REBECCADisorientation gripped me as I slowly regained consciousness, my head throbbing relentlessly. I struggled to open my eyes, only to be blinded by the harsh sunlight filtering through the window. Reflexively, I shut them again, seeking solace from the brightness.Confusion gnawed at me, and a sense of unease jolted me awake. With a sudden surge of alarm, I sat up in bed, realizing that this wasn't my familiar room. I glanced down and noticed the soft black comforter, a sight that struck panic into my heart. Everything around me seemed strangely familiar yet foreign at the same time.In a rush of adrenaline, I turned my head to the left, and a startled cry escaped my lips. Beside me sat Artemy, his back resting against the headboard, silently observing my frantic state. It dawned on me that I was in his room, a revelation that sent shivers down my spine.The last thing I remembered was succumbing to exhaustion, collapsing onto my own bed, surrendering to the sweet embrace of slee

REFFAELEI descended into the cold basement, feeling a sense of familiarity wash over me as I breathed in the musty scent. Upon reaching the bottom of the stairs, I paused, a wicked smile forming on my lips."Hello, Herman," I greeted calmly, my voice echoing through the silence of the room.Herman's head snapped up, his eyes shooting daggers at me with an intense glare."You despicable bastard! What is the meaning of this? Release me!" he bellowed in fury, straining against the chains that bound his wrists and ankles.I couldn't help but chuckle at his futile struggles as I casually leaned against the wall. He was securely chained, blood staining his wrists and ankles from his desperate attempts to break free. The back of my gun had left a gash on his head, causing blood to trickle down his face.Sweat and grime covered his visage, and a few strands of hair clung to his forehead as he breathed heavily, clearly exhausted from hours of fighting against his restraints. He appeared like

ARTEMYBrayden's frustration grew evident as he paced the room like a caged animal, running his fingers through his hair in exasperation. I sat behind my table, crossing my arms over my chest, observing the scene unfold. Leon, worn out and exhausted, reclined on the couch with his eyes shut tight."I can't believe this. How haven't we found that bastard yet?" Brayden spat angrily. Leon muttered under his breath, "He's good. Really damn good. The bastard knows how to disappear."I had to admit Leon was right. My team had been tirelessly searching for the traitor for days, utilizing the best tracking methods available, yet we were still empty-handed. I turned my head from side to side, trying to release the tension in my neck. Frustrated, I massaged my forehead and leaned forward, resting my elbows on the table."You're right. He's undoubtedly skilled. But he can't hide forever," I said."The longer it takes to find him, the more havoc he wreaks!" Brayden snapped back."We will find hi

ARTEMYA sudden loud bang jolted me awake, causing my eyes to snap open in fear. "Mommy?" I called out, desperately seeking her reassurance. I felt her hands urgently grabbing me, yanking me out of bed. The room was flooded with bright lights, and as I blinked away the remnants of sleep, another deafening bang echoed through the air. I flinched involuntarily, my heart racing as screams reached my ears."Mommy, what's happening?" I stammered, my voice trembling with dread.She knelt down in front of me, and the sight of sheer terror etched on her face widened my eyes in disbelief. My stomach sank, and my chest constricted with a sense of impending danger."Mommy," I whispered, my voice barely audible."Artemy, listen carefully," she began, her voice quivering with fear. "I want you to hide under the bed, okay? No matter what happens or what you see or hear, you mustn't come out. Do you understand?" Mommy gripped my shoulders, shaking me gently, urgency radiating from her.I nodded, but

REBECCABeside me, Lynda burst into squeals of laughter. "Oh my God! This is hilarious!" She turned towards me, still chuckling. "You have to admit, this one was pretty funny." I shrugged, half-hearted, and redirected my attention to the movie playing on the screen. We had settled down to watch "Hangover 2," a film that was far too crude for my taste. Yet, amidst my reservations, I found myself succumbing to fits of laughter when a character discovered he had unknowingly slept with a man, mistaking him for a woman. The shocking revelation sent shivers down my spine, partly due to the excessive nudity on display. After a while, Lynda hit pause on the movie and shifted her focus towards me. "Okay, what do you want to watch? It's clea

REBECCA My gaze wandered away from him, fixating upon the grand piano. Its beauty mesmerized me, filling me with an instant sense of serenity. Embracing myself, I took a few steps forward and positioned myself in the center of the room. My eyes remained fixed upon the piano, and an irresistible urge to caress its velvety keys surged within me. Defeated, my shoulders slumped, and I tore my gaze away from the instrument, directing it towards Artemy. His intense eyes were already locked onto me, though their meaning remained inscrutable. Our eyes locked, refusing to waver. The intensity between us grew as seconds ticked by. A lump formed in my throat, and with a deep gulp, I finally looked away. Unable to resist, my gaze shifted downward, tracing the path to his chest. What I saw nearly took my brea

REBECCA As the first song came to an end, an irresistible impulse took hold of me, compelling me to continue playing. I couldn't resist the pull, so I allowed my fingers to glide across the keys once more, producing the beautiful notes of one of my all-time favorite songs, "I Won't Give Up." It used to be a regular part of my daily repertoire. As the familiar melody enveloped the room, I found myself being carried away by its enchanting embrace. My voice, barely audible, joined in, whispering the lyrics in perfect harmony. The sound was gentle, even to my own ears. With each note, my racing heart gradually settled into a soothing rhythm. After a prolonged period of turmoil, an unexpected calm washed over me, accompanied by a peculiar sense of hopefulness. The piano had always been my sanctuary, a

REBECCA As my drowsy mind navigated through the memories of the previous night, an irrepressible smile tugged at the corners of my lips. Artemy had allowed me to tinker with the piano keys, and the mere thought of it sent my heart racing. Artemy, with his cold demeanor and occasional rudeness, possessed a hidden sweetness. Shifting my gaze, I noticed his black suit jacket lying beside me on the plush pillow. Drawing it close, I nestled my head against its familiar fabric. This simple act had granted me a night free from the haunting clutches of past memories. Could this be the key to banishing my nightmares? My heart fluttered with anticipation as I fixated on the jacket, my thoughts racing. In a final moment of contemplation, I rose from the bed and carefully folded the jacket, placing it beneat

ARTEMY When Rebecca arrived with the first aid kit, I couldn't bear the thought of her seeing me in such a broken and painful state, so I chose to ignore her. The last thing I wanted was for her to witness my vulnerability. As waves of unfamiliar emotions coursed through me, I felt consumed by self-loathing. I had always believed that displaying feelings was a sign of weakness, and yet, in Rebecca's presence, my defenses crumbled effortlessly. Whenever she played the piano, it was as if my mother were sitting there before me, alive and vibrant. The pain throbbing in my body served as a painful reminder of how I ended up in this wretched condition. Herman. Whatever form of demise he had faced, it felt insufficient. He didn't deserve to di

REBECCA With tear-stained cheeks, I descended the stairs in a daze, trying to make sense of Artemy's actions. He was an enigma—unpredictable, hot-tempered, and skilled at concealing his emotions. All I yearned for was to break through his defenses, for him to lower his guard and allow me into his world. I longed to understand what was going on in his mind. It may sound peculiar, but I genuinely wanted to help him. Despite his constant rejections, ranging from mild to outright callousness, I couldn't shake off my desire to be there for him. Whenever I was near him, an irresistibl
