Alexa walked back and forth in the living room, looking at the clock. She quietly repeated to herself how frustrated she was as the minutes passed, making her even later. With a sigh, she tried to contact Valle, hoping to find out why he was late. But there was no answer.Feeling annoyed, Alexa decided she couldn’t wait any longer. She picked up baby Rahilla and held her close. Determined to go on with her plans without Valle, she walked to the door, ready to leave.Just as she was about to step outside, the door swung open, and Valle came in. Alexa’s urge to scold him faded when she saw the scar on his forehead. Worry filled her face, and she rushed to him, her voice filled with concern."What happened? Are you okay?" she asked urgently.Valle stepped back from her, acting colder than usual. "It'll heal, don't worry about it," he replied, brushing her off.Still anxious, Alexa quickly went to get the first aid kit. Even if it was a small cut, she wanted to be careful and avoid infect
The nice restaurant was full of chatter and soft jazz music playing in the background. Alexa sat elegantly at a table covered in white linen. Her dark curls fell beautifully over her shoulders. Across from her sat Paul, a good-looking man with a warm smile that made her heart race.“So, Paul, tell me about your recent trip to Europe. I want to hear about all the amazing places you visited,” she said.“It was amazing, Alexa. I went to so many beautiful cities—Paris, Rome, Barcelona. The buildings, the art, the food… everything was just breathtaking. I wish you could have been there with me,” Paul replied.As they joked and laughed, their smiles caught the attention of other diners. Everything felt perfect until Alexa noticed a familiar scent in the air, mixing with the delicious smells of the food. It was Valle's scent.Her eyes widened, and she turned her head to see Valle walking into the restaurant. He looked around until he spotted Alexa, and she could see the anger and jealousy in
Valle walked mindlessly past the colorful amusement park, watching families laugh and play together. He stopped for a moment to look at a family—a mother and father happily pushing their giggling kids on swings. The fun atmosphere made him feel something deep inside, a feeling he didn’t recognize from his own childhood.He felt a strong longing in his heart. It seemed like a world he couldn’t understand, a world that was always out of his reach.As he watched mothers pushing swings, fathers lifting their kids into the air, and the sound of laughter nearby, he remembered his own childhood. A wave of sadness hit Valle—he had never known the simple happiness he saw in front of him. His father, obsessed with power, only showed him the harsh side of life. Love and warmth were not part of his father’s world. His mother, too, was a victim of his father’s cruelty, too scared to give him comfort.Valle felt helpless as he realized he was stuck knowing only darkness and pain. The thought that
Chapter 33"I am not going to say I’m sorry!" Valle said defiantly, crossing his arms tightly over his chest.Alexa looked at him with a serious face. "Yes, you are going to apologize."Valle frowned, clearly frustrated. "What do you want me to apologize for? He asked for it.""He's hurt, Valle," Alexa replied firmly. "You really did hurt him."Valle narrowed his eyes at her, feeling upset. "He deserved what happened to him." There was a bitterness in his voice that was hard to miss.Alexa raised her voice a bit, sounding both angry and frustrated. "Valle!""I will not say I’m sorry—" Valle started to say, but suddenly the sound of the doorbell rang out, interrupting their argument.The doorbell ringing created a surprising break in their heated talk. Valle looked at Alexa with a mix of confusion and disbelief. "No! You did not just do that!" "Yes, I did, and you better apologize when he gets here," she insisted.When Alexa opened the door, Leonard stood there, looking like he was in
In the dimly lit laboratory, Leonard stood in front of a messy table filled with different scientific tools and machines. His eyes were wide with a mix of excitement and something a little crazy. There were beakers and vials all around him, filled with strange liquids and powders. They were the results of his hard work and countless experiments over the last few months. Holding his hands steady, he carefully added the last ingredients to the special formula he had been working on. “This is it!” Leonard said to himself, his voice filled with strong belief. “This formula will work, it has to work,” he whispered into the quiet room, feeling a mix of excitement and a little desperation. His mind was racing with thoughts of having great power and control, convinced that this formula would bring him success. The intensity in his gaze showed a wild spark in his eyes. Leonard had been keeping a watchful eye on a woman named Alexa. He knew she was at the spa, and he didn’t want to waste t
The room felt tense as Alexa frowned in confusion. She looked at Valle and asked, "What do you mean by 'wrong vibes'? Can you explain?"Valle struggled to find the right words. Finally, he said, "Lately, I’ve been getting strange feelings about Leonard. I can't explain it well, but his body language and actions seem off to me."Alexa frowned harder, feeling frustrated. She crossed her arms and replied, "Valle, I think you're just seeing things because you're too protective. You usually have a hard time trusting others."Valle shook his head, trying to make her understand. "No, it's more than that. Leonard keeps asking me about my powers, and it bothers me."Trying to defend Leonard, Alexa said, "Valle, Leonard is just curious. People want to learn more about things they don't know."Valle pressed on, "But that’s not all. When we’ve been attacked, I've noticed Leonard’s scent around. Isn’t that a strange coincidence?"Alexa grew more frustrated and waved her hand dismissively. "It coul
As Alexa lay sleeping peacefully, the soft morning light started to shine through the curtains, making the room feel warm and cozy. The quietness of her sleep was suddenly broken by the loud sound of the doorbell ringing, filling the house with noise. Groggy and confused, Alexa opened her eyes slowly, reluctant to leave her comfy blanket cocoon.She rubbed her eyes and looked at the alarm clock on her bedside table, puzzled by what she saw. It was only 4:30 in the morning! She wondered who could be at the door at this time. Feeling curious, she tiptoed quietly to the door, trying her best not to wake the little toddler sleeping in the next room.When she peeked through the small spy hole, she saw Valle standing outside. A groan slipped out before she could stop it. When she opened the door, she felt a mix of annoyance and surprise. "Valle, what on earth are you doing here so early?" she asked.Valle smiled sheepishly, clearly excited and not at all fazed by the early hour. "Good morni
Alexa looked at herself in the rearview mirror and quickly fixed her sleek, dark hair. A big smile spread across her face as she checked how she looked. She was dressed nicely in a blazer and a pencil skirt, feeling confident while driving smoothly through the busy morning traffic. Next to her was Valle, who looked very handsome in his well-fitted suit. His blue eyes sparkled with warmth as they exchanged light jokes and laughter.In the backseat, baby Rahilla was safely strapped in her car seat, making sweet cooing sounds. Her round cheeks moved into dimples as she babbled happily, her little voice mixing perfectly with her parents' laughter. Valle couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming love for his little family. Watching Rahilla’s joy filled him with pride and a protective instinct."Oh, come on, Myra," Valle said, rolling his eyes playfully. "You wouldn't stand a chance against me even if you trained hard for a whole year."Alexa laughed, and her laughter was bright and cheerful.
