2024-10-29 19:42:56SREYA WOKE UP to the pale glow of Xaver's bedside nightlight and lurking shadows in the hidden corners of the wide space. Purring like a cat, she stretched her long torpid limbs and the tips of slender fingers brushed cold silk sheets; the realization that she was alone giving birth to the furrow that grew between her arched brows.
Sitting upright, she blinked severally, willing chocolate brown orbs to adjust to the dim lighting. The silent waltz of the thin white curtains and the goose bumps on her skin avouching for the chilling presence of a mute cold breeze.
Sighing drowsily, she rubbed at the aching spot at her back, eyes closed as the vivid hue of a smile limned lush lips at the memory of their intense lovemaking last night. Moments with Xaver after meeting his parents last two weeks have been a little different... Everything seemed a tad bit more...deep, genuine.... Those were not even the right words to

SREYA FELT LIKE she was in Gehenna. It was a travailing sensation... Like a new inhabitant of a certain type of Gehenna where the hungry flames exclusively licked and clawed at your heart, not your flesh.Currently, she was seating—very still—on the couch in Luna's newly rented apartment. After the divorce, Kyle, Luna's ex-husband, sold the house and moved to Kruz with his dearest Gwendolyn to live happily ever after and Luna relocated to—in her own words, the most beautiful place in all Casterston—Greenwood.The thoughts of microscopic miniscule cameras lodged in every nook and cranny in her house had Sreya utterly despondent and immensely reluctant to return to the walls that no longer bore her solace nor ensured her privacy. Instead, she'd driven to the place closest to the house she'd unwillingly egressed.God knows she'd wanted to run after Xaver the minute he'd walke

THE REVERBERATING SOUND of heavy metal plates swiftly sliding into a barbell filled Xaver's in-house gym as sweat dripped down his arms and back, soaking his sleeveless workout top.Listening to the distant —yet audible—patter of heavy raindrops on the windows and Aminé's Red Mercedes, Xaver commenced his deadlifts. He'd only managed to finish two sets of fifteen when his phone began to ring.Looking at his screen, he ignored Alexander's tenth call that evening. He knew his friend was probably calling because of the rumors revolving round his cancelled marriage to Crystal but that was the last thing he wanted to discuss.It's been five days since the video incident with Sreya and he still felt like crap.After guzzling a large amount of water from a bottle, he reached for a dumbbell but was again distracted by the vibration coming from his cellphone. Irritated by Alex's

Years ago in Tales^°^Gideon Farrow drove at an acceptable speed. Singing jocosely to Willow Winthrop's Caveman as he got closer and closer to his wife and three children with every deep hum and lyric.When God's golden disk arose at dawn and smiled down at Habbados—Gideon's hometown—every Saturday, Farrow leaves for Tales with robust, plump red tomatoes in large manually woven straw baskets lodged at the back of his truck. On this day of the week, he'd leave the running of the Farm to his able wife, Martha. "Oh Caveman, oh, cavemann, will you teach me to hunt?" Gideon sang as he tapped out a matching rhythm on his steering with his fingers. The successful sale of his farm produ

SREYA'S DESPERATE ATTEMPT to stop the tears proved abortive.Blinking furiously, she tried to hide them as she bent her head, her voice breaking, "Sorry", she hiccuped, "I'm...just a little overhwelmed...". She concluded with an inaudible awkward laugh and a little sniff.Xaver was feeling an amalgam of things but most all there was this intense urge to punch himself severally in the face, to hurt himself as much as she'd hurt, as much as she was hurting....Why hadn't she told him all these sooner? He'd have immediately began the search for the sick, psycho bastard that had the efrontery to put his hands on a woman without her consent? How can a human being back the innocent, soul cleansing words of the Bible with actions that are darkly inhumane, corrupt and perverse? People like this actually exist?The cyan eyes that now studied Sreya's bent profile held so much respect and admiration for the woman tha

