Susan was still seated by the head of the bed, where her husband had left her earlier. She was rubbing her finger in circles on her daughter’s forehead. Elise’s eyes drew to a close and she was almost falling asleep when she heard a loud gasp from her mother. Her eyes opened and began to dart around. Cold sweat broke out from her forehead. Her mother had stood up from where she was and was now trying to get past her father.“Allow me to face him myself, please!” She said in a slightly raised voice.James placed his hands on her shoulder and was firmly trying to take her away from where Richard stood.“I have always had a bad feeling about you, Richard!” She cried in a bitter voice “Just one night you failed to carry out your duty as my daughter’s security personnel.

That night, Elise had no one to keep her company in the hospital room as her father had left a while earlier. She woke up quite early the following morning to the sound of a nurse arranging some medical equipment on the take beside her.“Hello!” The nurse greeted me in a loud, cheerful voice. She had double dimples on her cheek. Her eyes shone with delight as she spoke to Elise.“Hi” Elise muttered“ You’re up already?” Her smile broke into a grin. It was so contagious that Elise smiled back. “I came in here to administer your final dose of medications. You’ll be leaving today, Elise”Elise nodded. “I Know”“From the look of things, you’re not strong enough to make it out of the hospital on your own.”“Someone will drive me home” Elise blurted, partly hoping that the overly friendly nurse wouldn’t pry any further and ask her about the person that would be coming to pick her up. The nurse didn’t, instead, she nodded and began to prepare Elise for another shot of the injections.She was

When Richard took her home, and he helped her out of the car, he decided to stay behind at the residence and wait for James to return from his business trip. When he waited in the large, quiet living room, he picked up an old workout book that lay on one of the couches.Richard started to skim through the pages of the book, slowly getting absorbed in the book and he didn’t realize when time flew by. Soon, it was evening and the clouds had gathered outside. Richard checked his wristwatch for the time. It was almost 6:30 pm. As Richard stood up to head out of the living room, the door opened and James walked into the house.He had a tired smile on his face.

She was trying to explain the difficulty that she had experienced on the test and she wondered if she was going to scale through to the top three students.Richard was calm. The test was quite easy for him and he didn’t seem to understand why the other students were all worked up about their scores on the test.

Later that evening, Richard decided to meet up with Niko at his apartment. He took a bus from the school’s dormitory to the highway where his old apartment was. There was a light drizzle and the street was mostly deserted. Most of the streetlights had gone off, only a few shone. Once in a while, a lone car would drive pass. He threw a quick glance at his wristwatch.9pm. A coffee shop was open down the road and some teenagers were huddled by the door, smoking. The street was strangely quiet and quite deserted. It wasn’t only because of the light rain, but because it was already late. The bus stopped a few distance away from his regular stop and he got off.As soon as he got down from the bus, a sudden pang of regret hit him.Damn it! He cursed under his breath. The light rain was going to make him wet because he had not gone along with his umbrella. How could he have forgotten so fast? He fumed, kicking his feet against a stubble of grass.The air was chilling and he wrapped hi

Richard then told her that she should call him as soon as she as she got to school.He decided to go to the school’s cafeteria that morning to get breakfast. He felt a bit guilty that he was skipping breakfast most of the last few days because he had gotten too caught up with the activities going on in his life.He strolled into the cafeteria, trying to stifle a yawn that was going up his throat.His stomach growled quietly within him and he held on to the bag that was slung from his left shoulder. Fortunately, it was quite early in the morning and there were no queues in front of the food vendors; rather, a few students hung around trying to get their meals.Richard scabbed the large hall of the cafeteria. There were more empty tables that there were occupi

As Richard walked out of the cafeteria, He got a message from Elise that she had just gotten to school.He rolled his eyes in anger and sent a reply to her that he was coming after her. Then, he slipped his phone into his pocket and started walking towards the school’s main gate.He still did not understand why Elise picked up this new habit of coming to school about an hour late. He had sighted her from a distance as she alighted from her car and he waited for her to walk a while before he shook his position behind her, as he trailed her.She wasn’t with any handbag that morning and as she walked, her hands swung by her side. Her hair bounced behind her as she walked.When they arrived at class, the lecturer had almost completed the lessons for the morning and he frowned at Elise and Richard as they walked into the hall.Richard went to his usual spot at the back of the hall.

