Ethan Kim woke up to a familiar dull heaviness behind his eyes.... one he always felt after an episode. He looked around his room. Table moved out of place, the door slightly ajar, perfumes and lotion bottles lying around.He frowned. He had thought he was okay, that he no longer needed those medications with nasty side effects. But now his family were back, and alongside them, came his insomnia.He couldn't remember anything clearly....just fragmented sensations: footsteps, the cupboard, a gun, Mira's angry voice. Ethan's pulse quickened. Did he hurt her yesterday night?He rose to his feet and hurried out of the room, he heaved a sigh of relief as he sighted Mira. She sat at the dining table talking to Mrs Han.He staggered back into his room, holding his head and went to take a cold shower.Mira sat at the dining room, scrolling through her phone. She was contemplating whether or not to text Rina and tell her about her near-death experience the previous night. But knowing Rina, the

Rina cat-walked into a luxurious restaurant. Finally! Wilder was finally putting effort into their relationship. He planned a surprise date for them and just called to tell her about it earlier that day. Rina grinned at the imagination of Wilder going on one knee, stretching a gorgeous diamond ring towards her after giving a very romantic speech. She sighted Wilder at the end of the restaurant. He sat behind a decorated table in joggers and a hood. Rina frowned. She wasn’t wearing anything extravagant but when compared to Wilder, no one would guess they were going for the same event. Rina replaced her frown with a bright smile. It was probably all part of the surprise. “Baby”. Rina called sweetly as she slid into the chair opposite Wilder. “You are late”. Wilder commented. Rina smiled. “ I was busy looking good for you, today is a big day for us, you know?” Wilder looked confused. “A big day? Is it your birthday”. Rina laughed. “Come on, I know everything”. Wilder

Victoria Kim smiled in triumph as she ended the call.It was finally happening, the big moment she had patiently waited for since she married Old man Kim.The time she would get rid of Ethan Kim and her son would finally sit on the president’s seat.Old man Kim came downstairs hurriedly. “Did you call a shareholders meeting?”Victoria Kim circled him and sat down on a couch, deliberately taking her time before answering.“Yes, I did. And?”. Old Kim scoffed in disbelief.“And? You are really asking me that?”.She shrugged. “It is time someone more capable takes the president seat”.Old Kim stormed towards her and pulled her up by her neck.“I warned you not to touch Ethan”.“Are you trying to play the loving father now?”. She asked. “Isn’t it a little too late for that?”Old Kim tightened his grip around her neck.“Don’t push me to the wall”.Victoria grabbed his hands desperately as she struggled for air.“You can’t kill me…..if….you do, you will…never find your wife”.Old Kim kept t

Mira Bennet stood in the kitchen, her body almost completely covered in flour. She bent over and brought out some cookies from the oven. Ethan Kim had barely come home these past few days, and even when he did, Mira didn’t get to see him because he usually left before she awoke. Mrs Han told her about the difficult times Ethan was going through at the company, so she wanted to do something to cheer him up. Mira glanced at the clock, it read 7:10pm, she smiled triumphantly. “He should be here soon”. Immediately she heard Ethan’s door open, Mira grabbed the cookies’ tray and ran out of the kitchen. “Jesus….Mira!” Ethan jumped as Mira slowed to a stop in front of him. “Here! I made you cookies”. Mira shove the cookie in Ethan’s face. Ethan seized her up from head to toe. She had a cap and apron on, her cheeks and clothes had white dust all over them. Ethan barely concealed the laughter snort threatening to escape his throat. He cleared his throat. “Why are you su

Mira smiled at her phone as she saw the caller’s ID. “Rina!”. She squealed immediately she picked up the call. “Babe! Did you see the news?” Mira frowned. “What news?”. “What have you been doing? Check and call me back”. Rina ended the call immediately. Mira wore her slippers and hurried downstairs. Ethan sat in the living room, staring blankly at the tv. Mira grabbed the Tv remote control. “Excuse me”. She quickly changed to a news channel. “This morning, the police discovered 3 dead bodies in an uncompleted building, one of the bodies has been identified as Adrian Cho, a man in his late twenties, while the other two bodies remains unknown……”, The remote slipped off Mira’s hand, startling Ethan. He looked from Mira to the TV. Was it that startling to hear of the death of three strangers? Wait….Adrian Cho.That name felt familiar, then it clicked. It was Mira’s ex whom Liana slept with.Tears slid down Mira’s cheek even though she tried to control them.Ethan stood and
