The sky was clear, and they were all excited to spend the day together as a family. After getting dressed and packing their bags, they loaded the car with everything they needed: sunscreen, snacks, toys for Rahilla, and even a portable grill for lunch. They were ready for a fun-filled day outdoors.Their first stop was a nearby park. Valle parked the car, and they found a perfect spot under a big shady tree. They spread out a blanket on the grass, and Alexa unpacked some toys for Rahilla. The baby giggled happily as Alexa played with her. Valle, on the other hand, got the portable grill ready to cook some burgers and hot dogs for lunch.As Valle prepared the food, he and Alexa chatted and laughed, enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The gentle breeze blew through the trees, rustling the leaves and making the perfect background noise to their family outing. Rahilla’s laughter echoed around them as she

Chapter: ENJOY IT WHILE IT LASTSThe morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow across the room, gently illuminating Alexa’s peaceful face as she lay asleep. Valle sat quietly on the edge of the bed, watching her, his heart swelling with affection. The sunlight played upon her skin, and Valle couldn't help but be captivated by the sight of her. He marveled at how peaceful she looked, her chest rising and falling in the gentle rhythm of sleep. A small smile tugged at the corner of his lips, reflecting the warmth and love he felt for her—the woman who had captured his heart completely.As the sunlight grew brighter, Alexa stirred, her eyes slowly fluttering open. She met Valle’s gaze, and a soft blush crept across her cheeks as she realized he had been watching her. “Good morning,” Valle murmured with a tender smile, his fingers gently brushing her cheek.Alexa returned his smile, still a bit shy from his gaze. “Good morning,” she replied softly, her eyes momentarily lowering in a bashful gesture.V

Chapter: TIMES UPValle woke with a start, his heart pounding in his chest, his skin damp with sweat. He sat up quickly, gasping for air, still reeling from the nightmare that had gripped him. It felt so real, so vivid. In the dream, he had seen Alexa—his love—drowning in a swimming pool. Panic had surged through him, and he had sprinted towards her to help, only to be struck by a sudden, sharp pain in his chest. He turned, and there was Leonard, standing there with a twisted smile on his face and a gun pointed at him."Time’s up," Leonard had sneered, his hand steady as he pointed the weapon towards Alexa. But just as the gun fired, Valle had jolted awake, his body trembling in terror.Breathing heavily, Valle tried to shake off the lingering fear, but it clung to him. He wiped the sweat from his brow, his hands shaking. Then, suddenly, he heard Alexa’s voice echo in his mind, a desperate scream that sent a chill down his spine.Without wasting another second, Valle leaped out of bed. The fear from th

Chapter: NO ONE WILL STAND IN MY WAYAs Leonard stepped out of the monitoring room, a sinister grin crept across his face, twisting his otherwise calm features. The dim light in the hallway cast long shadows, accentuating the dark satisfaction in his eyes. Slowly, he made his way to his bedroom, where two additional versions of himself stood motionless, waiting.He pulled a small remote from his pocket, the device cold in his hand, and pressed a button. Instantly, the two clones powered down with a faint mechanical hum, their lifeless forms now resembling mannequins. Leonard’s grin widened as he stood over them, a sense of triumph swelling inside him.A laugh bubbled up from deep within, and soon, he was consumed by maniacal laughter, his voice echoing off the walls of the dimly lit room. He had done it. He had succeeded where others had failed, where his mentor had failed."I told you, didn’t I?" Leonard muttered to the shadows, his voice filled with conviction. "I told you, Mr. Sampson, that I would become the greatest

Chapter: RUIN EVERYTHING Valle walked quickly toward Alexa’s house, his heart pounding and his mind swirling with confusion and fear. His steps echoed in the quiet street as a storm of questions raged in his head. Who was Leonard really? How could he have been at his house and at Alexa’s place at the same time? Something was very wrong, and he needed answers.As he reached Alexa’s front door, he didn’t bother to knock. The urgency of the situation pushed him to act without thinking. His hand moved instinctively to push the door open, and it swung wide with a soft creak. Valle stepped inside, his eyes immediately searching for Alexa. She was in the living room, sitting on the couch with a cup of tea in her hands, clearly startled by his abrupt entrance. Valle wasted no time, his words rushing out before he could stop them. “Alexa, you have to listen to me. Leonard is not who you think he is. I just came from his house, and something is very wrong. He’s dangerous.”Alexa blinked at him, confused and caught off

