2024-01-19 23:44:49"Looks like a bright day."
A comment Garrett received as he stepped out of the elevator made him cough for a moment. He turned to see Amber and Sherly greeting him.
"Good morning, sir."
Garrett nodded at his two secretaries in unison. Then his briefcase changed hands and Amber took it.
"Good morning."
Upon entering his office, Garrett, as usual, took off the jacket he was wearing and handed it to Amber to hang. That was when Amber spoke.
"I've rescheduled the meeting with Mr. Hugo for three nights from now, sir."
Garrett loosened his tie slightly, turned on the computer, and nodded nonchalantly.
"Good."
Amber scrolled through the tablet screen in her hands, carefully examining Garrett's schedule. Then she noticed something that was bothering her. About ten days from now, on the weekend to be exact.
With a hint of hesitation, Amber raised her face to look at her boss, who seemed ready to start work that morning.

He continued, undeterred, even when his efforts caused the table to break, he persisted. All to free himself from Ariel's grasp."Ariel, please. Stop!"Instead of stopping his actions, Ariel became more eager. One of his hands moved, grabbing the sleeve of Elice's shirt, and ripping it with a single tug. He did not care if his nails left scratches on her smooth skin.Elice screamed. The pain and fear made her even more afraid."No, Ariel. Please don't do this."Ariel grinned and held the torn piece of shirt to her nose, sniffing the scent.A shiver ran through Elice's body. Stiffly, she tried to shake her head, knowing she was hoping for the impossible."Don't, Ariel. I beg you, don't do this to me."But these pleas would be useless. They

Truly, he felt a threatening tightness that seemed ready to explode and crush his chest in the near future. It was agonizing.Elice's screams, tears, and the tightness of her hands wrapped around him, along with her face landing on his chest, were a perfect combination to darken Garrett's eyes. He would not ask what had happened. The fear and suffering Elice was going through was so vivid to Garrett."G-Garrett."Even her trembling voice conveyed unmistakably all the horrors that had enveloped Elice. Her body was cold. It felt so fragile."A-Are you okay?"Garrett's voice trembled just as much as Elice's, but for different reasons.

Ariel ran his hands through his wet, sweaty hair. His breath was heavy and his heart was racing. His body felt like it wanted to explode in the burning heat. As time passed, the fire inside him seemed to burn even brighter."Ariel, please. Stop!""No, Ariel. Please don't do this.""Don't, Ariel. I beg you, don't do this to me."Ariel closed his eyes tightly and shook his head repeatedly as his hands clenched and pulled at his own hair. His body became even more drenched in the pouring sweat that poured over him."No. No. No."Elice's image flashed through his mind. The terrified face could not be erased from his mind. Even when he closed his eyes, the scene became even clearer."I truly regret ever loving you. You are never worthy of love."And among those haunting memories, it was those two sentences that made Ariel lose control. Suddenly, with a menacing tone, he rose from his seat and swep

When Elice accepted Garrett's invitation, she had no idea of the consequences of her answer. That by agreeing to be Garrett's date to Brenda's birthday party, she would have to go through a series of activities. From picking out a dress, shoes, and a bag. Then moving on to checking out the salon and identifying some specific allergies she might have related to beauty products."One of the advantages of having exotic skin," Elice said with a stiff expression. "Usually more tolerant of allergies."The middle-aged woman serving Elice at the time was the manager.

Elice had just left Garrett's side less than five minutes ago. She wanted to go to the toilet. But here she was now. Not in the toilet. Instead, in a secluded corner covered by plant leaves. With one hand covering her mouth. Suppressing any possibility of expressing her surprise, or even a gasp of shock.Elice's eyes widened, the only physical expression she could muster for the shock and anger she could not articulate.It was Ariel. Since the beginning of Elice and Garrett's arrival, he had not taken his eyes off them. He was waiting. Extremely patiently. Like a predator unwilling to lose its prey.Finally, the opportunity came. Almost after an hour and a half of holding his breath because of the intimacy that was forming between Elice and Garrett. Especially with the fact that he had to admit. How beautiful and charming Elice looked that night.I should be the one standing next to her. I should be the one with her.In the end, Ariel said

"You bastard, Garrett."Garrett's jaw tightened. "Aren't you the bastard?" he retorted. "You should be grateful to Elice for not reporting you to the police. I wonder how Aunt Farrah would react if she saw your misdeeds."Ariel growled. He stood up, wiping the blood from his nose with his hand.Garrett held his breath, knowing he would get a third punch and a second kick if he decided to stay. He had to leave immediately. Before he lost control completely."We're leaving, Elice."Garrett grabbed Elice's hand and wanted to take her away right away. But Ariel's voice made him stop."You know, Garrett? Elice is my ex-girlfriend. She's my past."Even Elice could feel the emotions that had enveloped Garrett. Through Garrett's grip, which tightened, causing Elice to stifle her chuckle.Where he stood, Ariel chuckled."In the end, Elice will come back to me. Because from the beginning she loved only me. And only I will be the o

