Emily, the woman who became my world, was gone, and with each passing day, the longing in my heart grows stronger, mingling with a raging storm of emotions that I can't control.I miss her in every breath I take, in every beat of my heart. She was the fire that ignited my soul, the one who brought warmth and light into the darkest corners of my existence. Her laughter was a melody that resonated in my every waking moment, and her touch, a balm that soothed my restless soul. Now, all I have are memories, and they torment me with her absence.My temper, always a force to be reckoned with, has been on a hair-trigger since she departed. I've lashed out at everyone who dared to come near me, driven by frustr

In the chaos of my thoughts, your love was the only clarity I found. -Unknown. |N I C O L A S|It's been two fucking months since I last saw her, heard her voice and felt her warmth. She has been away from me for two months now and each passing second is just the time went in trash can. Because the time without her is just that, waste. Shawn has been working day and night on finding her location. I did not knew Germany could be that big when it comes to finding a person. Sometimes I am just tempted to fly to the country itself and look for her in each and every corner to find her. "How is life treating my favourite brother?" The bane of my existence, my younger brother, entered the penthouse with the usual annoyance and irritation he radiates by being in my presence. I rolled my eyes at him in response. He knows about Zyra, even if he is not present here 24x7, he sure does have all the news even before me. Thanks to our gossip quee

In the depths of despair, I found my strength. And in the weariness of it all, I discovered my resilience. -Unknown. |Z Y R A|So many days in this room, and each day feels heavier than the last. I am trapped in this bleak chamber, tied to a chair, my strength waning as time stretches on.The initial fear and panic have now given way to a numbing exhaustion. Every part of my body aches, and I've lost track of the days. The room offers no solace, its walls bearing silent witness to our ordeal.As the days turn to weeks, I've learned to find solace in the simplest of things. A ray of weak sunlight that filters through a crack in the window, a distant sound that hints at life beyond these walls – they're the small fragments of hope that keep me going.But the room itself is a prison, and the air hangs heavy with despair. It's as if the very walls are closing in on me, smothering my hope. I miss the world outside, the breeze on my face, and

In the darkest of times, I found the light of my life. After two long months, she's not a dream; she's real. -Unknown. |N I C O L A S|"I've found something," Shawn said, rising from my solitude, I turned to look at him.He held his laptop in hand, but his gaze was fixed on me. "Cillian Vader," he uttered a name I had never heard before. I had no idea how this person related to Zyra's case."Who is he?" I inquired. Shawn took a seat on the couch in my room and began, "He's one of us." I glanced at him with confusion etched across my forehead."What does that mean?" I asked.It had been over two months since Zyra had left, but she remained firmly entrenched in my mind. Her thoughts accompanied me wherever I went. The emptiness in my room chased me and the loneliness in my heart pricked me like a thousand needles throughout the day.My patience was unraveling, and I had no inkling of where she was and in what state she found herself."Do

After the long night of separation, the dawn of hope has finally broken. -Unknown. |Z Y R A|Cillian's presence in the room had become an oppressive weight, a constant reminder of my captivity. He skulked around like a predator, always seeking an opportunity to invade my personal space with his unsettling touches that sent shivers of disgust down my spine. Each time his fingers grazed my skin, it felt as though a swarm of insects crawled beneath the surface, leaving me with an overwhelming sense of revulsion.But in this moment, as I sat on the chair, a rare glimmer of relief washed over me. Surprisingly, I had been receiving proper nourishment these days, even if it was driven by Cillian's twisted desire to keep me near. It was a bizarre situation, one I couldn't even begin to explain. But as long as it meant I was in a better physical state, I couldn't afford to care about the motivations behind it.In the midst of my captivity, anoth

What is stronger than the human heart which shatters over and over and still lives. -Unknown. |N I C O L A S|I woke with a jolt, my mind racing with thoughts of Zyra. Restlessness gnawed at my insides, rendering every other concern trivial. I tried to distract myself, to immerse in the mundane tasks of the day, but her absence loomed over my consciousness like a suffocating shadow, leaving me unable to grasp onto anything else. Where was she? Why did her absence feel like an unspoken void in my existence, a chasm I couldn't ignore? My fingers twitched involuntarily, yearning for the comfort of her touch, my heart beating in erratic rhythms, echoing the turmoil within. Every passing second without her felt like an eternity, and my attempts to focus on anything else were futile, as if the universe conspired to keep my thoughts fixated solely on her.I fumbled for my phone, my fingers trembling as I dialed Shawn's number. Each ring felt

