XL : Blood on the Floor, Heat on My Skin

The ticking of a clock echoed in the dark room. It was slow initially, then faster and louder as if counting down to something dreadful. I stood in the middle of a long, unfamiliar hallway—its walls dull gray, its floor made of old wooden planks that creaked beneath my steps. The dim light from a flickering chandelier illuminated the path ahead, casting long shadows that seemed to move at the edge of my vision. I didn’t know why I was here. I didn’t know where I was supposed to go. But my feet kept moving forward, even though something inside me screamed to turn back and run. Then I saw it. A drop of blood. Dripping from the ceiling. Landing on the back of my hand. I swallowed hard and slowly lifted my face. Someone was there. Hanging from the ceiling. I held my breath. Dylan. His eyes were empty, his lips parted like trying to say something, but no sound came out. Blood dripped from the gaping wound on his neck, falling slowly, forming a crimson pool on the wooden floor

XLI : The Pedal's Down, My Eyes are Closed,

I don’t know who moved first. All I know is that one second, we were staring at each other in silence, and the next, his lips were pressing against mine again.This time, there was no gentleness. No pause. No space to think.Aaric kissed me in a way that was completely demanding and dominating, taking everything he could from me. His lips moved over mine with a rhythm that made me lose my balance.His hand gripped my neck tighter than before, leaving me no choice but to respond. I let out a quiet moan between our kisses, and it only made him wilder.My hands, which had only been gripping his sweater, slid up his shoulders, pulling him closer. I could feel the tension in his muscles beneath my fingers, the heat of his body seeping through the fabric between us.Aaric deepened the kiss. His lips parted slightly, his tongue sweeping over my lower lip before slipping inside, demanding access that I gave him without hesitation.Heat. Everything felt like heat.His tongue met mine, playing

XLII : I bent the truth too far tonight

The morning was still too quiet when I opened my eyes. The air in the room felt warm, mingled with the scent of wood, sea salt, and something deeper—more familiar. Aaric. I didn't need to turn around to know he was still there. His strong arm wrapped tightly around my waist, his warm body pressed against my back, and his steady breath brushed against my nape in an almost hypnotic rhythm. I bit my lip, suppressing the anxiety that began to well up in my chest. This shouldn't have happened. I took a deep breath, letting my eyes drift to the large glass window that faced the sea. The sun was still halfway up the horizon, casting a golden shimmer that danced slowly on the calm waves. The beach in the morning always gave me a sense of peace. Or at least, it usually did. But not this morning. This morning, I woke up naked, trapped in the embrace of a man who shouldn't be here. A man I once loved. A man who was now not just dangerous—but also... Mellan's fiancé. My chest grew

XLIII : You Played Me Too Well

I scrubbed my face harder than I should have, as if I could wipe away something more than just the remnants of makeup on my skin. But no matter how many cotton pads I used, no matter how cold the micellar water felt against my skin, the guilt still clung to my chest—thick, sticky, disgusting.I tossed the last cotton pad into the trash with unnecessary force and let out a long sigh.Behind me, Amira—my makeup artist—observed with narrowed eyes before crossing her arms. “You just looked at yourself in the mirror like you wanted to punch your own reflection.”I turned to her, forcing a small smile. “Just tired.”Amira clicked her tongue. “You always say that.”I didn’t respond. I knew that if I said anything more, my voice would sound too fragile for someone who had just finished a major photoshoot and received praise from the entire crew.I pressed my temples, trying to push away the lingering headache creeping beneath my skull.“I’m done here, right?” I finally asked, my voice soundin

XLIV : I polish up real nice

The restaurant is located on the beach, with dimly lit lamps reflecting softly off the sea's surface. The night air carried the salty scent of the ocean, mingling with the fragrant spices of the dishes served on the white linen-covered tables.I sat back in my chair, still trying to digest how we had gotten to this place. I knew Aaric never half-assed anything, but this restaurant—with its strict guest list, waiters who moved almost silently, and exclusive, suffocating atmosphere—was completely beyond my expectations.And even more astonishingly, when we walked in, no one stopped us. No one asked for a reservation. No one dared to speak before Aaric stepped through the door.Instead, the restaurant manager himself greeted us, opening the way with a slight bow of the head as if Aaric were someone more influential than the place's owner.I don't know if that made me more impressed... or more horrified.As we arrived at the table, I prepared to pull out my own chair, but Aaric had alread

