I don't overthink anymore

Aurelia," Dad!" I jumped into his arms as soon as I saw him, my fingers clutching the fabric of his shirt as if letting go would make him disappear. He was sitting in the café where we always had our little coffee dates. He looked vibrant, young, and perfect, just the way I remembered—his presence warm enough to quiet every storm inside me." My child!" He hugged me tightly, chuckling freely, his chest rising under my cheek, " What's with you?"" I missed you, Dad!" I said, my voice shaking, my throat tightening as the words scraped out of me." I understand. But why are you sad? Dad is here for you!" He said, gently rubbing my back, his palm moving in slow, steady circles that almost made me break." I don't know, Dad. Everything is just… a mess. Without you, everything is just—!" My words faltered, breath hitching, fingers curling tighter into him." Don't forget what I taught you, sweetheart! Live your life however you want. And never let yourself suffer for others!"His words str

Revoking the licence

Aurelia,"Yes, my sincere apologies for all the delays. Let's proceed with the meeting."The meetings I was supposed to attend physically, I had decided to attend virtually from the hospital. They had been going on well since morning. Everyone was understanding; it had also saved them time since they no longer needed to come all the way to my company.As I attended my meetings, Justin lingered around without bothering me at all. He sat quietly on the couch, scrolling through his phone, his thumb moving in slow, absent strokes. There was barely any expression on his face, just that distant stillness. Sometimes his jaw tightened for a second, then loosened again, like a thought came and went without leaving a trace.I wanted to ask him why he didn’t leave after seeing me fine, but I held myself back. The question sat at the tip of my tongue, then dissolved. It was his personal decision.Earlier, when he asked me if I still had that ear-ringing thing whenever I saw him, I couldn’t help b

Do to list

Justin,The warm blanket over my body brushed faintly against my nose as I shifted, the soft fabric tickling just enough to stir me. The cushion beneath my head dipped comfortably as I tried to toss and turn, chasing that last thread of sleep. That was when the unfamiliar scent of antiseptic and the distant hum of machines crept into my awareness.I wasn’t in my bedroom.My eyes opened slowly, vision swimming and unfocused for a moment before I forced myself upright. A slight dizziness followed, making me pause as I steadied my breathing. Then my attention drifted—and landed on Aurelia.She was on the bed, leaning against the upholstered headboard. Her hands were loosely intertwined over a small notebook, a pen still trapped between her fingers as if she had fallen asleep mid-thought. Her eyes were closed, lashes resting softly against her skin.There was exhaustion etched across her face, faint but undeniable—the slight tension around her brows, the subtle hollowness beneath her eyes

Not the pathetic

Aurelia,Jasper walked in as though he owned the place. His expression was tight, yet there was a practiced smile on his lips, the kind that tried too hard to look natural, as if we had never fought, as if nothing had shattered between us. He did not even notice Justin sitting on the couch. His entire focus locked onto me the moment he crossed the threshold, his gaze sharpening with intent as he walked straight toward me. There was a glint in his eyes, a carefully crafted concern that sat too perfectly to be real. If I had not known his true nature, that look alone would have made my chest tighten, would have sent a familiar flutter through my stomach."Love. What happened? I came here as soon as I heard about you. Are you okay?" he said, his voice laced with urgency as he leaned closer, his brows knitting together in a shallow imitation of worry. His hand twitched slightly at his side, as if he wanted to reach out but hesitated, calculating.I stared at him. At first, disbelief roo

Just the quiet surrender

Aurelia,The silence was heavy. Not just quiet, but thick, pressing against my ears, settling into my bones. The exhaustion soon returned after the adrenaline wore off, seeping through my limbs like slow poison. My shoulders slumped without me noticing, and my fingers curled weakly against my palm. I didn’t know how long I stared at the door, my eyes fixed on it as if something would walk back in and undo everything that had just happened.But with that exhaustion, I realized something else too—that a heavy weight had been sitting on my chest all this time. Invisible. Unnamed. And now, somehow, it had slipped away. My lungs expanded a little easier, though the emptiness it left behind felt just as unfamiliar.The words that Mr Darren had told me previously, about how it was me who had been pulling the relationship together since the day he confessed, played in my mind again and again, each repetition sharper than the last. Each word pressed into me, peeling back illusions I hadn’t re