Golden beams of sunlight streaming in through the open windows perched on Xaver's skin like glitter, creating a halo effect around him. His naked chest arose and descended with each sleeping breath and his pitch-black hair as dark as night bore a disheveled look.Chocolate brown eyes studied eyelids that now hid beautiful cyan eyes from view and skimmed across full eyebrows in admiration. Submitting to temptation, Sreya traced the outline of Xaver's jaw and the underpart of his lower lip. A small frown touched his forehead but his eyes didn't open. Pulling her finger away from his warm skin, she studied him more for a silent moment before leaning down to press a soft lingering kiss to his mouth. This action prompted the flickering of heavy eyelids before there was an abrupt exposure of drowsy cyan eyes that now squnited at her face.

XAVER LIKED HIS new normal. For the past two weeks, he's been living a life of certified bliss. He got to wake up beside the love of his life every morning and go to sleep with her at night.Recently, Sre's nightmares have taken a more persistent and dark turn and it bothered Xaver deeply, even though he tried not to let it show. Could this be a warning for an impending doom? Or could this be just a subconcious reflection of her daily worry thoughts?Currently, he was having the cameras in her house removed. And whilst that was being done, he insisted she stayed with him. He wasn't comfortable with her staying where he couldn't see her everyday and know she's safe. That psychopath still prowled the streets and Xaver refused to take any chances.Sreya had taken a temporary leave of absence from work to remain home for some time. And recently he's been working from home but on the days he had to leave her,

Enchained<•>It was dark. Again. But... The smell was different. Alas, the woody odor she'd been accustomed to erstwhile still lingered... But the blistering feel of a heavy, densely cemented floor against her knees told her that the current venue differed greatly from the last. And unlike the last time, she didn't feel numb. Terrified, still? yes. But numb?... Not quite.Sreya was currently unclad... Her form curled in a terribly uncomfortable kneeling position. The cemented floor biting into the

"HOW MANY TIMES a day do pregnant women have mood swings?" Xaver inquired as he loosened the death grip his black tie had on his windpipes. Currently, he was seated in his car, outside his residence. The golden face that filled his screen frowned, "A gazillion times, why?" Xaver ignored her question, "Causes?" She lifted her thumb as she began to count, "Fatigue, anxiety, little to no sleep, hormones, et cetera" Xaver frowned. His wife wasn't anxious or sleep deprived so it must be the hormones? Or fatigue because she's always tired these days. "Any remedies for fast results?" Dinah wasted no time, "Exercise. Sweets. Stifling attention. Amazing foot rubs and body massages" Exercise. Check. Stifling attention. Check. Amazing foot rubs and body massages. Check. Sweets... Sounded like a bad idea. He's actually been m

{Freedom}XAVER'S CARE FOR speed limits flew out the window as he sped down tarred road, wheels racing towards John Bernards Hospital.He'd been working up a sweat in the gym when he'd gotten a call that Sreya was in the hospital, alive but unconcious. A humongous wave of icy relief had washed over him from head to toe, cooling his agitated mind and frantic nerves. He hadn't even bothered to take a shower, he'd only pulled a black shirt over his head and threw on jeans before running to his car. At least she was alive, she was all right... But was her mind okay? Would she be strong enough to pull through the trauma a second time? Will her heart be brave enough to heal like it'd done once?

IN THE IMMURING darkness, the private detective took an incredibly long drag of his cigar, upper eyelids drifting close as he felt the smoke heat his lungs and sheath his whole body in a buzzing satisfactory warmth.Sitting in his aweary Toyota, Gary ignored the harsh bite of the incredibly cold air on his nose and cheeks as he warmed his body from within. Gazing outside his window, he let his eyes roam the abandoned, crumbling building that had once been a mental asylum.The towering, desolate edifice illuminated by the faint, silver beams of the moon seemed ghostlier and more haunting than Gary remembered. As a long trail of dark smoke from his cigar ascended towards the pitch-black sky, he recalled the little he'd read about the deinstitutionalization of the yawning, tardily disintegrating building before him.Years ago, on a date that eluded him—Gary wasn't good with dates—th

