The Hug

Seraphina heard the garage door open and her husband's car slowly drive in. She didn't bother checking the time…he was always precise. Always 9:00pm. He'd leave work at 8, stop by to pick his coffee at 8:30 and drive for 30 minutes back home. He was always precise but not anymore.She stood in the kitchen as elegant as ever. Marriage didn't mean boring and she took the assignment personally. Even after being married for 5 years, she made sure to look beautiful every evening while preparing dinner. It was the only moment she looked forward to after her long day at work and tonight, she stood on her diamond encrusted heels, her blonde hair dripping down her waist and her golden skin complementing her red dress beautifully. She had made a crispy chicken sandwich and fresh juice she always bragged to squeeze herself.She heard the keys in the door and she giggled with her arms stretched wide “Mr. Big CEO, you're late again” she walked towards him slowly.“I'm sorry, my princess” he lifted

That Damn Number.

The number was unknown. She thought about picking up the call. She didn't want to wake Adrian up but he only turned around and mumbled in his sleep, never actually waking up. She said once, for clarity “Darling?” No response. She knew he was fast asleep so she got out of her bed and walked slowly to the bathroom, watching the call end and come in over and over.She got to the bathroom and sat in the dry tub. She answered the phone and slowly raised it to her ear…nothing. The person on the other end said absolutely nothing.“Are you going to speak, or?” Seraphina spat out with disgust but still no response. She rolled her eyes and ended the call. It may have been one of the endless men who find her number on the internet because of her short career in modelling. As soon as she got out of the tubRING! RING! RING!Her ringtone viciously tore the air making her wince. She stared at her phone, her eyes glowing with rage and hate for this unknown person. She picked up again, still silent a

The Other Woman.

Seraphina's mind raced, her heart pounded and her breath hitched. She didn't know why she felt so much fear rather than just responding to him and he noticed. He rushed down the stairs and held her “what's going on with you?” Worry, painting his face. Seraphina had started lookingpale, compared to when she made dinner. Her phone had dropped and he looked to see but it was just her sister.“You panicked because of Steph? Is she coming over” he asked out of genuine worry and Sera nodded weakly. Adrian let out a loud sigh as he put her on the couch and knelt in front of her “Darling, Stephanie is family…she can come whenever” he raised his hands to rub her cheeks “okay, baby?” She didn't respond. Tears ran down her cheeks quickly and it made Adrian scared. He kept asking what the problem was but she laid there crying while her mind and heart continued racing. When she eventually spoke, her voice was thinner than the usual melodic sounds she let out“I should be asking you…you changed

The meeting ended shortly and she picked up her bags to leave the office. Before she stepped out of the building, she stopped by the secretary to warn her. “If that lady comes in here again and you don't call security to lock her up, you'll lose your job. Got it?The secretary nodded like her life depended on it, maybe because it did.The drive home was quiet…too quiet. Like the calm before a terrible storm but she was ready.Her ringtone tore the peace and she glared at the phone.“Darling.”She answered “Sera Darling, I have another meeting…so I will be home late” he said hurriedly.“I do not care if you have a surgery and you are the surgeon or you're going for your burial…” she hissed “I want you home by the time I'm there.” She ended the call. After that tone in her voice, he knew better than to come late. She made a stop at her sister's office to tell her what happened and she almost exploded.“What do you mean that ugly woman is pregnant!” “Calm down, Steph. I'm going home to

Vanessa

The week came as quickly as Adrian suggested it. Initially, he still pretended to love her. Getting her gifts, changing her phone, coming home early to eat dinner but after 3 days a version of Adrian she had never seen emerged. He didn't call or eat, he came back late and was always on call with Vanessa. He made it obvious and Seraphina accepted the fate of their once beautiful marriage before the week ended. Seraphina called Stephanie to get a suitable place for her to move in and Steph screamed from the phone“Has he responded? Why're you getting a place now?”“I know what he'll say. So I won't wait to get heartbroken” Seraphina said before landing a gut-retching cough “... I'll send the money now”“Hmm…okay. I'll get a place that suits you”“Thank you, Steph. I wonder what I'll do without you”“Nothing, Sera. You'll do nothing without me.” Before Seraphina could respond, Stephanie hung up the call…leaving Seraphina with the echoes of her laughter. Stephanie helped her with sanity i

The Papers.

