Raphael This past month has been amazing. Even with work being busy, I still managed to make time for Ondina every day. I would take my lunch at the diner just to see her and most nights she stayed with me. It felt amazing to wake up next to her beautiful sleeping face. It even became a regular thing to see her friend lounging around as well. "You know, you might as well move in." I said as I slipped into my pants. Ondina looked at me through sleepy eyes, now sitting up in the bed."That doesn't sound too bad, I just might." She stretched out her arms and yawned. My heart fluttered at the idea. She has no idea how much I meant it. I reached into my closet grabbing a white button up and putting it on. "I'm gonna be gone late today. I have a lot of meetings so I might not be able to see you tonight." After I was fully dressed, I walked over to the bed and gently pressed my lips to hers. She moaned softly into my mouth as her arms wrapped around my neck."You sure you can't stay for a

RaphaelAs I walked into the luxurious café, I couldn't help but feel a sense of discomfort wash over me. "Hello, welcome to cafe Haven! Do you have a reservation?" The hostess asked me as I approached her."Yes, Raphael Lahsen, Thank you." She looked over a list of names on a tablet. Once she found what she was looking for, she smiled politely."Right this way, Mr. Lahsen." With a menu in hand, she guided me to a table off to the side. A large window sat beside it with a beautiful view of a garden with a tiny pond.Mrs. Delory was already seated at the table. Once she noticed me, she stood on her feet and gently un bunched her dress. Just get it over with. Taking a deep breath, I smiled and made my way over to her. "It's always a pleasure to see you, Mr. Lahsen." She stated as she walked towards me. To not much of a surprise, she threw her arms around me, embracing me. Her flirtatious nature and constant need for physical contact made me uneasy, but I couldn't afford to offend her

CelesteI couldn't believe it! My father, who had always given me everything I wanted, had allowed Raphael to break off our engagement. I was fuming with anger and disappointment. How could he do this to me? I sat in the living room, my heart racing as I tried to process the news. Raphael was the love of my life, and we were set to get married since we were small children and now, he is just gonna back out? I had been patient and let him fool around for years. I didn't put up a fuss and now all of a sudden, he called it off and now everything was falling apart. I looked at my father, who was sitting across from me. He was a wealthy businessman, and I was his only daughter. He had always spoiled me, and I knew he would do anything to make me happy. But this time, he had failed me."Daddy, how could you let this happen? You know how much Raphael means to me," I cried out, my voice trembling with anger. My father sighed, his face showing a hint of guilt. "I'm sorry, sweetie. I tried t

Unknown As I stood on the video set of the commercial shoot for our new skin care line, I couldn't help but feel a knot forming in my stomach. The creator of Truly Beautiful Cosmetics, Celeste, would be sitting in today. She was known for her impeccable taste and attention to detail, but she was also infamous for her short temper and rude behavior towards her employees. I watched as the design team frantically worked on the display for our skin care line. Celeste's sharp voice cut through the air, scolding them for not making it look more luxurious. I could see the fear in their eyes as they scrambled to make changes, afraid of incurring her wrath. But things took a turn for the worse when we moved on to shooting the commercial. Celeste repeatedly stopped takes as she ranted. She was livid at the poor lighting and unprofessionalism of the crew. She hurled insults and threats, causing a tense atmosphere on set. I felt the most for her poor assistant. She was taking insults left and

OndinaDetective Joe stood by the body of the latest victim, his eyes scanning every inch of the scene, looking for any evidence that could lead him to the killer. He had been on this case for three long years, and it was the most gruesome one he had ever encountered.The killer, known as the 'No Face Killer', had struck again and this time his victim was a young woman. Joe had been haunted by this case, the killer's signature was to peel off the victim's face, making it almost impossible to identify them. But Joe could tell from the woman's body that she was young, probably in her early twenties. He couldn't imagine the terror she must have felt before her face was ripped off.Her body was covered in bruises and cuts. There were clear signs of Sexual Assault and by the looks of her hands, she fought back hard. As he surveyed the scene, Joe noticed something different this time. The killer had left behind a clue, a small piece of paper with an address scribbled on it. It was the first

Ondina"I mean, who even needs wine that costs more than my rent? Just give me a burger and fries, thank you very much!" Camille added, shaking her head as if to erase some unseen pretense."But then, of course, he stumbles over his words like a puppy learning to walk." she smiled to herself in satisfaction. "Just the cutest thing."Ondina couldn't help but smile, allowing Camille's vibrant energy to seep into her own bones."Sounds like he's just trying to impress you," Ondina said, her voice soft but encouraging, as she pushed away the insecurities that clung like leeches."Yes! But he's so my type—clumsy, earnest, and completely oblivious to his own charm. I might actually be falling for him, Onny!" Camille's eyes lit up, mirroring the sparkle of hope that Ondina often carried within her but struggled to articulate. Aw."That's amazing, Camie," She replied, her heart swelling for her best friend."You deserve someone who makes you feel special and loved." As she spoke, she couldn't

