Obsessed

The Taunt

After Niki was caught attempting to escape from prison, he was put in solitary confinement. However, that didn't stop him from finding ways to taunt Y/N.

One day, Y/N received a letter in the mail. It was from Niki. She hesitated before opening it, knowing that it could be something hurtful. But eventually, she gave in and read the contents.

The letter was filled with insults and taunts directed at Y/N. Niki called her names and accused her of ruining his life. He wrote about how he would never forget what she did to him and how he would make her pay for it.

Y/N couldn't believe what she was reading. She had already been through so much because of Niki, and now he was still finding ways to hurt her. She tried to ignore the letter and move on with her life, but the words stuck with her and weighed heavily on her mind.

Despite the taunts, Y/N knew that she had done the right thing by testifying against Niki. She reminded herself that she was not responsible for his actions and that he was the only one to blame for his own choices. But the words in the letter still haunted her, and she couldn't help but wonder if Niki would ever truly let go of his anger towards her.

Y/N was walking home from work when her phone rang. She answered it without looking at the caller ID.

"Hello?" she said.

"Y/N, it's me," Niki's voice said on the other end.

Y/N's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't heard from Niki since the trial. "What do you want?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady.

"I just wanted to call and say hello," Niki said. "And to remind you that I'm still here."

Y/N gritted her teeth. She didn't want to give Niki the satisfaction of getting a rise out of her. "I'm hanging up now," she said.

"Wait, Y/N," Niki said quickly. "There's something I want to tell you."

Y/N hesitated. She didn't want to give Niki the time of day, but she was curious about what he had to say. "Fine, what is it?" she asked.

"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry," Niki said. "I'm sorry for everything that happened between us. I know I messed up big time, but I want you to know that I never stopped loving you."

Y/N's heart softened a bit at Niki's words, but she quickly shook it off. "You can't just say sorry and expect everything to be okay," she said. "What you did was unforgivable, Niki."

"I know," Niki said. "But I want to make it up to you. I want to prove to you that I've changed and that I can be the man you deserve."

Y/N didn't know what to say. Part of her wanted to believe Niki, but another part of her was scared that he was just playing with her emotions. "I need some time to think," she finally said. "I'll call you back."

"Okay," Niki said. "I'll be waiting."

Y/N hung up the phone and took a deep breath. She didn't know what to do. Part of her wanted to give Niki another chance, but another part of her was scared of getting hurt again. She knew she needed to talk to someone about it, but she didn't know who to turn to.

As she walked home, she couldn't shake the feeling that Niki was still manipulating her, even from prison. She knew she needed to be careful, but she didn't know how to protect herself from someone who knew her so well.

Niki's taunts continued for weeks, as Y/N struggled to cope with the emotional toll it was taking on her. She tried her best to ignore his messages and phone calls, but Niki seemed to find new ways to reach her no matter what she did.

One day, Y/N received a letter in the mail. As soon as she saw the handwriting on the envelope, she knew it was from Niki. She hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly opened the letter.

Inside, she found a single sheet of paper with only two words written on it: "I'm sorry."

Y/N was taken aback by the unexpected apology. She wasn't sure if she could trust Niki's words, but she felt a glimmer of hope that maybe he was sincere in his remorse.

She wrote back to him, asking for an explanation for his behavior and what had led him to apologize now. Niki wrote back, pouring his heart out in a long letter explaining his past traumas and how they had led him down a destructive path. He expressed genuine remorse for his actions and asked for forgiveness.

Over the next few weeks, Y/N and Niki corresponded through letters, each opening up about their own struggles and challenges. Y/N was surprised to find that she was developing a sense of empathy and understanding for Niki, and even found herself starting to forgive him.

Eventually, Niki's letters stopped coming. Y/N didn't hear from him for months, and she wasn't sure what had happened. Then one day, she received a package in the mail.

Inside was a letter from Niki's mother, explaining that Niki had passed away from an illness while in prison. She included a final letter from Niki, expressing his love and gratitude for Y/N's forgiveness and understanding.

Y/N was heartbroken at the news, but also felt a sense of closure and peace knowing that Niki had found some semblance of redemption in his final days. She kept the letters as a reminder of the complex, often painful journey they had both been through.
