The Psychopath Next Door

"What are you still doing here, Sydney?" I asked Sydney in surprise when I saw her still on my bed. I just finished taking a shower. He was wearing no top and only his boxer shorts. "We're done," I added. I grabbed my bathrobe and adjusted its tie. "I'll take a shower here before I leave your unit, Eljeh." My thin eyebrows met and he grabbed my bimpo. He even wrapped it around his waist. "Why? Can't you just leave without taking a shower?" I asked him annoyed. "Last night's exercise made me sweat. I smell sweat and my body is sticky," he said and I blew air out of my mouth. "Why did you say something rude? What is exercise? Your mother, ha! You didn't sleep here!” I yelled at him and was about to hit him when someone rang the doorbell at the door of my condo. "Maybe those are your girls again, Sydney. Are you really a mother, bringing a girl to my condo?” I asked him annoyed and I walked to open whoever was outside. I also felt his obedience. "I don't have a girl, Eljeh and if there is one—" I opened the door and was about to scold his girls who rushed in because for a month that's what I always do. "You're my only woman..." he added and wrapped his arm around my waist but I... It's like I just saw a ghost. My eyes widened and I could hear a loud pounding in my chest, as if I was going to be deaf. It seems like my soul will run away. "A-Azul..." I said his name. His eyes have no emotion and it's really cold. His jaw was tensing. I was filled with nervousness and fear of what he might think. Just by his reaction, I already know what the outcome of all this is. "I wish I had believed at first that you were just fooling me, Eljehanni," he promised coldly and firmly. "Babe, what do you mean? Wait, I'll explain, Azul," I said and grabbed his arm but he just shook it. I was hurt by what he did. "He's your boyfriend Sydney Montessori, isn't he?" he asked me and looked at Sydney. I removed his arm from my waist and approached Azul. "Let me explain, Azul... You're thinking wrong now," I said nervously but he stepped away from me. "Babe..." “Look at yourself, Eljehanni. To the man next to you? It's clear you're just fooling me. Since you seduced me, you already have a boyfriend! That's why I don't want to get close to you because of your attitude, Eljehanni!" he accused me. "What? What are you talking about, Azul?! Nothing... I don't have—” “Thank you for your best friend, Eljehanni. I made you come here to find out about the fraud you did to me.” "No! You're thinking wrong! I'm not fooling you, Azul!” When he turned his back on me, I chased after him even though I was only wearing a bathrobe. I don't want him to leave me suddenly before I have explained to him. "Babe! Blue!” I didn't reach the elevator because it closed immediately. I pressed it a few times but it didn't really open. Tears were welling up in my eyes and I was about to take the elevator when Sydney pulled me away. "You're going to follow him wearing just that?" "Why didn't you leave my condo and why did you go out?!" I shouted at him furiously. I hit his chest. "Who is that man and you are still crying for him?" "My fiancé!" I cried and screamed, which even shocked him. “S-Sorry...” He said he was with my best friend. I don't know why they are together and he said something that I don't understand. What am I just fooling him? I don't know what he said. I called Snow because he was the only one he was referring to as my best friend, but because when I returned home to the Philippines, we had a falling out. But why is my fiancé with him? That girl didn't answer my call and wanted me to go. I got dressed right away and Sydney was about to come with me when I stopped her. He is at the hotel checking in. At that moment, nothing really entered my mind but to rush Snow. I don't know if he is angry with me again. When I arrived at his hotel suite, it was open because there was a slipper on the chin to prevent it from closing completely. I opened it and looked for her inside because she didn't seem to be here but I saw her phone on the bed. He still has luggage. I looked at his bathroom door because I could hear the water splashing. Maybe the witch is taking a bath. I didn't think twice and went there. When I opened it, it seemed like a knife had been plunged into my chest. My tongue froze at what I saw and I couldn't speak anymore. If before I was filled with anger in my chest but now... I only felt pain and pain in my heart. "Ohh, Azul..." My hand trembled and I seemed to have been nailed from where I was standing. I saw my fiancé kiss Snow. It was leaning against the wall because both of its legs were on Azul's waist. They were all wet with water because they were under it. My fiancé wasn't wearing a t-shirt but Snow... She was almost naked and one of her breasts was covered by his big palm. He was kissing her neck and he was also moving like... My vision darkened and I saw myself adjusting Snow. I also