Chapter: WHO ARE YOU?It was late into the night when Alexa and Valle dragged Leonard into Alexa's small living room, struggling under his heavy weight. Leonard had passed out cold after drinking too much, his usually sharp features softened by the stupor of alcohol. His head lolled back as they managed to hoist him onto the couch, his body slumping awkwardly as they stepped back, both breathing heavily from the effort. The room was dimly lit, casting long shadows that made the air feel thick and suffocating. Alexa stood back, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear as she glanced nervously at Leonard’s unconscious form. Valle, standing on the other side of the room, leaned against the wall, his arms crossed. The silence between them was palpable, thick with unspoken tension. Alexa couldn’t meet Valle’s eyes, and he didn’t seem interested in offering any comforting words. They had been friends for years, but something felt different tonight. Something was shifting, and neither of them knew how to handle

Chapter: Take your wealthMaria’s breath quickened as Mateo and Lilah headed for the door. The thought of them talking alone sent a jolt of panic through her. If they were alone, Lilah could easily weave her lies, twist the truth, and win Mateo over again. She couldn’t allow that to happen. She stepped forward, her voice louder than before, almost frantic.“Mateo!” she called, her eyes wide with desperation. He slowed but didn’t stop. “Mateo, wait. You can’t talk to her alone. It’s a mistake. She’ll manipulate you! She’s done it before, don’t let her do it again.”Mateo paused, his hand still on the door handle, but he didn’t move to open it. The tension in the room was thick, and he turned slowly to face Lilah. His expression was conflicted, torn between the love he’d felt and the doubt Maria had planted in his heart.“Lilah,” he said quietly, his voice strained, “are you Amelia?”The room seemed to freeze. Lilah turned her head, her eyes locking onto Maria, who now had a smug look on her face. Maria stood wi

Chapter: She's Amelia Mateo sat at his small wooden table, a flickering candle casting soft shadows on the walls of his cramped room. The smell of roasted chicken filled the air, mixing with the faint aroma of herbs. He took a bite, savoring the crispy skin and tender meat, while his laptop sat open in front of him, the screen illuminating his face in the dim light. On the other end of the call was Lilah, her bright smile lighting up his evening.“Are you eating again?” Lilah laughed, her voice warm and teasing.Mateo chuckled, wiping his mouth with a napkin. “Guilty as charged. I can’t help it if I enjoy good food.”“You’re going to turn into a chicken soon,” she joked, her eyes sparkling through the screen.He grinned at her, feeling a warmth spread through him. “Well, if it means I get to see you every day, I’d happily become a chicken.”Lilah rolled her eyes playfully. “Flattery will get you nowhere, Mateo. But keep trying.”As they continued their light-hearted banter, Mateo leaned back in his chair,

Chapter: expose herMateo and Lilah were still in the office. They were busy gathering their things to leave for the day when suddenly, the door burst open with a loud crash, rattling the windows. Maria stormed in, her face twisted in anger. Her eyes were fixed on Lilah, filled with a rage that had been building for weeks. Without thinking, she ran towards Lilah, her fist ready to hit.But before Maria could reach her, Mateo reacted quickly. He stepped in front of her, his strong arm blocking her attack. With a powerful shove, he pushed Maria aside, and she flew into a nearby desk. The hard hit knocked the breath out of her, and she gasped, struggling to catch her breath.“If you ever touch her, I will make sure you are locked up for assault,” Mateo warned, his voice firm and cold. His eyes burned with protective anger, showing how serious he was. Maria's disbelief washed over her, contrasting sharply with the shock on her face.“Are you defending her? Over me?” Maria exclaimed, her voice shaky as she st

Chapter: leave the company The room was dimly lit, the only sound the soft hum of the air conditioner. Mateo, Santiago, Juan, and Logan sat around the round table, their faces illuminated only by the faint glow of the table lamp.Mateo's expression was a mask of calmness, his eyes fixed on the table as if daring anyone to speak. Santiago's face was stern, his jaw clenched in frustration. Juan's eyes darted back and forth, his brow furrowed in concern. Logan's face was twisted in a scowl, his arms crossed over his chest."Can I know why I've been summoned?" Mateo asked, his voice firm but polite, breaking the silence. "I am a busy man and I don't have time for idle sitting."Logan snickered, a sly grin spreading across his face. "Let's see how busy you'll be from today," he said, his voice dripping with malice.The door opened, and a lady walked in, carrying a stack of documents. Juan rose to collect them, his movements swift and silent. The lady departed as swiftly as she arrived, leaving behind an uncomfortab

She couldn't believe Mateo had disrespected her so blatantly, spending the night with his mistress. The thought of it made her skin crawl.As she paced, her mind racing with thoughts of betrayal and hurt, it dawned on her that those nights he had claimed to be working late, he might have been with her.
