Ava's eyes locked onto Julian's, her gaze a tangled web of longing and loathing. The dimly lit alley, with its crumbling brick walls and rusty fire escapes, seemed to suffocate her. The air reeked of decay, mirroring the rot within their love.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1d4fVyG7d
"Your touch is poison," Ava whispered, her voice barely audible over the hum of the city.
Julian's smile twisted, his eyes gleaming with obsession. "You're mine, Ava. Forever mine." His fingers brushed against hers, sending shivers down her spine.
Their love had begun with passionate whispers, sweet nothings, and tender touches. But soon, the whispers turned to screams, the touches to bruises. Julian's grip tightened, his love morphing into possession.
Ava tried to escape, but Julian's shadow followed her everywhere. He'd appear in her favorite café, sitting in the corner, watching her. He'd text her incessantly, his messages dripping with malice.
One fateful night, Ava's fear boiled over. She stood tall, her eyes blazing. "I'll never be yours, Julian. Never again." Her voice echoed through the alley.
Julian's face contorted, his eyes flashing with rage. The sound of shattering glass echoed through the alley as he slammed his fist into the nearby window.
Ava's heart pounded as Julian's eyes locked onto hers. "You'll never leave me," he growled, his voice low and menacing.
In that moment, Ava knew she had to vanish.
With a surge of adrenaline, Ava pushed Julian away and sprinted down the alley. Her feet pounded the pavement as she weaved through the crowded streets.
Breathless, Ava stumbled into an old antique shop. The owner, an elderly woman with kind eyes, hid her in the back room.
As Ava caught her breath, she realized she'd left behind everything: her apartment, her job, her life.
But she'd gained something precious – freedom.
The city swallowed her whole, but Ava knew she'd never be free from the ghosts of their twisted romance.
Julian's whispered promise echoed in her mind: "I'll find you, Ava. I'll always find you."
Ava shivered, knowing their toxic love would haunt her forever.
