MINE TO UNMAKE

The OBSESSION

OBSESSION

Year 1-3, Blackwood Academy:

She sat behind him in Advanced Calculus.He never looked back.

She memorized his penmanship. His _coffee order. The scar on his left knuckle.

He called her “Vance”. Never Eira.

The Snap, Age 17:

Valentine’s Day, She left a handmade music box in his locker. Swan Lake.

He found it. Gave it to the janitor.

Said “Somebody lost this.”

Eira watched from the stairwell. Smiled. And started her first journal.

The shrine in her room — Sterling Penthouse, Floor 53:

One wall. Floor to ceiling. Black.

127 photos. All Jayden.

Age 14: Jayden at his parents’ funeral. She was there. He didn’t see her.

Age 17: Jayden sleeping in the library. She took it through the window.

Age 24: Jayden leaving Onyx’s grave. Timestamp: 3:17AM. She was in the tree line.

Center frame: The only one he posed for. Yearbook. He’s looking past the camera. She traced his jawline until the glass cracked.

She also had Jayden's necklace she had stolen engraved as J.B. in her drawer.

ALWAYS THE STALKER

I had really gone mad, for someone who never loved me. I had pretended to be Ophelia, to work at the jewelry shop owned by the blackwoods to get Jayden's attention.

I had also paid Mrs Helen $50k to hire me and then paid her weekly for zahra to be humiliated by everyone when I found out about her affairs with Jayden.

“ you are so blind Venessa,” I said whispering, looking at a photo of her and Jayden at teenage

I tore it into two, and threw her part at the fire place.

No one knew of my obsession with Jayden, not even uncle Lucuis. I had forced the blackwoods to adopt him after the death of his parents, keeping him trapped in the same circle of shadows where i live.

You must be wondering how?

But I always have my way.

COLLISION OF BLOOD

Now, my cousin Venessa is back, trying to reset her romance with him. Venessa was the childhood sweetheart, but I have always been the one who ensured he is safe. Else, he would have been getting rid of by uncle Lucuis ever since. Uncle Lucuis is a weakling when it comes to violence required for true power. So, I handled all his dark secrets myself.

Venessa had no idea that every time she kisses him, she is touching the man whose parents her own cousin deleted.