RaphaelI walked into the lounge prepared for anything. If it was up to me, I wouldn't be wasting my time with this meeting, but my mom had set it up, so I had no choice but to come. Mason was nothing to me, and I had no interest in seeing him again. I honestly don't know how I am going to react to seeing him. My blood still boiled every time I replayed that day in my mind.It didn't help that Ondina refused to tell me anything about what actually happened. It bothered the hell out of me. I had given up on asking after the last time. It ended with me holding her in my arms while waiting on her panic attack to past. I didn't want to risk losing her over my own insecurities. I knew it had to be more than what I had walked in on, but I was hitting a dead end with her. Maybe with this meeting, I could get the answers I was looking for."Mr. Lahsen!" Mason greeted me with a stern handshake. He was slightly shorter than me, and his light hair was combed over. He gestured for me to sit and I

Rapheal"You son of a bitch," I growled,"I should fucking kill you." Mason put his hands up above his head."Hey, man! I thought we were keeping it professional." He's got a lot of nerves. We were drawing a lot of attention, and the last thing I needed was for a scandal to come from this. I released his shirt, letting him up."Geez." Mason rose to his feet rubbing his hand against his chest.Stepping towards him, it took all the strength that I had not to beat the shit out of him again."You can forget that partnership, you piece of shit!" I started coldly while staring him down."Are you serious?" Mason was looking directly at me."Dead ass." I hissed through gritted teeth as we had a stare off. It ended with me being the victor. I had to move away from him because if I stood there any longer, I knew things would be worse than it already was. We were in public. My actions could affect the company in a negative way."This meeting is done." I turned to head for the exit when I heard M

Five years later...I woke up to the ringing of an alarm clock. Like always, it was Ondina's. She had a million of them set for every ten minutes. What for? I had no idea, but today, it wasn't just an annoyance. It was a painful reminder of the chaos that was about to erupt. Fire year old twins were a force of nature. The ringing of the alarm grew louder. I groaned, reaching for the snooze button, but a gentle hand stopped me. "Don't even think about it," Ondina murmured, her voice laced with a sleepy smile. "The monsters will be here any minute."I still couldn't believe I was married to a woman so beautiful. Her dark hair was a tangled mess against the silk pillow and her eyes were still heavy with sleep, but the warmth radiating from her was undeniable. She was, indeed, my everything, and now, carrying our third child, she possessed a radiant glow that made my heart ache with a love so strong it sometimes felt like a physical weight."Monsters?" I teased, pulling her closer. "I

RaphaelI was just finishing up paperwork she my office door opened and in walked Celeste. She swung her hips a little too hard and she smelled of expensive perfume."Raphy, darling," she purred, the word sounding like a hiss on her tongue. "So good of you to see me.""Celeste," I replied.I was already annoyed and just wanted together this over with. "I wasn't aware I had a choice. Your unannounced visit last night hardly left me one."She ignored the chairs and sat her ass on the edge of my desk. Her crimson lips curved into a practiced pout. "Oh, don't be like that, Raphy. I just wanted to see you. To catch up."My jaw tightened. "Catch up? By crashing into my home, heavily intoxicated, and physically assaulting my wife?"Her perfectly practiced pout faltered and was replaced by a flicker of annoyance. "Ondina was being dramatic. It was merely a little… disagreement with her.""A disagreement that involved you grabbing her hair and screaming about how she stole your life?" "He

RaphaelThis could not be happening. Not tonight. Not when Ondina was finally happy. She lunged herself forward, trying to wrap her arms around my waist but I stiff armed her in the forehead."Celeste," I whispered."How did you find our- that doesn't matter." Trying to keep my voice calm I stated."You need to leave.""Leave?" she shrieked, Loud enough for the entire house to hear her. "Leave? After everything? After you promised me forever? You were supposed to be mine, Raphy!"Ondina appeared behind me, her face a mask of confusion and then, registration."How the fuck did you get here?" Ondina positioned herself between me and Celeste."Ondina!" Celeste shrieked again, pointing a wobbly finger in her face. "You! How does it feel living MY life?! I was supposed to be Mrs. Lahsen! I was supposed to live in this house! I was supposed to-" before she could continue, Ondina pushed her in the chest."Back up or I'll call the police!" Before Celeste could launch into another tirade, An

