She watched, but everything seemed dreamlike, like an out of body experience. For her it was a living nightmare, with every passing second, she looked on as her world was falling to pieces.
This was not how it was supposed to be, she thought, as by some miracle the tears stayed away.

I asked hoping he wouldn't go overboard. He leaned in and whispered in my ear, "It's pretty simple. I want you to owe me a favor. Just to be clear on the rules, you have to do what I ask you to whenever you're told to, and whatever the thing is." That's a risky game. I don't like to agree to something when I don't really know what it is. What the hell are you getting yourself into Emma? "What kind of a favor?" "That does not concern you just yet. Just remember that your little friend is almost out if time. August is near, and if you deny me my request, I'll kill that boyfriend of yours." he threatened.

Forgotten Memories
I was surprised to see he had opened the gifts after all, which thrilled me since he usually didn't give gifts. "Why did you come to my office?" he asked rudely, raising an eyebrow, clearly annoyed that I hadn't asked for permission to leave home. "I called you, but you didn't answer, so I came here" I explained, feeling like a child. "Why did you come here?" he pressed again. "My friend called to say she is going shopping for her wedding..." Before I could finish, I heard a loud crash behind me. My watch lay shattered on the floor; he had thrown it. Tears filled my eyes as I turned back to him. "Is this why you came here? Don't you realize how busy I am?" he yelled, glaring at me. "How dare you come to my office without my permission and claim to be my wife? Who gave you that right?" His words were sharp and emotionless. He wasn't upset that I had left home he was furious that I had come to his office and announced that I was his wife, which was the truth.

The Rule We Broke
"Never fall in love with your best friend. A rule built to last, until the moment it shattered." She made one rule to protect her heart: keep the friendship sacred. It was supposed to be her sanctuary, a shield against the kind of heartbreak you can never replace. But rules-no matter how carefully constructed-rarely survive the weight of a lifetime. Back in high school, they were a world of two: late-night calls, shared secrets, and laughter that belonged only to them. They were inseparable until the day he spoke the words that changed everything. In a single heartbeat, silence replaced their history, and the line between "us" and "strangers" was drawn in the sand. Years have passed. They've built different lives and loved different people. but when fate forces them back into the same orbit, the gravity of the past is impossible to ignore. Old feelings resurface alongside guilt, temptation, and the dangerous pull toward a boundary that was never meant to be crossed. Because sometimes, the people we spend a lifetime running from... are the very ones we've been running toward all along. But what happens when the love you finally claim becomes the very thing that divides you forever?