Abused*:*Three weeks... It's been three weeks. Sreya's been counting. Every part of her exposed flesh was submerged in excruciating pain, so much so that it hurt to breathe. She felt weak and terribly drowsy.. As though, with each day that passed, she drew closer and closer to the stygian, dark gates of death. On some days, she came so close she could smell the rusty metal and taste it if she dared stick out her tongue.. But on days like this.. She realized that as much as she'd love to ecstaticly welcome her demise and surcease her suffering, she still had memories of Xaver, the girls and her family to keep her strong. She missed them so much and there was literally nothing she won't give to be with them at this moment. In the silence, the shrill

GARY HUTCHINSON LOOKED round his office with tired eyes and stifled a yawn. It was 8:37PM on a Thursday night and he was beyond exhausted. On some days, being a private investigator left you with some time on your hands.. On other days.. It didn't.Absentmindedly, he reached for the tumbler sitting beside his open laptop, swirling the yellowish liquid inside as he studied the picture of the young woman in front of him.Sreya Dronian. The Kirkgardes were willing to pay triple the price he'd normally charge if he could find her presto. The relationship between the doctor and the only heir to the Kirkgarde family fortune and business was roaringly overt and owing to this, their desperation failed to spark his surprise.Also, he wanted that money as much as he wanted to visit one of the best brothels in Verum City and soak himself inside a warm, willing body. Normally, Gary schedules his vis

PunishedΔ•ΔHe was... furious. Sreya could tell. From the sharp whooshing sounds of the whip slashing through the air, the explosive stinging, itchy sensation on her back and her broken flesh tinged with blood... She could tell.The candles were burning low again, casting scary silhouettes on the walls like they usually do. Through bloodshot eyes, she could make out series of ropes hanging on the wall..some, a little thinner than the others.. Sreya thought they bore an uncanny resemblance to BDSM tools.

LUCAS WAS LOST in thought, the paperwork on his desk already forgotten. He wasn't sure if it was the fact that Clara'd come in wearing a flimsy robe with nothing beneath or if it was her sexual, intoxicating scent that still lingered but he found himself on a trip down memory lane.They used to be so happy. So content. It'd been a hassle getting someone as terribly strong-minded as Clara to trust him fully but he'd succeeded and it'd been bliss.. A part of him still harbored hope that someday.. They'd be as happy as they'd once been but with every passing month that his wife barely glanced at him unless under public scrutinization.. Lucas watched the tiny ray of the light of hope at the end of the tunnel dim. Suddenly realizing he wasn't alone, blue eyes shifted to the door and he could swear his heartbeat picked up

CLARA KIRKGARDE LISTENED to the audible, oddly calming pitter-patter of raindrops on the windows as she proceeded to gently apply a layer of moisturizing lotion on her face.She was currently seated in front of her vanity, grey eyes trained on the mirror as slender hands made quick work of running a shiny paddle brush over her hair. When she was done, she dropped the hair detangler on the dressing table and embarked on the short journey to her bed. Relieving her naked flesh of the rose gold robe she'd been clad in, she shimmied under an immaculate white duvet and sighed in pleasure at the enveloping warmth and soothing softness. She yawned tiredly, eyelids slamming shut as she tried to sleep..But slumber evaded her and In less than a nanosecond, her mind

A WEEK AND a half.That's how long Sreya's been missing. That's how long he hasn't left his house. That's how long he hasn't shaved. That's how long he's not been answering calls or text messages. That's how long he's been.. Drinking.He looked like shit. And felt like shit.Dazed, he slowly swirled the golden liquid in his tumbler. Now, usually.. Xaver'd never turn to liquor whilst grieving. Matter of fact, it annoyed him when people did that but... You know when you're told never to judge other people until you've been in their position? Until you've walked in their shoes? You really shouldn't. Because.. He now understood why people turned to liquor. It kinda helps with the pain.. Numb it a little... Or it makes you think it's helping your pain.. And he needed that deception right now. Badly.His lips curling into a sad small smile, h