Raphael"Are you sure we can pull this off, Raf?" she asked, her voice tight as she surveyed the mountain of unopened boxes in the living room."The movers have it all covered, my love. Don't stress. " I kissed her forehead."It's just, with it being the twins' birthday, and the family dinner... it's all happening so fast." I could understand why she would be overwhelmed.not only was the twins birthday, it was also moving day. I wrapped my arms around her, burying my face in her beautiful curls. "Hey, breathe. We've got this, little flower. I'm here, aren't I? And besides, you're forgetting the cater we hired." She chuckled, some of the tension left her shoulders. "you're right. I'm over reacting. I need to calm down.""Exactly! Now, tell me, what's priority number one?""Getting Cam and Camie's play area set up. If they're happy, we're all happy." We exchanged smiles.She was right. Those two could bring the the sky down on us if they weren't happy, but they were the best kind of

MasonBreathing was becoming a task for me. Every breath hitched a ragged protest against the pain that I was feeling every day, but today... today was different. The air hung heavier. It was like I could feel my time running out. I knew. Today was the end, and Ondina words clung to my heart. "You're gonna die here, and no one will miss you." A sigh escaped my lips. I could tase the blood in my lungs. My vision was patchy and it burned to keep my eyes open. They had gotten used to the dark after months of being in it, but now, they were struggling against the glow of that one single bulb I hadn't know was there. Ondina forgot to turn it off and this was a new kind of torture.I was left here, visibly able to see just how far gone I was. In the dark, I couldn't see much detail of myself, but now, I could see everything. I was far from the man I used to be, and I had no one to blame but myself. Regret was a useless emotion now. A luxury I could no longer afford, but it was there and

OndinaHis face was gaunt, his eyes sunken and hollow. His hair was longer and his facial hair was unkept, like he hadn't shaves in months. His clothes were worn and filthy, clinging to his sickly frame. He looked like he hadn't eaten in months. He was looking up at her, his eyes wide with a flicker of... 'was it hope?'Ondina took a step back when the memories crashed down on her like a tidal wave of horror and pain.She could remember the fear, the sting of the restraints cutting into her skin, and the relentless torment. She could remember his cruel laughters as he had enjoyed her suffering and how he mocked her as she cried. The memory that paralyzed her the most was his haunting groans of Camilles name as he repeated it over and over again while he used her body for his own gratification. She remembered the agonizing pain of premature labor and the fear for her unborn children as the darkness swallowed her whole. She remembered every single detail.He had taken everything from he

OndinaThree days earlierAfter a sleepless night, Ondina watched as Anna cooed over the twins. "You're a lifesaver," Ondina said, forcing a smile. "I'll be back as soon as I can.""Take your time," Anna said, already distracted with a game of peek-a-boo. "They're in good hands."Ondina kissed each of her twins on the top of their heads she said her goodbyes. "Be good for Anna," she murmured, her voice thick with a mother's anxiousness."They'll be perfect angels, Onny, now shoo." Anna fanned Ondina towards the door.Ondina slipped out the door, her heart pounding in her chest. She drove carefully. Once she was on the highway, she pressed down on the accelerator. She was feeling every bit of anxious, but she needed answers. The drive was agonizing. Doubts gnawed at her. What if she was wrong? What if she was overreacting? But then she was flooded with the memory of the look on Raphael's face every time he told her he had a business trip, and her resolve hardened.Finally, she rea

RaphaelAs I stepped onto the balcony, the crisp morning air caressed my face. Sunrise bled across the horizon, painting the building tops in hues of rose and gold. It was a beautiful day. A perfect day, almost.Inside, Ondina was stirring, the soft laughter of our twins, was already filling the air, letting us know they were awake. The thought of them tugged a smile onto my face. Two perfect, healthy babies. I was truly blessed. After everything, we were finally moving forward in a positive direction.I leaned against the metal railing, the cold was slowly creeping into my hoodie, but I barely noticed. My gaze began to drift towards the light traffic beneath me as my thought began to consume me. It's bee six months. Six months that we've had him. Six months of torture, and I still didn't feel the satisfaction I though I would.Thomas stepped beside me, his face looked strained. "Coffee's on," he muttered he lit a cigarette with a shaky hand."When did you get her?" I asked, pushing

OndinaOndina stirred her tea as she stared aimlessly. Raphael's conversation with Thomas kept playing on repeat in Ondina's head. 'What is he hiding from me?' She felt desperate to know who was in that cabin, and why Raphael was so desperate to keep it secret that he would lie to her.Ondina knew Raphael wasn't always forthcoming, but this felt different. It felt deliberate, and it made her feel uncomfortable. Her gaze drifted to the two sleeping infants in their bassinets. Cameron looked so much like his father, and Camille was a miniature version of herself. They were the reason she needed to know. Their fragile, innocent lives deserved a foundation built on truth, not secrets.Taking a deep breath, Ondina reached for her phone. She scrolled through her contacts until she found Raphael's mother's number. She played out in her head what she wanted to ask, but had no idea how she should go about it. After a few minutes, she took a deep breath and dialed. after a few rings, his mother
