Angela held her phone tightly in her hand, feeling it vibrate for the fifth time. The buzzing sensation was subtle but noticeable, like a quiet tremor against her tightly clenched fist. Each time it buzzed, it was another attempt to get in touch with Den.The sound of the phone vibrating felt almost like a cruel joke, reminding her of how quiet he had been lately. It was a frustrating reminder that he was not responding to her. Deep down, Angela feared the truth, and she couldn't shake the feeling that Julie was back in the picture. She was certain of it.This morning, she had witnessed something at the office that deeply affected her. It was a sight that pierced her feelings like a sharp knife. She had seen Den standing there with Julie, and Den's hand was resting on Julie's arm. The way he was laughing with her felt uncomfortable and a bit too personal, as if they were sharing a connection that went beyond just being coworkers.Den had tried to brush away her worries by insisting th
The sound of the siren was getting nearer and nearer, becoming louder and more intense, much like a dangerous predator that was approaching.Angela looked into her rearview mirror and could see the bright flashing lights getting closer and closer. They were coming so close that they were almost blinding her with their brightness.She suddenly turned the steering wheel to avoid something, making a quick and frantic movement that caused the car to crash into a streetlight.The force of the collision jolted her body, creating a strong, unsettling feeling that mirrored the turmoil she felt inside. At that moment, the airbag inflated with a loud noise, protecting her head from hitting anything hard during the crash.The car suddenly swerved and came to a complete stop. As it did, the side of the car scraped against the edge of the road, making a loud noise and leaving behind a messy trail of bent metal and broken glass.In the middle of all the chaos and the rush of adrenaline, she noticed
“You have completely destroyed my car, and in doing so, you have broken the law. Not only that, but you have also made me feel very embarrassed. Each word I say feels sharp and painful, as if I am throwing darts at you, and my eyes are filled with a cold anger that reflects the heavy silence that now surrounds us.” Den said angrily.“Do you realize how dangerous this situation was? You could have been seriously hurt or even killed. Do you really understand how much money all of this will cost to fix? This car wasn't just a vehicle; it was a special gift I gave you to show you how much I care about you. And now, you've carelessly thrown it away like it meant nothing. This car represents everything we have built together, Angela, and by your actions, you have ruined it all.”“Please, don't even think about talking to me about love, Den. You are the one who is destroying everything we had together!” Angela snapped back at him.“You are the one who is just throwing away everything we've b
“Angela, please don’t do something foolish,” Den said, his voice sounding like a low growl. He was feeling very frustrated, but he tried to hide it by acting like he was slightly worried. “You really need to get into the car now. It’s getting late, and honestly, you are not in a good state to be walking around by yourself.”She understood that he was correct in what he said, but she was being stubborn. Her pride stood like a wall between them, and it was a result of the deep pain she had experienced in her life. As she turned to leave, the sound of her heels clicking on the pavement echoed sharply, creating a strange mix of anger and sadness around her.Den watched her walk away, his eyes trailing after her, and his face showed many different emotions all at once, revealing his inner struggle. After a moment, he decided to get out of the car and walked towards her, wanting to bridge the distance that had formed between them.“Angela, can you please listen to me? I really need you to g
A tired sigh came out of his mouth as he carefully looked through each piece of paper. The demands of his job were slowly wearing away at his patience and making him feel even more tired. He ran his hand through his hair in an attempt to fix it pushing back the strands that had fallen down onto his forehead.This action was a sign of his increasing frustration with the situation. Just as he was about to grab his coffee which he really needed to wake up his tired mind he heard the sound of high heels tapping rhythmically against the shiny floor. This sound signaled the arrival of someone he really did not want to see at that moment.The door to the office slowly opened making a creaking sound that echoed in the quiet room. Angela appeared in the doorway and her presence was strikingly different from the cold clinical whiteness of the office walls surrounding her.She wore a bright eye-catching electric blue dress that seemed to shine and her long blonde hair flowed beautifully down her
