Painful Memories

VIVIAN I stood there, frozen, as the truth crashed down on me like a wave, knocking the breath out of my lungs. My mind raced, trying to process everything Jack…no, Felix…had just revealed. All this time, I had thought I was with the boy I had loved so dearly as a child. The Jack who had given me the bracelet, who had made me laugh, who had shared all those small moments with me. But it wasn’t him. It had never been him.Pain surged through my chest, each beat of my heart hammering the realization deeper into my soul. My dearest Jack was gone, and instead, I had unknowingly been with his twin brother, Felix. No wonder he couldn’t recognize me. No wonder something always felt...off.I stumbled back, my legs weak beneath me, as the shock settled deeper into my bones. My gaze locked on Felix, who sat there, his eyes full of anguish."All this time…" I whispered, "I thought it was you. I thought I found you again, Jack."Jack flinched at the name, pain flashing across his face. “

Murdered

FIVE YEARS AGOVIVIAN I walked alongside Clara, my feet dragging a little as we made our way to the cafeteria. It was just another day at the orphanage.The smell of food, the clatter of trays, and the distant chatter from the other kids should have been comforting, but it wasn’t.“Vivian, snap out of it.” Clara nudged me playfully, her energy always the opposite of mine in moments like these. “What’s got you looking all broody?”I sighed, shoving my hands in my pockets. “Just…thinking.”“Oh no, that’s dangerous. What are you thinking about this time? Something to do with him?” Clara shot me a knowing look, raising an eyebrow.I rolled my eyes, though a small smile tugged at my lips. Clara always knew how to pull me out of my head. “Not this time. Just…life, I guess.”Clara grabbed a tray, sliding it onto the metal rails as we approached the food line. “Life, huh? That sounds serious.”“Well, I’ve been here for years now. Watching people come and go, getting adopted. And I’m still…he

Eliminate them

VIVIAN Mr Daniels’ expression grew more intense as he leaned closer, his eyes locking with mine.He cleared his throat before continuing, his voice low. "Your parents were working on a case, Vivian. A case that involved the Andersons. They were close to exposing some... very dangerous truths about them."I blinked, my mind racing. "A case? What kind of case?"He sighed deeply, glancing down at his clasped hands before looking back up at me. "They had evidence..solid, undeniable evidence…of illegal activities tied to the Andersons’ business. Money laundering, fraud, worse. Your parents were set to bring that evidence to court. They were going to take them down."I shook my head slowly, my heart pounding in my chest. "But why kill them? Couldn't they have... I don't know, settled it some other way?"Mr Daniels’ face darkened. "When people like the Andersons are threatened, they don’t play fair, Vivian. They have resources, connections. “They’re dangerous. Your parents weren’t just a

The Pieces

PRESENT DAYJACKI sat there, staring at her as the words left her lips. My heart hammered in my chest, each beat reverberating in my ears. The room seemed to close in on me as she spoke, her voice steady, too calm for what she was revealing."He helped me get closer to your family," she said, her eyes hardening with every word. "Mr. Daniels. He wasn’t just some lawyer. He planned it all. He worked his way into the Anderson family, gaining your parents' trust."My throat felt tight as I tried to comprehend her words. “He was our family’s lawyer for years…”Vivian gave a bitter laugh, shaking her head. “Exactly. That’s how he did it. He wormed his way in. And when Mrs. Anderson was looking for someone to take Lily’s place, guess who convinced her that I was the perfect choice?”The room spun. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. The man I’d known for a long time now, the man who’d been at every family event, sitting at our table during holidays… he’d been playing us all along.V

Your Parents

JACKVivian swallowed hard, her gaze shifting to the floor before meeting mine again."I wanted to. I planned to do it all... from the moment I stepped into your family’s world," she whispered."But then..." She paused, her hands trembling slightly."Then what?" I demanded, still trying to hold back the fury building inside me.Her breath hitched. "Then I started falling for you, Jack."The words hung between us like a storm cloud. I blinked, unable to process what she'd just said.Vivian continued, her voice now unsteady. "I didn’t expect it. It wasn’t supposed to happen. But as I got to know you, the real you... everything changed. I started to drift away from my mission."I clenched my jaw, my anger boiling over. "You expect me to believe that?" I spat. "That you just conveniently fell in love with me while you were planning to destroy my family?"Vivian took a deep breath, her eyes pleading with me to understand. "I know it sounds crazy, but it's the truth. That’s why I couldn’t

