Confessed

I hadn’t expected Cam to be so open about her feelings. We had been through a lot together, and I could see the depth of her emotions. But when she said she was serious about marrying me, something clicked inside me. It felt surreal, almost like a dream I never thought would come true. But here she was, standing in front of me, her eyes brimming with sincerity.We were sitting in the quiet corner of my apartment, the city lights casting soft shadows through the windows. It had been a long day, and I had hoped for a peaceful evening, just the two of us. The air between us had been thick with unspoken thoughts, but now she was sharing them, and it felt like a weight had been lifted.“You know I’m serious about this, right?” she said, her voice low but firm. “I’m not just saying it because it sounds nice or because we’ve been together for a while. I want this. I want us. And I want you to know that you’ll always have me.”I watched her carefully, trying to gauge if she was speaking from

Maria

I had expected to find Lev in his usual spot, but when I walked into his apartment, something was off. The air was thick with the kind of stillness that made everything feel too quiet. As my eyes adjusted to the dim lighting, I spotted him slumped on the couch. His long, lean body was sprawled out carelessly, his face a twisted mess of exhaustion. I hadn’t seen him in this state before—not like this, not so vulnerable. Normally, Lev carried himself with a quiet intensity, the kind of composure that radiated control, a carefully cultivated aura that made him untouchable. But now, he looked like any other man—tired, drained, and utterly spent.He had always been the kind of person who gave everything and expected nothing in return. He was ruthless when it came to business, driven by a need to maintain his empire, yet there was a part of him that I had never quite understood. It was buried deep, hidden beneath layers of guarded walls. But that wall was crumbling now, and I could see it

Lev

The darkness of the room felt suffocating, and the sharp click of the briefcase being shut echoed like a signal in the night. There was no need for words anymore; the transaction was complete. The exchange had been made. He was being paid. Cash, thick stacks of it, filled the briefcase, and the man taking it barely acknowledged the recipient’s presence. It wasn’t a new game, not for him. In fact, this job wasn’t even the most complicated, or the most dangerous, but it was certainly the most important. He stood there, his eyes cold and impassive, taking in the finality of the situation. The man he had been hired to kill would never know what was coming. That was always the way it went. Some faces were erased from the world without a second thought, their stories ending abruptly, like a page torn from a book. The assassin moved with precision, each step purposeful, the corners of his mouth barely twitching in a semblance of satisfaction as he adjusted the weight of the briefcase unde

Alois

I had never seen her like that before.The words kept repeating themselves in my mind as I paced back and forth in my living room. She had been furious, a whirlwind of emotion, and everything I had done seemed to push her further into that storm. But that wasn't the worst of it. No, the worst was how my mind kept drifting back to the one thing I could never unsee.Her.Naked.I winced as the image flashed in my head again, followed by the memory of her anger. I could almost still hear her yelling, her voice fierce as she hurled things at me—vases, books, whatever she could get her hands on. It didn't make sense. What had started as a quiet conversation had spiraled out of control so fast that I couldn't keep up. I had no idea why she was so upset with me, but it didn't help that I couldn't tear my eyes away from the way her body moved. I was trying to focus on her words, to apologize, to do whatever it would take to make things right. But her beauty... her nakedness... It was overwhe

Fall in love

Konrad sat perched on the edge of the wooden bench in the garden. He couldn’t focus. Again and again, His mind went back to the moment; he could not think straight. That he had seen Camilla—his girlfriend—naked was not enough; what was terrible was the feelings that followed it. The shock, the guilt, and something further that was more ominous that he couldn’t place a name to.Camilla wasn’t just anyone. She was the woman he was in love with, or so he thought, the woman he respected, the woman he was open with. However, the man was provoked into saying something he did not know he was capable of confessing in this period of utter anguish and helplessness.He hadn’t intended on walking into the room like that. The door had been half opened and he believed she was not there. However, as soon as he entered, everything stopped and so did he. So there she was, standing by the bed, changing. The surprised look in the widened pupils of her eyes was as much a replica of his as she frantically

Someone's love

Camilla twirled the flared fabric of the gown she wore and glanced at the dressing table as the sounds of voices talking faintly reached out from behind the walls. The weather was hot and uncomfortable at that time of the evening and she couldn’t disassociate the uncomfortable feeling to whether it was caused by the room or the tension. At the other end of the room, Konrad sank against the casement, his back rigid, his fixed stare travelling through window glass to the horticultural plots far below.She looked at him for a while – the way his jaw clenched and the look of distant focus in his eyes. He had known that he had been grumpy about the engagement—it was his father’s engagement to be precise—But Konrad had never been one to express how he felt in articulate terms.The only time he did was when he saw her naked.“Don’t tell me you’re intending on moping through the entire evening, we're getting engaged.” Camilla remarked in a tone that was bright, but her eyes giving her a pseud

Scream

The celebration was starting to die down. The lights were still twinkling in enormous crystal chandeliers adorning the room, theμmuisc continued to fill the air and most of the guests still stood around their wine glasses, but the mood was different. People became more reserved and there were few smiles left; Lex, the ever perfect host, was bowing down to the last congratulations.Camilla and Konrad were finally engaged.Camilla sighed deeply when she stopped next to the base of the grand stairs; the cold stone of the banister under her thick glove echoed the coolness of the night’s confusion. The weight of Alois’s stares were like a feeling of itch which she could not scratch as she wanted. For the last one hour she had stayed clear of him, or rather it had not been easy at all.By her side, Konrad sat morose and morose, a man at odds with a partying crowd that was even now streaming through the doors. He had not uttered a sound since his father loudly boomed out the happy news, thou

Shadows in the Hall

Camilla opened her eyes to see the outline of her room reflected in a very low light. For a moment she did not know her location and her ideas were vague and confused. This is because the bed’s soft pressure felt strange underneath her; the surrounding air was too quiet, and heavy.Then a hundred memories flooded in on her.The assassin. Konrad.She could feel a pounding in her chest as if her heart was trying to escape, the room was spinning as she rushed to sit up. A brisk pain pulsated, deep below her head and reaching for her neck, so she gasped, touching the zone. The crash of thoughts whirled in her head, forming thoughts of the shadow in the hall, the blow that was dealt and the blackness that followed it.Konrad.Where was he?A jolt of panic rose up through her breastbone as she thought through the options. Has the assassin killed his target yet? Was Konrad lying lifeless in his room while she had been left to wake here, not even realizing how useless she was?No.She was una

A Promise in Shadows

Konrad and Camilla stared at each other and around her there was tension that words did not express. The light which was coming from the lamp was too low. They cast long shadows on the wall as if the danger was reflecting on them. Camilla’s heart pounded, and her breath quickened as Konrad approached her cautiously; his actions slow but for the grimace on his face.“You need to go,” he whispered and the tone of his voice was unemotional, calm.Camilla blinked and all the confusion was drowning her face. “What?”Konrad’s jaw tightened. “Go to my father. Stay with Lev. His security will protect you,” he continued while pointing at the painting.“No,” she breathed out softly, raising her head slightly upward. “I am not leaving you here alone,”Her words are still here in the room like a beam of despair. She did not understand why she wanted this—why her heart was painful and why she shivered every time thinking that he would be injured once more. It did not align with her schedule, her m
