"No one wants you! So don't expect your parents to pick you up!"
"No...!"
"Listen to me, Lyra! Your mom and dad have a new life now. That's why they sent you here. After I get married, I don't want you to disturb my life! I will take you to an orphanage!"
"No way...! You're evil, I hate you...!"
The girl ran out of the house that she called hell, since her father and mother took her to this house and promised to pick her up before Christmas.
It had been three years since that day and she had always waited patiently for it. Anger because she felt unwanted by anyone made her conscience rebel. She needed a place to vent her anger and she knew where she had to go.
She was standing in front of an old, isolated hut where a old lady and her 13-year-old grandson lived. This l)girl walked quietly and stopped right in front of the boy's bedroom window.
"Lucas...! Open the window...!" She shouted while banging roughly on the front window. From inside the room, a boy looked scared as he tried to open the window.
"L-Lyra?" His face was pale. The wounds on his forehead and lips had not yet dried. His body was shaking and he knew that he would be in trouble again tonight.
"What are you doing? Let's go!"
"G-go? Go where?"
"Just come along, don't ask too many questions!"
"B-but-"
"Hurry up, come with me...!" This girl roughly grabbed Lucas' hand and forced him to come with her.
They walked towards the forest which was right behind the old hut. The forest is said to be home to a pack of ferocious wild wolves. Lucas was scared, from where they were, he could even hear the sound of wolves howling from inside the forest.
He held back his footsteps, trying to rebel against Lyra, who was bigger than him, forcing him to go into the forest together.
"L-Lyra, I'm scared!"
"What are you afraid of? We will go together, you understand?"
"B-but where are we going? Why are we heading to the forest? Grandma said there are lots of wolves in this forest, I'm scared."
Lucas started to whine, his body trembling and cold sweat dripping down his body. He knew that if he behaved like this, Lyra would hate him. He doesn't have any other friends apart from Lyra and even though she often becomes Lyra's target when this girl is angry or things don't go according to her wishes. Then he will definitely be hit, kicked and stepped on.
Lyra was silent for a moment, her eyes held enormous anger. She wanted to cry, but she tried to hold it in. Her parents left her here, with strangers she thought were family. She was thrown away, that she realized now.
"Lucas, do you love me?" The question came out of her mouth. Lucas was surprised because he didn't know what to say now.
"What's wrong, Lyra? Why do you look sad?"
"My parents, they won't pick me up!"
"What? Why? Didn't you say they would pick you up before Christmas?"
"Mom and dad are divorced, they have a new family and don't want me anymore!"
"That's impossible! Your parents must be planning a surprise for you, so be patient until Christmas comes and-"
"No...! They won't come! They don't want me anymore, they threw me away...!" She screamed hysterically, sobbing desperately.
Lyra crouched down, hiding her face in her knees. Her heart hurt too much to process all the problems that were happening. Seeing this girl so down, Lucas hugged her tightly.
"Lyra, it's okay. There's still me, right? I won't leave you, I promise!" He whispered softly.
Lyra stopped crying and raised her head to look at Lucas who smiled gently at her. For some reason she felt angry, she hated every time she remembered that Lucas had a grandmother who loved him very much.
"Lucas!"
"Yes, Lyra?"
"Do you like me?"
"W-what did you say? I-"
"You don't like me, huh?"
"T-that's not it, I-"
"I like you, Lucas."
"What?"
Lucas' face turned red when he heard Lyra's surprising confession. He always thought Lyra hated him because this girl was always angry and rude to him.
"B-but we're only 13 years old, so-"
"Is there really a prohibition on children aged 13 not being able to like each other?"
"I-it's not like that, I just-"
"You like Ruby?"
"Ruby? N-no! I don't like her!" He said confusedly. Lucas was completely unprepared for a situation like this. He felt very embarrassed, but on the one hand he also felt happy.
Lyra closed her eyes and made Lucas confused about what she was doing. Seeing Lyra's face so close, he realized that this girl was very beautiful. Her hair is black with beautiful brown eyes.