CCTV

VIVIAN I sat on the side of the bed my fingers tracing invisible patterns on the laps as the muffled voices of the police officers outside echoed through the room. They were inspecting the car. I could hear the faint murmur of their radios and the sound of footsteps shuffling on gravel as they found the gas canister I'd placed inside the trunk.But I was careful. I wore gloves. There wouldn’t be any prints.The thought of what I had just confessed to Jack swung in my mind.I had finally told him everything. No more lies, no more half-truths. The look in his eyes…shocked, angry, betrayed…still played in my memory. But I didn’t regret it. He had to know the truth, even if it destroyed what we had.But this wasn’t the end. Not yet.I leaned back, exhaling slowly as the cold truth settled deeper within me. His parents… they still had secrets, twisted ones and I would uncover them all. My mission wasn’t over. I couldn’t let it be. But now, with this new life growing inside me, every

The Tension

VIVIAN My heart stopped.How was the footage missing? My mind scrambled for answers as I stared at the blank screen. This couldn’t be real.The officer frowned, clicking through the system again, but it was the same result…nothing. I was so shocked, my throat suddenly became dry as I fought to keep my face neutral.“Looks like a technical issue,” the officer muttered, almost to himself.I shifted uncomfortably, glancing at Jack. His expression didn’t waver , but I noticed the faintest flicker of tension in his jaw."The footage... it must’ve been corrupted," the officer said, standing up and running a hand through his hair.Jack’s voice was steady when he finally spoke. “We’ve had a few issues with the system since the last time there was a break-in. Maybe the intruder tampered with it, and it’s been glitching ever since.”His words flowed out smoothly, without hesitation.The officers exchanged glances, nodding as though it made perfect sense. “That could explain it,” one of them

Set Up

SEBASTIAN I sat down at the kitchen counter, absently chopping vegetables, my mind wandering far from the task I was busy with. The rhythmic sound of the knife against the cutting board usually soothed me, but today it was just background noise to the thoughts swirling in my head.Vivian.She hadn’t reached out. Not once.I glanced at the clock, knowing she was supposed to be deep into her mission by now…..trying to get that injection sample from Jack. I’d been waiting for her call, for any update, but nothing came. The longer I waited, the more this gnawing feeling of unease settled into my chest.Was she alright? Did something go wrong? I reached for my phone, my thumb hovering over the screen. I could dial her number right now, hear her voice, demand to know what was happening.But then, I dropped the phone back onto the counter with a sigh.What was I doing? I couldn’t keep chasing her, not when she had made her choice so clear. She had rejected me, after all. My feelings

See you tomorrow

SEBASTIAN "Come sit," I told Clara, gesturing toward the table. "I just finished cooking."She raised an eyebrow, a bit surprised but followed me anyway. I pulled out a chair for her, trying to shake off the strange feeling that was still lingering from Vivian’s sudden text.As Clara sat, I began to serve the food. Despite being half-burned, it was salvageable. I served her a portion, offering a faint smile.“I hope you’re hungry.”Clara looked at the food, her eyebrows furrowing in curiosity. "You cook?""Yeah," I shrugged, handing her a fork. "Gotta eat somehow, right?"She laughed, but it was a soft, nervous laugh. I could tell she wasn’t fully comfortable, likely as confused about all of this as I was.Clara hesitated for a moment, but then she took a bite. Her eyes widened slightly as she chewed, the tension from earlier lifting just a bit.“This is... actually really good,” she said, sounding almost surprised.I chuckled, leaning back in my chair. “Thanks. Thought I might’v

Puzzle

JACK I woke up to the soft light filtering through the curtains, my head resting on the pillow, and there she was….Vivian. Her brown hair splayed out across the pillow, I watched her, my heart pounding in my chest, memories of last night flooding back. The way her body responded to mine, the way her lips had tasted of all the things we’d been trying to keep hidden between us.Last night had been epic, not just because of the intensity of what had happened, but because I’d let my guard down completely. I was still angry at her, but damn it, I couldn’t hold onto it for long. Not when she was here, lying beside me, making me feel things I didn’t want to feel at this moment but couldn’t resist.I ran a hand through my hair, sighing quietly. As much as I wanted to, I couldn’t place all the blame on her. Vivian wasn’t the enemy. Hell, in many ways, she was as much of a victim as I was….caught up in the twisted web my parents had spun for years. We’d both been manipulated, forced to p
