HER ADDICTION

What do you think you are doing?' She abruptly stood to her feet, pushing the man away from her. 'And who are you? What are you doing in my house and kitchen?' The unknown man rose to his feet, wearing a puzzled look. "Your house? Your kitchen?" "Yes," Nino tried to sound confident even though mere looking at him sent cold blood down her spine. "A burglar won't be treating himself to dinner so who the heck are you?" "I should be asking you this," his cold impassive voice came again. "Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" After being cheated on by her boyfriend. Nino learnt her house has been sold to a complete stranger, the news of her parent's house being sold by the man her parents borrowed a loan from and couldn't pay back before their death. The news hit Nino Peterson to the core. She swore to take back her parent's house but when she realized the amount the man bought her house, she knew she couldn't pay him on time or send him packing either. So the two reached a compromise that she will still live in her parent's house until she was able to pay back the amount the man paid on her house. But will she be able to live under the same roof with a man knowing he's a complete stranger and the atmosphere will not be the same anymore? And when she also learns the truth about the man living under the same roof with her, would she be able to deal with it?

FEVER

𝑁𝑖𝑛𝑜

I walked right into my room, and fall flat on my bed after seeing Kevin out. I rubbed my tired eyes and took a couple of breaths. I picked up my phone and tried to call Marcus again with the hope he would pick up, just like I have expected. He never did. I scrolled through my messages, looking at the messages I sent him. He already viewed them but didn't reply. He's still angry, and thinking back- this is how he must've felt when I ignored him for a week. The only word to express my feeling is "𝐸𝑚𝑝𝑡𝑦"

My mind, being blitzed by thousands of thoughts, I didn't know when I drifted off to sleep gaping into space. I gasped, sitting up as I had that same nightmare. That same nightmare of me walking in on my parent's corpses and that shadow trying to kill me. Why do I keep having that dream? Why is that male shadow on the hunt for me? Who is he?

I glance at the time on my phone screen and it said 10 pm. Didn't know I slept that long.