I slowly got out of the car after it stopped at the place I was going to. I am here now at a cafe where I will wait for my fiance. "Mr. Heynam, I'll just wait here outside." My driver promised. I just nodded to what he said and immediately entered the cafe. The place was filled with the coffee's aroma. It felt so nice. . . . I groaned. I looked at my watch several times but the person I was waiting for was still not here. 'It's been thirty minutes already!' I sighed. "Mr. Heynam?" I was surprised when someone suddenly called my last name. I immediately looked at him. "Ah-- It's me." I said and stood up. I reached out my hand to shake hands but he didn't accept it and just sat on the other side of the table. I smiled in awkwardness. "What did you want to discuss?" He said seriously after sitting down. "This is about our marriage. I wanted to clarify things with you first." I told him first and faced him. "I don't want to marry you when you have that boyfriend." I promise. He glared at me before uttering a word. "Do I look like a man who has time to find a lover? Do you even think that I am interested in getting married?" He asked me annoyed. I was silent. "If you also think that I have time for this, then you're wrong. If that's all you tell me, I'll leave." He said before standing up. "Mr. Alfonso." I just called. "Before you go, I want you to know that what I dislike the most in men are those who are grumpy and careless." I promised him. "If I will marry you, then I suggest you start changing your attitude towards others." I added. He just looked at me. "Are you kidding?" He said and I frowned. "What?" I'm confused by this question. "What right do you have to say that to me?" He asked me and before I could answer he approached me. His eyes were fierce. "Mr. Heynam, know your place." I was silent and my eyes widened. I clenched my fists and bit my lower lip. I just looked at Matthew Jayden Alfonso, my soon to be husband. He stared at me annoyed, "Go home." He told me, but I was silent. He sighed. "Go home and don't be stupid. I hate dealing with foolish people." He said before turning his back on me and leaving the cafe. I was blank for a moment. I'm Nah Lien Heynam. I am the fiance of the man from earlier Matthew Jayden Alfonso. We will get married soon because our families want to share our wealth. I'm also the only child of the Heynam family, so my parents have no choice but to marry me off. I hate it... but there's nothing I can do. My parents wanted more power, and as their son I couldn't do anything.

Klea 'Harmony' Infantes I sat on the floor while crying. "You're so stupid, Harmony!" I yelled to myself. "You fooled a worthless person!" I shouted to myself while looking in front of the mirror. I feel my. I closed my eyes tightly and stopped crying when someone knocked on the door. I was in agony, I knew it was just Anthony. I will not fool him again, never! KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK I was in agony again when I heard its knock. "Get out!" I shouted and I heard no answer. "I-I don't need you anymore!" I shouted more then wiped the tears from my eyes. "But I need you!" he shouted and I was stunned, he needs me? When?! "You're the only one I want to be with for the rest of my life, Elisse! Forgive me for whatever I've done to you!" yelled again outside that I stopped more and more. 'Elisse?' Who is Elisse? Ah, it's probably the woman he just replaced me with and she's really going to hurt me even here in the Apartment where I'm staying! I stood up annoyed when someone called the intercom and I took a deep breath before answering. "Hello." "Hello Ma'am?" said on the other line. "Why?" I will ask. "Are you the signatory in your unit? Many people have been calling your neighbor, Ma'am, and they say there is something noisy outside, maybe you can tell them who the visitor is and maybe you will be reported to the landlady we." Manong guard said and I'm okay. Annoyed I dropped the intercom and went straight to the door and angrily opened it. "Can you leave!" I yelled in annoyance at this but it turned out that he was sitting on the side while bowing down...it's not Anthony, is it? "Who are you?" I asked and he lifted his face but he still closed his eyes. "Forgive me, Elisse. I swear, I will do everything to bring you back...I love you so much!" he said and my mouth fell open. Thank you! Men are really cheaters! Now you're going to beg for that Elisse to come back after you fooled him tsk! Annoyed, I turned my back on him but I was startled when he quickly hugged me and buried his head in my neck. "I love you