Regrets

Leo!”Fred’s voice rang out from the hallway like a warning bell.Leo looked up from the sheet of paper he’d been sketching on another floor plan for a ridiculous business expansion idea he knew he’d never execute.Fred barged into the room, phone in hand, looking grave.“Have you seen the post?”Leo blinked. “What post?”Fred threw his phone across the couch. “Check Instagram. Now.”Leo’s gut twisted, even before he reached for his own phone. Something about Fred’s tone had sucked all the oxygen out of the room.“I don’t follow Jayden anymore,” Leo muttered, unlocking his screen with a practiced swipe. “I already blocked Elena too, months ago.”Fred didn’t respond.Leo typed “Zara Lane” into the search bar, but her profile didn’t show. Not even a greyed out version. It was like she’d vanished.“What the hell…” he mumbled. “She deactivated?”Fred gave him a look that said keep going.Leo opened Jayden’s page. It didn’t take long to find the post. Pinned. Fresh. Just six hours old.A p

To getting revenge

Tell Zara it’s Leo,” he said to the elderly man who answered the doorThe man studied him. Didn’t say anything. Just stared, as if reading Leo’s whole damn soul. He had her eyes and nose too, and though his skin sagged with age, Leo could imagine what he might’ve looked like in his prime. Youthful. Fierce. Just like her.“She’s inside,” the man said after a pause, stepping aside. “She hasn’t spoken much.”Leo entered slowly, the air thick with silence and sadness. The house was small, modest, but filled with signs of a life well-lived. A photo frame on the wall caught his eye. It was a picture frame of Zara as a little girl, grinning with missing teeth, standing beside the same man who had just opened the door.“ Dad?” Zara’s voice floated from inside.“She locked herself in her room,” Zara dad said softly. “Hasn’t come out in hours. Barely touched food. I can’t even get her to shower.”Leo exhaled slowly. “Did she say anything?”“She kept whispering ‘I knew he never loved me’ over an

The media

The silence in Leo’s penthouse office was usually the sound of focused work, the quiet hum of ambition. But tonight, it was a different kind of quiet. It was a heavy, thoughtful one, broken only by the occasional clink of ice in Fred’s whiskey glass. The city lights twinkled outside, a detached backdrop to the drama unfolding."You know," Leo said, breaking the silence as he sipped from his glass of whiskey, "I really think something’s fishy going on between Jayden and Elena."Fred raised a brow. “Like what?”“The way they twisted the whole narrative so fast… it’s not normal. That kind of PR spin takes planning, control, money. It’s a damn skill.”Fred leaned back on the couch, staring at the ceiling thoughtfully. “Hmm. You’re right. It was too smooth. Like one moment Zara was trending for being betrayed, and the next boom people are calling her bitter, attention-seeking.”“It’s quite a skill. Within hours of Zara leaving that mansion, before she even had a chance to breathe, the enti

Controversy

Zara hadn’t been online in over 24 hours. She didn’t post a single story. No tweets. No sponsored posts. Just... silence.It was unlike her. The world had already grown used to seeing her every day, smiling through makeup tutorials or posing in perfectly lit corners of the city. But after the whole Jayden scandal, she vanished. Her phone sat untouched beside her bed, buzzing relentlessly with missed calls, DMs, and gossip updates that she didn’t even dare to open.Her phone buzzed with another email notification. One more brand deal has been terminated with no explanation, no question, not even an apology just straight up termination.“Due to the ongoing controversy…” the email had said. As if that explained anything. As if her entire image built from scratch could be dismissed in a few vague sentences.Funny how everyone had their own opinion now even when they didn't know a damn thing about her and Jayden. She stood in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection like it had betr

Public assault

Leo didn’t waste time "So, for step one, Zara, I want you to reactivate your account," Leo said, his tone calm but firm.Zara blinked, unsure if she’d heard him right. They were seated in a cozy café tucked into a corner of the city, but she felt anything but comfortable. Her black hoodie was pulled tight, her face cap low enough to shadow her eyes. The last thing she wanted at the moment was to be noticed, let alone go back online.Her heart hammered against her ribs. She stared at him, sure she’d misheard. “Reactivate? Leo, are you serious? After what just happened? After the last post, after the brands are canceling?” Her voice was a tight whisper, laced with disbelief. “I literally just deleted everything. I don't think this is the right time for this”"Exactly why this is the perfect time," he replied, tapping his fingers against his coffee cup. "You’re an influencer. That’s your job. You going off only gives them more room to run wild with their bullshit."She crossed her arms,

