More Than Reflection | Book 2 | NZ

Eren's voice thundered through the bar, "Fuck, you really thought I love you? Huh?!" The patrons' heads swiveled, eyes locking onto the spectacle. Ana stood beside him, her nude hijab and black abaya a striking contrast to her trembling form. Eren's smirk twisted his face as he set his glass on the bar shelf with a clink.

Ana's voice remained calm, but her words dripped with venom, "I thought you loved me, if not then why did you call me yours? I left my parents, my family, my siblings - everyone - just for you. Idiot of me to think EREN AARYAN would love me." Tears welled in her eyes, spilling down her cheeks like rain.

Eren's middle finger grazed Ana's chin, his touch sparking a wildfire of emotions. "Baby, it's just a game we do, and don't be this gentle. I don't pity anyone." Ana's hand jerked away, her eyes flashing with anger.

"Game?" she spat, a forced smile twisting her lips. "Love isn't a game, you will understand when you love someone with the same desperation as I did." With that, she turned and fled, her heels clicking against the floor like a ticking time bomb.

Ana's vision blurred as tears streamed down her face, her eyes fixed on the bathroom sign like a lifeline. She burst through the door, locking it behind her. "I thought I would run to you when the world hurts me, what will I do when you are the one who hurts me? If I could control myself, I would, but I couldn't. Even if I die, you're not allowed to come! This ego of yours is bigger than someone's life!" she whispered, her sobs echoing off the walls.

As she composed herself, Ana's gaze met her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes, red and puffy, stared back like a stranger's. "You made this condition for a man without heart, Ana?" she whispered, her voice cracking.

Meanwhile, Eren watched Ana exit the bar, his eyes narrowing as he pushed off the wall. He sprinted towards the parking lot, his car roaring to life as he pursued Ana's speeding vehicle. The chase was on, their cars weaving through traffic like predators stalking prey. As Eren's voice boomed through the air, "Let's compete!" Ana's confusion etched itself on her face like a puzzle she couldn't solve. Her eyes, still red from the tears she'd shed, narrowed in bewilderment, her mind racing to comprehend the sudden shift in Eren's demeanor.

His smirk grew wider, a devilish glint dancing in his eyes as he continued, "If you won, I will give you death, and as you claim to be in love with me, then for you, even death by my hands will be peaceful." The words dripped with a sinister sweetness, like honey laced with poison.

Ana's gaze remained fixed on Eren, her expression unchanging, as if she'd been turned to stone. His voice dropped to a low, husky tone, sending shivers down her spine, "But if I won, then you will sleep with me." The air seemed to vibrate with tension, the challenge hanging between them like a gauntlet thrown.

Ana, the enigmatic FALCON RACER, hid her true identity behind a veil of tears and heartache. Eren, oblivious to her secret, sneered at her with confidence, his reputation for being perfect at everything preceding him like a challenge.

As they sped through the streets, their cars danced on the edge of control, the container lurking in the shadows, its presence unnoticed by the two adversaries. Ana's hands waved in the air, signaling the start of the race, her Falcon Racer instincts taking the wheel.

Eren, fueled by his ego, accepted the challenge, his smirk twisting his face into a mask of superiority. The game was on, with Ana's pride and Eren's arrogance hanging in the balance. The container, a silent witness to their recklessness, continued its pursuit, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

In this high-stakes game of cat and mouse, only one could emerge victorious. But as the speedometer climbed and the engines roared, it became clear that this was more.

Sometimes loving someone is

same as Stabbing yourself