so much Elisse! Don't leave me, I will do everything, just say it baby." he said and I blinked, and with a little self-consciousness, I quickly removed his hug from me. "What? I'm not Elisse! I don't even know her, and who are you? What are you doing here in my house, I don't even know you!" I said this annoyed and took a deep breath. I heard him laughing softly so I stared at him, did he seem sad? Why does he seem to be sadder than me, I'm broken hearted! I left it? then he just cheated on his boyfriend too, jusme. I pampered him. "Go away!" I said but it didn't seem to hear psh what a waste of effort. "Do you hate me that much, huh? You know how much I loved you! I choose you over my friends and my family, I chose you, I accepted it even if I found out you were with someone else...it's okay with me. ..I'll still accept you just...just don't leave me baby..I don't know what I'll do if I lose you." he said and I was stunned by what I heard. He knelt down in front of me so I covered my mouth and immediately looked at my neighbors who were looking at me, the others looked pitying and looked at me badly. Hello, why does it seem like my fault? I'm not Elisse, okay, for god's sake. "I'm sorry but I'm not Elisse, who is that and you really caused a scandal in my unit, don't you know that you can be taken to the vellage!" I said softly here. "I don't care about them, all I care is you Elisse.." he said and I just blushed. "And if you can't love me either, I'd rather die!" he said then stood up so we all screamed, including the marites who were there, jusme. "Hey, don't joke like that!" I said nervously. "I'm not joking, Elisse, I swear I'm willing to take my life if you can't love me!" he said and immediately left me dumbfounded. I only came to my senses when Ate yelled at me who had been making out with us. "Hey, what are you doing, Miss! The man has already left and maybe he will come true to his threat to kill himself, I really want young people now!" he said nervously that's why I quickly took the key to my unit and locked it and immediately followed him but when I arrived at the entrance he was already in his car and quickly left so I immediately stopped the tricycle I saw and I followed it. Shocks, I'm not ready for this, I saw the car stopped in an empty lot so I quickly got out and paid Kuyang Driver and approached his car but he didn't lower his glasses at me. "Open it!" I shouted but there was no answer. Come on. Maybe it didn't betray his self, right? Oh my vegetable, why now? I took a deep breath before peering into its tinted glass, it's hard and maybe your brother is a ghost, and I see a scary creature but when I got closer, it immediately got bigger because I saw that the mouth was foaming!

"Bess, let's go home" I said to my friend who was also drunk. "I'll bess later, hmm, I'll go to the bathroom first, huh" he answered and started to walk. Hayst I really felt for his broken heart. My eyes were spinning. "why is that girl taking so long?" I was impatient to wait for her, maybe she left me. Even though I was dizzy, I tried to stand up and decided to look for her. Where did that girl go? I was just holding my head when I felt so dizzy. I leaned against the door without myself, wait, is this the comfort room? I was surprised when suddenly a man appeared in front of me but I couldn't really see his face because it's quite dark. "What are you doing here Ms.?" The sound of her voice was cold, so I was suddenly fixed, but suddenly I was out of balance, I was surprised by an arm wrapped around my waist. I was about to speak when he suddenly covered my lips. .I was about to struggle but he was holding me tightly. I don't know why but I couldn't control my body and just went along with his movements. "shit what happened?" I whispered softly noticing that this wasn't my room. I just pulled out of my head when I remembered what happened. You're G*ga Faye! I turned my gaze to the man by my side who had his back turned to me. I stood up quickly and looked for my clothes. After I got dressed, I immediately went out holding my cell phone. I had many missed calls. I ignored it and immediately hailed a taxi. when you're out "Faye! How many times can you have sex with someone you don't even know?" I tugged at my own hair....... I turned to my cell phone when it rang. Who could it be?. "hello?---" "you may start your work tomorrow, Ms. Sanchez" there was no emotional answer on the other line. wait....the voice seems familiar....hey maybe I just lacked rest so whatever--- "Ms. Sanchez are you still there or I will change----" "No sir, I'm going to work tomorrow morning." My smile finally reached my ears. I finally have a job. My smile disappeared because of this call. .. I looked at my phone when it rang with a message.

