The Distance Between Us

The halls of the mansion were eerily quiet, save for the soft echo of Calla’s footsteps as she made her way quickly toward her father’s room. The weight of the news—the accident, the injury—had hit her just moments ago, and with it came an overwhelming rush of worry. She couldn’t push away the nagging thought that she had been too consumed by everything else—her own life, her own mistakes—to check in on him. Now, here he was, lying hurt, and possibly in worse shape than he had let on. The guilt gnawed at her as she walked faster, the knot in her chest growing tighter with each step. She could feel the years of regret pressing on her shoulders, but now was not the time to dwell on that. Her father needed her.As she neared the door to his room, Calla froze in place. There, leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed, was Xavier. His posture was relaxed, but the unreadable expression on his face made her stomach twist. Her heart sank, but a surge of anger quickly followed. Her b

Locked In

Xavier stepped into the mansion after a long, draining day at the office, his mind still wrapped around the details of a high-pressure project he had been working on. His thoughts were a tangle of meetings, deadlines, and strategies, but there was a familiar, soothing quiet in the house that seemed to calm his racing thoughts.He could always count on the house to provide some level of peace after a hectic day. Still, he had a task to complete—he needed to find a file he had left on his side table last night. It was crucial for an upcoming meeting, and the idea of wasting time looking for it only made his nerves more frayed.He walked down the hall, heading toward his room with a purposeful stride, but as he got closer, the sounds of arguing reached his ears. Zane and Alana. Again. It wasn’t unusual for the twins to get into squabbles, but the noise was louder than usual. Xavier exhaled sharply and turned toward the kitchen. It seemed like Bella was trying to keep the peace, but Zane

Confinement of Truth

Xavier and Bella sat in the dimly lit, confined space of the walk-in closet, the silence between them thick and weighted with unspoken words. The air was stifling, and the walls seemed to close in on them with each passing moment. It felt like they had been waiting forever, trapped together in this ridiculously small room with no clear way out. The initial rush of emotions—the awe, the thrill, the electric charge lingering from their earlier kiss—had long since faded, leaving behind an awkward tension that neither of them knew how to break.Now, they were simply waiting. Waiting for someone to find them, to set them free from this ridiculous predicament.Xavier leaned back against the cold wall, his arms folded tightly across his broad chest. He exhaled sharply through his nose, his frustration bubbling dangerously close to the surface. He could already feel his patience fraying at the edges, a tight coil of irritation twisting in his gut. He knew exactly who was responsible for this

The Hollow Walls of Deception

The house was eerily silent, save for the soft rustling of the night air creeping through the half-open window. The familiar scent of the cool evening breeze drifted into the room, carrying with it the distant hum of the city—muted sirens, the occasional rev of an engine, the quiet rustle of leaves against the siding of the house.Calla lay in bed, her body curled beneath the heavy comforter, her mind drifting in that hazy in-between space where sleep hovered just out of reach. The darkness stretched around her, wrapping her in its quiet embrace, yet something unsettled her. It was a feeling she couldn’t quite place, a sense of unease slithering through her subconscious like a warning.She had always been a light sleeper, trained by years of instinct to wake at the slightest shift in her surroundings. The creak of old floorboards, the wind shifting through the trees—these were sounds she had grown accustomed to, the familiar lull of her home settling in for the night. But tonight, the

Unspoken Confessions

The living room was quiet, save for the soft ticking of the grandfather clock in the corner and the occasional rustle of the wind outside, stirring the curtains. Bella sat on the couch, her posture stiff, her gaze distant. Zane and Alana stood in front of her, fidgeting nervously. Their little faces were full of guilt, their wide eyes searching for a way to make things right.“We’re really sorry, Bella,” Zane said, his voice small and uncertain. He shifted from foot to foot, clearly uncomfortable with the atmosphere.“We didn’t mean to lock you in there for so long,” Alana added, her voice almost a whisper, as though the weight of her words made them heavier.Bella looked at them, her expression hardening, but not in anger. It was more a mixture of disappointment and concern. They were just children, after all, but their actions had consequences.“Your prank was not just a prank, kids,” Bella said, her tone steady but firm. “You can’t joke about things that can hurt or affect others

