Their heated kiss finally broke apart, leaving only a sliver of space between them.
Yet, Richard’s warm breath lingered on the sensitive skin behind Wanda‘ s ear.
“That kiss…” His lips curled into a faint smile. “It was my first one.”
His dark eyes sparkled with a brilliance that
rivaled the stars outside.
Outside, the blaring honks of passing cars broke the stillness of the night, but nothing could disrupt the electric tension within the
car.
“Why don’t you … come over to my

place?” As soon as she said them, regret and nervousness gripped her. However, there was no turning back now.
Richard did not even have the patience to turn on the light. The moment, the door opened, he pushed her to the wall and claimed her as much as he could.
His kisses were wild and consuming, leaving her breathless and lightheaded.
Just as they were on the brink completely, Richard paused abruptly.
“I don’t have … anything. Should I run out and get some?” he asked.
The question snapped Wanda back to reality. “Go now, the faster you go, the faster you
return.”

Richard quickly dressed and grabbed his wallet then headed to the nearest
convenience store.
He had barely stepped out of the elevator when he spotted Eric standing at the building’s entrance and his eyes were bloodshot. He tried to walk past him but Eric
blocked his path.
“What do you want?” Richard’s brow furrowed as a dark glint flickered in his gaze.
Hours of waiting in the cold had only deepened his torment. The image of Wanda smiling so radiantly at another man had shattered the last fragments of hope in his heart.
He couldn’t bear the thought of her warmth,

her kisses, now belonging to someone else. The jealousy and despair overwhelmed him, leaving him barely able to think straight.
In that half hour when the two disappeared from sight, Eric was even able to imagine
what it would be like to be kissed with crimson lips.
Sure enough, the knife only hurts when it falls on oneself. It was no wonder, Wanda wouldn’t forgive him for cheating.
Seeing that he took too long to answer, Richard impatiently said, “Is there something wrong?”
Eric stood under the shadow and laughed out loud. “Do you know how much she used to love me? She gave me all her firsts. You‘ re

just a thief taking advantage of the
situation!”
Richard already knew about this, but did it
matter?
He looked at Eric’s brace and sneered, “If you want, I can cripple your other leg.”
Without waiting for a response, Richard brushed past him and strode toward the
convenience store.
When he returned, Eric’s was still parked outside. Richard did not care. If that man
wanted to freeze in the cold, that was his
business.
Back in the apartment, Wanda had already changed into her pajamas and was drying her hair. When she saw the items in Richard’s

hand, she couldn’t help but tease him.
“You’re too late,” she said with a playful smirk. “The offer‘ s expired.”
Richard didn’t look disappointed. Instead, he placed the items on the nightstand and leaned in to kiss her softly on the lips.
“In that case, we’ll just take our time,” he murmured, his voice filled with promise.
However, with the way they felt about each other, how could they possibly share a bed and do nothing?
That night, the moonlight streamed in through the window, painting the room in
silvery hues, but Richard did not have time to
admire it.

Not long after, Wanda and Richard officially
began dating.
Three months into their relationship, she
received a call from an unknown
international number.
The silence on the other end of the line was unsettling, but she had a strong intuition about who it was.
“Do you need something?” she asked coldly,
devoid of emotion.
The caller didn’t respond and eventually, the
line went dead.
Wanda stared at the phone for a moment before setting it aside. She didn’t need to ask to confirm. She already knew it had been
Eric.