Out of breath, Elice fought to keep breathing. She clung to the wall behind her, trying to stay standing while her knees felt like they were melting. She could collapse at any moment. Fortunately, there was a strong hand firmly supporting her waist, preventing that possibility.Garrett's fingers traced Elice's jaw, lifting it as the owner leaned down to erase the opening of Elice's parted lips with a kiss that eagerly welcomed him. Elice's hand rose and cupped the curve of Garrett's as his lips further weakened her already shaky knees. She needed stronger support than just the wall.Garrett pressed his lips against Elice's, moving with a rhythmic flow that made Elice squirm. He pushed forward, pinning Elice between his body and the wall, leaving no meaningful distance between them.The kiss stopped, and with a breath as labored as Elice's, Garrett felt his body tense with each passing second. He opened his eyes, struggling to see how Elice, seemingly as helpless

When consciousness returned, Elice opened her eyes and blinked a few times. She tried to adjust her retinas to the surroundings—bright and slightly blinding from the light that managed to get in through the ventilation.Elice remembered vaguely. It was one of the things she liked about the unit Garrett had prepared for her. The layout and equipment of the room allowed the light of life to enter, providing illumination that could disturb her peaceful sleep.Just like what Elice had experienced this morning. Although, in reality, it wasn't just the sunlight that was the sole reason for her awakening. Instead, there was also a faint touch that had been greeting her hair ever since. Something that had become a trigger.Elice turned and looked back to find Garrett staring at her with a pair of clear eyes. A clear sign that he had been awake longer than she had."Good morning."Garrett's deep voice greeted Elice's ears, making her brow furrow for a moment. Perhaps he was trying to gather fr

Farrah fell silent. Her face hardened and remained unmoved as the sad question was directed at her."Are you satisfied now?" Kurt stared at Farrah, his face and eyes red. Tears dried on his cheeks. "Are you happy now?" Kurt asked again. "Will you be satisfied only when Ariel is dead?"Farrah's breath caught in her chest for a moment. Her chest rumbled. Was Kurt really going to accuse her like that?"Kurt."Kurt's hand gripped Farrah's upper arm. He squeezed it with the fury of a father who had lost his son. Anger and sadness collided in his eyes."I told you, Farrah. I told you repeatedly. And now you see the consequences of your actions?"Kurt's shoulders trembled with painful sobs.

"Ariel. Ariel. I beg you, Ariel."Elice shook Ariel's body. But Ariel didn't move at all. Completely still."Ariel, please."Elice let go of Ariel's hand. Just to touch his face. Just to feel that there was no feeling there.Ariel's eyes opened. Unblinking. Unfocused. Those eyes had lost their light. Faded. Gone. Leaving behind a reality that made Elice's tears flow uncontrollably.There was no breath. No more pulse. No more heartbeat. All signs of life were gone. Just as the soul had finally left its body."Ariel!" Elice sobbed. She embraced Ariel's lifeless body. Holding it tight.

Ariel winced. Ignoring the pain in his stomach, he tried to stand up. But as soon as his body was lifted slightly from the ground, he fell again."Ariel!"Elice screamed when she saw Ariel's condition. He looked at her. He tried to speak."I-I'm okay."Elice shook her head. She knew for sure that Ariel wasn't okay right now. His condition was truly pitiful. But compared to that, there was something even more pitiful. That was her inability to do anything about it."Do you see that, Elice?" Farrah's voice made Elice turn around. The expression of hatred towards her was clearly overflowing. "Because of you," Farrah said in a trembling voice. "Ariel dares to defy me. His own mother."Elice shook her head. She tried to stand, but her legs felt completely powerless. Not to mention walking, even standing still was difficult for her."You are such a troublemaker, Elice.

For a moment, darkness was all Elice could feel. Until voices touched her senses. Awakening her consciousness. Pushing her to open her eyes.Elice's eyelids fluttered. Blinking repeatedly. Trying to open. And a wrinkle formed on her forehead.The voice was familiar. Causing Elice's eyes to focus even more. To look around. The place where she was right now.Elice wasn't sure where she was right now. The place seemed untidy. Untouched by humans and neglected for a long time.Dirty. Dusty.

Even if I have to get rid of Elice!"Elice turned away. Trying to get up, but unable to, she could only look straight ahead.

He realized something and immediately contacted two different people.The first was Garrett. Reluctantly, Ariel once again ignored all the arguments between them. None of it mattered when Elice's safety was at stake with every decision he made.However, contacting Garrett didn't immediately ease Ariel's mind. For Ariel knew exactly what Farrah was like.
