He's a threat??

"I think you should go back inside now," DK said, standing up. I looked up at him, still trying to process everything. "And Keith, why is he still not showing himself?" I asked, curiosity getting the better of me."Even I don’t know, and I don’t even know his whereabouts," DK replied. "And I don’t know how he even looks like now. All I know is that he’s alive, he has always been. Even Harry thinks he’s dead," he said and I stood up."What really happened?" I asked. "Why did everyone suspect that Kyle was the one who killed his brother? And about the person you said he killed, are you also sure he was the one who killed him?" I asked, a part of me still really not wanting to believe all this.DK turned to look at me and sighed. "I think it’s time for you to..." He paused and then continued, "You know, just stay away from the Prescott family," he said. Well, he didn’t need to tell me

The Answer

“As long as you never tell him to stay, then it’s fine,” Kyle said, picking up another slice of the apple with his fork. His voice was calm, but there was something underneath like a quiet warning. I couldn’t find the words to respond and my throat tightenedThen he stopped chewing, and his eyes slowly lifted to mine, sharp and searching.“Don’t tell me he already asked you... and you told him to stay?” he asked, his tone rising just slightly. My silence was enough of an answer “Oh, damnit, Naina,” he muttered, more to himself than to me. His voice was that of frustration, not just the usual kind, but something deeper, disappointment, maybe even fear.“What?” I snapped, my voice a little higher now. “You all wanted him to leave but why? He just wants to stay, so why can’t he? What’s so wrong with that?”Kyle dropped the fork on t

Taking Control

It looked like an office.There was a desk by the window with a stack of books, a chair, and framed photographs hanging neatly on the wall.. Kyle stepped aside and motioned for me to go in.“Everything you need to understand... starts here,” he said.There was a woman sitting on a leather chair in the far end of the room, glasses perched low on her nose as her eyes scanned a stack of documents. The moment we stepped inside, her head lifted slowly, and her eyes found Kyle. Her lips curved into a soft smile.“Well, look who we have here,” she said,l like she hadn’t seen him in a long time, like his presence brought back something unspoken.She stood up, the papers forgotten, and walked around the desk. She didn’t hesitate snd just pulled Kyle into a hug that felt more than casual. More like someone who once watched him fall apart and now couldn’t help but hold him together, even for a secon

First Love

I think my silence said it all. I didn’t have to answer her question , the way my face froze, the way my eyes gave me away, it was enough. She saw right through me. She knew.I had two moles on the sole of my right foot.And that alone… it confirmed everything DK said. That I was his first love.But… am I?I felt a strange chill crawl down my back, like a memory I couldn’t reach was trying to surface, but it just wouldn’t. How could this be real? How could I be his first love?I watched as Mrs. Jones stood up quietly, walked over to the shelf at the corner of the room. Her fingers trailed lightly across the row of neatly arranged files like she knew exactly what she was looking for. She didn’t rush. She moved with purpose, like this was something she’d been waiting to do.After a few seconds, she pulled one of the files out , thick, slightly worn at the edges. She came bac

A Life Cut Short

Mrs. Jones opened her mouth maybe to say something but before she could, a voice cut through the moment.“Naina.”I flinched.Kyle.How did he get here so fast? Just like a second ago he was with Sofia.I looked down the steps and saw him standing there, looking up at us. Sofia was beside him, The balcony wasn’t high, just five steps down, and I’d be standing right there with them. Right in the middle of everything.“You two done?” Kyle askedI turned back to Mrs. Jones, the heaviness still sitting between us.“Well, we were almost done,” I said, my voice filled with annoyance. “Until you came and ruined it. But I guess we are done now.”And just like that, I turned to leave.Something inside me was shifting. Slowly, painfully and I was walking straight into it.“I’ll be expecting you tomorrow, Miss Naina,” Mrs. Jones said w

The Letter

I looked at the TV one last time, Amy’s face still shining through that screen like she was trying to speak to me from somewhere far away.And then I grabbed my bag and rushed out of the restaurant. I didn’t wait. I couldn’t.I just wanted to breathe.When I stepped outside, I saw Kyle’s secretary standing at the corner like some statue. He glanced at me, but I ignored him. I didn’t care what he thought or what Kyle would say.I waved down the first cab I saw and got in.“Where to, ma’am?” the driver asked.I didn’t even think twice. “Hagh Morgue,” I said quietly.I had seen that name flash on the news, and something in me had known that was where I needed to be.The cab pulled away, and the city moved outside the window, fast and blurry. My mind was just like that, fast and blurry, filled with questions I didn’t know how to ask, filled with pain I di

The Old Picture

I sat on the bench in the park, the late afternoon sun casting soft shadows through the trees. Vivian came back holding two cold drinks. She handed one to me, but I shook my head. I wasn’t thirsty. My throat was tight for any drink .I knew I had to accept itAmy was gone.No matter how much she had done… no matter how deep the betrayal cut… she didn’t deserve this.Death? No. Never that.“It's actually surprising and shocking that Amy would take her own life,” Vivian said as she sat beside me.Of course it is. Because she didn’t. Someone made it look that way.But I couldn’t say that out loud, not yet. Not to her.Vivian turned slightly toward me. “And remember that day at the hospital… the day you……” she paused, hesitating, but I knew what she meant. The day I lost the baby.I nodded slowly, urging her to continue. I h

Faded Memory

“What are you doing here, ma’am?” a voice snapped behind me.Startled, I nearly dropped the photo frame. My fingers trembled as I carefully returned it to its spot, heart racing. I turned slowly.It was the maid.Her eyes were sharp…., less like a servant, more like a gatekeeper. I forced a faint smile.“I—I lost my way,” I lied. A useless excuse. We both knew it.She didn’t say a word, just watched me.I walked out of the room, trying to keep my steps calm, measured, even though inside I was unraveling. I lost my way, I had said and maybe that wasn’t a lie after all.I made my way downstairs, found my bag, and left without another word. I couldn’t face Mrs. Prescott anymore. not like this. Not when my mind was spinning out of control.I stepped out into the daylight, but nothing felt clear.Why was I in that picture?Why couldn’

Fragile Trust

I watched, my vision still slightly blurry, as Kyle leaned in close to DK and said something. I couldn’t hear what he said, but whatever it was, it made DK laugh. Not a real laugh, one of those cold, bitter chuckles that doesn’t reach the eyes. He brought his fingers to the side of his lips, wiped at the blood from where Kyle had punched him, and looked down at it with a kind of amused detachment.Then Kyle turned to me. His eyes softened just a little when they landed on me, but there was still so much tension in his face, like he was holding back more than he could express. He walked over to where Lucas stood by my side, still supporting me.Without a word, Kyle reached for me and to my surprise Lucas didn't fight it he stepped back, letting go of me gently. But as he did, he said in a voice edged with quiet frustration “How long do you think you’ll keep dragging her into your mess?”Ky

By The Pool

Kyle walked toward the door, like he was done,like this whole conversation was over. But just as his hand reached for the knob, he stopped. He stood still for a second, then turned and came back. I didn’t say anything. I just watched him.He sat back down on the bed, beside me. His shoulders dropped a little as if he’d been holding something heavy in.“I have nothing to do with Amy,” he said softly, his voice not defensive, not sharp, just honest. Or it sounded that way.I looked at him, unsure. My chest ached from everything that had happened. My head still throbbed slightly, but I could still feel emotions swirling stronger than any painkiller could dull.“I don’t know anything about the letter,” he went on. “It might be too hard to believe… but I didn’t take it.” His eyes searched mine. “I really didn’t.”I looked at him for a long moment. His face was cal
