Fear

Skylar sat at her kitchen table, staring blankly at her phone. It had been two weeks since Jason vanished. The police had scoured his properties, interviewed his parents, and even tracked his known associates. Yet, there was no trace of him. This brought her a mix of relief and dread. The idea of him not lurking around any corner was comforting, but not knowing where he was made her anxious.The shrill ring of her phone interrupted her thoughts. She picked it up, her heart pounding when she saw the name on the screen. It was Pietro.“Hey,” she answered, trying to keep her voice steady.“Hey, love. Any news?” Pietro’s voice was a soothing balm, yet laced with the same worry she felt.“Nothing,” she sighed. “The police are still looking, but it’s like he vanished into thin air.”“Just stay alert, okay? I’ll be there soon. We’ll get through this together.”“I know, Pietro. It’s just… I keep thinking about the kids. Emilio had to leave urgently for some meeting with a client in Lond

A Day in London

Emilio glanced at his watch, noting he had the rest of the day free before his next meeting the following morning. The past few days in London had been a whirlwind of corporate gatherings, but today, he was determined to steal away some time for Evelyn. She had come along on this trip, not just for business companionship but also to share some special moments amidst his busy schedule. They needed a break, and he wanted to take her sightseeing in this beautiful city.“Evelyn, how about we go out and explore a bit? We have the rest of today to ourselves before my next meeting tomorrow,” Emilio suggested, smiling as he walked over to where she was reading by the window of their hotel room.Her eyes lit up. “I’d love that! Where do you want to go?”“I was thinking we could start with the London Eye. What do you think?” he proposed, already envisioning the panoramic views they would enjoy.“Perfect! Let me just grab my coat,” Evelyn said, hopping up with excitement.A short while lat

Guilt

James and Catherine Reynolds sat in their dimly lit bedroom, the weight of the past few weeks pressing heavily on their shoulders. The atmosphere was thick with worry and guilt, a stark contrast to the usual warmth of their home.James sighed deeply, running a hand through his greying hair. “I can’t believe it’s come to this, Catherine. Our son... how did we not see this coming?”Catherine, her eyes red and swollen from days of crying, shook her head slowly. “I don’t know, James. I just don’t know. We’ve done everything we could think of—consulted medical professionals, talked to the authorities. And now they say Jason might need to be committed to a psychiatric hospital.”James looked away, his eyes hardening with a mixture of anger and sorrow. “That’s if they even find him. He’s completely disappeared. I’ve had to temporarily take over all his businesses and companies. The board is in chaos, and the media... they’re having a field day.”Catherine’s voice trembled as she spoke. “

More Secrets

Skylar sat on the wooden swing in the backyard, fingers nervously tapping the wood, as she tried to muster the courage to make the call she had been brooding over. Jason was still missing and the fear and anxiety had not simmered even for a bit. She had also been in regular contact with Emily and they had managed to form some bond over the weeks. This brought her to her current line of thoughts. While Skylar was surrounded with family to support her, Emily was all alone. Her family had cut off contact with her for having a child out of wedlock. Today, she was alone in the house, since Pietro had work to do and Emilio and Valentina were spending the night at Evelyn’s place. Evelyn had extended an invitation to Skylar and her boys, but Skylar declined.She watched Jared and Lorenzo who were playing in the sand box, oblivious to the storm brewing in their mother’s heart. She glanced at the time on her phone, took a deep breath, and dialled the number.“Hello, Mom. It’s Skylar,” she s

Familial Warmth

James and Catherine Reynolds pulled into their driveway, the sun setting behind them and casting long shadows over their quiet suburban street. Their minds raced with the sudden weight if the information that was revealed to them. For now though, they putt their questions aside, their focus on getting Emily and Liam settled safely. The atmosphere was thick with unspoken worries and tension.In silence, James and Catherine offloaded the luggage bags belonging to Emily, the weight of their contents mirroring the emotional burden everyone carried. Emily clutched Liam’s hand tightly as they walked up to the house, the little boy’s eyes wide and fearful. Inside, Catherine moved quickly to the kitchen, her mind set on preparing tea and snacks for everyone, a small attempt at normalcy.“Emily, let me show you around,” James offered, his voice kind but strained.Emily nodded, appreciating the gesture. “Thank you, James.”They moved through the house, James pointing out the rooms. “This is