The next few days went by in a whir of emotions for Elise and Richard. As Richard drove down the sunny road, Elise’s nerves were palpable. She fidgeted with her fingers and sighed deeply. “Are you okay?”Elise spoke up, her voice laced with worry. “My Mom is going to be disappointed in me, she had always envisioned something else for me.”Richard turned and met her eyes. “We have nothing to lose, Elise. We love each other, and that’s all that matters. Elise, don’t worry. It’ll be okay. We’ve got this.”“I just don’t want her to be disappointed in me. I feel like I should have told her before now,” Elise replied, her voice wavering.Richard took one hand off the steering wheel to reach over and take Elise’s hand.“She loves you, Elise. She’ll be happy for you once she sees how happy we are.”Elise squeezed Richard’s hand and smiled. “You’re right. I’m probably just overthinking it.”As they arrived at the residence, they were welcomed by the high gates that led to the luxurious mansi

James’ wife, Susan, had been sitting quietly during Richard’s announcement, but as soon as he spoke the words “Hûlio is my father,” her eyes widened in shock. She had always assumed Richard was a lost cause, coming from a poor family and with no connections to speak of. But now, it seemed, he was from a wealthy bloodline.Susan’s first instinct was to make up for her previous bad character by offering something valuable to Richard. “Richard, my daughter Elise is also unmarried. I propose that you take her as your wife,” she said, smiling sweetly.Richard was taken aback by the sudden proposal. He had been secretly dating Elise for months, but Susan didn’t know that. He shook his head, declining politely. “Thank you for the offer, but I cannot accept. I have other plans.”Susan’s smile faltered for a moment before she put on a gracious façade once again. “Of course, I understand. We will do everything we can to help you reconnect with your family,” she said, still trying to make up for

The rich office of Hûlio was a grand affair, decked with lavish furnishings and ornate decorations. The walls were adorned with artwork and photographs of his family, giving a glimpse into the life of luxury that he lived. A large mahogany desk dominated the center of the room, on which sat an array of expensive gadgets and trinkets.Hûlio sat at his desk, pouring over old family documents when Rue entered the room.“Sir, I received a rather peculiar email today,” she said.Hûlio looked up from the papers and raised a questioning eyebrow.“It seems that an anonymous person claims to have found your lost son,” Rue continued.Hûlio’s eyes widened in surprise. “My son? But he was kidnapped when he was only 10 years old. How could he be found now?”“That’s what the sender of the email claims, sir. They are requesting a meeting at an open field to prove their claims,” Rue explained. Hûlio leaned back in his chair and lit a cigarette, his thoughts racing. Could this be real? Could his long

As Elise stepped into her room, she closed the door behind her, making sure that her boyfriend Richard’s palm tree-patterned shirt was folded and placed beside her bed. The dim light from the bedside lamp created a peaceful atmosphere that made her feel relaxed. The apartment was small but cozy, with walls decorated with various paintings of the sunset, flowers, and the Eiffel Tower. She walked towards the mirror, and she could see her reflection, appreciating how her olive-toned skin glowed. She was wearing a cream tank top and her hair was tied in a bun.As she began her skincare routine, she applied her favorite cleanser in circular motions, ensuring it was thoroughly massaged into her skin. A faint fragrance of lavender from the lotion she was using soon filled the room. She enjoyed the calmness of the room as the music from the speaker on the shelf played softly in the background.As she continued massaging her face, her phone rang. Elise hesitated, assuming it was probably her

