Deadly obsession The door to the future
(Sophia’s POV)The house felt different now. The space remained active yet muffled.

An unnatural stillness pervaded the air, manifesting as an eerie tranquility.The state of peace reached its possible limits during seven months of pregnancy.Seated cross-legged upon the plush ivory nursery rug my hands traced my growing belly while I stared at the unfinished room. The arrangement progressed flawlessly as soft golden stars adorned the walls while they twinkled beneath the nursery's dim lighting. By the window stood a white bassinet in

An unnatural icy stillness enveloped the world outside where city lights flickered as minuscule stars. Inside warmth radiated from the crackling fireplace where stockings hung with care each embroidered with the names of our growing family.I found myself seated at the exquisitely arranged dining table while my fingers traced the wine glass rim absentmindedly—filled with apple cider since Alexander prohibited me from approaching alcohol. Candlelight flicker created an unnatural dance across our dearest ones' faces which paradoxically set a joyful intimate scene.

My heart slammed ferociously into my ribcage while my vision obscured through scalding tears.“Alexander! I gasped, my voice trembling. “It hurts! Oh, God, it hurts so bad! ”The bedroom light activated instantaneously and Alexander appeared beside me within moments his face devoid of color.

Huling Na-update : 2025-03-24Deadly obsession A day of preparation
Sophia’s POVAs I lay in bed staring at the ceiling the previous night's events still processing in my mind, a complex network of hospital machines emitted a soft hum that filled the air around me. The terrifying sharp pains that had awakened me proved to be merely pre-labor contractions yet the memory of that fear still clung to me.

Sophia, this place is a medical institution," he remarked with a dry tone. The design intention never aimed for excitement. ”An unnatural groan escaped my lips as I awkwardly tilted my head in his direction. Then entertain me. Perform a small dance step while delivering a song to me—”An eyebrow raised in perplexing inquiry as his gaze finally met mine. “Interpret your request as an invitation for my dance performance? ”My facial muscles contorted into an asymmetric expression resem

A full week passed since Alexander's departure yet his constant reassurances failed to quell the persistent worry that gnawed at me.Rachel should have discharged me today. She would have under normal circumstances. The state of my health reached stability while my baby remained in good health and I possessed the ability to rest at home. Alexander's directives demanded my continued hospital supervision until his return, and Rachel adhered to these orders with unwavering rigidity despite our friendship.I released a deep breath while my fingers worked on the tiny blue sock yet my thoughts drifted far from this moment. Emily and my mother engaged in conversation across from me while their fingers worked on individual knitting projects. Instead of providing comfort the needle's rhythmic clicks served as a constant reminder of my life's unchanging monotony.Where is Valerie? The sound of

Alexander Richmond found himself seated opposite an attractive woman in the shadowy ambiance of a luxurious dining establishment. The candle's glow danced erratically between them while his face remained an enigma yet hers? Her smile appeared soft yet flirtatious. The images appeared neither grainy nor captured at unusual angles. The images appeared razor-sharp and perfectly captured as if an unknown entity intended Sophia to perceive them.Who sent these? I asked my voice sharper than intended.Sophia’s hands shook uncontrollably while she clutched the phone. I—I don’t know. The number appears as an unidentified caller without any attached identity. Her breath caught irregularly while her eyes shone with tears that refused to fall. He wouldn’t do this, right? He wouldn’t—”Her words remained unfinished by my interruption. Give me a sec. ”I extracted my phone from its resting place and in