He didn’t say anything in reply. He found it really hard to tell her a lie because deep down, he knew that would be wrong. But at the same time, he felt that he couldn’t tell her the truth either. The actual truth was complicated, full of problems, and it could lead to a lot of hurt and trouble.“I understand that you are still thinking about her.” she said, her voice sounding fragile and weak. “You know, Julie. You haven’t really forgotten about her, have you?”When he heard her name, he couldn't help but react slightly, as if he was startled or uncomfortable. He had really wanted to keep this secret to himself for a bit more time. By doing that, he thought he would have the opportunity to think things through and understand everything better before sharing it with anyone else.“I'm definitely not thinking about her at all.” he said, trying to sound convincing, but his voice was strained and tense. “What’s really on my mind right now is you. I'm thinking about the two of us together,
The sound of Julie’s fingers tapping rhythmically on the keyboard filled her office and it was the only noise that could be heard. This quiet clicking was in sharp contrast to the busy and chaotic mix of thoughts and ideas that were racing around in her mind. She was working hard to figure out how to create a 3D model of a tall skyscraper and she was focused on making sure to accurately reflect the ambitious and grand vision that Den had in mind all in a digital format.The project she was working on was not easy; it required a lot of attention to detail creativity and a solid understanding of what the client wanted in terms of style and design. Julie was so absorbed in her work and the digital world in front of her that she didn’t even notice what was happening outside her office.Suddenly she heard a gentle knock at the door and it took her by surprise. Startled she quickly raised her gaze and found herself staring at Angela who was standing right there in the doorway with the door
Earlier while he was walking past he had heard laughter coming from Julie’s office which caught his attention. Curious about what was happening he decided to stop and listen for a moment. To his surprise he heard a cheerful and friendly conversation happening between Angela and Julie.Den had previously believed that Julie and Angela did not get along at all and were actually enemies so hearing them laughing and chatting like good friends was quite a shock for him.He felt a bit happy knowing that they seemed to be getting along well but at the same time he couldn’t shake off a nagging feeling that something was not quite right about the situation. Although he couldn't exactly identify what it was there was definitely something strange and suspicious about what he had just witnessed.He was still looking carefully through the door trying to understand what he had just heard. Suddenly he felt a light tap on his shoulder that startled him so much that he almost jumped out of his skin. H
With that, she quickly turned around and hurried into the living room. As she did so, her footsteps could be heard echoing throughout the entire house. Once she reached the living room, she shouted with urgency.“Honey, you really need to come here immediately.” she said, her voice filled with strong feelings and cracking with emotion. “It’s about Julie. She’s… she’s been injured. And I just… I can’t make sense of it all.”Mr. Garfield pushed open the front door with a lot of force, and you could see that he was really worried because his face was all red. He had just been spending time at the golf course, not paying any attention to the serious situation that was happening back at his house.As soon as he entered, he immediately froze in place when he saw Julie. The look on his face changed to one of complete shock and disbelief.“Julie!” he shouted in surprise. Then, he turned his attention to Sebastian, narrowing his eyes and hardening his expression. “What have you done to her?” h
After Dr. Evans finished his work he gave him a piece of paper that was a form he needed to fill out. Along with that there was another sheet of paper that he also needed to read.Dr. Evans explained “We will need you to come to the police station tomorrow morning so you can provide a formal statement about what happened.” She added “A detective will reach out to you and get in touch.”Sebastian nodded his head slowly his eyes locked onto Julie. She was sitting at the edge of the examination table holding her knees tightly against her chest.He felt a strong urge to reach out to her to give her a comforting hug and let her know that everything would be alright. However deep down he understood that such an action might not be appropriate in this moment.Dr. Evans noticed the expression in his eyes and kindly said “I think it would be a good idea to give Julie some time to rest and recover for a little while. You can go ahead and wait for her in the waiting area until she is ready to se
