Stranger In The House Novels & Stories

“I know something is off. That’s not Laurel upstairs. Her mannerisms are all wrong. Her habits. Her eyes. The handwriting style on Morel's school note last week did not resemble Laurel's handwriting. I squeezed the stair railing harder while my blood turned to ice. Dr. Shawty urged me to lower my voice while scanning the area quickly. You may be correct but you shouldn’t accuse people like that. It’s more complicated than you think.” My legs trembled. He was going to tell her. He was about to expose me! “Complicated?” Lillian scoffed. “My son’s been living with a stranger! My grandson addresses a woman as ‘Mommy’ whom he just met and who remains unaware of his bedtime schedule. I couldn’t li

He rubbed her cheek and stared her down in worry, “are you okay?” She shook her head and turned to me, “there's a strange woman in the house and she claims it's her home.” Enraged by what was playing out in front of me, I charged at her with a raised hand, ready to smack her. She was the fucking stranger in my home and there she stood refering to me as the freaking stranger. “You fucking bitch!” She shrieked and further moved into Fred and just when I thought this was a cruel joke that Fred was yet to explain, he caught my hand with blazing eyes. The warning in his eyes shattered my heart to smithereens.

Strangely, it had gone undetected, which made the situation troubling. The man’s expression remained impassive. His eyes indicated that his thoughts were wandering. Suddenly, he remembered something that oddly troubled him. The man immediately stood up and left his office. As he passed through the main area of his home, he saw his wife sitting on the sofa, intently watching the TV. Her face clearly showed she was deeply focused on something. Jaxter, who had initially intended to head to the company he had left for several days, briefly diverted his steps toward his wife, curious about what was capturing her attention. The guards who had been following him paused in the hallway. "What are you

Hurry now" I didn't feel excited…her text didn't work a smile to my lips. I sluggishly walked downstairs, heading to the living that seemed to stretch and change position at every step I took. “What is it?" My eyes sparked, noticing the strange cologne that was seductively commanding. A stranger was in our house. She'd let a stranger into the house. "How many I help you, sir?” Heaven knows it took every ounce of strength and self-control to speak politely but the fucker’s head remained bent to the floor. I ignored Valerie’s smile, wondering why she had a smile as wide as that on her face.

I hardly got to watch Tv before. We were few minutes into the movie when I started feeling odd. I felt the presence of some people that was not from here around the house. "Nic …Nic, I'm not feeling too good." I said looking around the sitting room. "What? What are you talking about?" She asked sitting up in the couch. "There are some strange people around the house." I replied standing up. We needed to leave this place right now. I looked towards her direction and she had her phone on her ear. She was calling someone. Suddenly, there was a knock on the main door. I stilled and my body went rigid.

"I don't really have much to share. What do you want to know about me?" I thought for a moment before answering. "Where do you live?" "Two houses down the street from here." "What's your name?" "What's yours?" I didn't answer. He laughed again. "When are you going inside?" "When they stop," I responded. "How about you? When are you going home?" The stranger shrugged and gestured to my house. "When they stop, I guess." "Tell me something more," I said. "Share something that no one else knows about you."

Otherwise, I might end up giving in to him before Samuel came. At this thought, I began to squirm frantically. I wanted to break free from his hold. Unexpectedly, something went wrong at this moment. The toy I had tucked inside my tracksuit fell to the ground during my squirming. Inside the grove, there was no other sound except our breathing. It was extremely quiet. When the toy hit the ground, the man immediately heard it. “I didn’t expect you to be this bold…” He clicked his tongue in mock admiration for a few seconds before bending down and picking up the toy.

“Sorry, I went upstairs to find a toilet. And I'm lost. It's a very big house." Suddenly the woman appeared from upstairs smiling strangely at me. I looked at her with a confused and suspicious face. Doesn't she have manners? She should have waited for me to come and ask my permission to use the toilet in this house. After all she is a guest in this house. She has no right to enter my house without my permission. And she went upstairs without telling me first. There was my room and Kane's. “Oh, you're looking for a toilet. All right, that's okay. By the way, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be going to the office?"

She looked at him closely, and there was not the slightest smile on his face. “You’ve helped me a lot, but that doesn’t mean I allow you to go in and out of my house at will, so... no, I don’t want any strangers in my house.” The emphasis on the word ‘stranger’ seems to refer to him, who doesn’t seem offended at all. “Alright, I’m just making an offer,” said the man who walked her all the way to the door. And, without saying goodbye, the girl shut her front door without making small talk with Hagen, who was standing right on the doorsteps.

"And you will not win this fight. It is my will that you go with these soldiers, and as my apprentice you must obey. As much as it pains me, past this night, you will not be allowed shelter in my house." There was a finality in her voice that bludgeoned Iris's heart, and suddenly the shelf of fine glass bowls, the drawers of neatly sorted candles, the strings of garlic draped over the wooden crossbeam, all of it, all the things Iris had grown up with and built her world around, seemed foreign and filled her mouth with the taste of ashes. Shoving herself away from the table, her chair screeching against the floor, Iris ran out the door before Mother Hall could see her tears and sought solace
