I stood there, frozen in shock, as I gazed at the frail, elderly man sitting in the wheelchair. His skin was pale and translucent, his eyes sunken, and his head was completely bald. He looked like a shadow of his former self, a mere specter of the man I had once known.

And yet, despite the ravages of time and illness, I knew that this was my father. I could see it in his eyes, in the shape of his nose, in the curve of his lips. It was a face that I had once loved, once trusted, and now...

Now, I felt a wave of emotions wash over me. Anger, sadness, pity, and frustration all swirled together in a toxic mix that left me feeling breathless and bewildered.

The nun's voice cut through my thoughts, her words a gentle reminder that I was not alone. "Your father has been waiting for you for a long time," she said, her eyes filled with compassion. "He's been suffering from a terminal illness, a brain cancer that has taken its toll on his body and mind."

I felt a surge of anger at her words. Ho

    I walked into the night club, the loud music and flashing lights enveloping me like a warm hug. I made my way to the bar, ordering a whiskey on the rocks. I downed it in one gulp, feeling the burn all the way down my throat.I ordered another, and another, losing count of how many I'd had. The music and lights began to blur together, and I felt myself becoming numb.I pulled out my phone and dialed Alex's number. He answered on the first ring, and I could hear the concern in his voice."Hey, man, what's going on?" he asked.I took a deep breath, letting it all spill out. I told him about my father, about the hospital, about the anger and hurt that had been building up inside me for so long.I told him about how I'd wanted to take revenge, to make my father pay for all the pain he'd caused me. But how now, it seemed like that was impossible."I'm so disappointed, Alex," I said, feeling the tears prick at the corners of my eyes. "I'm so disappointed that I'll never get to take revenge o

My wife looked around the office, taking in the sights and sounds of the busy workspace."So, this is where you'll be spending most of your time now," she said, nodding.I nodded, feeling a sense of pride and ownership. "Yes, it is. And I'm excited to get started and make a difference."My wife smiled and leaned in to kiss me again. "I'm proud of you," she said. "You're going to do great things here."I smiled back at her, feeling grateful for her support and encouragement. "Thanks, I couldn't do it without you," I said.We chatted for a few more minutes, catching up on each other's day and making plans for the evening. Then, my wife glanced at her watch and said, "I should probably get going. I have a meeting in 20 minutes."I nodded and walked her to the door, giving her a quick kiss goodbye. "Have a great meeting," I said. "I'll see you tonight."My wife smiled and waved, and then she was gone. I watched her go,

    I still remember the day my father scolded me for getting into a fight at school. I was only seventeen years old then. He hit me with his belt, and I was left with scars and bruises all over my body."You're so much trouble," he said, his voice filled with anger and disgust. "I wouldn't have adopted you if I knew you'd be such a problem."His words cut deep, and I felt a surge of pain and sadness. But I knew I had to be strong, so I didn't cry.After he left, his secretary, Mr. Cruz, came in and saw me lying on the floor. Instead of helping me, he just smiled and said, "Next time, don't take my words for granted."I was shocked and hurt by his response. I realized that I was truly alone, with no one to turn to for help.This wasn't the first time my father had been cruel to me. It had been happening since I was nine years old. I grew up in an orphanage, not knowing who my real parents were. The nuns who took care of me told me that my mother had left me outside the orphanage when I wa

    As I walked into my room, I locked the door behind me and sat in the dark corner, hugging my legs and resting my forehead on my arms. But my peace was short-lived, as I soon heard my father's angry voice shouting my name."Anton! Open this door right now!" he yelled, pounding on the door. I could tell by the tone of his voice that he was furious with me.But I didn't listen to him. Instead, I remained sitting where I was, staring at the door. After a few moments, the noise stopped, and an eerie silence fell over the room.Suddenly, I heard the door knob turn, and my eyes widened in shock as the door swung open. My father stood in the doorway, his face twisted in anger, holding a golf club in his trembling fist."D-dad," I stuttered, feeling fear as he stepped closer to me. I retreated away from him, but I was stunned when he pushed me against the wall, trapping me."I told you over and over again that you should never disobey me," he growled, his eyes blazing with anger. "But you stil

    As the priest pronounced us husband and wife, Brigitte and I faced each other, her smiling and looking at me with adoration. She placed her hand on my left arm, and we walked together out of the church, surrounded by cheering crowds and happy smiles. Our parents stopped us, beaming with pride. My father adjusted my tie and whispered, "Make her the happiest girl in the world, son." His face radiated joy, clearly thrilled to have secured a marriage between our two powerful families.Brigitte's mother hugged her tightly, while her father grasped my hands, his eyes stern. "Take care of our princess, and promise to love her with all your heart. Never make her cry, or I'll take her back from you." I nodded, trying to appear sincere, but my heart remained cold and detached.As we exchanged vows, I couldn't help but think about my true intentions. I was using Brigitte to gain power and control, to destroy those who had wronged me. My mind was set on revenge, and I would stop at nothing to ach