The secret room

Justin, “This is where we used to live together.” Aurelia’s voice carried a lightness that did not quite belong to the house she had just stepped into. There was something deliberate in her tone, as though she were trying to soften the weight of the place before it could settle. I followed her inside, my gaze moving instinctively across the interior. The house was beautiful in a quiet, understated way. Nothing about it demanded attention, yet everything seemed thoughtfully placed. The furniture was warm-toned, the lighting soft, the arrangement natural rather than staged. It felt like a home that had once been lived in fully. And yet, it was empty. No footsteps echoed from deeper within. No voices drifted from distant rooms. There was no sign of life—only a stillness that pressed gently against the senses. “Sorry for that,” Aurelia said, turning slightly toward me. “The servants resigned soon after I was handed the deeds. They said your mother paid them generously as retirement

The confrontation

Aurelia,Slow down...That was what I told myself when I checked my phone. Countless phone calls, messages, and voice messages from everyone flooded the screen, their urgency almost suffocating even without being opened. But I didn’t check any of them. What was the point? Every missed call carried a voice I no longer wished to hear, every message a concern that came far too late to matter.By the time I pulled over, the gravel beneath the tires crunching louder than usual in the heavy silence, a few servants had already noticed me. They gathered near the main entrance, their movements hesitant, their faces drawn tight with worry. It wasn’t merely concern, it was the kind of unease that spread through a house when something had already gone terribly wrong.When I stepped out of the car, the air felt different. Heavier. Watching.“Young Miss, how are you? We have been worried about—!”I ignored them, brushing past without so much as a glance. I didn’t have the patience to pretend anymor

Sob story

Aurelia,My mother’s hands trembled as she sat across from me, her fingers gripping the fabric of her dress as though it were the only thing anchoring her in place. Her eyes remained fixed on the floor, glassy with tears that gathered but refused to fall. Her teeth pressed hard into her bottom lip, as if she could keep everything inside if she held on long enough.I watched her without warmth, without the faintest trace of softness. There had been a time when this woman held most of my heart. A time when coming home meant something. I would step through the door and find her beside Dad, the two of them laughing over something trivial, their voices filling the house with a sense of belonging I never questioned.Back then, I used to think that was the kind of life I wanted.A mother who was kind and unwavering. A father who stood like a shield, protecting me from everything without ever making me feel small. I had been terrified of losing that, of being separated from them, even for a m

Moved Out

Aurelia,It took only an hour and three suitcases to pack my entire life here. An hour to reduce years of memories, routines, and attachments into something that could be carried out the door. With that, I closed every single thing that had any connection to my mother. I shut down my bank account, canceled my credit cards, and ended every automatic payment tied to this house. Every trace of dependency, every invisible thread that still connected me to her, I cut without hesitation.I wanted to sever everything. Completely.A mother who could watch another woman suffer, who could witness a child being hurt and remain unmoved, could no longer be my family. That kind of indifference was not something I could forgive, nor something I could continue to stand beside. Whatever bond existed between us had already rotted long before today. I was simply acknowledging it now.Soon after, I left the house just like that. She was not there when I came downstairs, not there when I gave instructions

Jessica's madness

Narrator,Life whispers before it screams.Jessica Jeffery’s avaricious nature led her into a world where everything would one day crumble like expired cookies, soft at first, then disintegrating into something foul and irredeemable.It had all begun thirty-five years ago, when her best friend became the girlfriend of a second-generation heir, one of those untouchable elites born into obscene wealth and privilege. Jessica lingered beside her like a shadow, or perhaps something far more parasitic. Like a leech, or a silent opportunist, she stayed close, smiling, listening, waiting until the doors of high society opened just enough for her to slip inside.That was where it began.The young heirs fascinated her. Their carelessness, their curiosity, their sheltered ignorance about the world, all of it drew her in. Teenagers standing at the fragile edge of adulthood, eager to explore life, sex, rebellion, and everything forbidden. Jessica inserted herself into their lives seamlessly. She p
