Nathan held my hand again and helped me off. We checked in and were directed towards the stairs. He didn't let go as he led me to a stairs going into the water with no ending in sight. The stairs were illuminated with beautiful chandeliers and I couldn't help but stare. We finally got to the bottom of the stairs and I was awestruck. "Welcome to Subsix. It's the biggest nightclub Maldives has. Be warned though, we're six metres below the water." Nathan said to me. I couldn't find the words to reply him.

“I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!” But even as I say it, I know it’s a lie. I could never hate him, no matter how badly I want to. Even now, with my heart lying shattered at my feet, I love him. God help me, I’ll always love him. Gradually, my blows weaken, my anger dissipating like mist under the heat of the sun. I collapse against him, my forehead pressed to his chest, my tears soaking into his shirt. The fabric is soft against my skin, the steady thrum of his heartbeat an achingly familiar rhythm beneath my cheek.

I pulled out my SIM card, snapped it cleanly in two, and let it fall into the trash, severing the last thread. I boarded the plane and turned off my phone. As the plane rose into the sky, I looked down at the city beneath the clouds, watching the place that held all my pain slowly fade from view. Silently, I whispered farewell to the life I once knew. … Ryan held his phone, waiting for a reply that never came. The screen went dark, and he pressed it to wake it again.

As time passed, feelings developed between us. However, the moment we announced our relationship, Scarlett's mother vehemently opposed it. That was when I learned that Scarlett was actually the heir to the Hayes Corporation, worth billions. I was just an ordinary office worker. We were not from the same world. I felt inferior at the time, thinking I was not good enough for Scarlett, but somehow Grandma had a connection with the Hayes family.

his fingers trace idle patterns on her hip while he waits for her answer, content just to hold her like this while she relaxes against him. “Ohhh, a detective novel,” Harper said playfully and her gaze roamed over the book cover for the novel ‘The orphanage by the Lake’ by Daniel G. Miller. The title is written in large white capital letters at the top of the cover, where ‘ORPHANAGE’ and ‘LAKE’ appears in larger font. The centre of the cover features a large, old mansion situated directly beside a lake. The mansion appears symmetrical, with multiple windows and several chimneys rising from the roof. One or two windows glows with warm yellow light, standing out against the otherwise dark buil

My heart skipped a beat, my tears moist right then. I dropped to a crouch and held him, pressing my ear against his chest again. I could hear his heartbeat, thumping powerfully through his thin shirt. It was such a familiar sensation. It was Stan's heartbeat. As I closed my eyes, my tears flowed ever so quietly.

A kitchen, huge TV lounge decorated with a wall TV screen that was att

The couch was near the furthest place in the room from the light in the corner of the room. Though it was open, this was a corner that was just for him to relax and unwind during the day. He knew the placement was off, but it worked for him. “I think you, out of everyone in the world, need one person who can show you how to love again.”

They say home is where the heart resides, where the roots dig deep and the soul finds comfort. If that's the case, then Harmony City is my home, my heart, my roots, my soul. My bloodline has lived and died in this city's belly, a city as ironic as its name, steeped in crime and chaos, a God-forsaken cesspool of human struggle that has been anything but harmonious for generations.