The Letter

The day was lovely for the first time in a while. Evelyn had dropped by before heading to work and the kids were all excited to see her, Valentina in particular. Skylar was starting to think that she could relax and enjoy the day without having to worry to much about Jason suddenly making an appearance. That was until the mailman brought the mail some hours to noon. Amidst the envelopes, there was an unmarked envelope addressed to Skylar. With shaky legs, she made her way to the living room. Her fingers trembled as she opened the unmarked envelope. The contents spilled out into her hands: photos of Emily and Liam arriving at her house the previous day. The edges of the photos seemed to burn her skin, and her heart sank as she realized just what she was looking at, and who it was from.Her breath caught in her throat as she unfolded the letter that accompanied the photos. The handwriting was very familiar, and each word seemed to dig deeper into her psyche, unravelling her careful

New Beginnings

Emily woke up to an empty bed, her heart pounding with sudden panic. Liam was not beside her, and the room was eerily silent. She leapt out of bed, her mind racing with a thousand dreadful possibilities. Had Jason found them? Had Liam wandered off? She couldn’t bear the thought of her fragile little boy being in danger.She rushed out of the room, her bare feet hitting the cold floor as she made her way down the hallway. As she descended the stairs, the sound of talking and laughter reached her ears, causing her to halt. The now familiar voices mingled with the sweet sound of a child’s giggle. Cautiously, she made her way toward the kitchen, her heart still hammering in her chest.Peering into the kitchen, she was met with a sight that made her freeze. Catherine was at the stove, making breakfast, while James was entertaining Liam. It took a few seconds for Emily to register that the sound of laughter she had heard was coming from her five-year-old son. Tears immediately sprang to h

A Fragile Peace

Two months had passed in surprising tranquillity. The shadow of Jason’s threats had begun to fade, replaced by the warmth of a life rebuilding itself. Skylar often found herself lulled into a sense of normalcy, the fear that had once gripped her heart loosening its hold. Emily and Liam had settled comfortably into the Reynolds’ household. Emily, with her quiet strength, found solace in the stability that James and Catherine provided. She had expressed a desire to move out, her voice tinged with the hope that Jason had finally disappeared for good. But James and Catherine had gently persuaded her to stay. “We’d love to have you here,” Catherine had said, her eyes soft with concern. “You and Liam are family, and we want to help.”James had nodded in agreement. “It’s important for Liam to be around people who love him. And we’re here to support you while you work so hard to provide for him.”Emily had reluctantly agreed, recognizing the truth in their words. In this timeframe, she

Unmasking Pain

Sophia sat on the edge of her bed, staring at her phone. Her friend Garcia had texted her earlier, practically begging her to come to a fan meeting for one of her favourite actresses.**Gracie💜“Sophia, please! It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance. She’s my all-time favourite actress from Italy, and she’s in New York for her new movie. Can we please go?”Sophia sighed and texted back, agreeing to go. She hadn’t bothered to ask Garcia about the actress. She was mostly doing this as a favour to her friend, and the idea of seeing her friend happy made her feel good.“Dad,” Sophia called, walking down the stairs. “Can I go to a fan meeting with Garcia? It’s for her favourite actress or something.”Pietro looked up from his laptop, smiling. “Of course, Sophia. Just be careful, okay?”“Thanks, Dad!” She grabbed her jacket and headed out the door, meeting Garcia at the bus station. They chatted excitedly on the way to the venue, Sophia’s thoughts far from the actress they were about to

Family Ties

The days following Sophia’s emotional breakthrough were marked by a subtle yet significant shift in the family dynamic. Sophia had begun to address Skylar as “Mom,” a change that did not go unnoticed by Jared and Lorenzo. While seven-year-old Jared could grasp the concept, his younger brother, four-year-old Lorenzo, was bewildered. He couldn’t understand why Sophia was addressing Skylar that way. Was she trying to steal his mom?One sunny afternoon, as Sophia arrived at Skylar’s house for a visit, Lorenzo approached her, his face set in determination. “Sophia, why are you calling my mom ‘Mom’?” he asked, his young voice tinged with confusion and a hint of accusation.Sophia picked him up, cuddling him as she thought to try explaining to him. “Lorenzo, your mom is with my dad now, and they love each other very much. One day, they might get married, and we’ll all be a family. That’s why I’m calling her Mom.”Lorenzo furrowed his brow, pondering her words. Despite Sophia’s gentle expl
