Five O'clock Shadow

No dia em que sofri um aborto espontâneo e uma hemorragia grave, meu marido postou no Instagram Stories a foto dos pezinhos de um recém-nascido. Legenda: "Bem-vindo, meu anjinho. O papai sempre vai te proteger." Com as mãos trêmulas, liguei para ele: — Perdi o bebê... Você pode vir ao hospital? Do outro lado da linha, o choro de um bebê se misturava à voz impaciente dele: — Nesse caso, cuide-se. A Isabela acabou de dar à luz e precisa de mim. Não posso sair. — E já que o seu morreu, não tente disputar atenção com quem está vivo, entendeu? Ele desligou abruptamente. Sozinha na cama do hospital, desabei em prantos. Depois de enxugar as lágrimas, disquei o número de Lucas Soares, o arquirrival dele. — Case comigo. Todo o Grupo Lima será seu. Só quero que você derrube o Felipe Moreira. Aceita?

Três meses antes do divórcio, ela protocolou o pedido de transferência no trabalho. Um mês antes do divórcio, enviou os papéis de divórcio para o Ricardo pelo correio. Nos últimos três dias antes do divórcio, arrumou todas as suas coisas e se mudou da casa onde viveram juntos. ... Seis anos de relacionamento chegaram ao fim no momento em que Ricardo apareceu na frente dela com sua paixão antiga e o filho dela, deixando a criança chamá-lo de "papai". Foi aí que ela caiu na real. Já que ele sempre a fez engolir sapo e se humilhar por causa daquela mulher e do filho dela, como se ela fosse a amante que tinha que se esconder nas sombras, então que fosse. Ela ia acabar com esse casamento de uma vez e deixar o caminho livre para ele ficar com o amor da vida dele. Mas quando ela realmente sumiu do mundo dele, o cara pirou de vez. Ela achava que o Ricardo finalmente ia conseguir se casar com a mulher que sempre amou, mas não fazia ideia de que esse homem poderoso ia aparecer na televisão, de olhos vermelhos, implorando como um coitado pelo amor dela: — Eu não traí e muito menos tenho filho por aí. Eu só tenho uma esposa que não me quer mais. O nome dela é Luana, e eu estou morrendo de saudade dela!

I live alone. At eleven o'clock on a rainy night, an unexpected call came through. The voice on the other end said my car window was left open and urged me to go downstairs. Cautious as a woman should be, I didn't act rashly. Instead, I called the property security office, only to discover that even the security was fake. It hit me suddenly—I was ensnared in a vast conspiracy. Someone was orchestrating all of this. But for what purpose?

[1st Account in the Tale of Shadow's Enigma] Z doesn't sit well in a world where a shadow is manipulated. As someone who has no memory of her past, she can't summon her shadow like others used to. It's a fatal mistake that may as well cost her life. But she can't worry with the facing danger when she's the only one who sees their world becoming undone. The legend of Dark, the only Shadow Wielder able to control time, is resurfacing once again. With a mob of wielders going on a rampage and going missing here and there, Z is losing a battle that haven't even started yet. In her haste, she makes the first mistake of leading her only friend to his death. And commits the second one by signing a deal with Dark himself just so he can be resurrected. Dark sends Z in a prestigious school where she's been thought of as someone she doesn't know. And while she has to endure living a stolen life, listening to a brat's whining, being patient with a maniac's snide remarks, and taking in the dazzling cold stares of an enthralling man whose eyes are only set at her, will she allow the world to crumble in the hands of Dark any further? And sacrifice every wielder alive just for a single friend?

“Is this true?” I asked. I can’t believe of what I have read on the posts on the social media account of the two writers that I met, Sketch and Doodle. I read again the post of Sketch. I thought of something, not because there will be no update on his story but because of his post however I can’t remember where I read it before. Then, I read what Doodle had posted. I suddenly remember my story and I read the last scene that I wrote; same words, same scenarios and same comments like how I read their posts. I doubt quite a bit but really it amazed me which I don’t know why. That is why I read some of their last few posts and it was quite surreal which leads to a coincidental from the turn of events on what their real life is and on what I wrote. I won’t pay any attention to what is going on because I know it wouldn’t happen. It seems like my suspicion is true… the things that I’m writing is coming true when there are real people that’s involved on my story however I need to investigate this. Sketch wasn’t talking while driving, I can see on Doodle eyes how amazed he is while we travel, seeing a fine nature is really amazing while I seldom talk just to point where we have to move. I noticed Sketch glanced at me. I smiled. “I’m actually kidnapping both of you and you two are willing victim.” Sketch stepped on the breaks and it made a big screech of the car. “What?!” they both asked.
