View MoreDavid took me back to the empty room where he had locked me up the first time. His face showed how he was feeling. He was breathing heavily, as if he wanted to do something but didn't want to. I felt scared, disappointed and confused.“Hanna,” he said, stepping closer."Stay away!" I backed away slowly until I hit the brown table in the centre of the room. “I….” I felt like I couldn't speak, after seeing the writing on the white paper I saw a few seconds ago. 'I'm disgusted with you.”''Hanna, listen to me!'' “Shut up, David!' I said. The voice came out higher than I expected. I could feel its sharp vibrations, bouncing from wall to wall until it echoed throughout the room. “Shut up.” I repeated. David didn't move. He was still standing there, rubbing his face and trying to calm himself down. ”Hanna...'' “I hate you.” My voice was shaky and full of emotion. ”I know,” He interrupted, looking at me with uncertainty. “I knew you would mad at me. But, listen, Hanna, if you want to sur
David placed the steak on the plate, serving it with mayonnaise sauce and grilled corn. He placed it in front of me. The fragrant aroma of the food immediately filled the air around us. With a calm motion, he set the plate in front of me, staring at me for a moment before sitting across the table.He took a fork and began cutting the steak on his plate. “I live in this house alone,” he started the conversation. “The house you usually visit, that’s my parents’ house.”I furrowed my brows. My heart raced, mixed with embarrassment. “How did you know?”He nodded firmly. “You’re always consistent in waiting for me and my family in front of the house or at the office, aren’t you? Just to get answers to all your questions.” He laughed, as if satisfied with the look of embarrassment on my face.“Other journalists do the same thing, not just me,” I defended myself.“No, Hanna.” He shook his head slowly, his eyes never leaving mine. “No,” he answered with a deeper, more serious tone. “You’re di
The light from the lamp enveloped the room with warmth. We were sitting on the bed, leaning against the soft headboard, with a blanket casually draped over my legs and his.I leaned next to Mr. David. My hair was a little messy, a trace of the warmth we had shared just minutes ago. I touched his fingers, gently caressing them as if transferring energy to him. His fingers were warm and solid, feeling so real in my grasp.He enjoyed every rhythm of my fingers in his hand. I didn’t know what he was thinking, but I knew this was a moment where the outside world seemed to stop. It was just the two of us."I've paid the price, haven't I?" I said, settling my body closer to him. "Tell me everything about you, Mr. David."He gave a small smile. I could even hear the sound of his laugh near my ear. "Are you sure?"I nodded without hesitation, even though my heart was pounding. His words seemed to carry a warning. But I had come this far. I wouldn't back down from the challenge."Tell me, all t
Two days after the incident on his private island,there was no new information about Mr David. All the information was still focused on the rumors about his illegal business.I had briefly considered going back to the island to ask Mr. David about everything, but when I remembered an envelope that had been sent to my house, I thought twice. The message echoed clearly in my mind, turning my curiosity into deep doubt.With a heart full of confusion and anxiety, I looked ahead, trying to process what I should do next.After waiting all day outside Mr. David's office, I decided to complete my investigation. As I walked down the dark, seemingly deserted street, suddenly a car stopped right next to me. The door opened, and in the blink of an eye, they forced me into the car.The car sped off quickly, leaving the empty street behind, and all I could do was remain silent inside. Without any chance to ask questions or protest. I looked at the two figures sitting beside me. They turned out to b
The music was still blaring that afternoon. Some were partying, eating, and surfing with gusto. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Me, still standing in front of the glass, waited for Mr.David to pull a blue folder from the shelf. After he got the book. He placed it on the brown table of his desk. The folder was thick and worn. He opened it from the back, and stopped at a sheet containing a photograph. Underneath it was a date written in black ink that was still clear. 13 August. The date that was in my question moments ago. The date I was desperate to get an answer to from Mr. David. When I saw his eyes, he stared at the date for a long time, his eyes seemed to be full of feelings that were difficult to interpret. “This is what you asked me.” he said as he pushed the folder slightly towards me. “Look at this photo carefully.” he said while reading the look on my face. As if in the hope that I would understand the meaning of the photo. “The answer to your question about the
I stood in the midst of all the people dancing to the music that could be heard all the way to the end of the island. A glass of champagne was clutched in one hand and still full, I hadn't had a sip. My eyes were fixed on the object that was the reason I was on this island. David Alexander Thomas, the man rumoured to have an illegal business with blood on his hands. His name was always in my head when I received this business. He stood at the centre of the conversation, surrounded by several women with fake smiles.This man was not just a target. He was a threat, someone who operated under the shadow of the law, with rumours of a business full of blood and dark secrets. I decided to approach him.I gulped down my drink and placed my empty glass on a nearby table, then began to step quietly towards him. As we got closer, he turned his head, as if he noticed me before I even spoke. His smile was small, but there was a sharp look in his eyes.“Mr.David,” I said in a casual tone, as if w
