life like this? The thought chilled her, but there was no time to linger on it. She wanted to scream, to demand he stop, but the sound never made it past her lips. Her legs felt weak, heavy, as though they already knew what her fate would be. But beneath the fear, something stirred.. anger. He expected her to crumble. He wanted her terrified. But she couldn’t let him have that. She reminded herself she had no choice. She had to move. Every second mattered. If she froze, if she faltered, she was already lost. He was faster, stronger, smarter. The only advantage she had was that he thought she would panic. Her eyes scanned the room, desperate. The walls, the corners.. everything became a question of survival. Where could she hide? How could she delay the in

Rescued

They ran together out of the forest, Olivia’s heart leaping in her chest. Once again, Christopher had shown up right on time to save her. Branches whipped past as they pushed forward, and it took nearly ten minutes before they finally broke free of the trees and spotted the road ahead. Christopher’s car was parked just a short distance away. “Get in!” he said sharply, urgency in his voice. Olivia didn’t hesitate. She sprinted to the car, sliding into the passenger seat while Christopher hurried in after her and started the engine. The tires screeched against the gravel as he pulled away. “What happened?” His voice was tense, his eyes flicking between her and the road. “Why... how did you leave the mansion?” "I needed some air, so I left," she confessed, though she left out Racheal’s part. She didn’t know if Racheal was behind this, and there was no point throwing baseless accusations. The masked man was the one who dragged her into this, and he wasn’t Racheal. "Air, you say?

Much Different

Olivia straightened, curiosity biting at her. Her mind wandered. Christopher was a very serious man who rarely made jokes. But there were rare moments when he carried an extra weight in his tone, a heaviness that warned her he was about to reveal something important. This was one of those moments. Her pulse quickened. "I'm all ears," she said softly, bracing herself. "What's the matter?" Christopher’s jaw tightened, as though the words themselves resisted leaving his mouth. "I know this might sound crazy," he began slowly, his voice dropping lower. "But… I’m seeing things." Her brows knitted. "What do you mean, things?" His gaze flickered, like he was chasing after something just out of reach. "I think they’re glimpses… pieces of something from the past," he admitted, confusion clouding his features. "Yet… I don’t remember ever living any of it." Olivia’s stomach turned uneasily. Glimpses of a past he didn’t remember? What did that even mean? "Do you remember what exactly

Everything Falls Apart

Racheal woke with a groggy yawn, her eyes squinting against the stream of morning light spilling through the curtains. She pushed herself upright, her limbs heavy, her body sluggish.. until the reminder hit her. The thing inside her. Her hand drifted to her stomach, a dull weight pressing beneath her palm. The breath she let out was sharp, almost bitter. Every day that passed meant the baby grew stronger, older, and the thought made her skin prickle. She needed it gone. She needed Olivia gone.. out of Christopher’s life, out of their way and— Olivia. The name jolted through her mind, her heart skipping a beat. Where was Olivia? Had they found her? A sick twist of nausea rose in her throat as panic clawed its way up. She threw the sheets off and stumbled into the hall. She needed answers. Nathan? No. Nathan was a wall of shadows, impossible to read, his words and smiles were always a trap. But Christopher… yes, Christopher. His face, his voice, his body language, he would give

Blowing Out You

Olivia lay sprawled across her bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. Her phone had died hours ago, but she hadn’t bothered plugging it back in. What was the use? Sophia’s words still echoed in her mind. Christopher had been different when he was younger, Sophia had said, but she hadn’t explained how. Different could mean a thousand things. Had he been kinder? Wilder? Broken? The lack of clarity gnawed at Olivia, leaving her restless. She pressed her palms against her face, sighing. She wanted to help him. God, she really wanted to. She could see the cracks in him already. His mental health was slipping, and if he collapsed completely, everything would fall apart with him. And then there was her brother. Christopher had insisted his condition was the reason for his actions in the courtroom. Whether Olivia believed that or not, one thing was certain... the sooner Christopher found stability, the sooner her brother could walk free. It all came back to him. Christopher Brooks. Sh
