"Serena...""Serena," her father Blackwood's voice, was calm and urgent, outside the cabin door. He tapped his right hand, lightly on the polished wood. "Serena, Come on, dear. It's time. Everyone is waiting for you."No response.He tried again, a little hard this time; the sound echoed too loudly in the empty hallway. "Serena? Are you alright?"It's Dad; please open the door."Still Silent...He gripped the doorknob tighter to unlock it, but it remained locked, and panic clawed at his throat. He glanced around the silent hallway. Where had she gone? Or did something happen inside? he doubted. He folded his sleeve edge and pulled out his phone from his lower pants. He searched for Damien's number.He hesitated to make a call, then finally pressed the call button, holding the phone to his ear, the dial ring cut through the air, his eyes were restless constantly scanning the surroundings, frown lines etched around his eyes. "Son," he said, his voice crackling with static. "Serena's roo

Emiko shifted her imagination at 8:00 AM; the ship buzzed with activity as the wedding preparations reached their peak.William's mother approached Emiko in the rushed hallway, and her concern was evident. "Is the bride ready?"Emiko stood tall and managed a small smile formed on her lips, her fingers clasped tightly in her dress. "Yeah... I think she is."William's (Groom) mother looks at her up and down, a skeptical arch to her brows, "What she is... What do you mean?"Oh! Shit! I almost forgot to tell you. Serena… she wants to get ready by herself. She didn't want to bother anyone." Emiko leaned closer to her face, lowering her voice. "She said... she wanted to surprise William. Don't tell him."William's mother nodded, eyes widened, mouth opened slightly. "Really... she's so thoughtful. It makes me more eager... how she looks in a bride dress." Then, she hurried off while talking to someone on the phone.Emiko exhaled a relieved breath. "Shit, I have unlocked a new talent!" she mu

Damien's room was silent except for the air conditioner's hum. he rotated the amber liquid in his glass while his eyes remained locked on the photograph. Blackwood glared at him through the photograph with a stern expression mingled with kindness which appeared frozen in time.A relentless beast of memory from that day 24 years back tormented Damien. The expression of violent anger on James's face appeared to Damien in his nightmares. The betrayal Serena committed continues to feel like a cutting pain inside his chest. Damien felt his jaw tighten as he looked at the incriminating letter his father held in his hand.He murmured "Serena" while his words dripped with venomous undertones. The whiskey burned his throat while offering him a much-needed diversion. Time has passed but my anger remains unchanged. The humiliation still stings. Your actions resulted in me losing my father, business and everything precious to me. The burden of his history weighed heavily on him like an unending p

"Yes, Come in " He took his time strolling through the room. As the girls moved in their seats, they made a scraping sound against the floor, some girls changed positions to see better. Whispered voices filled the room with a soft rustling like dry leaves moving in a light wind.The professor directed her attention to the classroom and declared, "Everyone, please listen." He is our new student" Mrs. Chen faced Nate's side, a friendly glint in her eyes. "Why don't you tell everyone a bit about yourself?" she suggested."I'm Nathaniel. Just call me Nate," he said, with a small grin, his hand through his already disheveled dark hair. He

Suddenly, a fragment of imagination flashed in her mind. A cold, night. Streetlights cast long shadows. She saw a man in a black hoodie staring across the street near the streetlamp. She paused and looked back, glancing around nervously. No one here, please calm down Eve.... she thought, trying to calm her racing heart. But then, she saw him again, closer this time, his face still unclear by the hood. Who's he? Or is he following me, I am the one who standing in an empty street, she realized, She broke into a run, her footsteps pounding on the deserted empty street. Behind her, she heard footsteps, pounding closer now. 'Without glancing back, Please... God, I have to reach my house, give me strength. Run, run... Eve run... ' she thought, her silent scream echoing in her mind, close behind her. The empty street stretched out before her.She runs as much as she can, nearly falling, her breath coming in heavily.

