~Elena~Natalie sat at the desk while I went to fetch the novel Mr. Richard was reading. I picked it up and took long strides back to the desk. In my bag, I had the letter I had already prepared, neatly folded. I pulled it out and unfolded it, staring at it.I wanted to be sure whether I wanted to add or subtract something from it.“That’s it?” Natalie asked, and I nodded. I was about to fold it again when she spoke up. “Can I read it?” she asked, and I raised my head to look at her. “I mean, that’s if you want me to see it,” she quickly added when she noticed my hesitation.“It’s fine,” I smiled as I passed the paper to her.“Really?” Her brows lifted. “Are you sure?” she asked again.“Mm hm,” I nodded.She grinned excitedly as she took it from me. She began to read aloud, but in a very low tone.“I don’t know if I should even be writing to you after what happened. But I can’t pretend I don’t miss you badly. This past week has been torture. I close my eyes and all I see is you and al

Hidden place

~Elena~My phone buzzed while we were still standing beneath the café awning, the kind of late-afternoon quiet settling around us that made even the street feel suspended in time. I hadn’t realized how tightly I’d been holding myself together until Natalie suddenly stopped moving beside me, her entire body going still like she already knew what I was about to see.“Don’t tell me,” she whispered, her voice barely audible.I didn’t answer her. I was already pulling my phone from my bag, my fingers slightly unsteady as my eyes dropped to the screen.That was all.No words. No explanation. Just the book emoji paired with a heart, simple and restrained in the way only he ever was, and yet it hit me harder than any paragraph could have. For a moment, I forgot how to breathe, my chest warming as something deep and fragile inside me loosened its grip.“Oh my God,” Natalie breathed, grabbing my arm. “He answered.”I nodded slowly, staring at the screen like it might disappear if I blinked too

The cottage

~Mr. Richard~I avoided the main road without thinking about it.Some instincts never leave you, especially when discretion has been practiced longer than most people have been alive. The cottage sat far enough from the city to feel detached from it, surrounded by trees that had grown close together over time, forming a natural barrier between this place and the rest of the world. It was small, quiet, and unremarkable to anyone who did not know it existed. That was exactly why it had always felt safe to me.Elena sat beside me during the drive, her posture relaxed but her silence thoughtful. She watched the road pass by as though she were absorbing the distance itself, and every so often I caught her reflection in the window. Just having her there, close enough to feel her presence without touching her, felt grounding after a week that had stretched far longer than seven days ever should.Staying away from her had not brought clarity. It had brought restlessness, disrupted sleep, an

Anonymous message

~Julian~People said noise helped you forget. That if you kept your ears full and your hands busy, your mind wouldn’t wander to places it didn’t want to go. I believed that. Or at least, I wanted to. That was why my headset had been pressed tight over my ears, volume turned up just enough to drown out everything else, the hum of my thoughts, the constant buzzing of my phone, the version of my name that didn’t even feel like mine anymore.My room was dark except for the soft blue glow of the screen. The LED lights along my desk blinked lazily, casting shadows that shifted every time I moved. Midnight had just slipped past without asking permission.“Julian, left side,” Marcus said through the mic. “They’re pushing.”“I got it,” I replied, though my fingers felt slower than usual on the controller. Gunfire filled my ears, the sound was sharp, aggressive, almost comforting in its chaos. My character dropped before I could react.Respawn timer. Five seconds. I exhaled through my nose.“Y

I trusted you

~Elena~I was still lying in bed next to Richard. The room was quiet in that fragile I couldn’t explain. All my nerves were calm and happy.His arm was wrapped around my waist, his body warm against mine, his breathing slow and steady in a comforting way. I was awake, even though I had been pretending not to be, staring at the ceiling and trying not to think about what happens to us after we return to the city.I knew we would barely have time for each other. We would have to be very careful, too careful around each other. I guess, seeing each other in the city was even out of the options.While I was still deep in my thoughts, there was a thud. The door crashed opened, causing our eyes to fling wide open. My heart jumped into my throat, and I sat upright instinctively, already panicking before my mind had fully registered what was happening.It was violent and sudden, the kind of noise that ripped you straight out of whatever illusion you were clinging to. Wood slammed against the wa

