“Get away from me!” Stephanie growled, pushing John away from herself with all the strength she could muster. Her voice was filled with a raw, visceral power that sent a shiver down his spine. She shook her head vigorously, taking a step backward as if the very closeness to him burned her skin. “How dare you? How dare you think that you can even kiss me?” she shouted, her voice cracking with a mixture of rage and disbelief. Stephanie’s eyes flared with a fiery intensity, reflecting a storm of emotions that left John utterly baffled. “Answer me, how dare you? What stupid love are you talking about?!” Her voice rose to a fever pitch, each word dripping with venom. Her eyes, wide and wild, glared at John with a fury that seemed almost otherworldly. They shone like thunderbolts, crackling with barely restrained rage. “But I love…” John began, his voice soft and pleading, desperate to bridge the chasm that had suddenly yawned between them. He took a tentative step forward, his heart

“Tell me, what did you just say right now?” Stephanie turned and came to John with widened eyes. It was as though she wanted to rip the truth from him.“How dare you say that Jeffery does not love me and he is only using me?” Stephanie’s voice rose, each word dripping with anger and righteous fury, her entire being ablaze with a passion that mirrored the flames of her irritation.John stood his ground, his expression unreadable, a mask of calm indifference masking the turbulent storm fuming within him. He savored the tension that crackled in the air between them, reveling in the power he held over Stephanie’s emotions, the puppet master pulling the strings of her heart with malicious glee.“I am not lying, and I have no need to lie against Jeffery,” John replied coolly, his voice a smooth silk thread weaving its way through the chaos of Stephanie’s mind. “I just asked a question. What if Jeffery does not really love you just like you love and cherish him? What if he is only using you

After John ended the call with Zack, he sat back on his bed, still staring at the ceiling. The silence in the room was deafening, the weight of recent events pressing down on him. His mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions, each one more confusing than the last. Just as he was beginning to lose himself in this storm, his phone rang again, shattering the fragile quiet.He picked up his phone and checked the caller ID. His eyes narrowed as he saw it was Miss B calling. His heart skipped a beat, and a wave of unease washed over him.“Elizabeth, I am sorry I can’t talk to you now,” John whispered to himself, his voice barely audible. He sighed deeply, feeling a pang of guilt as he dropped the phone onto the bed. There was so much happening, and he needed to handle things on his own without involving Miss B.Miss B kept calling a couple more times, each ring a reminder of the unresolved tension between them. John ignored the calls, his resolve firm, until finally, she sent a text m

“Who are you, and why are you asking me this question?” Claire demanded, her eyes narrowed with suspicion. She could sense something off about this stranger who appeared out of nowhere, intruding into her life in the dead of night, probing into her personal affairs. The darkness around her seemed to amplify the tension, making her acutely aware of every rustle and shadow.John scratched his head, desperately searching for the right words to say. “I am…” he started, but then he caught himself. He couldn’t afford to blow his cover. If Jeffrey or Gabriel found out that he knew Gabriel had a wife, it could ruin everything.“That’s nothing to worry about,” he said, trying to sound confident despite the anxiety twisting in his gut. “Just tell me, are you Gabriel Blake’s wife?”Claire’s heart pounded in her chest. She felt a surge of anger mixed with fear. Who was this man to come into her life and ask such a personal question? She looked him over, noticing the way his eyes darted around ne

The next day, John didn’t waste any time. He rushed over to Claire’s house, his heart pounding with a mix of anxiety and determination. He stood outside, concealed by the shadows of a large oak tree, waiting for the moment she would come out. He knew better than to approach her at the door; he didn’t want to scare her into calling the police.John’s plan hinged on Claire taking her child to school. He hoped that the little girl he had seen with her yesterday would be leaving soon. He waited, each second stretching out like an eternity, his breath shallow and quick. The morning air was cool and crisp, and he could hear the distant hum of traffic and the chirping of birds, but all his senses were focused on the house.After what felt like forever, but was only thirty minutes, the front door finally opened. Claire and her child stepped out into the morning light. Claire’s face was serene, her eyes crinkled in a gentle smile as she held her daughter’s hand. The little girl, a spitting ima

“What do you want from me and my child?” Claire asked, her voice trembling with barely contained fear. She gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning white, as she drove the car gently through the dark, winding road. The tension that enveloped her was palpable, a tangible force that seemed to tighten the very air around them. She tightened her grip on the steering wheel, her anxiety making her every movement rigid and deliberate.John, seated beside her, turned and studied her carefully. He noticed the glistening beads of sweat trickling down her face, tracing erratic paths over her pale skin. Her eyes were wide with fear, darting from the road to him and back again, as if expecting him to pounce at any moment. The dim light from the dashboard cast eerie shadows across her features, accentuating the lines of worry etched into her face.John shifted his gaze to the backseat, where Claire’s child sat, a small, fragile figure in the dim light. The child’s eyes were wide wit

John was completely astounded by the fact that Claire also knew that Gabriel Blake, her husband, was gay. He hadn’t expected her to know, and so he had wanted to use it as a tool against Gabriel Blake. But it was surprising that she already knew.John and Claire did not have another conversation regarding that until they had dropped the child off at school. Claire drove and parked closer to a coffee shop. The atmosphere between them was tense and heavy with unspoken words. They walked inside the coffee shop, and after ordering their drinks, they found a quiet corner to sit down.Claire stared out the window, her fingers wrapped tightly around her coffee cup. John could see the weariness in her eyes, the silent battle she was fighting within herself. He took a deep breath, trying to gather his thoughts. He needed answers, but he also realized he needed to approach this carefully.“Do you mean you really know that your husband is gay?” John asked, facing Claire. She faced forward instea
