Eiran Celestino

With her, life is becoming more difficult but also more lovely. She's amazing. She's a blessing to me. She makes me feel somewhat pleased. All things frighten me these days, except her.

She slept under my arms that night because she was so exhausted. She was a person I admired till morning. All I could do was admire, watch, and take in her. I gently bring her to my house when she nods off to make sure she doesn't wake up from her lovely dreams. She slept that night and looked very beautiful.

Peaceful and delightful.

My lovely thoughts of her vanished as my phone started ringing all of a sudden.

Fuck.

Mom is calling me. Though I don't like her, it doesn't mean that I hate her. She's my stepmom. I didn't really become attached to her for that reason. I made the choice to answer the call.

"How's my son doing?" With joy, she exclaimed. Perhaps due to the fact that she is childless, she adores me.

I said wryly, "I'm doing well though." I'm not even in the right frame of mind to speak with her.

"I contacted you to let you know about the ceremony for your dad's company's golden jubilee and—".

"You tell me this at least five times," I interrupted. "I know I'm not that kid." She's insane but cute at the same time. She merely informed me about the company's golden jubilee even as disturbing me for the entire day. This is already known to me; in fact, I supervise every aspect of the event's preparation.

"I have a question about gigi, listen to me first." she said in a serious tone.

Okay.

"I'd prefer not to discuss her, please. Proceed through dad to ask questions about her." My deep trauma was triggered by Gigi's murder. It was my own father who caused me to experience this turmoil. I don't like him either. Everybody wants to know about her, treating me like she's my boss and I'm her assistant.

Fuck it.

I'm starting to get haunted by everything. I hate my life so much. Mysha is the only thing left for me at this point. However, it's possible that she will leave me as well, and I won't allow this to happen.

Fuck me.

"Tell me one thing you told your dad about Mysha?" I wasn't sure how he would respond if he found out that I am dating a private investigator who had experience working on one of our employees. But best to keep things under wraps for the time being.

"Not at all. No, I didn't." I stated plainly. It feels better to me, so I tell Mom about Mysha.

"Will you be inviting her to the celebration as well?" She asks a lot of questions, but why? I believe that telling her about Mysha was a mistake.

"Indeed", I replied icily once more. I want her to join me in my celebration. Regarding my dad, I could care less. I have a lot of strategies to keep him in the dark about Mysha and myself.

"As you desire, my son, but..."

"Don't be worried about me."

Suddenly, I heard Mysha's voice behind me, saying, "Hey, Eiran". As usual, she spoke gently.

This voice lightened my annoyed mood.

I looked back and saw that she was here. I smiled at her.

I hung up the phone after saying, "Mom, I'll call you later."

"You are present in my office. Everything is alright?" I remarked with a warm smile as I tucked a few hairs behind her ear.

"Yes, everything is fine...I called you, but you didn't answer," I believe I'm busy with my mother's call. I apologize, Bellissima.

"I apologize for these miscommunications."

"No, everything is okay." After a pause she continued, "Your dad sent me the invitation card for your golden jubilee at this company, which is why I'm here," she added. How come? My father invites her to the party. Already. Do I dream? Damn!

I ask, "Really?" as if this isn't real.

"Yes, your dad called me and said that I helped him a lot, so that's why I'm also invited," she remarked with a small laugh.

I really need to talk to my dad right now.

I fake a smile and say, "That's great." Confusion fills my entire psyche.

Mysha

I said to myself in a whisper, "I think I'll have to switch the music." I'm in my car. Returning back to home. Nowadays, my life is becoming less stressful. Just lovely vibes.

I'm heading to the Celestino Company Golden Jubilee in two days. I think it looks fine. I've been to a lot of parties and celebrations, such as case solved parties, but I've never been to a gathering like this. It's thrilling. I'm going to join the billionaires' party. Cannot wait!

I turned the music around and started playing 'I feel it coming' by the Weeknd. One of the Weeknd's incredible tracks is this one. I think every song by The Weeknd is incredible.

I began to enjoy the lyrics and the melody. But suddenly, something felt odd to me.

From the following mirror, I saw a car. This car has been following me for thirty minutes. This seems odd. When I went into Eiran's office an hour ago, I spotted the same car outside as well. Is that random dude who seems strange following me? I brought the vehicle to a stop. Behind me, one car came to a stop also. Totally strange. In case something happened, I pulled my gun out of my back pocket and unlocked my car door to see who it was. I knock on the window glass as I get closer to the car. That window glass has a shade of black. There is nothing visible behind the window.

"Who are you?" I asked.

After a second, That person opens the window, and I see the person who was standing outside my house that day, dressed in the same black hood. My jaw dropped to the floor.

This made me take slow steps back. He's stalking me again. I don't even know how to react.

After a minute, without any response he just shut the window of his car and then started it and drove away. I am still at my place. I'm completely shocked. I felt a lump in my throat. My mind is buzzing with unresolved thoughts. Why do I feel like he just gave me a warning without saying anything?

I get an uneasy feeling about his warning.

Is a random black hood person constantly stalking me?

This scared me.