As Elise cuddled close to Richard, she felt the warmth of his body and the softness of the blanket they shared. They made small talk about the movie, commenting on the plot and the scares. Despite the creepy atmosphere, they both felt relaxed in each other’s company.However, as Richard stayed up after Elise went to bed, the mood in the room changed. His thoughts turned to the stranger he had bumped into at the airport, and the picture of his face kept flashing in his mind. The news about Sly being a direct heir of Hulio Adiento added to the sense of unease in the room. The image of Hulio’s face on the TV screen sent shivers down Richard’s spine as he tried to make sense of the coincidence.Lost in thought, Richard eventually headed to bed with a sinking feeling, wondering what the next day would bring.As Richard stepped out of his house, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and a cool breeze blew across his face. He closed the door behind him, took a deep breath and started walk

His room was dark and messy, with clothes piled up on the floor and empty bottles scattered around. He didn’t care about anything anymore, not even himself.His thoughts were disturbed, swirling around in his head like a storm. He couldn’t believe what he had done, and he didn’t know how to face the consequences. All he knew was that he was a monster, and that he deserved to be punishedAfter two days of locking himself in his apartment he decided to speak up about what he has done and he visited his family house very early the following morning.One thing that had always in endeared him to this house where he spent most of his childhood was that it reeked of wealth. Sly’s family home was a mansion surrounded by lush green gardens, a swimming pool, and a fleet of luxury cars parked outside. The front door was adorned with a grand entrance, and the marble floors shimmer

It took a while before he could lift her off the wet ground and trudge through the quiet woods to the main road where his police vehicle had been parked. He carefully opened it up and out her in the back seat before he ran over to the other side of the car and got into the driver’s seat.He took her to the hospital immediately, where she was treated for her injuries and given a rape kit.As she lay in the hospital bed, Elise’s mind was consumed by the horror of what had happened. She couldn’t believe that Sly, someone she had trusted so deeply, could have done something so vile.The following morning, Hanna laid on the hospital bed, her body feeling violated and her mind consumed with the memory of the brutal attack.

The walls were painted a pale blue, and there was a small window that looked out onto

He tugged harder on her belt, her body pressing up further against his. He grabbed her hair in his fist and balled it up. He drew her head back and looked at her. She began to cry, to plead.“Please don’t,” She said. “Please.”“Shut up.”He kissed her again and this time, he inserted his tongue in her mouth. By pleading, she had left herself open to this. Again he pulled her head back roughly. “Kiss back,” he said.And I did.When he was satisfied, he stopped and tried to work the latch on Her belt. It was a belt with a strange buckle and he couldn’t figure it out. To have him let go of her, for him to leave her alone, she said, “Let me, I’ll do it.”He watched her.When she was done, he unzipped the jeans she wore.“Now take off your shirt.”She had a cardigan sweater on. She took that off. He reached over to help unbutton her shirt. He fumbled.“I’ll do it,” She said again.She unbuttoned the oxford-cloth shirt and, like the cardigan, She peeled it back from her body. It was like

He stated down at her with so much intensity in his eyes.It terrified the hell out of her as crossed both legs over her and sat on her thigh.“What are you trying to do? I need—” She got cut off as his strong palms came heavily on her mouth, sitting out her voice. “Hanna!” Sly growled. “Can you not see that I am madly in love with you?” He said His voice reverberated through the woods and bounded back to them.Cold sweat trickled down the Hanna’s neck as she locked eyes with himShe was numb.He released his hand from her mouth.I screamed. Quickly. Abruptly.The struggle began. She rose her feet in difficulty.He covered her mouth again. He kneed her in the back of her legs so that she would fall down. “You don’t get it, Hanna. I have fallen in love with you and if I don’t taste you first I will not be happy when I leave the island” He said in a bitter voice She struggled some more, trying to push off his weight from her almost tired body.His threat rang out into the air.