Another side of Leo

Leo gasped as he stopped himself.His hand trembled in the air for a second, then dropped."No," he growled. "I don’t hit women. But you’re lucky I have that line."Silence fell.Leo turned to the bystanders. "What the hell is wrong with you people? You think because she’s famous, she’s not human? Because a rumor circulates, that gives you permission to attack her in public?"The girl scoffed. "She deserves it.""No one deserves to be assaulted," Leo snapped. "You want attention that bad? Post a selfie. Don’t assault someone and pretend you’re a hero."The café manager finally appeared, his expression alarmed."Sir, please calm down.""Calm down?" Leo barked. "Where was your security? You let your customers get harassed in broad daylight? She’s bleeding."Zara touched her lip. It was swelling.She reached out, her fingers clumsy and trembling, clutching at his arm.“No, Leo… let it go…” she whispered, her voice a thin, reedy sound, barely audible above the low murmurs that were starti

weirdest 24 hours of my life

Leo's car rolled to a slow stop in front of a gated mansion tucked behind towering hedges and security walls. Zara’s jaw dropped slightly as the sleek black gates opened to reveal a modern, glass-and-stone home bathed in warm evening light.He lives here? She thought, stunned. Alone?The car slid smoothly into the driveway, and as Leo stepped out and came around to her side, she was still frozen in disbelief.“Wow,” she whispered under her breath, barely audible.Leo caught the look on her face and chuckled as he opened the door for her. “I know. It’s a bit... much.”She stepped out slowly, gaze drifting across the manicured lawn and architectural perfection.“I’m sorry if bringing you here gives off the wrong idea,” Leo said softly as they approached the front door. “But I swear I just didn’t want your dad seeing you like that. You’re safe here. I mean no harm.”Zara’s shoulders relaxed slightly, and she nodded.Once inside, the house felt surprisingly warm for something so grand. Ea

Just a girl and a damm cafe

Leo stepped out onto the wide balcony that overlooked the city, the skyline flickering like a thousand tiny stars scattered across steel towers. He stretched his arms overhead, rolling his neck, then dropped onto one of the lounge chairs with a groan.Fred joined him a moment later, tossing a can of soda toward him. “Catch.”Leo caught it without looking. “You sure you don’t want something stronger?”Fred plopped into the chair beside him, cracked his can open, and shrugged. “It’s either this or I fall asleep mid-conversation.”They both sat in silence for a moment, sipping their drinks, letting the cool night air settle between them.Then Fred’s phone buzzed.He picked it up, answered with a short “Yeah?” and listened quietly.Leo didn’t pry. Not until Fred ended the call with a slow whistle and a shake of his head.“I already found out,” Fred said, glancing at Leo. “Those girls at the store they were sent by Elena.”Leo froze mid-sip. His expression darkened.“Elena,” he repeated, t

Private property

Zara sat on the edge of her bed, the screen of her phone, usually a gateway to endless scrolling and manufactured joy, now felt like a battleground. Zara stared at the 'Reactivate Account' button on her Instagram profile, her finger hovering, a knot of dread twisting in her stomach. Every fiber of her being screamed to pull back, to retreat into the safe anonymity she’d sought. But then Leo’s words echoed in her mind: “If anything, they are the ones who should deactivate their account, not you.” And the fierce resolve from his penthouse, the promise of reclaiming her narrative, hardened her resolve.With a deep, shaky breath, she tapped the screen.Account Reactivated. A soft whoosh sound. Just like that, she was back online.She blinked at the sudden flood of notifications. Old posts resurfaced. Comments. Mentions. DMs. But she didn’t feel the same fear she once did.This time, it felt like control.Her next move was instinctive. She found Leo’s contact in her phone a number Fred ha

spark

The familiar scent of roasted coffee beans, that was once a source of comfort, now carried a faint, unsettling feeling since the day Zara was publicly humiliated. But she couldn't help but feel a strange sense of calm over her as she stepped into the café.The café looked the same but quieter, more intimate. No customers. Just the two of them except for a barista wiping the counter with meticulous care and the hum of an espresso machine he was clearly proud of.And there, at their usual corner table by the window, sat Leo. He looked up as she entered, a faint, knowing smile gracing his lips. He was dressed in a dark, impeccably tailored suit, a stark contrast to her own casual jeans and a simple, fitted top. He exuded an aura of quiet power that seemed to fill the otherwise empty space.“Zara,” he greeted, his voice a low, warm rumble.She walked towards him, her steps lighter than they had been in days. “Good morning, Leo.” She glanced around the deserted café, then back at him, a p
