Lahat ng Kabanata ng NELLIE AND NAOMI : Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

In the following days, Nellie continued to carry out her plan. One night, she left her room and went into the living room. Nellie advanced into the heart of the game with quiet, calculated steps. She moved with a calm smile, wearing a mask of complete innocence, while she carried out her plan with utmost precision; an actress who mastered every minute movement of her role. She sat opposite Adel and gently reached out to touch his arm in a natural, spontaneous gesture before whispering in a low voice brimming with meaning,Nelly:Sometimes I feel like something is missing in my life, and that no one understands me like you do. I never knew I would love you this much, Adel.Adel looked at her with surprise and tenderness, as if her words had opened a new window into his heart.Nelly continued speaking cautiously and thoughtfully, balancing vulnerability with boldness,Nelly:Perhaps I was wrong about some things, but something inside me tells me I need you more than I expected. I want to f

More difficult days passed, days when the fire of jealousy burned in Nelly's heart; it wasn't ordinary jealousy, but a fire that consumed the soul like flames consuming the edges of paper. Every night, she heard whispers of love between Naomi and Adel as they shared their intimate moments in their bedroom, just as the doctor had advised. She saw the warmth between them, the closeness, and deep down, she realized she was losing a battle she hadn't even consciously started. The doctor had recommended strengthening their love, and his words were coming true every night while she slept alone, as if the whole world had closed its doors in her face. She began to feel that Naomi had noticed that thin, invisible thread connecting her to Adel, and Naomi was cutting off communication between them, preventing conversations, and closing off opportunities with quiet, intelligent caution. Adel, for his part, began returning from work and going straight to Naomi's room, as if Nellie had become part o

Naomi stepped out of the clinic building and stood staring at the street where Adel's car had been parked. But the car was gone, and she looked surprised.It was as if the world had frozen around her. She raised her eyes to the gray sky, its mist enveloping the city like a thin veil of mystery. Then she took a deep breath, trying to summon any semblance of calm. Her eyebrows lifted, a flicker of surprise crossed her face, and a dialogue ran through her mind.Naomi:Perhaps he moved slightly to make way for other cars, or perhaps he was suddenly called out for urgent work.She tilted her head slightly, searching for Adel's car, but the street was deserted, save for the sound of footsteps. She reached for the bag hanging from his arm, took out her phone, and called Adel. She held the phone to her ear, her eyes still scanning the street for Adel's car. She heard the phone ring once, then again, then it stopped. Naomi seemed to suspect Adel, a thin thread of doubt forming around her. The co

Adel emerged from Nelly's room, his fingers trembling as he straightened his shirt, wiping the trace of her lips from his neck and smoothing the perfume that clung to his skin. He opened her door slowly, glancing right and left like a thief slinking away from a crime scene, knowing her fingerprints still lingered. Inside, Nelly lay on the bed, her hair scattered across the pillow like the darkness of night, her face framed by that triumphant smile the smile of a woman who knew the man's heart was in her hands, that the entire house had become her private playground, where she alone controlled the game, moving the pieces wherever, whenever, and however she pleased, according to her plan. She whispered to herself with a captivating smileNelly: How beautiful life is, and how beautiful love is when it ignites.Outside, Adel walked quietly and cautiously toward Naomi's room. He stopped in front of the door, staring at it as if trying to read Naomi's feelings was she still asleep? He slowly

Adel sat with Nelly in the car parked beneath the building, the cold wind whipping against the outside glass. Nelly lit a cigarette, then turned to Adel and saidNelly:I won't accept living in secrecy. This terrifies me in front of Naomi; it makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong.Adel replied in a low but confident voice:Adel:Naomi won't suspect a thing. We'll be playing on our own turf; we'll live here in the same house, you, me, and Naomi.Nelly laughed softly, a laugh that spoke of the certainty of a woman who knew the man before her had lost control, and that her plan had indeed worked. Adel was no longer afraid that Naomi would discover their secret marriage. She looked at him seductively, with the gaze of a woman who had mastered the art of seductionNelly:And you think you can walk two tightropes at once?Nelly: He answered confidentlyAdel: I can, and more than two if you want.Nelly approached him, grabbed his shirt tightly, and saidNelly: No, only two.