Hi, Im chenchen 17 years old simple girl but talented Transferee girl My first day in Luxwell university (private school) "She's ugly!" the students whispered when I entered the gate of Luxwell University "And the black yaks" added another while looking at me with a laugh All the students here were whispering but I just ignored it and continued walking to find my classroom 11 st. Augustine ABM I was in front of the classroom door and the teacher immediately saw me and knew that I was a transferee "Okay class, you have a new classmate" the teacher said to the students so they all looked at me "Pls come in" the teacher called so I entered with a nice smile to everyone I am a friendly person "Ugly!" said a man so everyone laughed You are handsome! "Quite class! Please introduce yourself ms." Ma'am said to me so I smiled before speaking "Hi everyone, im chenchen forteza happy to meet you all" I introduced myself but she kept whispering Bee! "You can take your seat Ms. Forteza, find a vacant seat" said ma'am and I looked for a seat and luckily there was an empty seat in the back so I sat down I was still quiet when a woman suddenly sat next to me, because the seat next to me was empty "Hello chenchen, Im kyla" he said smiling What does it need? Miraculously, he came to me "Oh hi?" I just said briefly "Come on, don't worry, I won't bite, I just want to be your friend" he said with a smile so I just nodded and we listened I found my first best friend in this school, she's Kyla Bernadette Sandoval, A talkative girl but pretty Oh dear! Even if I'm a transferee, I know if he's talkative, because it's obvious

“It doesn't even mean anything! He's just stupid for not realizing it.” I annoyingly said as I sipped on my soft drink. Karen, my friend, snapped her finger. "But aren't you worried? Look at the way they look at you!" She said. I then traveled my eyes all over the students here inside the canteen. They're all, mostly girls, glaring at me like I'm some kind of villain who's the thief for stealing their prince. I rolled my eyes and faced Karen again. "I don't care at all as long as they wouldn't hurt me physically." I said calmly. Karen didn't say another word again so I just focused my attention on finishing my snacks. Right after I finished my snacks, the bell rang. Karen and I stood up and went directly to our classroom. As Karen and I walked down the hallway, I still noticed, until now, the bad looks from the female students. I just said 'I don't care at all' even if they kill me using their eyes but as time passes, their glaring eyes make me uncomfortable. It bothered me until we finally arrived at our classroom. I went straight to my seat, near the back and near the window. Our adviser is the one who arranged us to where we should seat and our adviser wants the arrangement by seatmeat to be girl and boy, that's why Karen isn't my seatmeat. It was just okay with me anyway because my seatmeat is also one of my friends. "How long have you been?" Jerson immediately asked. He's one of the boys volleyball team. He has looks so he's popular here, and that's also the reason why most of the girl students hated me for being close with him. There are more people who are angry with me because of what I did yesterday. I'm playing truth or dare with my friends so when the bottle stopped in my direction, I chose dare. So they dared me to kiss the most popular at our school. I don't have a choice but to do the dare, because if I can't do it, my weekly allowance for buying channels and Guccis for them will surely be used up. And from the word 'Most Popular', of course none other than the one and only Ellandro felcemier Del Salve. From his manly features, masculine body, and for being a billionaire despite he's just a college student, this will really capture the hearts of women... Expect for me. He's a snobber and a cold talker so he's not my type. So I was able to steal it with a kiss. I think he won't mind the kiss anyway but his fan girls... Argh! It's just jokes! I'm the one who's really angry, if only they could do what I did? "We still talked." I answered after a long silence. My neighbor and I didn't talk anymore because our next subject professor had already arrived. I find the discussion so boring, so my mind flew with some thoughts. What I did yesterday is wrong. Stealing a kiss on billionaire's lips! Honestly I'm a bit embarrassed