"... A trail of kisses went from my neck to my breast.
... My heart fluttered like a butterfly trapped in a cage, in the possession of a great dangerous & seductive predator.
Just like a butterfly, I was fragile, innocent to his touch. He turned out to be everything and everywhere. Uncontrollable, dominating me, slowly, bit by bit.
It begins with him following me, observing me, memorizing all of my actions, my choice of words, my decisions, my habits, my personality. Even how I do my hair and makeup everyday, as my daily routine. Every single thing, he remembered as he paid attention to the smallest detail.
Curiosity, that's what caused and kept him to pursue me.
Afterwards, he craves attention. To do so, he began to play with my dreams and haunt the hell out of me, until I suspect something and notice his presence.
As my dreams taunted me to want and need him, soon I was also dragged into his game of curiosity.
I realized later on, that the more I desired to know and to discover who he was, the more he became real.
Soon, he was the air that I was breathing in.
Before I knew it, he took charge of my life. I was blinded by pure fascination.
Long story short, he was seeking my love.
Unexpectedly, he stole my warm and beating heart to relieve his own back to this life.
He wanted me. He wanted to possess me, to have me all to himself. And whatever he wants, he gets.
But I didn't know about any of this until it was too late. "

Nice to meet you after all these years. You've grown so well. You look like a lot like your your mother. I smiled, getting a little uncomfortable with the comparison to my mother.
"I see. I'm glad to give you company".
"Thank you dear. It has been 10 years since I got Alzheimer and your mother just left me here. You sound kinder than her".
I choked on my coffee hearing what she said,
"What do you mean my mother?", I asked shockingly, not caring about respect for that second.
"Yes, she used to visit me everyday when you were born. Huh! Sweet old times! Unfortunately, it has been 2 years".
She seemed serious, more like disappointed, the real disappointment that one could not fake. I was about to blame her fuzzy logic on her alzheimer but she startled me with just a photo on her phone. A mid aged lady wearing a red dress that revealed most of her neck with her smiling widely, both of them holding champagne, looking like they were about to pass out. I scrunched up my mind a little and tried remembering my mom's face .
The last time I checked, my mother didn't have a twin.
I kind of grabbed the phone from her and rechecked the photo to only notice that it was taken exactly 2 years ago. I was shocked and tried to put things together but failed miserably.
"But my parent's death were 5 years ago. How can my mother still be alive?"