Torn Between Silence And Desire

The clock in Bella’s room ticked louder than usual in the quiet of the night. Its rhythmic sound seemed to echo in the silence, each second stretching longer than the last. She sat by the window, gazing out into the darkened night. The city lights below sparkled like tiny stars, but all Bella could see was the storm brewing inside her. She wasn’t looking at the world outside; she was lost in her thoughts, her heart heavy with emotions she could no longer ignore.Xavier.The man she was married to by a contract marriage. She knew exactly why they were bound by this contract. It wasn’t out of love, but out of necessity. Xavier needed a caretaker for his twins and she needed Xavier's support to get a residency visa to stay in the country. The urge to get a visa and the bond she had developed with Zane and Alana were the reason she had agreed to this arrangement in the first place. The reason she had stepped into this mansion and into this strange life.The life she thought she would lead

A Hollow Gesture

Xavier sat in his car, his fingers tapping restlessly on the steering wheel. He hadn’t heard from Ember all day, and the silence between them was unsettling. Ever since the argument they’d had over Bea, she hadn’t called or texted, and Xavier knew something was wrong. He had hoped the tension would dissipate, but it lingered like a shadow, stretching between them. He couldn’t stand it any longer. The weight of the unspoken words between them was suffocating, and he needed to do something—anything—to make it right.He had an idea.Pulling his phone from his pocket, he dialed Ember’s number. After a few rings, she answered, her voice cool and distant.“Xavier,” she said, a single word that conveyed everything—distance, disappointment, and a trace of anger.“Hey, Ember,” he said, trying to sound casual but knowing he couldn’t hide the concern in his voice. “I was thinking we could go out today. I’ll pick you up, and we could do something fun. What do you say?”There was a long pause on

Questions Of The Heart

The car hummed as Xavier drove through the busy city streets, his mind not entirely focused on the road ahead. He was on his way to the hospital with Logan, who had insisted on joining him to review Thomas’s latest blood reports. The silence between them was palpable, with Logan’s earlier words still echoing in Xavier’s mind.“Logan,” Xavier said, his voice tight with frustration. “Why did you have to say all that stuff in the mall today? What was that about?”Logan glanced at him, the familiar twinkle in his eyes barely concealed beneath the surface of his calm expression. “I was telling you the truth, Xavier,” Logan replied nonchalantly. “I didn’t say anything that wasn’t true.”Xavier clenched his jaw, hands tightening on the steering wheel. “About Bella? That’s just ridiculous. You’ve never even met her properly, and now you’re giving me advice about her?”Logan let out a soft sigh, clearly unimpressed. “I’ve seen enough. Look, I’m not blind, Xavier. I’ve seen Bella in your ho

The Unspoken Truth

The sterile smell of the hospital hit Xavier’s nose as he and Logan walked down the corridor toward the liver specialist's office. The sounds of nurses and patients filled the air, but in that moment, Xavier couldn’t focus on anything but the weight on his shoulders. His mind kept replaying the conversation they had had earlier, but now, he was about to face the truth about his father, Thomas. He wasn’t prepared for whatever he was about to hear.As they entered the doctor's office, Xavier’s eyes immediately fixed on the doctor sitting behind the desk. Dr. Harris, a man in his late 40s with glasses perched on the bridge of his nose and a clipboard in hand, motioned for them to sit. His calm demeanor offered little comfort to Xavier, whose anxiety was beginning to bubble up."Mr. Donovan," Dr. Harris greeted them, his voice calm and professional. "I’ve reviewed the tests and scans. Let me get straight to the point. Your father is suffering from hepatocellular carcinoma, which is a for

Reflections in the Quiet

Xavier walked slowly down the hallway, his footsteps muffled by the soft carpet beneath his feet. He paused for a moment outside Thomas's bedroom, his hand resting on the doorknob. The house was eerily quiet, save for the soft hum of the air conditioning. It was late—far too late for him to be awake, but sleep evaded him. His thoughts were consumed by the grim reality he had just been handed.With a heavy sigh, Xavier pushed the door open and stepped inside. The room smelled faintly of antiseptic, mixed with a trace of something deeper—something he couldn’t quite place, but it made his chest tighten. Thomas lay in the bed, his once-vibrant frame now frail and wasted, his chest rising and falling with the shallow breaths of a man who had long overstayed his welcome in the world. His face was gaunt, his skin pale, and the sight of him struck Xavier with a strange, hollow pain.He stood there for a long time, just watching. It was as if time had stopped, leaving Xavier suspended between