    I excused myself from Brigitte's side, telling her I needed to go to the restroom. But instead, I made my way through the crowded room, my eyes fixed on my target.As I approached him, I could feel my anger and hatred boiling over. I wanted to lash out, to hurt him, to make him pay for what he had done.But I didn't. I kept my cool, my expression neutral. I knew that I had to be calculated, that I had to plan my revenge carefully."Father," I said, my voice even.He looked up at me, a mixture of surprise and wariness on his face. "Anton," he replied. "I didn't know you were here.""I'm here with my wife," I said, my eyes locked on his. "Brigitte and I are supporters of this charity."He nodded, his eyes darting back and forth between me and Brigitte, who was oblivious to the tension between us."I see," he said. "Well, congratulations on your marriage. I'm glad to see you're settling down."I smiled, a cold, calculated smile. "Yes, I'm very happy," I said. "But I'm sure you're not her

    As we reached the bottom of the stairs, Brigitte stopped and turned to face me. She was smiling, but her eyes seemed to gleam with a mischievous light."Welcome to our secret world, Anton," she said, her voice dripping with excitement. "Here, we can be whoever we want to be, do whatever we want to do. No one will ever know."I felt a shiver run down my spine as I looked around. We were in a large, dimly lit room, the walls lined with ancient stone and the air thick with the scent of decay. It was a place that seemed to exist outside of time, a place where the normal rules didn't apply.Brigitte took my hand and led me deeper into the room. We walked past strange and ominous objects, each one more bizarre than the last. There were ancient artifacts, mysterious devices, and strange symbols etched into the walls.As we walked, Brigitte told me about the history of the mansion, about the secrets that lay hidden within its walls. She spoke of ancient rituals, of forbidden knowledge, and of

I asked, leaning forward in my seat.Rachel smiled. "It's a recording of a conversation between Sophia and one of her associates," she said. "In the recording, Sophia explicitly states that you we

But to my surprise, she wasn't lying in a hospital bed, she was sitting beside me, holding my hand and smiling weakly.I felt a wave of relief wash over me, and I quickly sat up, wrapping my arms around Bridgette in a tight hug. "Oh, thank god you're okay," I whispered into her hair, holding her close.Bridgette hugged me back, her arms trembling with emotion. "What happened to you?" she asked, her voice shaking with concern. "You're all beat up and bruised."I took a deep breath, trying to process everything that had happened. I looked over at Alex, who was standing on the other side of the hospital room, watching us with a concerned expression."Where do I even start?" I asked, shaking my head.Bridgette leaned back, her eyes locked on mine. "Start from the beginning," she said gently. "What happened after you left me?"I took another deep breath, and began to explain everything that had h

    As I slowly regained consciousness, I realized that I was in a completely different environment. I was shirtless, kneeling on a cold, hard floor, with both of my arms raised and tied. I tried to struggle, but my wrists were bound tightly, and I couldn't move.Suddenly, a bucket of cold water was poured over my head, and I gasped in shock. The water was icy cold, and it sent shivers down my spine. I coughed and spluttered, trying to catch my breath.As I looked around, I saw that I was in a dark room, with no windows or doors visible. The only light came from a faint, flickering glow that seemed to emanate from the walls themselves.I heard the sound of high heels clicking on the floor, and I turned my head to see Sophia walking towards me. She was dressed in a stunning black evening gown, her hair styled perfectly, and her makeup flawless.She sat down in a chair in front of me, her eyes fixed on mine. She didn't say a word, just watched me with an unnerving intensity. I tried to spea

    As I walked into my office, I couldn't shake off the feeling of curiosity and unease. I sat down at my desk, trying to focus on my work, but my mind kept wandering back to the mysterious note and the woman who had given it to me.Finally, I couldn't resist anymore. I pulled out the note and unfolded it, my eyes scanning the message. It was brief and cryptic, but it sent a shiver down my spine."Go to the rooftop," it said. "Come alone. Don't let anyone notice you."I hesitated, feeling a sense of confusion and uncertainty. What was going on? And who was behind this mysterious message?But despite my reservations, I found myself getting up from my desk and walking out of my office. I tried to act normally, so that no one would notice me leaving. I walked down the hallway, took the elevator to the top floor, and then made my way to the rooftop.As I stepped out onto the rooftop, I saw the woman again. She was standing with her back to me, looking out over the city. She was wearing a red

    As I sat there, lost in my own thoughts and doubts, a man walked into the restaurant and caught my eye. He was tall, with a rugged jawline and a messy mop of hair. He looked familiar, but I couldn't quite place him.As he approached my table, I felt a sense of confusion. Who was this guy? And why was he sitting down in front of me?"Hey, buddy," he said, with a friendly smile. "I'm Alex. We've been friends for years."I stared at him, feeling like I'd been punched in the gut. Friends? Years? I didn't remember this guy at all.Alex seemed to sense my confusion, and his expression turned sympathetic. "I heard about what happened to you," he said. "I heard you lost your memories."I nodded, feeling a sense of embarrassment. "Yeah. I don't remember anything."Alex nodded understandingly. "Well, let me tell you a story. We used to come to this restaurant all the time. It's your favorite place, and you always order the same thing: a burger with extra cheese and a side of fries."As Alex spo
