My neighborhood was usually quiet, but tonight it felt like I was being watched. My hands trembled as I reached for the phone, ready to dial 911. Before I could press the first digit, a figure emerged from the shadows—a tall silhouette moving with purpose. My breath caught in my throat. Was it Liam? Had he come back, drawn by some lingering guilt or regret? The figure drew closer, and I squinted, trying to make out details in the darkness. It wasn't Liam. It was a woman—a stranger, dressed in dark clothing, her face obscured by the hood of her jacket. Fear pulsed through me. What did she want?

He walked straight to Alessia's room and pushed the door open. Empty. Her things were gone. He stood there for a moment. On the desk lay an envelope. His hands shook as he picked it up. He took a breath and opened it. Inside were two documents. The first was a medical report confirming a miscarriage. Alessia Moretti's name was on it. The date was the day of the crash. He stared at the paper until the words blurred. She had been pregnant. She had called him ninety-nine times because she was bleeding.

"I have something urgent. I'll come see you tonight. You're out of danger now. Let's leave the past in the past." In my head I almost laughed. “Yes. Let's leave all of it in the past.” Not long after he left, an Instagram notification lit up my phone. Sheila had tagged me in a video. She was in a nearly transparent white dress, kissing Julian at a pool party. So that was the urgent business. Watching it, I felt nothing. They could have been strangers. I opened a voice recorder and called every man who had been in those photos with Sheila. One by one, I got each of them on the record confirming the photos were real, and confirming the woman in them was Sheila.

"No... It can't be..." Her voice was a whisper, her entire belief system shattering around her. Was that the 'sweet and innocent' Elliot she had always talked about? Was he really the guy she had wrecked my life for? Just then, a few cops showed up, heading straight for Elliot, who was trying to sneak out of a corner. "Mr. Baker, you're under suspicion for slander, stealing trade secrets, and encouraging violence. You need to come with us." Elliot's screams echoed as they hauled him off. As he passed Jennifer, he yelled, "Jennifer, help me! I did it all for you! It was love that made me do it!"

Suddenly, Lila yelled from downstairs, "Caleb! The food's burning!" He responded right away and ran back downstairs. Keeping my composure, I stepped into the main bedroom. I thought nothing Caleb did for Lila would surprise me anymore—until I found a bra there that wasn't mine. "Oh! You found it!" Lila exclaimed, suddenly appearing in the bedroom. She plucked the bra from my hand and said, "Thank you for finding my bra, Sienna. This one was personally picked out for me by Ca—by a good friend. With how thoughtful Caleb is, I'm sure you've had a similar experience too, right?"

However, she somehow made it look like I was the bad guy. I tried hard to keep down the fear and anger bubbling up inside me. "I'm sorry, Seth. I missed you so much that I forgot to knock." Seth was still a bit mad. "What took you so long?" My eyes started to tear up. "I heard that chicken soup tastes better if you let it cook a bit longer. That's why I'm late, Seth. Don't be mad, okay?" Janice snuggled up to Seth, blinking her big, doe-like eyes. "Seth, did you know Nevaeh climbed a snowy mountain just to get snowmelt for you?

“Move out the way.“ Liam whispered as the stranger stalked towards us, but I didn't. As his bony fingers grabbed my arm, beads of sweat began to form on my forehead. His grip was unbelievably strong, setting my whole body on fire. He tightened his grip, and I heard a slight crack. My bones. I fell on my knees. Liam tried to push the stranger, but he was tossed away like a ragged doll, his back slamming hard against a locker. The stranger's nails sank into my flesh, drawing out some of my blood. “You shouldn't have picked him up.”

He pressed his influence, both within his mafia empire and throughout the city, to unearth any trace of the man's whereabouts. In the shadows of the city's underbelly, alliances were tested, and deals struck. Abaddon's reputation cast a long, unyielding shadow, and even those who might possess knowledge of the intruder dared not withhold it. Finally, a breakthrough materialized, a name whispered in the darkest corners of the criminal underworld. The intruder who had violated Aurelia's sanctuary bore the name Marco Evans. Initial findings painted him as an inconspicuous figure—a career criminal with a penchant for burglary and a lengthy rap sheet of misdemeanors. He had no connections to crim

Strangers With Benefits . Written by Pink-Butterfly . Episode 35: Who tops ? . Nathan was pretty much fuming as he stomped up the stairs to his house to slam the door open, kicking his shoes off and throwing his bag on the floor next to them. His furrowed eyebrows twitched when he noticed an unfamiliar pair of shoes next to his mother's. If his mood had been rotten before, this sudden stranger's visit was certainly not helping. The smell of lamb skewers though, did.
