In the dimly lit basement, Sunny slowly regained consciousness, her head throbbing with pain. Blinking against the harsh light, she realized her hands were bound tightly to a wooden chair. Panic surged through her as memories of the accident flashed back–the screeching tires, the blinding impact. Sunny’s eyes searched the room, trying to make sense of what the hell was going on“Sunny?” a familiar voice echoed from the shadows. She turned her head, squinting to see through the darkness. There, standing just beyond the reach of the light, was Rosa–the person she had considered her friend, the person who she had created a bond with, and the person who threw her friendship back at her, the person whom she had always trusted.Sunny’s heart sank as she saw Rosa’s conflicted expression, a mixture of guilt and hesitation, sunny wanted to scream, ask Rosa why she was standing there, why she did this, why she not only betrayed her but santo and Rico as well., what could have been a long time f
As Santo slowly regained consciousness, the world around him was a haze of blurred shapes and distant echoes. Pain pulsed through his head, a reminder of the violent impact that had thrown him into unconsciousness. As his senses sharpened, he became aware of the cold, damp air and the rough texture of rope biting into his wrists and ankles.Blinking to clear his vision, Santo looked around and realized he was in an abandoned warehouse. The air was thick with dust, and the low light of the moon filtered in through broken windows high above. Shadows danced ominously along the walls, adding to the eerie atmosphere. His heart pounded as he tried to make sense of his surroundings.Then, his gaze landed on a figure nearby. Rico, his younger brother, lay unconscious just a few feet away. Panic surged through Santo as he struggled against his bonds, his mind racing with questions. What had happened? How had they ended up here?“Santo,” a weak voice called out from behind him. He twisted his b
As Henry drove Judy home from the hospital, the city lights blurred into streaks of color against the darkening sky. Judy stared out the window, her mind a whirlwind of emotions. The encounter with Marcus at the hospital had stirred up memories she thought she’d buried deep.As they turned a corner, Judy’s thoughts drifted back to the early days with Marcus. She remembered their first date, the nervous laughter over too much wine, and how Marcus had held her hand as they walked through the park under a starlit sky. They had been so in love, so hopeful about the future.But then the flashbacks turned darker. Judy recalled the fights, the misunderstandings that slowly chipped away at their trust. And then, that one bitter moment when Marcus had walked in on her with another man. The pain in his eyes was etched in her memory forever.She hadn’t meant to cheat. Judy knew deep down it was her fear of commitment that had driven her to seek solace elsewhere. Marcus had wanted more—a future t
"Three nights ago, two shipments were stolen from me.. twenty of my men dead, a very pissed father on my neck.. I haven't had the best week. " Santo leaned back into his seat and looked at the man opposite him, Russo...Russo was supposed to be his partner, he was supposed to be loyal, but you know the saying; 'when you give a kid a ladder he aims to build a castle' that's exactly what Russo was trying to do and Santo saw right through his fake smile and false obedience."No trace were found capo," Russo replied. His voice held no fear to it, no remorse, nothing, he was pretty confident that nothing was found.. ("boss")Santo's fist clenched to think he trusted this bastard. It angered him He stretched his hands to his side where his brother Rico stood... Rico stepped forward and handed him a file, Santo placed the file on the table in front of him and slid it towards RussoRusso eyes shot to the file and back at Santo as if he was asking for permission to look at the content of the
"My mommy looks just like you,” the little girl said just as Sunny helped her lie down. A subtle smile appeared on Sunny’s lips. “She’s very beautiful, just like you.”"I'll come after two hours to give you your meds... Till then rest and please oh please don't ring the bell again.. there's no monster under your bed, certainly not here in the hospital," sunny said and the little girl nodded.sunny chuckled before lightly tapping her head.. "Goodnight," sunny whispered before walking out of the hospital room..A small yawn left her lips, and she felt her eyes close for a secondIt was currently 1am in the morning.. Sunny's still thinking why in the world she agreed to do a night shift.."Try not to fall" Judy, her co- worker, said chuckling in the process"No promises," sunny replied, leaning against the wall... She looked at her friend and a sad smile fell on her lips..Judy was all dressed up, ready to go home, while she was gonna be here all throughout. She wouldn't be able to leav
Sunny couldn’t determine the duration of her unconsciousness, but she regained consciousness in a hospital chair. her head ached severely, almost drawing a scream.Immediately, she grasped the back of her head and quickly surveyed the room. The men were gone, the blood everything..The room door suddenly opened up "Dont pick a night shift if you're gonna fall asleep," judy said as she stepped into the room... “The Martin’s kid said you never gave her medication”Upon seeing her, Sunny’s expression turned pale as if she had witnessed a ghost, causing her to swiftly flee from the room without acknowledging Judy’s attempts to get her attention. she ran up to the receptionist"Did anyone leave the hospital last night?" Sunny asked, but immediately shut her eyes, realizing how stupid she sounded. Of course, lots of people have left since last night till now The receptionist glanced at her "We don't exactly hold the patients hostage sunny," the receptionist said with a bored tone "I mean
Sunny became frozen, her breath became caught in her throat, her living room suddenly turned hot, and she felt a mix of shock, fear, and anger.She believed her encounter that night was just a dream for weeks, but it was real, unbelievably real, and he had the nerve to enter her home.“Who exactly do you think you are?” Her voice held more fierce than she thought it would. Even the stranger on her couch was taken back by the sudden boldness..“Me?” He pointed to himself mockingly. Instead of calming her down, this only served to agitate her further.“After trespassing in the hospital, now you’ve invaded my home, who the fuck do you think you are?” her voice raised a pitch higher, this made a ghost smile appear on the stranger’s face.. “wipe that smile off your face, you bastard”Alright, I admit that I may have exceeded the limits with that.As soon as his face turned into a frown, she knew exactly what he was thinking. Leaving the couch behind, he leisurely moved towards her.Despite
With a long deep breath, sunny jolted up from her sleep, her head spun because of the rush and the unfamiliar room did not help, nor did the unfamiliar voices coming from outside the room help to stop her thudding heart, her eyes scanned the dark blue walls of the room, the big bed which she laid on was placed at the centre of the room, a big dressing mirror and what looks like a walk-in closet.Her eyes landed on the door, and she bolted for it. As she was about to grasp the handle, a passerby’s footsteps resonated in the distance. silenceWith a gradual twist, she prayed in silence for the door to yield. Closing her eyes, she swiftly swung it open upon hearing the small click. A broad smile formed on her face as she cautiously stuck her head outside, scanning for any sign of others.When she saw that the coast was clear, she immediately ran out, looking back, sideways hoping the heavens would help her. She could see the front door, freedom, she could smell it,But then ...“She’s aw