On the other hand, Seraphina was going through hell with her unknown stalker. Calls and texts rushed in more than ever. She'd answer, scream at them, they'll stay silent until she hangs up. At some point, she turned off her phone. She walked around her new house and checked it out. It was beautiful. Plain white and perfectly lit. The chandelier was silver and gold, the walls had marbles, the bathroom had her name encrusted with bronze. Everything in this house screamed her and she loved it but the only problem was, her husband wasn't in it. She sat on her stairs and began bawling her eyes out. The weight of everything had finally hit and she was not taking it well. Her meal went cold, the water kept running in the kitchen and bathroom and she left the oven on. She kept thinking about Adrian. She wanted to call and ask how he's doing, if he had eaten and how he's coping with the separation but when she picked up her phone, she received a text from the unknown number. It was an image t

A NIGHT OUT.

The sun hit differently the moment Seraphina stepped out of the building, not warm or comforting, just hot. Like it burnt just her. She paused beside her car, her fingers tightening around her keys and for a moment, she thought through her life choices. For a moment, she just stood there, breathing in slowly like she had just run a dangerous marathon.Then she reached for her phone, expecting a hundred calls from her stalker but her heart skipped, no missed calls, no messages. Nothing.“Had he suddenly gotten tired?” She laughed under her breath but her brows furrowed…none of this seemed normal. For the past few days, her phone had been a war zone. Endless calls, texts and silence from the other end. That eerie, suffocating silence that made her skin crawl, that she had learnt to live with and now…nothing?“...Weird,” she mumbled , barely higher than a whisper and for a split second, she almost felt relief...almost.Something about it just didn’t sit right. Still, she shook it off and

LUCK

“C’mon, dearie...Touch me again,” Seraphina whispered as she stood, her voice low and steady, as her gaze locked on Vanessa’s. “Make hurting you easy for me, Vanessa… I beg of you.” The air grew tense, with anticipation, almost like the entire room was holding it's breath waiting for something to break... Maybe it was Seraphina's patience. Stephanie kept a close watch on her as continued to eat. Seraphina had it under control…she always did and there was no way in hell she'd lose to Vanessa in a fight. “That’s enough trouble for one day, Ness.” His deep voice cut through the thin silence with authority. The sound of his shoes got closer and closer. Seraphina didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. The familiarity of it settled deep in her chest, the voice she had once looked forward to after a long day. Adrian Vale. He stepped forward, his presence was commanding without any effort. Eyes around the restaurant turned quickly as he arrived. His eyes briefly flicked toward he

THE DRIVE HOME.

The moment her car doors closed shut, Stephanie lost it immediately. “That bitch is insane!” she nearly screamed, pulling her heels off and throwing them angrily into the back of the car. “Why would anyone behave like that in public? Hair pulling? Food throwing? Is she mentally stable?” but Seraphina said nothing. She pulled out of the restaurant parking lot and drove out slowly. Stephanie kept ranting angrily from the passenger seat while Seraphina remained unusually quiet, her hands stayed clutched against the steering wheel…and they looked steady or at least they did. Her expression stayed the same since she left the restaurant and Stephanie slowly turned to stare at her. “…You’re scaring me.” Seraphina’s eyes remained on the road. “I’m driving.” “No,” Stephanie muttered, narrowing her eyes. “You’re thinking.” and that finally got a reaction out of her. Seraphina tightened her grip on the steering wheel while her mind replayed the message over and over again like a shitty bro

HER SILK DRESS.

Seraphina got home but could barely slept that night because every single sound inside the house made her scared. From the faint rustling of curtains from the air conditioner, to even the ticking clock mounted on the wall suddenly sounded too loud. The massive white house she had fallen in love with a few days ago no longer felt comforting anymore. It felt empty and strange…almost hostile and by 2AM, she sat curled up on the large couch in the living room with all the lights turned on. Her silk robe wrapped tightly around her body while a blanket covered her legs, though she still felt cold. Stephanie had agreed to spend the night after eventually forcing herself to sleep upstairs because of hours of ranting about Vanessa and threatening to “accidentally” run her over with her car someday but Seraphina remained wide awake. Her phone rested beside her on the couch…silent…for now. Every few minutes, her eyes drifted toward it against her will and she hated herself for it. She hated tha
