Before I could utter a single word, he had already pulled me away from the spot.

The look of determination in his eyes was difficult to ignore, but I wanted to resist, to say something or protest. Yet, all my attempts were thwarted by what felt like a wall of silence between us as he looked straight ahead, unresponsive and seemingly unaware of how I was feeling.

I quickly survey the area, searching for Aiden and wondering if he is here, somewhere far away watching me. I know that if he is and catches me doing something I shouldn't be doing, I will be in a world of trouble. It's moments like this where my fear of his disapproval overwhelms my better judgement and stops me in that spot, frozen from taking the risk.

Adam didn't slow down until we arrived at a public restroom. He peered around the corner cautiously, scanning the area for any potential onlookers before tugging me into the room and firmly shutting the doors behind us. He still hadn't turned to face me yet, opting instead to

    Adam’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief, his gaze slowly meeting mine. I could see the turmoil in his expression; confusion, fear, disappointment all playing a part.“I-it’s Alicia…” I whispered at him.Adam closed his eyes, as if he was in absolute anguish. None of us said a word, we didn't know what to do. When the door swung open, we both knew it meant instant death for us if she saw us here together.“W-what are we going to do-”Adam hastily clapped a hand over my mouth, his gaze warning me to not make any noise. My breathing was short and shallow as Alicia's voice echoed outside the door. Fear gathered in my throat, making it difficult to swallow.“Ahmm…if someone’s inside, please I need to pee! It’s urgent!”Adam groaned audibly, his expression profoundly pained. He inhaled deeply before his gaze swept around the room, searching for something – some kind of solace or reprieve from the anguish he felt within.“D*mn, I couldn’t find Leilani and I couldn’t find Adam. And now, na

    “A-aiden, wait-!”Before I had a chance to do anything, he had already revved up the engine of his car and sped away, leaving me in a cloud of dust. It all happened so fast - one moment he was beside me and the next moment he was gone. I tried to chase after him, but it felt like it was too late; there was no way that I could catch him now. He put more and more distance between us with each passing second, until eventually his car dwindled into nothing.The moment I see Aiden, memories and visceral fear come flooding back. He was a criminal in the past, and I witnessed firsthand how he could take someone's life without hesitation or remorse. It's like his past is coming back to haunt me all over again, making my heart beat faster and my breathing quicken. This isn't the same person I once knew; he is capable of such brutality and violence if provoked.If I don’t stop him, something bad might really happen.I glanced around and spotted a taxi cab in the distance, my immediate response

    I couldn’t bring myself to look at him in the eyes as he drove us back to our apartment. His knuckles had whitened as they clutched the steering wheel more and more tightly, and I could see his jaw had tensed while he stared straight ahead. It was terrifying being in the car with him like this, his shoulders tense and barely a word uttered between us. We were both aware of each other's presence but it felt like miles separating us because neither of us were talking.I was gripping my seat tightly, unable to take my eyes off the window in an attempt to calm myself down. After his outburst at the amusement park just earlier today, I have no idea what will happen between us in the near future. Will he be able to forgive me for what happened? Questions buzzed around my head like flies and all I could do was sit there with a heavy heart.But I knew it was impossible for him to forgive me. I looked over at him and saw his hands sparking up a cigarette before the flame illuminated his face.

    Aiden clenched his jaw and looked away, avoiding my gaze. Despite the tension in the air, I continued to explain my point of view to him so he could understand where I was coming from. His silence indicated that he was struggling to comprehend what I was saying, despite his best efforts.“I didn’t like what happened, Aiden. But I was powerless to do anything about it. It hurts to admit it, but I felt weak and useless in that moment, unable to go up against such an overwhelming force and fight for myself. Those years of neglect had left me so unaccustomed to receiving any attention at all that when I did get even just a little bit of it, the sensation was almost too much for me handle.”I hesitantly placed his hand over my chest, gently resting it upon my beating heart. It felt strange and comforting at the same time as I stared into his eyes, feeling a sense of peace. His touch sent a wave of warmth through my body and I felt the steady rhythm of my heart thudding away beneath his pal