Keep me together, do not abandon me. Hold my bones together. -Unknown. |Z Y R A|I tugged against the rough ropes binding my wrists, the fibers cutting into my skin as I strained to break free. With each futile attempt, the realization of my vulnerability settled in, mingling with the simmering anger that threatened to consume me. The shadows seemed to grow thicker, the stale air heavy with the weight of impending confrontation.Cillian is again here, after two days of disappearing, trying to keep everything underground, away from the vicinity of Nicolas and his best programmer, Shawn. He is here, panic written in bold letters on his face as his men faced the result of his failure, his wrath. His agitated footsteps echoed across the room, his features contorted in a mask of anxiety and frustration. "How could he have found us?" he muttered, his voice a low growl of disbelief. "I took every precaution, every measure to ensure our anonymit

It was not a dream to be with you. It was a prayer. -Unknown. |N I C O L A S|As I stood overlooking the sun kissed Calabria, the waves crashing below seemed to mirror the turmoil within me. My heat raced as I thought of Zyra, the woman who managed to fucking entangle her soul in mine with so fucking perfection that it almost suffocates me to breath without her. Only, I know how I have been surviving on my own these past few months. Maybe it was the hope of getting her back where she belongs. By my fucking side. I had gathered my team, the only people I trusted in this treacherous world, to launch an assault on the fucker who dared to lay his hand on my woman. Zyra is only mine to touch, torment and ruin. No one else has the right to even think otherwise. Shawn, the tech whiz with a knack to hack into the most secure system, was typing furiously on his laptop mapping out the building's security system. Crystal, the lethal fighter,

Life starts all over again when it gets crisps in the fall. -F. Scott, Fitzgerald. |N I C O L A S|Two months later..."Is it even good to eat pickles and chocolate together?" I ask Flora, who sat beside me eyeing the food eating monster ahead of us. Two bowls, one of pickle and another of chocolate rests on the table and we are strictly ordered to keep my eyes off that food, because apparently, that weird combination of food only belongs to her. We would not even like to ruin our taste buds with that. Thank you very much. "Does it matter?" Flora asked me, holding the glass of warm milk in her hand that Zyra needs to drink to digest all the food she has been eating lately. "She would not stop, anyways." She shrugged. "Why don't you talk to her about it?" I tell Flora, because if I would go to talk to her she would start throwing things at me, which includes everything from cushion to flower vase. "And, get myself admitted in the hospital?" Flora

Until you have tethered your madness to someone else's sanity in order to keep breathing, you don't know vulnerability. -Nicole Lyons.|Z Y R A|In one quick move he reached for me, tugging me against his chest as he claimed my mouth with his, in a kiss that was so much hotter and possessive. His lips slanted over mine, hot and needy as his tongue tasted my mouth. I froze in shock for two seconds or three before I kissed him back. His mouth was punishing, slamming against mine, savage and raw. He attacked me with his lips and I met every single assault of his, I moaned into his mouth. Explosions of sensation that I felt all over my body as his mouth attacked mine were so intense. I kissed him just as savagely, channelling all my rage into the kiss, biting his bottom lip, hard. I bit hard enough that it draw out blood and I tasted blood, my tongue darted out to swipe at his lips. He growled low in my throat, pulling me closer. His to

People will kill you over time, and how they will you is with tiny, harmless phrases, like "be realistic". -Dylan Moran. |N I C O L A S|The loud piercing scream of the man travelled to my ears, providing the extreme relief. In the shadowed recesses of the chamber, an oppressive malevolence hung thick in the air, suffocating reason and festering in the very marrow of the room. The acrid scent of fear, a tangible miasma, intermingled with the metallic tang of desperation, creating a spectral atmosphere that clawed at the edges of sanity.Cillian, the hapless who had dared to sever the tether to my soul, now cowered in the spectral gloom, his futile resistance against unyielding restraints a pitiful ballet of despair.A cruel grin twisted my lips, a grotesque mask of malevolence that reflected the abyssal darkness within.The flickering light, a feeble sentinel against the encroaching shadows, cast ominous shapes upon my countenance, morphi