Lucas was pounding, he was a boy who was starting to grow into a teenager. He felt awkward, but on the one hand he felt very embarrassed. His instinct made him subconsciously kiss the lips of the girl in front of him. After realizing that Lucas was kissing her, Lyra opened her eyes with a strange smile.
"Lucas, you're really flirtatious. You just kissed me, didn't you?"
"I-I'm sorry! I thought you-"
"Who said I asked to be kissed? You pervert!" Lyra starts to tease him, making Lucas feel guilty. He really thought that Lyra closed her eyes like that because she wanted to be kissed.
"I-I'm sorry!"
"You pervert, hahaha...!"
"I-I'm not that kind of guy!" Lucas started to struggle, his pride hurt because he really didn't mean to be weird.
Lyra pushed Lucas' body until Lucas fell on his back on the grass. Roughly, Lyra forced the poor boy's shirt and trousers off and made him naked before tying his hands together with the rope he had secretly carried.
"Lucas, I think your penis has started to grow. It turns out you are really a boy, huh? Hahaha..." Lyra started to abuse Lucas holding his penis, while Lucas just sobbed.
He was not used to fighting back when attacked by someone, let alone responding to the actions of a girl who bothered him. He realized that he was too weak and timid just because this girl was a little taller than him.
"Stop, please stop-"
"What did you say? You bastard! You want to fight? You feel this, you bastard...!"
Lyra started going berserk and beat Lucas who was helpless because his hands were tied. He knew that if he resisted, he could avenge Lyra's cruelty, but he promised his grandmother that he would never hurt, let alone hit, a woman.
After she was satisfied with beating Lucas, Lyra started to feel guilty. Lucas was shivering from the cold, his face was getting paler. Lyra helped Lucas put his clothes back on. But that doesn't make Lucas any better.
"Lucas? Lucas? Are you okay? Lucas?" She said while hugging the boy's body to give him warmth. Lucas just nodded slowly and whispered.
"Lyra, I like you."
"What?"
"I really like you, I like you, Lyra."
"You idiot, what did you say?"
Lyra sobbed. She hated to admit that she also really liked Lucas. However, her anger and hatred towards her parents who abandoned her for three years made her unable to treat Lucas well.
Grrrr...grrr...
There was the sound of a wild animal growling from behind the bushes accompanied by the howling of a wolf from a distance. Lyra began to have a bad feeling, she turned her head towards the bushes slowly and her eyes immediately widened when she saw a large wolf that looked as if it was stalking them.
"Aaagh..." Lyra screamed in fear and unconsciously left Lucas, who was in a weak state, alone at the entrance of the forest.
"Lucas...?" She realized something and slowly turned to the place where Lucas was still lying weakly on the grass with the wolf who looked like he was going to pounce on him.
"Lucas? No...! Lucas...!"
"L-Lyra? Help me...!"
She heard Lucas groan as he tried to crawl away from the wolf. Lyra, who saw this terrible incident, remained silent in her place.
"Lucas...!"
"Lyra...!"
Lucas stretched out his hand for Lyra to help him. But the wolf pounced on his neck and dragged him into the dark forest.
Time seemed to stop, her eyes barely blinked when she saw how the wolf pounced and dragged Lucas' body into the forest. Lyra sat limply, her body shaking. She didn't know what she had done and she got Lucas killed.
"No, Lucas. No way!"

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
My boyfriend called, "Baby!" as he jumped out of bed and scrambled to pull his pants off the ground. "Please, I can explain my love." Shutting my eyes, I inhaled deeply and tried not to cry when I realized that my dream of the man not being my boyfriend had been dashed. "What?" I asked, "What do you want to explain?" How did you lie about having a business meeting while you were in bed enjoying yourself with my best friend, even though I told you I was in serious pain, is that it?" I stood there, my heart pounding, and tears streaming down my face...