    “Good morning, honey.”I stirred awake when I felt a soft object touch my forehead, it was a bit moist yet fluffy. After taking a few moments to gain my bearings, I realized it must be Aiden's lips that touched me in such an affectionate way. Slowly, I opened my eyes to find him eagerly staring down at me with his endearing gaze. He looked so sweet and caring, lovingly admiring me as he nestled close to my body. His embrace felt warm and comforting like a gentle pillow.“How’s your sleep?”I couldn't bring myself to utter a word; it felt like a dream. Aiden's gaze was so different compared to last night, when he was so cold and distant. He seemed almost apologetic as his eyes met mine, as if he regretted the way he had treated me. For some reason, I found myself wanting to forgive him yet again - my heart and mind were at odds with one another. His face softened into an expression of warmth, like he wanted nothing more than for me.“I-i’m good.” I swallowed the lump in my throat.He n

    I took a quick glance around the room, and my gaze eventually settled on the bed beside me. It was supposed to be occupied by someone else, but instead it was vacant. This emptiness filled me with a deep sense of sorrow that reached all the way to my core.“A-aiden?”I couldn't shake the feeling that it was all just a dream. It felt like an actual experience, as if it were something that had really taken place. My emotions were so intense and vivid, I almost wanted to believe that it was entirely true. I took some time to reflect on the situation and mull over what had happened, but no matter how hard I tried it seemed impossible to determine if this dreamlike experience was real or imagined… Until finally, I slowly came to the realization.Aiden is gone.I tried to shake off the feeling of anguish that was gradually seeping through my body. I slowly got out of bed, surveying my body and realizing I wasn't wearing any clothes. But strangely enough, there was no signs of soreness in my

    I slowly took a step back, shaking my head as my eyes scanned her from head to foot. No, she can’t be here. This can’t be happening. Why is she here?The shock that took over me was so intense that I couldn't speak; I felt completely paralyzed. My heart began to race as my mind raced with thoughts of my unfinished business with my mother. Even lifting a finger seemed impossible in this moment. Time stood still, and all I could do was focus on what the future would hold for us both now that we had these new revelations to contend with.What would she think? Would she be disappointed in me, or understanding of the circumstances?I cannot bring myself to return to her. The thought of living with my mother again after all the mistreatment and abuse I endured is too unbearable. She had always been so cruel, and now that she knows that I am aware of the injustices she has done me, it would be far too difficult for us to coexist together. So instead, I have chosen a different path - one in w

    “So, what’s for dinner?”As my mother was bent over the drawers, her focus entirely on finding what she was looking for, I took a few steps closer towards the knife. Its sharp and glinting blade sparkled in the light of the kitchen and my heart started to beat faster. All I had to do was reach out a hand and it would be mine. My mind raced with possibilities of what I could do with this weapon.I gulped, nervously gazing between the knife and my seemingly oblivious mother. Despite my reluctance, I had to do something. It suddenly dawned on me that if I don’t act quickly this situation can tragically worsen. I know it's a drastic measure but it might be the only way to protect my self from further hurt and indignity.

The sound of metal hitting the ground with each footstep only made matters worst as the chaser closed in on me. Desperate for a way out, I frantically searched around for a solution to escape.“You can’t escape from me!”My heart leapt when I heard her voice coming closer and I panicked, running away from the source.

    Everyone was running around frantically trying their best to make sure everything would be ready in time for the upcoming event.I nervously bit my bottom lip as all of them were preoccupied with last minute tasks when suddenly, the make-up artist caught me off guard and started talking to me.“Madam, I need you to lift your gaze.”I took a deep breath, steeling myself before finally raising my eyes to meet those of the make up artist. She gestured for me to look higher, so I complied without hesitation. We had been at this for two hours already.Though I wouldn't say I'm complaining, my bottom is already becoming quite numb sitting in the same spot for such a long time. It's understandable that they have to do their jobs, but my need to stand up and move around has become ever more urgent.“It’s almost done, Madame.”I had nodded my head in agreement but the hair stylist gently restrained my head, keeping me still as she attended to every strand of my hair.I was not accustomed to be