"Okay, Zoey..., Luna, see you tomorrow," Evangeline said while grabbing her bag."Okay.... Don't forget to tell us tomorrow, 'What was that something?' " Zoey said with a wink.Evangeline rolled her eyes again but couldn't help a smile. She texted Aaron: I'm leaving. If you have time, come to the hallway.Aaron replied almost immediately: Okay.She put her phone into her bag and glanced around the room. Nate was gone.

Zoey and Luna trailed behind her."Finally, my friend Eve got some butterflies in her stomach," Zoey teased as they reached the hallway.Luna chimed in, "About time! I was starting to think she was immune to handsome guys."Evangeline just shook her head hearing music, a smirk playing on her lips, and she glanced walking towards the hallway, students rushing towards their homes, their voices silent in musi

"We can handle it, Evangeline; you can take a rest inside the car," Chris said seriously, straightening his whole body."Rest............. Why?" Evangeline sneered, flipping her hair back. "I'm the only one who knows everything about this house. So, it's easy to catch him, right?"Chris and Michael exchanged a look of a lack of certainty."Guys..... I have a weapon!" Evangeline declared, opening her bag. "Chris, Michael, it's time. Grab your weapons," she whispered dramatically, handing them their tools.She gave Chris a pair of scissors. "You can use this if that thief attacks me, got it...? We have to prove scissors aren't just for cutting paper." Her voice was serious.Chris nodded, his eyes showing clear confusion as he scanned the harmless-looking scissors in his hand. What is this? Is this weapon going to attack the thief?

Nate exited the bar, unaware of the figure of a hooded man melting into the shadows by the elevator.They waited for the lift. The illuminated arrow remained stubbornly pointed downwards. Nate glanced at his watch, a flicker of impatience crossing his face, adjusting his coat. Then, finally, a soft beep announced the elevator's arrival.The silence stretched, making Nate uneasy. Then, a distorted, almost metallic clang echoed from the elevator shaft. The doors creaked open.They stepped inside, the silence amplifying the gentle hum of the machinery. Kim pressed the button for the parking level.Hiding in the shadows by the stairwell, the hooded figure scrolled through the photos on their phone. Each picture showed Nate in some moment, and after a quick look, they hit the "send" button, and he added, "My Job has been done". He texted while the notification popped up that the payment was credited.The photos quietly vanished into cyberspace.A phone, its screen a dim beacon in a darkened

Nate's eyes widened, fixed on the screen, and softened when Aaron gently settled Evangeline onto the bed, covering her with a bedsheet that surprised him. A small smile appeared on Aaron's face looking at her. Aaron retrieved an unwritten card from Evangline's drawer, the pen scratching softly as he wrote and signed his name at the end.Without a noise, he placed the card beside her pillow. He took his long coat from the hanger, the fabric sound mingled with the silent room as he moved.

"Do you guys know each other?" Evangeline asked, her voice a surprise. She stood between them, her gaze shifted from Aaron to Nate, a tiny tension showing from her posture."Not really," Aaron replied, his voice as deep as the sea.

"Hi," he said and walked towards Evangeline's house.Evangeline breath hitched. Her eyes widened, and she couldn't speak in shock, she murmured herself. "What are you doing here?

He cracked his neck left and right and rolled his shoulders, walking up positively while spinning the basketball in his hands as if it were second nature. He dribbled quickly, the ball bouncing low and controlled. With a swift crossover, he stepped into his shot from the free-throw line... Swish. Clean. No rim, no backboard. Just net. The players on the sideline nodded in approval. Aaron grinned and said, "Easy." For his second shot, he took a step back, moving beyond the three-point line. Someone whispered, "No way he's shooting from that far…" Aaron smirked and replied, "Watch this." He launched the ball deep, his form perfectly balanced despite the distance.

But she has never been before, and she is not a social person.""Come on, Maxmillian..." Selena persisted. "She has good facial features and a good body. She is perfect more than she will be famous in future" she requested him.Max hesitated to take sudden action, wondering if my mom and dad would say okay to modeling.