for what I did but I'm trying to stay calm. Maybe that wasn't his first kiss, after all he is a billionaire. I'm sure he isn't virgin anymore. So he won't mind that right? It was just a 3 second kiss anyway. After a few seconds of kissing, I also ran immediately so that maybe he didn't see my face either. But its fan girls can see me so I don't lose anything! It's guaranteed to spread and worst, maybe what I did reached the dean! It must be okay. I have a reason, I guess it was just a dare. But what if he got angry with what I did and he will put me in jail using his money? Or maybe it will punish me? He is still known as the most protected in their family. Even mosquitoes don't let him land, so how can I? His family and bodyguards maybe thought that I'm some kind of insect and they will hate me forever for stealing a kiss from him! What if they kill me after school? They will hear about what I did and the Del Salve family will be angry, so what if they plan to kill me? I hope not! I have not yet heard of anyone who knew the Del Salve family apart from him. Will he report? It seems that I still don't have a chance to apologize? Right! What I need to do is to just tell him my sorry for what I did! Maybe he will forgive me and my mind will be quiet! "Final decision! I'm sorry!” fvck! I think what I said came out of my brain! "Do you need to say something, Miss Vandeleur?" the teacher asked me because my neck immediately warmed up towards my two ears. I winced in shame. "N-Nothing, Ma'am!" I stammered. They looked at me curiously for a while but eventually their attention returned to the front and the teacher's discussion continued. My eyes darted to Karen's seat. She's laughing at me like I'm some kind of a joke. I glared at her and that made her sign a peace. I turned to the person next to me when I heard the taste of it. I noticed the violent closing of his mouth as if he was trying to hold back his laughter while staring ahead. "Is there something funny?" I asked sarcastically. He stared at nothing for a long time and when he calmed down a bit, he turned to me, with a serious look. I'm just tired. I know that face to well!! That just stops the laughter! "You must be

Linsey was stood up by her groom to run off with another woman. Furious, she grabbed a random stranger and declared, "Let's get married!" She had acted on impulse, realizing too late that her new husband was the notorious rascal, Collin. The public laughed at her, and even her runaway ex offered to reconcile. But Linsey scoffed at him. "My husband and I are very much in love!" Everyone thought she was delusional. Then Collin was revealed to be the richest man in the world.

"Ethan, this is unethical. It's criminal. She hasn't consented." Those chilling words, whispered in the sterile hum of an operating room, were the first thing I heard as consciousness flickered back. My heart pounded, cold dread snaking through my veins. Dr. Ben Carter, Ethan's old friend, was arguing with him. "She's my girlfriend, Ben. Practically my wife," Ethan scoffed, his voice laced with a terrifying casualness. "Chloe needs this kidney. Ava is a perfect match." Kidney. Chloe. My blood ran cold. The beautiful, fragile Chloe Vahn, who had always haunted our relationship, was now taking a piece of me, quite literally. I tried to scream, to move, but my body felt like lead, my throat raw. I felt a sharp tug, a searing line of fire on my side-the scalpel. Ten years of love, of sacrifice, building Ethan Reed and his company back from nothing, all for this. To be carved up like an animal for the woman he truly loved. When I finally regained full awareness, Ethan was by my bedside, a practiced look of concern on his face, spinning a lie about a ruptured ovarian cyst. But then, the overheard nurse's whispered conversation confirmed my nightmare: "Chloe's kidney transplant... he barely left her side." The pieces slammed into place. My despair solidified into a cold, hard resolve. No more. I grabbed my phone, scrolling to one contact I hadn't dared to call. Noah Hayes, Ethan's rival, a man of integrity. My finger trembled as I typed. "Noah," I managed, my voice raspy. "Are you still looking for a COO who knows Reed Innovate's strategies... and perhaps, a wife?" The silence stretched, then his voice, calm and serious, cut through the noise of my crumbling world. "My jet, seven days. LaGuardia."
