XX : The Comeback Game

The night is getting late.The city lights of Los Angeles still glowed outside my apartment window, but my eyes were already getting heavy. I sat on the sofa, my body almost sinking into it, while my fingers lazily flipped through the pages of the script I'd been studying.My character in this movie wasn't easy to play. Her emotions were complex, and the betrayal she experienced was deep, and I had to make sure that I could convey it appropriately.However, the longer I tried to focus, the more the letters on the paper seemed to blur in my eyes.Across the room, Aaric sat casually in a chair, one hand playing with his phone while the other clutched a half-empty wine glass. He had finished the cheese omelet I had cooked for him and was now busy talking in a low voice on the phone.I didn't know who he was talking to, but from his calm but firm tone of voice, I could guess that it was something serious. Business.I let him do what he wants.I was too sleepy to care.I closed my manuscri

XXI : Lines Blurred, Again

The air inside the car felt cooler than the Los Angeles heat outside. I leaned my head against the window, letting the air conditioner wash over my slightly sweaty skin after a busy day of shifting schedules."I don't understand how you survive with such a busy schedule," Megan commented when she opened the lunch box and handed it to me.I accepted the box lazily, opened the lid, and sighed softly as the warm aroma of chicken katsu and sauce greeted my nose."I don't get it either," I muttered, taking a piece of chicken and popping it into my mouth.Megan chuckled. "At least eat before you pass out. I don't want to deal with Ashley if you collapse halfway through."I just mumbled in response, too tired to reply with anything longer.I let my mind drift momentarily while enjoying my lunch in the quietly moving car. I should feel satisfied with how things are going. A tight schedule means my career is back on track, but something inside my chest still feels... tight.The world kept spi

XXII : No Way Out

As soon as I sat in the passenger seat, I leaned my head against the window, ignoring how expensive the interior of this car was and how comfortable the seats were. I was too tired to think about anything, let alone engage Aaric in the usual verbal sparring.The car drove smoothly out of the studio area, the street lights of Los Angeles creating long shadows along the dashboard. For the first few minutes, Aaric didn't say anything. He just focused on the road with one hand on the steering wheel and the other resting casually on his armrest.I closed my eyes, hoping he would leave me alone for the rest of the road."Who is he?"But, of course, that was impossible.Aaric's voice is calm, but I could feel the hidden interest behind it.I opened my eyes slowly, glancing up at him. "Who?"He didn't answer immediately, but I could see how his jaw tightened slightly before he finally spoke again."The guy you were with."I blinked. I leaned back into the chair, looking at him calmly. "Daniel

Defying the Devil

My heart beating fast, my breathing getting heavy.No, I won't.I will not stay here.I looked at Aaric, who was still standing calmly as if he knew I would take all this for granted. He was dead wrong.Without thinking, I turned around and started running towards the highway. My feet quickly hit the small cobblestone street, the coastal wind hitting my face, and my hair flew wildly. The highway was a bit far from here, but if I could be fast enough, I could call Megan or Ashley to pick me up.I heard footsteps behind me.Of course.I bit my lip, dashing even though my heels were stinging the skin on my feet. I knew Aaric. He wouldn't let anything get out of his control, and I had just done the thing he disliked the most. Defying him.His footsteps were getting closer.I had almost reached the end of this private road when something strong gripped my waist. I let out a small cry, my body lifted off the ground in an instant. "Let go of me!"He didn't answer.Within seconds, I was slung

XXIV : Don’t Tell Me What to Do

I stepped out of the room, not intending to dress up.I don't care.It's just dinner. In my house. Or, rather, the house that Aaric forced to be my house.So, I would dress as comfortably as possible, without caring if he liked it or not.I wore loose black boxers and an oversized T-shirt that fell past my thighs. My long, thick, brown hair was tangled up on top of my head, a few strands falling around my face, but I didn't bother to tidy it up.In addition, I wore round glasses that I rarely wore except when I was too lazy to put in contact lenses. My vision was a little myopic, and tonight, I chose not to try any more than necessary.With lazy steps, I descended to the first floor.This house is too big, and I haven't even explored everything yet. But at least I know where the kitchen and dining room are.When I arrived at the dining room, I found Aaric sitting there.He wore an expensive-looking black sweater and dark jeans that sat perfectly on his body. His usually neatly styled h

XXV : Bitter Coffee

The morning sunlight pierced through the cracks in the curtains, warming my skin and waking me up gently.I blinked, taking a long breath before finally reaching for my phone on the nightstand. The clock on the screen showed 8 am.And Aaric wasn't here.I didn't know if that was good or bad, but I didn't want to think about it now.I sat on the edge of the bed, letting my body adjust from the residual sleepiness that still hung around. Last night, after our argument at the dinner table, I chose to go to my room and go straight to bed.I was too tired to continue arguing about how he was trying to control me again. And, as it turned out, I could sleep well.Maybe it was because I was tired, or maybe it was because the air in this house differed from the air in my apartment, which was full of city noise.I got up slowly, walking towards the balcony directly connected to the bedroom. I opened the sliding glass door, and the breeze immediately greeted my face.I stare at the scenery in fr