And, I wonder what is a greater wish, this entire world or to be free from it. - Cara Dekel.|Z Y R A|Two months later..The morning sunlight streamed through the curtains, casting a warm glow on our shared space. Nicolas, with his overbearing protectiveness, insisted on handling even the lightest chores, citing potential risks that only his mind could conjure. A simple task like reaching for a cereal box became a hilarious dance of him swiftly gliding in, determined to be my knight in shining armor."Nicolas, I'm just grabbing some cereal, not defusing a bomb," I teased, watching his serious expression dissolve into a reluctant grin."You never know, love. Pregnancy cravings can be unpredictable," he quipped, handing me the cereal box with a flourish.Did I mentioned that ever since he has started calling me love, I get this weirdly good feeling enough my stomach where I just wants to remove everything from between us and kiss him?Just like Ni

No human being has ever stood so close to my soul as you stood. -James Joyce. |N I C O L A S|I stood at the edge of the hospital bed, Zyra resting peacefully amidst the sterile surroundings. Her dark hair spilled over the pillow, a cascade of untamed waves framing the serenity on her face. The lines of worry that had etched themselves into her features were softened, replaced by a newfound vitality. The transformation was as palpable as the anticipation in the room.My gaze lingered on the subtle curve of her belly, evidence of the life growing within. The very thought of the tiny heartbeat beneath her skin fueled a fierce protectiveness within me.Zyra's lashes cast delicate shadows on her cheeks, and the rise and fall of her breathing was a soothing rhythm. The beeping of the machines served as a background melody, a reminder of the fragility of life and the strength that could emerge from vulnerability.Her hand, warm and delicate, reste

In the era of calamities, you are a moment of peace. -Unknown. |Z Y R A|Noah's words rings in my ear, 'Both, the mother and the baby are fine.'Who the hell is the baby, they are talking about?When I asked the question, everyone in the room shared looks with each other as if contemplating whether to tell me or not. "What is it?" I asked, no one in particular. Because judging from their faces whoever answers my question can enter in the list of my favourite people. Shawn, who is standing at the foot of my bed spares a glance to his boss, as if telling hin that it is all on him. Aleeza and Crystal looks worried and concerned? No idea what it is but I am starting to realise it is pretty serious. "Noah, what baby are you talking about?" I ask the doctor himself, not relying on the people around me. Because right now, they are as good as a phone without internet. Noah looks guiltily between me and Nicolas as if contemplating whether to an

You touch me like everything you asked god for. Underneath your hands I become poetry. This is the alchemy that you do. -Unknown. |N I C O L A S|She woke up. After two days of misery, two days of going through absolute hell, she finally rewarded me with her life. Her hauntingly green eyes came to my view and I swear I have never breathed and sighed in relief more. Her pale face slowly returned to life and all I could do was thank her for returning. She came back, that's all matters.Her gaze met mine, and in that charged moment, time seemed to hold its breath. The room, still and sterile, bore witness to a reunion tinged with the weight of our shared history. Her green eyes, a repository of unspoken stories, traced the lines of my face as I stood at the threshold of her recovery."David," she spoke my name, the syllables carrying a resonance that echoed through the silent space. A fragile smile played on her lips, revealing a vulnera

Today once again on the thread of my sorrows,I have strung the flowers of your memory. -Faiz Ahmed Faiz. |Z Y R A|My eyes flutter open, and for a moment, the world is a blurry canvas of shapes and shadows. The soft hum of machines and distant shuffles of footsteps weave into my consciousness, creating a disoriented symphony. Where am I? What happened?As clarity gradually infiltrates the haze, the sterile scent of a hospital seeps into my awareness. White walls stand guard around me, and the rhythmic beeping of monitors punctuates the stillness. Panic flutters within me, a caged bird desperate for release.I turn my head, a slow, deliberate movement that sends a wave of dizziness through me. The sight of an IV drip, its thin tube disappearing into my arm, anchors me to a reality I struggle to grasp.
