In Love Without Words

Elara came out of the bathroom after taking her shower, steam still clinging faintly to her skin, her hair damp and loose down her back, the scent of soap and warm water trailing behind her.The world felt quiet in that fragile, early-morning way, like the house itself was still half-asleep.Her lips curved into a soft smile before she could stop it when she saw Lucian still sleeping on the bed.He lay sprawled against the dark sheets, one arm thrown above his head, the other resting where she had been moments ago, fingers curled as if even in sleep he expected her to be there. His face was relaxed in a way she rarely saw when he was awake, no sharp edges, no guarded calm, just the raw, unfiltered man beneath everything else.For a moment, she simply watched him.There was something almost unreal about it, this man, this bed, and this life. The way her chest still tightened with a strange mix of awe and disbelief, as if she might wake up at any second and find it gone.She crossed t

Memories And Fear

Elara frowned.Her gaze lingered on it, confusion settling in slowly, followed by a creeping unease she couldn’t quite name. How could there be a door inside the closet? She had been in here dozens of times. She knew this space. She would have noticed.Her heart began to beat just a little faster.For a moment, she considered calling out to Lucian. Asking him. Letting him explain, letting his voice ground her, dissolved the tension before it could grow.But curiosity, quiet, insistent, won.She stepped closer and gently pushed it open.It wasn’t a room. But rather, it was a drawer.A concealed compartment built seamlessly into the wall, hidden with such precision that it might as well have been invisible.Her stomach tightened without realizing. Inside were folded clothes.Something cold slid down her spine as she reached in and picked up the item lying on top.A suit. Her breath caught so sharply it hurt.She knew this suit.Her fingers clenched around the fabric as memory slammed

His Desperation

Lucian slowly rose from his crouched position in front of Elara and took a step back.Just three steps. That was all it took for his chest to cave in completely, like something vital inside him had finally given up the fight and collapsed under its own weight.The look in her eyes... God, that look, sliced straight through him, sharp and merciless, cutting past bone and muscle and straight into places he had buried and sealed years ago.Fear, raw and unfiltered. Confusion so deep it made her look younger somehow, smaller. Terror that wasn’t meant for him, not truly, but reflected onto him all the same, bending and warping until it landed squarely on his shoulders.It shattered something fragile behind his ribs, something he hadn’t known was still capable of breaking.Lucian turned away abruptly, as if the sight of her face might undo him entirely, and dragged a hand through his hair.His fingers trembled as they raked through the strands, his breathing turning uneven, and shallow, l

Secrets! Her Past!

Her touch stunned him into stillness.“I’m not... I’m not...” Her breath hitched, the words tangling in her throat as her eyes burned. She shook her head, frustrated, and desperate. “I don’t even know how to explain it.”Lucian shook his head too and spoke. “I’m sorry,” he blurted out, the apology tearing free before he could stop it. He gripped her wrists, not to pull her away, but to keep her there, like she was the only solid thing left in the room. “I’m so sorry. For everything. For today. For... God, for things you don’t even know about yet.”His eyes were red now, glassy, his composure in ruins.“Please,” he said, the word raw, stripped of pride, of power, of the man he was to everyone else. “Please don’t leave me. Don’t look at me like that. I swear... I swear I’d never hurt you. Never. I’d burn the whole world down before I let anything touch you. You can't leave me again, Elara. I really won't survive this time around.”Elara froze. This couldn’t be real.Was this really Luc

Mind Your Own Business!

After everything that had happened in the bedroom, the confusion, the fear, the almost-confessions neither of them was ready to make, Elara and Lucian eventually did what life demanded of them.They got dressed again. There was not much activity like before. Not playful like earlier that morning, when fabric had been tugged away with laughter and kisses stolen between buttons and zippers.Just… dressing up slowly this time.Every movement carried weight now.Lucian pulled on his shirt slowly, as if grounding himself in the mundane act of dressing was the only thing keeping his thoughts from spiraling back to the edge they had stood on together. Elara watched him from behind, as if she needed the pressure to remind herself that she was here, that this was real.She slipped into the dress that she picked this time, and for a moment, her hands stilled at the hem. Her chest tightened, emotions pressing dangerously close to the surface again.Lucian noticed.Without a word, he stepped

Throw This Dog Out!

