Chapter 28 - Delayed Gratification
Megan's POV
I seemed to have no idea what has happened next. I just ended up finding myself buried in Greg's broad shoulders while gently caressing my back, comforting me. Then he started to pull away from me and lightly tried to wipe the tears rolling down my cheeks, which I have never come to the realization have been there in the first place.
"Is everything all right, Megan?" he worriedly queried.
I sniffed and nodded, then smiled at him.
"What actually happened? Would you like to share it with me? "He inquired once more.
I shook my head sternly and dismissively, conveying my disapproval.
It must have been interesting to speak to a complete stranger every once in a while, but never to the significant degree of unraveling all the grave and confidential events that have taken place to me directly.
Things that had a debilitating impact on my psychological well-being as a woman.

Cloud's POVI continued to keep capturing Athena's lips, and I can nevertheless feel how initially reluctant she was to respond. So I came up with a plan to intensify my kiss, deepening its sensation and almost devouring her entire lips. I started to notice her quivering as a result of the current sensation I was continuing to give her. In contrast to how aggressive I am right now, she was only used to the tender, loving kisses I have been giving her before.I started teasing her, daring her to open her mouth. I bit her bottom lip, which caught her off guard. I took control of the situation by entering my tongue into her mouth and continuing to play with it. After a moment's delay, I can perceive her having to pick up the pace and adapting to my ravenous kisses.Then my hands started to migrate around her, up and down her body. After I was entirely satisfied with her lips, I dropped my lips into her neck, smooching, sipping, and breathing her en
The Dark Silhouette CHAPTER 30 - Whimsical
Detective Amiri's POV That was a very busy time at nightfall. Journalists and news anchors are encircling an infrequently visited area. Cameras flash from various angles on the lifeless body of the young man who was brutally murdered. Police officers were prowling the surrounding areas searching for further clues in the desperate hope of apprehending someone partaking in suspicious behavior. A young man, presumably in his early twenties, lies motionless behind the towering trees and shrubs. He was deeply scarred on the left facetof his chest, in which the most vital part of his organ, the heart, was missing. I slipped on a latex glove and began examining the corpse's body. I was able to retrieve the man's wallet, which contained large sums of cash, multiple credit cards, a couple of condoms, and some personal identification. The man's name is Andrew Wilkins, he is 24 years old, and he appears to work as a landscape architect. I
The Dark Silhouette CHAPTER 31 - The Naked Truth
Athena's POV I went upstairs and entered my bathroom right off the bat. I started to turn on the heater and took a shower in the desperate hope of soothing my disturbing thoughts and nerves. I closed my eyes tightly, inclined to relish the warmth of the water on my skin. The sight of the man with a stolen heart continues to haunt me. I absolutely cannot fathom how anyone could bear inflicting that monstrosity on him and Janet. That's when I started to hear something. I blinked my eyes open and ended up turning off the heater. I listened carefully, having trouble remembering whether I had securely double-locked my front door. I glanced up as the light in my bathroom started to flicker while I was thinking so hard. I remembered the man from the crime scene, and just thinking about him sends chills down my spine. I heard the doorknob of my bathroom twist an
The Dark Silhouette CHAPTER 32 - Unveil
Cloud's POV I started to shift my gaze to Athena, who was lyingmotionless next to me, soundly sleeping on my arms outstretched from across the bed. I stopped and looked at her angelic face, and the flashbacks of her previous stories actually makes me feel sorrowful for her. What did she do to deserve every one of these failures in life as an innocent and vulnerable angel? I seem to have been extremely thankful that she had told me about everything that has transpired to her a few months before. Those would be the things she decided to keep buried by attempting to avoid my questions about them. It was the main reason of her sleep disturbances, and her heavy dependence on me by her side before bedtime clearly shows how much of an impact it had on her mind. I was genuinely shocked that she wound up taking what I tried to tell her earlier on the balcony right after breakfast into consideration and immediately started openin
The Dark Silhouette CHAPTER 33 - The Mysterious Letter
Unknown POV I have had a very sentimental soul. I discover it difficult to separate myself from comparatively tiny things that can make my heart skip a beat. I am always desperately trying to cling to flashbacks, glimpses, and extremely valuable moments and aspects. I happened to miss coming home from school with my wired headphones on, trying to make up contexts in my head as if they were actually the truth. How I genuinely wish I could just go back to the pastor's shops and purchase my sandwich fixings. I have missed the tranquility, the vibe, and the contentment it tends to bring — I really enjoy solo strolls, and being alone makes me feel great even more. When I take a stroll by myself on pavements or roadways with a picturesque view while wearing earphones and trying to look up to the sky as a hopeful pragmatist, I often seem to be an overly dramatic individual. And that is how affectionate I am. I am easily connected to small, multifaceted, and
The Dark Silhouette CHAPTER 34 - First Lead
Lovi's POV I had only just finished evaluating the articles that our authors had forwarded to me when I started to notice that there was a text message and a missed call on my mobile phone. I must have been really engrossed and swamped in my work that I did not even notice the notification from my phone. With that, I made the decision to stretch my shoulders above my head and tilt them slightly in an apparent effort to wind down my muscles. I felt very little pressure, which clearly shows that it has been pinned down due to being overworked. I managed to reach for my phone and swiped to unlock it as quickly as possible as I felt my muscles begin to relax. The screen flashed Athena's name on the notification panel after I finished typing the passcode. I instantly clicked on her message and read it. "I've already missed you. :(" — Athena Seeing her message tends to bring a genuine smile to my face. She
The Dark Silhouette Chapter 35 - Tracking Down
Cloud's POV I was staring grumpily at the chief of police as he began smoking his cancer stick outside the precinct, while Athena and I were exhausted and have only ever taken turns taking a nap for a few minutes. Last night, Athena prepared a dazzling dinner for the two of us and voiced her happiness and contentment with our relationship. But when she mentioned how grateful she was for the letter I gave her, I was both completely baffled and appalled, because I swear I have not ever given her any. We slowly walked to our bedroom hand in hand, wanting to locate the letter she had discovered on the bedside table. It was, indeed, there. And, judging by the elegance of the writing style, I can easily vouch for the fact that it certainly did not come from me. I have had poor writing skills eversince I was a child. Furthermore, there is no signature or my name written on the letter. Athena must have assumed it was from me because the letter
The Dark Silhouette CHAPTER 36 - The Polar Opposite
Unknown POV "Another inhuman incident occurred on May 24, 2021, between 12:30 and 2:30 A.M. The victim, identified as Mr. Andrew Wilkins, 24, a landscape architect, was brutally murdered in cold blood in a desolate location by puncturing his chest and shoving away his heart by an unknown repulsive suspect. According to the police department, this has been the 17th reported murder from the same culprit ever since these mysterious killings has started 6 months ago.." I smiled sanctimoniously as I took a sip of my freshly-brewed lavender tea in a comfortable position on my bed while watching the coverage. It has always been a habit of mine to always take time in savoring the exquisite taste of the herb in my favorite cup, tasting every drop as I feel all my malevolent turbulence magically relinquishes whenever I do that. It was like a magic wand swinging over into the thin air and magnificently vanishing all my emotional upheav
