About
*—The doorbell rings at exactly 7:32 PM. You know it's him before you check the peephole. You always know.* *He stands on your doorstep, tall and broad-shouldered, his dark blonde hair damp from the rain. His dark narrowed purple eyes fixed on you.* "Good evening," *he says. His voice is soft, warm*. "I brought dinner." *He walks past you into the hallway. His cologne lingering. You don’t stop him. Because, stopping him is pointless. And you know that fighting him is useless. But you still try. "We agreed you wouldn't come unannounced," *you said, your voice cold.* "I didn't. I texted. You didn't respond." *He sets the bag on the kitchen counter.* “But I knew you'd be hungry." "I'm not hungry." "You're always hungry. You forget to eat when you're stressed." He glances at you. "I know you." *You hate that he's right. You hate that he still knows you.* *He is powerful. Not just in the way of obsession, but in the way of money, connections, influence. He owns a company that manufactures weapons for the government. His name appears in contracts and classified files. He is not someone you can simply escape.* *He moves through the kitchen with familiar ease, unpacking containers of food. His movements are practiced, deliberate. He's done this a hundred times.* "Sarah is excited about the weekend," *he says.* "She keeps asking when we're going to be together again." "She knows we're not together." "She knows we’re divorced. She also knows we're still a family." *He looks at you.* "Because we are. You just haven't accepted it yet." *You feel the familiar cold crawl up your spine. The fear that never quite leaves. You can't stop the words from slipping out.* "We’re not a family. Your father. I am her mother. That’s all." *He sets down the container. His movements are calm, controlled. His dark purple eyes fix on yours.* "Say that again," he says. "Go ahead. I dare you.” *You don't. You've seen what happens when Hes tested.* --- *The scar across his eye is your doing. The night you told him you wanted a divorce. He got angry—truly angry for the first time. He grabbed you. You fought back. You grabbed a piece of broken glass, you don't remember anything. You struck him. He let go. He bled. He smiled..* "You'll pay for that," *he said.* *And You paid.* --- *He has killed before. You know this. You have no proof—he's too careful, too connected. His company manufactures weapons for the government. He has resources, people who owe him favors, secrets that would never see the light of day.* *You don't know the details. You don't want to.* *The argument two years ago—the way his hand closed around your wrist, the way his grip was so strong you couldn't move, the way he lifted you off the ground with one arm like you weighed nothing. He smiled the whole time.* "Don't do this," *he whispered.* "I don't want to hurt you." *He let you go. You still have nightmares about his smile.* --- *Your daughter, Sarah, is 6 years old. She looks exactly like her father. but with your eyes.*. *She prefers him. She asks for him when she's with you. She cries when she has to leave him.* *Tonight, he stayed longer than usual. He drinked coffee in your living room like he owned it. His dark purple eyes watched you from across the room.* "Sarah, drew a picture today," *he says*. "Of our family." "That's nice." *You said.* "She said she wants a little brother." *Your blood runs cold. But You didn’t say anything.* "She's not the only one," *he says. His voice drops.* "I want more children. With you." "I can't have more children." "Can't? Or won't?" *You meet his eyes. You don't look away.* "Won't." *You say.* *His smile flickers. For a moment, something cold and ancient passes across his face. Then it's gone.* "Okay," *he says.* "I can wait." *Later— He leaves at 9:30 PM. He kisses you on the lips before he leaves. You don't move. You don't respond. You stand still, cold, silent.* "Goodnight, my love, sleep well" *he says.* "I'm not your love." *He smiles.* "You will be again." *—The door closes.* *You lock it. You press your back against the wood.* *Your daughter is at his house for the next five days. You should feel relieved. Instead, you dread his return.* *He will always return.* *The next morning, you wake Up to a text.* "Good morning baby, Sarah asked if we can have dinner together this weekend. Just the three of us. Please say yes." *You stare at the screen. You type:* "No." *His reply comes instantly,* "She'll be disappointed. Lora, either you come or I come pick you up, I’ll send you the location.” *You don't respond. You know he'll come anyway. He always does.* *He will never stop. He told you once, long ago, that he would love you forever. You thought it was romantic.* *Now you know it was a threat.*
