Forearm Ace Card Tattoo

The night I got back from my work trip, the drugstore called—said my rewards card got declined that afternoon. I needed to reload it. Adrian was in the kitchen, laser-focused on dinner. I asked what he'd bought. He grinned, pulled out a box of supplements. "Been working late. Heart's been acting up, so I grabbed some support vitamins." I didn't say anything. He sighed, dug out a bank card. "I know you're all about money. Used your rewards card by accident. I'll pay you back ten times. Deal?" Normally, I'd take it. This time, I didn't. I just looked at him. "Let's get a divorce."

Yvonne Larson, my housekeeper, has always been punctual, but she ends up being late today. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Carter. Dinner's not ready yet. I hope you won't mind. I had no choice. I waited for over half an hour, but no one got the door for me. I even called Mrs. Carter a few times, but she didn't take my calls. That's why I ended up running late." Halfway through changing into my house slippers, I pause and frown. "Yvonne, didn't Susanna give you the access card to the apartment?" Yvonne looks confused. "The access card? Mrs. Carter never gave me any card." "Never?" "That's right," Yvonne confirms timidly while wiping the sweat off her brow. "For the past month, I've always had to call Mrs. Carter and ask her to open the door for me. She wasn't picking up her phone today, so I had to wait outside…" That's strange. I've checked the logs before. The access card has been used multiple times throughout the past month.

เพราะว่ารัก.....ก็เลยยอมให้เขาทำร้าย ดันเห็นกงจักรกลายเป็นดอกไม้ ยิ่งห้ามยิ่งเตือนหัวใจตัวเองเท่าไหร่ก็ไม่ฟัง จะเป็นยังไง ถ้าวันหนึ่งเราได้รู้ว่าคนที่แอบชอบมาตั้งหลายปี เขาไม่ได้เป็นแบบที่เราคิด เขาไม่ได้ใสซื่อเหมือนที่แสดง เขามีอีกด้านที่เราไม่เคยรู้จักมาก่อน ทุกสิ่งที่เคยคิดว่าเขาเป็น และมันทำให้เราหลงใหลในตัวเขา มันไม่มีอะไรจริงเลยสักอย่าง เราจะทำอย่างไร จะเดินหน้าต่อไป หรือจะถอยหลังกลับ ความสัมพันธ์บางอย่างก็เหมือนกับการที่เราหยิบงูขึ้นมาอุ้มไว้ในอ้อมแขน ปล่อยให้มันรัด ให้มันพันรอบตัวโดยที่ไม่ทันสังเกต ไม่ได้เฉลียวใจ เพราะคิดว่ามันไม่มีพิษภัย แต่ลืมไปว่ามันก็สามารถกินเราได้เช่นกัน เช่นเดียวกับการที่เราเอาตัวเข้าไปในชีวิตของใครคนหนึ่ง ได้ทำความรู้จักแล้ว เอาตัวเข้าไปข้องเกี่ยวไปผูกพันแล้ว ก็ไม่อาจสลัดทิ้งได้โดยง่าย ถึงแม้เราจะพยายามที่จะทอดถอนตัวออกมาแค่ไหน ก็ไม่อาจหลีกหนีได้พ้น
