Behind Closed Doors B.a. Paris Novels & Stories

Right in front of a closed door. The first closed door in the whole house. All other doors were open. Not these. The clock showed exactly 11:59. One minute before twelve. And her pendulum didn't move. She was standing. Aren stepped closer. There were no numbers on the dial. Just words. Twelve words. One at a number. He read them slowly. ‘First.’ ‘Hope.’ ‘Remember’. ‘loss’. ‘debt’. ‘Love.’ “Angst.” ‘Mut.’

The same hallway where girls disappeared and came back quieter. At the far end, behind a frosted glass door, was Clarisse’s office. Bella placed her hand on the doorknob. This was what it meant to come full circle. She opened it. Clarisse sat behind the desk, back turned. The walls were lined with security screens and fake luxury. The sound of the door closing made her pause, then glance over her shoulder. Their eyes met. Bella didn’t speak. Clarisse blinked, then stood slowly. Her lips parted in disbelief. “You?”

I swear he'll pay for his betrayal in a hundred folds. It was night yet I didn't say anything to my cellmate. I laid on the upper bunker, my eyes wide open like a hawk while Grace and Amaya were fast asleep. A gentle knock on the gate woke them up. I sat up and looked at the gate to see a warden opening it. “You..come out." She pointed at me and without thinking twice, I jumped down from the bed. Grace and Amaya stood in my front, stopping me from going further. “She's going nowhere with you!" Grace spread her arms defensively.

The walls, weathered and aged, seemed to hold memories of countless clandestine encounters, of secrets whispered and battles fought in silence. Marseille's night pressed against the windows, a thick velvet darkness that spoke of hidden histories and unresolved tensions. The safe house itself was a testament to their profession—a carefully curated space that revealed nothing, yet held everything. Vintage maps hung slightly askew, their edges frayed, marking territories that had long since changed. A collection of seemingly random objects—a worn leather-bound notebook, a vintage compass, a small ceramic figurine—was strategically placed, each item a potential communication device, each surface

“Put it on. Nothing else.” The drive from the airport to the hotel was a blur of Paris at night, the Arc de Triomphe blazing gold, the Seine glittering black. She sat in the back of the Rolls, legs pressed together to keep his come inside her, the silk dress sticking to her damp skin. Their suite at the George V took up half the top floor. The moment the door closed behind the bellhop, Gabriel locked it and turned the key twice. “Clothes off. You will not wear a stitch again until we leave Paris in days.”

I got back to Lloyd's place at the stroke of twelve. Still, my phone was as quiet as a graveyard. The Lloyd house was all lit up, laughter and music spilling out into the night. I did not ask them why. If the maid had not opened the door, I might have just stayed out there forever. "You look a mess! And your clothes are filthy." Janet did not pull any punches when she saw me. My mom, Harriet Yates, looked at me, her eyes wide with a mix of shock and disbelief.

The understanding between them transcended words. Together, the two boys stepped forward, hand in hand, and crossed the threshold of the violet glass. There was no splash. No sound of tearing reality. No dramatic explosion of light. One second they were there, their silhouettes sharp against the glowing backdrop, and the next, they were swallowed by the impossible light. The Door rippled slightly, like the surface of a deep pond disturbed by a falling leaf, and then settled back into its perfectly flat, two-dimensional stillness. "They did it," someone gasped, the sound ragged and torn from dry lungs.

As she was about to enter her room, Everlee's door opened. "Paris," she called very happy to see her. Paris ran into her room and lock the door not wanting to deal with anyone now. She wanted to be left alone. "Mom, Paris is here!" she heard Everlee shouted downstairs. Paris's eyes closed irritated, laying onto her bed. "Paris open the door," she soon heard Mrs. Poppy knocking down her door. Paris didn't move, she remained. "Open the door," her mom again commanded her. Again, Paris ignored her.

It was Clarissa. It sounded like she had even locked the shop door, probably to keep anyone else from coming in. Then she headed quickly toward the back storage room. Each step brought her closer. She seemed to be pulling off her pants as she walked. A second later, that same heat and wetness surrounded me again. Even though nothing had technically happened yet, the intense friction alone was enough to make my head spin. "Mmm…" This time, I couldn't hold it in. A long groan slipped out of my throat.
