BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE) UNSHACKLED
My eyes fluttered open, slowly.I must have dozed off.The room came into focus as the memory of the recent ordeals flooded my mind, replaying like a broken record.It drifted from James to Darius and back to James.The memories still lingered but their power over me was fading. I remembered the whispered lies, the manipulation, the gaslighting, and the isolation. But, my heart and my happiness will be taken into consideration, henceforth.I slipped into my gown and walked out of the room. I descended the stairs and caught sight of him.James-- he sat on the couch, phone in hand, murmuring a few words that seemed private.I smiled at the realization that I wasn't even surprised or bothered to know what it was about. He dropped the phone the instant he noticed me behind the coffee table.Familiar reaction, lol.That explains what the call was about."Hi, darling. You're up" he said, gently."I'm down now, as you can see", I answered, walking past him and settling on the couch beside h
BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE) TRAPPED
I repeated his name several times, unsure of what to do. I was so agitated that my mind raced with worst-case scenarios.James.James.James.I said as I slipped back into my night gown.How did this happen?How am I supposed to handle this?..I was in a maze with no clear exit."Hey, go ahead", Darius said.He looked so fearless.Does he not understand?"H-he's a-at the d-door, You came in somehow right?" I stuttered, expecting an answer.Or a reaction, maybe.But even in the dark, I could see the glimmer in his eyes. He didn't even blink.Okay, I don't need your answer. Just be gone, that's all I care about."Please leave or maybe hide, just be invisible", I said, pushing him lightly as I prepared to open the door.He stood still, unwavered.I was going to say something but the knocks grew louder and more insistent."Suit yourself", I hissed.The knocking stopped and for a moment there was silence, then he continued."Are you okay in there, Mariam? I heard noises minutes ago".I to
BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE) TORN VEILS
The walls of the room faded away as my eyes widened in shock. The figure's face, more visible as he walked towards me threw me off my balance."Hey", he said, catching me as I tripped."You?". I stuttered, trying to process the revelation. "I-I think I-I'm in a daze".He looked so gentle, unbothered, unmoved as he smiled cheekily " I can imagine, this is a lot to take in"How can this be?What the hell is going on?"First off, Darius, no, Caden, okay, whatever, you're not supposed to be here" I said, my voice barely above a whisper.The figure didn't respond, he kept looking at me with this..... Unnerving smile. It was really unsettling.I tried to get him to say something but he just stood there, expressionless.Despite the danger that lurked beneath the surface of the revelation, I felt so safe and wished there were a positive little thing on the other side.I didn't want to lose him, not yet." Care to tell me what this is about?", I said, my mind reeling with the implications.He
BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE) THE SILENCE BETWEEN TWO MEN
The elevator doors closed behind me with a soft hiss, but the sound echoed in my chest like a gunshot. My body was still humming—thighs trembling, lips swollen, the taste of him lingering like a bruise I couldn’t see.But my mind…My mind was nowhere near the hotel.It was trapped in the glow of my phone screen, in the six words that had cracked something deep inside me:You shouldn’t have gone to him. — Caden_88The same fingers that had been gripping the lapels of Darius's suit minutes ago were now shaking. It didn’t make sense. Two men. Two sides. But one heartbeat. One presence.I pressed the back of my head against the elevator wall, shutting my eyes as the floor numbers blinked downward.Caden was gentle.Darius was wildfire.But tonight, both of them knew where I had been.Both of them reacted.My breath hitched. Not from guilt—no, I was past guilt—but from confusion, from the way their worlds had collided without warning.The elevator stopped on the ground floor. The doors ope
BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE) ECHOES OF THE MASK
The message came at 2:14 a.m.No words. Just a location pin. The same hotel. The same room number.For a long time, I stared at the screen, the soft blue glow painting my face in ghost light. I should have ignored it. I should have turned off my phone, rolled over, and let the night take me.But I didn’t.My body moved before my mind caught up. By the time I realized what I was doing, I was already standing at the door, coat thrown loosely over silk, pulse drumming like war.The streets were silent, the kind of silence that feels rehearsed—like the city already knew what was about to happen.When I entered the suite, he was there.Darius.The mask sat on the table beside him, a symbol stripped bare. He wasn’t wearing it this time but his face was not visible. He was half in shadow, half in the dark gold light of the chandelier—shirt unbuttoned, sleeves rolled, eyes calm, calculating.“I didn’t think you’d come,” he said.“I almost didn’t.”“But you did.”I hated that smirk. I hated h
BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE) WHEN THE MASK CRACK
The silence in the house felt different tonight. Not the silence of peace, but the silence that waits for something to break.James had gone upstairs hours ago, leaving behind half a glass of whiskey and a trail of regret that still lingered like stale smoke. I sat alone on the couch, staring at the faint reflection of myself in the black television screen — the woman who lied for her husband, not out of loyalty, but strategy.I wasn’t his savior. I was his reckoning, just delayed.The reporters’ visit had shifted everything. Their questions, their hungry eyes, their mics pointed at our pain — it had all been Darius’s move. His way of testing whether I’d bend or burn. But instead, I’d smiled, turned my head just so, and told them exactly what I wanted the world to hear. That was my game. My world. My rules.Now, the silence was my applause.I reached for my phone, half expecting nothing, half expecting everything.And there it was.Caden_88: You handled that beautifully.I stared at t
BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE) PLEASURE AND GUILT
I hurriedly got up, but the person had already left. I was wondering who could have seen me. Nobody should ever see me like this. I went to bed and eventually managed to sleep.The next day, I saw Jessica, and I kept looking at her face, hoping to see something. Anything. Who was in the house with
BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE) EXPLORE
I wanted things to work between James and I. I wanted so badly for him to see me as more than just a woman he married, more than just a possession he could bring out, decorate, fuck, and tuck away when he was done. Maybe if he ever looked at me like I mattered, like I had desires too, I wouldn't h
BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE) FIRST PUNISHMENT
I stared at the text. “Don’t be late.”I knew I didn’t want to find out what my lateness would cost, so I got dressed and left without the driver. I boarded a cab and went there.I was scared and uncertain, but I still went. I got there and walked into the apartment in this lonely off-town place. A
BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE) WHO IS IN THE DARK?
Scared I was exposed. I got up quickly and hid away the package I got and went to freshen up. I was panicking so bad, thinking: who was this person? Who saw me? I had a lot of questions, and I needed to uncover this secret. Nobody was supposed to find out about my secret.James got back. I kept on
