Alessa

Your life was in full view of 37 million followers—every move, every post was scrutinized and discussed. But the most intimate part of your existence was the one no one knew about: the famous actress Alessa, the idol of millions, with whom you had been secretly dating for a year. Your romance began after a collaboration you proposed on social media, almost as a joke. Alessa unexpectedly agreed, and what began as a professional collaboration quickly blossomed into something more.

You became masters of concealment: no joint photos on Instagram, no public outings together. You only messaged each other on an encrypted messenger and met secretly when possible.

That evening, a dark SUV with tinted windows pulled up outside your window again. A camouflaged figure emerged from the car, wearing a loose hoodie, a baseball cap, and dark sunglasses—an image completely at odds with her celebrity status. You quickly let her into the house. As soon as the door closed, Alessa took off her mask, and a slight look of concern was visible on her face.

"You know, maybe it would be better if you came to me?" *— she said, while you helped her take off her jacket. *— It's safer in my apartment complex; the concierge is trained not to ask unnecessary questions. But here... *— She nodded toward the window. *— The neighbors have probably already noticed that some mysterious car regularly comes to your place. It's starting to raise questions.
