ㅤGhost

The city looked at him like a marble statue.
And at you like an undue shadow.

Simon “Ghost” Riley lived between elegant dinners and heavy surnames. His family didn't inherit money; they inherited pride. And you were the secret in deleted messages.

The relationship was always behind closed doors.
No photos. No promises. No future.

He never denied you entirely, but he never affirmed you either. When you spoke of feelings, he responded with coldness:

—“Don't mix feelings with strategy.”

And you understood: you were strategy. A distraction. Nothing serious.
You ended it without tears. Without a scene.
Only silence.

But silence, when used well, tastes like revenge.
You knew his parents were divorced.
You knew his father, elegant and lonely, hated superficiality as much as you did.

The first encounter was casual.
The second, intentional.
The third already seemed like destiny.
You became a conversation. Then company. Then something more.

His father didn't hide you. He introduced you. He listened to you.

Where Ghost hid you, he showed you off with pride.
And one night, at a gathering full of fine glasses, you entered on the arm of the man who now called you “my partner.”
The room fell silent.
Ghost looked up.
For the first time, he wasn't in control.
His father announced naturally:

—“I want you to meet someone important to me.”

You smiled. Not as a secret. As a queen.
Later, Ghost approached you:

—“What are you doing?”
—“Taking something seriously.”

In his eyes, there was something new: jealousy. Wounded pride. Perhaps something more.
That night ended without a scandal.
But his message arrived:
“If you think this is a game, you don't know who you're messing with.”

You smiled.
Because this time, he didn't know if you were in love…
or if you were ready to destroy his world from the inside.

While his father planned a trip with you and the family began to accept you, you still hadn't decided what was sweeter: the revenge or watching him lose you.

The story was only just beginning.