The clean bright white walls of the hospital made Julie feel like her headache was getting even worse. As they walked in Sebastian was looking very concerned and he gently helped her move through the automatic doors keeping a steady hand on her back for support.Suddenly a strong wave of nausea hit her bringing back the painful memories of the attack she had experienced making her feel sick to her stomach like she could almost taste the bitterness of that terrible moment.Sebastian spoke with a strained tone and said “I think it is really important that we go see a doctor. We should do this just to make sure everything is okay.”Julie gave a slow nod feeling weak and unsteady. Her body was still shaking from all the adrenaline that had been rushing through her which had kept her moving just moments ago. In the waiting area she saw many anxious faces each one looking worried and concerned.The atmosphere was filled with quiet conversations but it was hard to focus on what the people we
She felt helpless, hopelessly outmatched. She was alone, surrounded by three men, their eyes burning with lust, their hands tearing at her clothes. The thought of what they were going to do to her sent a wave of terror flooding through her, leaving her paralyzed with fear.After that, a loud noise suddenly interrupted the loud laughter of the men and the sound of her own cries. It was the sharp sound of metal hitting against metal—like a clang that rang out clearly through the alley. This sound cut through the noise, breaking the quietness of the moment.Julie raised her gaze and looked up towards the ceiling, her eyes scanning the room as she tried to find out where the sound was coming from.From the dark shadows of the night, a figure slowly came into view. It was a man who held a heavy crowbar firmly in his hand. The dim light made it difficult to see his face clearly, and his features were hidden in darkness. However, his eyes shone brightly with a fierce and threatening energy.
Julie's heart raced and she felt a chill run through her entire body. She couldn't find the words to say, so she just kept moving faster and faster, her feet pounding against the pavement in a frantic attempt to escape.She turned the corner quickly, hoping to find a way out, but suddenly she stopped in her tracks. She realized she had reached a dead end; a tall, solid wall made of bricks stood in front of her, completely blocking her path.Behind her, the three men were closing in, and as they approached, the light from the streetlights showed their faces clearly. Their expressions were frightening, and the way their eyes glimmered with a threatening look made a wave of fear wash over her. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest as she realized just how trapped she was.“Well, well, well, what do we have here?” the same man said, his voice full of mockery and playful amusement. “It looks like we have a pretty little bird that is stuck inside a cage and can't get out.”Julie to
Lita's eyes grew large with surprise, and she furrowed her brow in a sign of worry. She looked at the person beside her and said in a strong voice, “I really think you should not answer that question.” She added, “What if this person is trying to trick you into reacting in a certain way?”Julie felt a bit unsure and took a moment to think. The phone in her hand was still buzzing and vibrating persistently, making it hard for her to ignore it. She turned her head slightly to look back at Lita, hoping to find some comfort or support in her friend's gaze. With a hint of concern in her voice, she asked, “But what if the call is really important?”“It's really not what it seems.” Lita said, her voice steady and confident. “She is trying to trap you in her web of deceit, and honestly, you will be much better off if you keep your distance and stay away from her.”“But what if this is all just a big misunderstanding?” Julie said, her voice filled with desperation as she tried to explain her p
The cab shook and rattled as it drove over the bumpy and uneven asphalt road. Every little bump made Julie's already tense body jolt even more. Feeling uneasy, she decided to take out her phone. The screen lit up and cast a pale, artificial light on her face. She then found the green call button and gently tapped it.The sound of Lita's ringtone filled the air, and it was a welcome distraction for her, helping to take her mind off the uncomfortable feeling turning in her stomach.“Hello, Lita! You are not going to believe something incredible that happened to me at work today.” Julie said suddenly, her voice filled with excitement and a bit of surprise. “So, guess what? Angela, of all people, actually said sorry! Isn’t that hard to believe?”“Are you talking about that Angel? You know, the one who has been looking at you with that judging stare for the last six months?” Lita said, her tone filled with a lighthearted sense of humor. “What does she want from you?”“I really don't unders
