Jason “It's okay, Kendall. I'll send you this money, just send me the account number, and I'll send it to you today,” I told her, receiving an approving nod from Jake. But Kendall, on the other end of the line, was laughing at me like I was an idiot. “And do you really think I’m going to accept e
Laura My hands were tied behind my body in a chair as I faced Suzy in front of me. I had no idea how she had managed to escape from prison and enter the mansion to kidnap me and have me in this place. I was trying to understand it all. It was my wedding day, but still, these evil people couldn't le
Laura I was waiting for an opportunity to escape from that place, it wasn't as easy as I imagined it would be, and they didn't give me any respite. And just when I thought I'd have a moment to plan an escape, Kendall and Suzy untied me and took me to a small yacht. They were nervous, as if they had
Laura “I told you to let go of her!” Suzy shouted at me, her eyes were lit with anger. Kendall got away from me and ended up next to Suzy, laughing at me loudly. Suzy kept the gun in my sights, looking at me steadily as if she finally had me where she wanted me. “Do you know how many times I dre
Laura The water in the lake was cold, even though it was spring. Kendall's body and furniture were still entwined with me, grabbing me and pulling me to the bottom of the lake. I tried to free myself from her dead body, pushing her away from me, and tried to swim to the surface, but with my hands t
Laura I was wearing a fluffy robe after a hot shower I took, so I was safely home with my family and the people I loved. Ava was there with me, taking care of me and cheering me up through the stressful events I had just a short time ago. “And how did the guests react when you had to announce tha
Laura “Oh my God, you look so beautiful!” Ava exclaimed, delighted, looking at me with her eyes shining with emotion. “Do you think I really look pretty?” I asked with a small smile as I looked in the mirror and straightened my dress. I was already dressed and ready for the wedding; unlike the
Weeks later Laura It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon; the kids were playing in the pool; Jason and his guys were talking and drinking a beer while preparing the barbecue; my mom and Roseanne sunbathed by the pool while having fun watching the children play; Ava and I were exchanging experiences i
“I really wish I didn't care, just like you don't care,” I said. “Are my grades at school terrible? Fuck them; I don't care. Who cares about social life or social issues? I want everyone to explode. I'm going to continue here in my room playing my shooting and death games until I feel accomplished.
Jake Gardner “Please tell me. Is he really out of danger?” My wife asked on the other end of the line. “Yes, he is,” I replied. “The bullet hit his shoulder. He’s going to be fine.” I heard her sighing on the other end of the line. "Thank God. I'm going to call Amber to let her know; she's so wo
Annie It was my parents there trying to get closer to me. My heart almost came out of my mouth, and I almost melted with relief and also anguish. “Dad… Mom,” I stammered, my eyes filling with tears. But Peter was quick; he put his arm around my shoulder, pulling me to his chest, and placed the bar
Laura Jason was driving the car while talking to me about something random. “Terry is coming home this Christmas,” he was saying. “He has done an incredible job at the Pretoria branch, but he misses his family.” It had been a few months since Terence had moved to South Africa for work; he was one
Warning: sensitive content Annie “Are you ready?” Peter asked me as he and I were about to storm the Mexican diner down the street. He and I had spent hours talking about it, and no matter how much I told him not to do that and go back home, he said he would only come back after I granted him that
Laura I woke up with a start when I woke up, suddenly remembering where I was and what I was doing. “Wake up, Jason…” I called him, while running my hand over my face. He was sleeping next to me and woke up too. “Hmm, what's wrong? Did something happen?” He asked, looking at me with a sleepy fa
Annie “I thought you were the only one who understood me. So now you can’t blame me for being attracted to the monster that I am.” Peter's words weighed on me. When I found out about his secret, it was as if the world around me woke up in its most naked and raw colors; it was as if I now realized
Annie “I can't believe it; it's not true. Peter would tell me something like that if it were true,” I said in denial, my voice breaking. The surrounding town took its course as I stood there at the payphone with the phone to my ear. Peter's psychologist had just told me something that was shaking a
Annie I was staring at the white ceiling of that hotel room as I lay on my back on the bed, the annoying noise of the fan disturbing my thoughts. I was bored. Peter had left a few hours ago, saying he needed to take care of something important, so I was left alone in that hotel room. I had already