Elara went on with her day at the coffee shop the same way she had for months now, moving on muscle memory alone, her hands steady as she wiped down counters, passed out change, and called out drink orders in a calm, even voice that betrayed absolutely nothing of the storm constantly brewing inside her chest.The bell above the glass door chimed again and again as customers came and went, the smell of roasted coffee beans thick in the air, mixing with sugar, milk, and the faint scent of rain.Normally, this place felt safe to her. Neutral. A small pocket of peace where she could just be Elara, not someone’s adopted daughter, not someone’s property, not someone’s burden.But today was different.Today, eyes followed her...Lingering eyes...Curious eyes...Judging eyes...Whispering eyes...Some customers stared far too long, their gazes flicking between her face and the screens of their phones, where her wedding photos, her wedding saga, had gone viral overnight. Some leaned close to

A Spoiled Brat!

The moment Aaron’s voice disappeared beyond the café doors, swallowed by the noise of the street and the distant hum of passing cars, Elara finally exhaled.Her shoulders sagged just a fraction, but it felt like the weight of the entire world sliding off her spine.The adrenaline that had surged through her moments earlier, hot, sharp, merciless, began to drain away, leaving behind a dull, throbbing ache in her chest and a faint tremor running through her fingers, down to the tips.The café was quiet now.Not the comfortable, early-morning hush Elara was used to.This silence was thick, heavy, oppressive.Cups lay shattered on the floor, their ceramic bodies cracked and splintered into jagged pieces that glinted under the overhead lights. A chair lay overturned near one of the tables, its legs twisted awkwardly as if it had tried, and failed, to escape the chaos. Coffee stained the pale tiles in dark, ugly splashes, spreading like bruises that refused to fade.Elara knew people were

The Stranger Again

Elara stood over Serenity. Her breathing was steady, too steady for someone who had just struck another human being... A teenager at best.It wasn’t the breath of someone acting on impulse. It was the controlled inhale of someone who had reached the end of their patience long before their hand ever moved.Her eyes burned. Not with rage but also with something far worse... Something cold.Serenity was on the floor beneath her, one hand pressed against her cheek, her eyes wide and glassy with shock, her body trembling as if her mind still hadn’t caught up with the reality that had just shattered her sense of superiority.Did... did her father's employee dare to lay her filthy hand on her? The café was silent... Utterly, painfully silent.After a while, Elara lifted her hand slowly. Not to strike again. But to make a point.Her finger landed squarely on Serenity’s chest, hovering just inches from her designer blouse, the same blouse Serenity had worn with smug pride, the same blouse sh

Adrian Blackwood

Elara straightened her shoulders the moment she reached the counter, schooling her expression into the polite, neutral smile she had perfected over the years, the kind that never invited questions, never invited familiarity, never invited interest.Yet the man standing in front of her made that smile feel brittle, almost cracked, like porcelain stretched too thin.She didn’t look at him directly when she spoke.Because the moment she did, the moment her eyes met his, something inside her twisted violently, like a warning bell screaming inside her skull.She badly wanted to be far away from this man. Anywhere... Anywhere but here.And the worst part, the part that made her skin crawl, was that she didn’t know why.“Good afternoon,” she said softly, keeping her tone professional, controlled, and calm, even though something inside her chest had already begun to tighten. “What would you like to order?”She avoided his eyes as she spoke, focusing instead on the small details that felt safe

Their Death Sentence

And that terrified her more than anything else.For a fraction of a second, something dark flickered behind his eyes as he looked at her, and was gone as quickly as it appeared.Was that hatred she just saw in his eyes? That's ridiculous. How could that be?However, beneath those warning bells, another voice stirred inside her mind, faint but persistent, whispering something that made her stomach twist.'You have to remember him! You must remember him!'The thought struck her out of nowhere, sharp and disorienting.Her hands trembled slightly as she reached for the lid.She had met this man before. She was sure of it... Well, that's what her instincts were telling her.But no matter how hard she searched her memory, the image refused to sharpen, slipping away like smoke through her fingers.“Strange,” Adrian said softly, watching her with an intensity that made her skin crawl. “You look like you’re trying to remember something. If you choose to intentionally forget something, doesn't