Too much

~Julian~I did not remember pulling out of the dirt path.I only remembered the way my hands were shaking on the steering wheel and how my chest felt too tight to breathe properly. The engine roared louder than it needed to as I slammed the car into gear and took off down the narrow road like I was trying to outrun what I had just seen. Trees blurred past me, the darkness swallowing the cottage whole behind my rearview mirror, but the image stayed burned into my head no matter how fast I drove.I kept seeing them. My father and Elena in bed. Every time I blinked, my stomach twisted again.I drove too fast. I knew I was driving too fast. The road curved sharply, and I barely slowed, tires screeching as I took turns recklessly, like part of me did not care whether I made it back to the city at all. My phone buzzed on the passenger seat. I ignored it. I could not look at it. I could not see another notification, another message, another reminder of how exposed I felt.Tears came out of n

Chaos

I adjusted my tie as I walked into the company. My walk was brisk, and for the first time, I felt uncomfortable walking in my own building.The way people looked at me and greeted me, it was like they could see right through me. See how horrible of a father and best friend I was.Last night, after dropping off Elena at Natalie’s, I drove straight to the house, hoping to trash things out with Julian, at least own up to my mistakes, but he was nowhere to be found. I called his phone and it kept ringing until it started going straight to voicemail.I knew what that meant. He didn’t want to talk to me.I got into the elevator and as it moved, I thought about how to face Martin. I wasn’t sure what he knew yet, but if he had found out already, I needed to brace myself for what was to come.“Good morning, sir.” A worker greeted me as I stepped out of the elevator.“Morning.” I smiled faintly as I strutted to my office. I walked past Martin’s office and he looked up just in time.I forced out

This isn't good

~Elena~My eyes were swollen and my head felt heavy. Since the audio of Julian talking to Langford leaked, my phone had been buzzing non-stop. Different messages of people slut-shaming me, but I didn’t really care about their messages.Only one touched me to my core, and that was Sophie’s message. The message read; “I can’t believe you did this, and you kept it from me. I kept asking you but you kept denying it. I thought I was your best friend, but I guess Natalie has gotten that title from me.”Tears rolled down my eyes as I replied; “I am sorry, Sophie. I didn’t know how to tell you. I was scared about being judged by you. I couldn’t just help myself from falling for him. I am so sorry.”After texting her back, I laid on the bed and continued weeping. I knew one thing for sure, my father heard the VN already and I knew the scolding was coming. Those were the only people I feared judgments from.The others can fuck off with their judgments and feelings.I missed him already. I didn’

Guilty too

~Elena~“Elena!” My father’s voice echoed through the living room walls. My heart dropped and I looked at my friends. “Elena!” His voice came again, this time louder and impatient.“Oh oh, that isn’t good.” Sophie whispered as we all got out of bed. I hurried out to the hallway and down the stairs. I found him standing in the middle of the living room, his rageful eyes on the stairs.“Dad,” I called very low that I could barely hear myself. I got down the stairs and took slow, fearful steps towards him. My chest rose and fell and my legs shivered in terror.“You were with him.” Father started, his voice firm and loud. “You were sleeping with him… my best friend! How could you let him take advantage of you?” The look of disgust and disappointment painted his face red.“He didn’t take advantage of me, father.” I answered with a loud tone. “I chased after him.” I lowered my head and began to fiddle with my fingers afterwards.“How dare you say that to me?! Why Richard of all people! He i

Get out of here

~Julian~I burst into the house, my face painted with a frown. Since the scandal was out, I refused to go back to my father’s mansion. But, I couldn’t keep pushing away. I needed to talk to him, to face him man to man before I leave back to my mother’s family. It was the weekend and I knew for sure he was going to be home. I bet he can go anywhere else after the news about him circulating. As much as I wanted him to suffer for what he did to me, and how he ruined my relationship, I didn’t want it to be like this. I didn’t want it to disturb his business, but it was beyond my control already. ‘Maybe he deserves it.’ I thought as I headed straight to his room. “Dad?” I called out as I knocked once on his door before opening. He sat on the edge of his bed. He stared at me as I slowly approached, my eyes caught his face and I could see the bruises, definitely the ones Martin left on him. “You finally came back home.” He said with a tired tone, “I wasn’t expecting you to.” “So you c