    “Leilani! Where the hell are you going?!”I didn't give Aiden a second thought when his voice cracked with frustration as he called my name. Good thing the door beside me wasn't yet locked and I was able to hurl myself from the car, sprinting in the direction of Adam where I can save him!I can’t believe Aiden! Adam gave up everything for us, placing his life on the line selflessly in order to help us out of a difficult situation.And yet, Aiden isn't willing to do the same and put their differences aside in order to save another person's life. I understand that he hold a grudge against Adam, but surely this isn't an appropriate response?We are talking about someone's life here!I heard Aiden’s shouts echoing off behind me, ordering me to turn around and come back but I refused to do so.“Mother!

I felt my heart thumping so hard against my chest, memories of the events leading up to this moment all too vivid in my mind.A single tear escaped from my eye as I prayed under my breath. It was not at all what I had expected, this would end up being the way I would die.

    The cold air blew in like a wild animal, biting at my delicate skin and making me shiver.Despite this, I couldn’t take my eyes off of her face, we stood so close as if no distance could separate us from each other- neither space nor time. The cliff we were standing on overlooked the city below us, its lights glowing in darkness like thousands of distant stars that had found their way home to us.I've always been aware of the fact that my mother has never had a very high opinion of me. From the moment I was born, she seemed to have a contempt for me that grew over time. Not only was I constantly being criticized by her, but she would often blame me for things even when it wasn't my fault. It seemed like no matter how hard I tried or how much effort I put into pleasing her, she would always find something to be disappointed in.I was aware of this all along, but why did I get so hurt when I heard those words come out of her mouth? When I looked into her eyes, there was no sign of regre

    It was an icy night, the darkness so oppressive it felt like I could taste it.I had no idea where I was going but I knew one thing, whatever lay ahead of me had to be better than living in fear of the demons that continued to haunt my footsteps. As I ran, my breath foggy plumes visible against the moonlight, a single thought kept me going - freedom. Freedom from this nightmare that followed me wherever I went.“Leilani! You can’t live without me!”Her voice had an eerily chilling effect on me. I felt my entire body tense up, my spine becoming rigid with fear.Goosebumps rose on my skin and I trembled, feeling powerless in her presence. Refusing to turn around and face her, to risk seeing the knife she brandished threateningly in her hand, I valiantly did all that was in my power to keep my cowardice contained.I glance up from the sky, “I-i'm begging you, please help me find a way to escape from her. I need somewhere that is safe, where I can go and forget this nightmare that she has

    I felt a deep, primal anger bubbling up from within me as the word cursed spilled out of my mouth. My mind struggled to contend with what I had just heard, and my eyes widened in utter disbelief.I can’t f*cking believe that f*cker. I can hardly restrain my anger, feeling the urge to throw my phone across the room. But I take a few deep breaths, trying to calm myself down and think straight.I quickly dialed my assistant’s number to uncover what Adam was really doing. I had a suspicion he knew where Leilani was and that he was trying to keep her whereabouts hidden. I could feel my anger rising, a burning sensation in the pit of my stomach as it became more evident that something fishy was going on.“Sir Villarreal, how may I be of assistance to you today?”“I want you to locate Adam Hallowes! He needs to be located as soon as possible and explore every place and lead as quickly as you can! Once he has been tracked down, contact me immediately and let me know his whereabouts!”I ended

    “A-alicia, how could you?”I slowly shake my head in disbelief, studying her face for any hint of guilt or regret. It's hard to believe that someone as kind and gentle as her could be capable of such a thing…Alicia was speechless as she looked at me, unsure of what to do. Her eyes widened in fear and shock by my sudden presence. I slowly glanced down at the phone that she dropped on the floor, remembering everything that had been said during her conversation with Leilani’s mother.All of her words were clear in my mind…“How could you?”Taking a deep breath in, I slowly made my way towards her and grabbed her shoulders. As I gazed at her, she avoided my gaze and refused to look me in the eye. My heart started to race as my mind was filled with different questions.I don't want to give attention to these ideas, but the words were loud and clear enough for me to directly accuse her. It's difficult for me to accept this. This is an uncomfortable sensation - like tiny needles prodding at
