Let's enjoy the journey.. ..*..*..*..* Present time : Emily blinked few times before opening her eyes, her head was aching, Gently, she sat up on the edge of the bed, but the dizziness overwhelmed her, forcing her to lie back down, clutching her head in her hands. Emily lay there, the events of yesterday flooded back into her mind, causing tears to well up in her eyes. She couldn't shake off the hurt of how Axel had seemingly judged her, but deep down, she understood why ? She couldn't help but feel a mix of sadness and frustration. How could Axel see her in such a negative light? Yet, at the same time, she couldn't entirely blame him. After all, she herself was painfully aware of how Steve had maliciously tarnished her image in Axel's eyes. Startled by the unexpected presence of Steve, Emily's eyes widened in surprise as he approached with a tray in hand. She watched him cautiously as he placed it down, his words breaking the silence. "Eat this, it'll reduce your hangover," Ste
Let's enjoy the journey ...*..*..*... At night: Dinner time: Emily busied herself in the kitchen, preparing dinner for them, she couldn't shake the feeling of Steve's eyes boring into her back. It was a sensation she had grown all too familiar with. For Steve it gave an immense warmness seeing her in front of his eyes. But for Emily, it was a constant source of discomfort and unease, a reminder of the suffocating hold Steve had over her life. The doorbell rang; momentarily interrupting their routine, both Emily and Steve paused in their tracks. Emily made a move towards the direction of the door, but before she could reach it, Steve rose from his seat with a slight nod. "I will open the door," Steve announced. Emily couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that settled in her chest as she observed Steve's sudden change in behavior. Her mind raced with questions, trying to piece together what might have transpired to trigger such a drastic shift in Steve's behavior. Had somethi

With a mischievous twinkle in her eye, Emily tiptoed into the room. With a mischievous twinkle in her eye, Emily tiptoed into the room, her heart filled with anticipation as she plotted to play a harmless prank on her unsuspecting mother. As she crept closer, preparing to pounce and startle her, her mother's gentle voice interrupted her playful scheme. "Go and freshen up," she said with a knowing smile, her tone warm. "How do you always know?" Emily asked with an exasperated expression, feeling both amused and slightly annoyed by her mother's uncanny ability to predict her actions. With a teasing glint in her eye, she added, "It's like you have a third eye behind your head." Flashing a sweet smile in response to her daughter's playful remark, Emil
I was almost ready for the party and my hair neatly tied in a simple bun, I took one last look at myself in the mirror. The long sleeveless blue dress hugged my figure perfectly, the chiffon fabric flowing gracefully around me in an A-line silhouette. The V-shaped neckline added a touch of elegance to the ensemble, accentuating my collarbones and drawing attention to my radiant smile.Satisfied with my appearance, I stepped out into the night, a sense of excitement bubbled within me. After all this was the first time I will attend this rich kind of party.I entered the restaurant, my eyes widened in awe at the sheer beauty of the surroundings. It was clear that Steve had spared no expense in celebrating his birthday, transforming the venue into a lavish spectacle fit for royalty. The opulence of the decor and the attention to detail left me feeling both impressed and slightly overwhelmed.A sense of nervousness crept over me as I took in the sight of the other guests, each one impecca
Enjoy the journey: ...*...*...*...*... Still in flashback:Emily felt a wave of self-consciousness wash over her as she continued walking through the college campus. The stares from passing students seemed to intensify with each step she took. She couldn't help but wonder why she was attracting so much attention. She walked, Emily tried to shake off the feeling of unease, but the persistent glances from others made it difficult to ignore. She glanced down at herself, wondering if there was something out of place with her appearance. Everything seemed normal: her clothes were neat, her hair was tidy. So why were people staring? 'Why is everyone looking at me weirdly...' Her mind asked her. Ignoring the things she entered into class room only to find herself in soak in dirty water, people were started to laugh at her, raging she yelled "What the hell... you did..."

However, Steve seemed indifferent to their arrival, pouring himself another glass without acknowledging them."Heyaaa!! We are here... give us some attention..." Jin called out, trying to draw Steve's focus.Steve glanced at his brother, Jin, but then returned to sipping his drink, seemingly unfazed by the interruption. Caleb chuckled at the scene, while Ethan smirked knowingly."This one needs to learn some manners," Caleb remarked, nodding towards Steve. "How can he ignore my handsome face..."Liam observed him for a minute and "What happened? Why are you so pissed off?" Liam asked, his concern evident in his tone.Caleb chimed in before Steve could respond, attempting to lighten the mood with a casual remark. "Nothing much... Steve just lost a bet, that's all. And to add insult to injury, our precious
Enjoy the story ---------------------------------------------------- Past story is going on :Emily slowly regained consciousness; the world around me seemed to spin in a haze of confusion. The harsh glare of flashing police lights illuminated the scene, casting eerie shadows against the surrounding buildings. Her mind struggled to make sense of the chaos unfolding before her. The grip of the police officers holding her was firm, their expressions grim and unreadable. Her gaze was drawn to the figure lying motionless on the ground, shrouded beneath a stark white sheet. A cold knot of dread formed in the pit of her stomach as Emily can’t get anything in her head. Through the disorienting fog of her mind, she caught a glimpse of Steve; she just don't know what was going on as if she’s still haze. Instantly the image of being Mrs. Sofia bloody body flashed in front of her eyes, sweat starting to cover her forehead thinking what she was doing here, and everyone thinking of her as mur
..*..*..*..*...Time skips to few days:Three days had passed since Emily was taken into custody, and not a single moment went by when she didn't think about her mom. Her eyes were puffy and exhausted from endless tears, her mind haunted by the image of her mother collapsing on the ground. She learned that her mom had slipped into a coma due to the shock she endured, and the weight of guilt pressed heavily on Emily's shoulders. She blamed herself for her mother's critical condition, convinced that if she hadn't gone to that place, none of this would have happened.Top of FormSoon calls woke her up from her thought, she looked at the person and that was none other than Stefano Rossi.