XLV : Caught in the Click, Running from the Flash

That evening, after filming wrapped up, Daniel kept his promise to 'kidnap' me for a while away from work."I know a great spot to escape the crazy people at the set," he said, raising an eyebrow as if daring me to refuse.I almost said no, but after spending the whole day under bright lights and repeatedly acting out emotional scenes, my head felt heavy, and my body was exhausted. Maybe a short walk wouldn't be such a bad idea.So here we were, strolling along a small street lined with boutique shops and cafés in downtown Los Angeles. The sun was starting to dip below the horizon, leaving a beautiful orange glow in the sky, while the evening air brought a refreshing coolness after a long day of sweating under the set lights.Daniel walked beside me with his hands in his jacket pockets, his steps relaxed. "I thought you'd be too tired for this," he teased.I sipped the bubble tea we had just bought from a street corner stand. "I am tired, but I can't just stay cooped up at home all th

XLVI: Golden Streets and Hidden Choices

Los Angeles in the afternoon always feels different. The golden sunlight strikes the glass windows of the skyscrapers, creating dazzling reflections on the busy streets. The air is still warm from the midday heat, but the breeze blowing in from the beach brings a pleasant coolness.I had just finished shooting and was now sitting at my dressing table in my old penthouse, wearing a silk kimono while checking my phone. Aaric hadn’t returned from New York yet, which meant I still had my freedom.Marcus Blackwood's name was listed in the last call.I leaned my head back, recalling our brief conversation earlier.“I’m attending a dinner party tonight, and I’d be delighted if you’d join me.”Marcus sounded as usual—calm, polite, and without pressure. Unlike Aaric’s invitations, which always felt like veiled commands, Marcus was merely inviting me, giving me the option to refuse if I wanted.But I didn’t refuse.Maybe it was part of me that wanted to prove I could still make my own choices.

XLVII : He Knew Before I Did

A middle-aged man in a navy-blue suit walked over with an enthusiastic expression. His face was slightly flushed—maybe from the wine warming his body or perhaps from excitement he could barely contain.“My God, I can hardly believe you’re really here!” he said, his voice brimming with excitement as his eyes lit up when they met mine. “I have to thank Marcus for bringing you to this event.”I smiled warmly and extended my hand. “Nice to meet you, Mr...?”“Richard Calloway,” he said quickly, shaking my hand a bit too firmly, like a fan unwilling to miss his chance. “But please, call me Richard. I’m one of the hosts tonight. And Maya, I have to admit... I’m a huge fan.”I chuckled softly, easing my hand out of his grasp with practiced elegance. “Oh? That’s interesting.”Richard laughed, sounding almost nervous. “No, seriously! I’ve followed your career since your first indie film. Scarlet Ruins, right?”I raised an eyebrow, a little impressed. “Wow, not many people know about that one. I

XLVIII : You Held My Wrist, I Held My Breath

Aaric didn’t give me a chance to refuse. His hand gripped my wrist, not too tight, but firm enough to make sure I couldn’t pull away. Before I could utter a single word, he was already leading me toward his car, a black vehicle that now felt like a trap.The car door opened, and in one swift motion, he pushed me inside with the confidence of a man who knew I wouldn’t be going anywhere. I could have protested, I could have resisted, but I didn’t. My fingers clenched the hem of my dress as Aaric shut the door beside me, then moved to the other side and slid into the driver’s seat.As soon as the engine roared to life and the car started moving, I bit my lip, trying to suppress the unease creeping up my chest. All I wanted was to go back to my old penthouse, not to the grand house I now shared with him, a house that was never supposed to be mine.But Aaric had other plans.The silence inside the car felt like a short fuse ready to ignite at any moment. I could sense Aaric’s gaze from the
