the front door handle jiggles. the back one, too. your apartment is small—too small for this. for two men who shouldn’t know each other to be reaching for you at once, calling you baby like it means something different on their tongues.
you back into the wall, calculating. the money. the gifts. the lies. the men. you’ve always kept it separate—clean, compartmentalized. eight lives. eight masks. never crossing. never slipping.
but something’s cracking.
“just open the door,” says one—closer now, coaxing. elijah? no—lucas? they blur together in the panic.
“i saw the light on,” the other murmurs through the rear entrance. “you home, sweetheart?”
you inch toward the hallway. your mind races through excuses, through escape plans. one of them is going to see the other. one of them is going to know.
the front door knocks again. harder. louder. not a request, now—a warning.
your phone lights up on the counter.
your name repeated like a prayer and a threat.
they’re closing in, and they still think they’re the only one. still think you belong only to them.
but if this is the night the truth comes out—
you might not get to leave.
your phone lights up again.
“i know you’re in there. don’t make me wait.”
you don’t recognize the number. but the tone is familiar. possessive. low. someone who thinks waiting is beneath him.
the front door handle clicks. the back one rattles. your apartment feels like it’s shrinking, the walls pressing in with every second.
you don’t even have time to figure out which one is standing where.
all you can think about is the second bedroom elijah wanted to fill. the silk robe nathan said you’d grow into. the prenatal vitamins matthew left like it was the most natural thing. the way kai stares too long at your stomach. how xavier whispers to it like there’s already something growing inside.
you never agreed to anything. never promised forever. you gave them smiles and touches, laughter and attention—and they gave you gifts. trips. jewelry. money. enough to live comfortably, to stay just out of reach.
but now they’re all reaching.
the back door knob jolts violently.
a voice, clearer this time:
“you’re not answering. why aren’t you answering me?”
your fingers dig into the edge of the counter. your heart is racing. this isn’t normal. this isn’t love.
a cage lined with velvet and diamond-studded handcuffs.
another message buzzes through.
they’re watching. maybe more than one. maybe all of them.
you inch toward your bathroom, silently lock the door behind you. your fingers fumble for the window. it’s too narrow to crawl out of, but you crack it anyway—for air. for escape. for the illusion of safety.
your phone vibrates again.
“we were supposed to be forever.”
“you lied to me.”
“i’m outside. don’t make me do something you’ll regret.”
you slide to the floor, curling against the tub, breath shaking in your chest.
you’ve played this game so well.
smiled through dinners. laughed at their jokes. let them believe they were the only one. and maybe, for a while, it was fun.
you’ve always known how to lie. how to perform.
but tonight, you’ll have to survive.
because one of them has found out.
and maybe—just maybe—they’ve told the others.
your knees press into cold tile.
somewhere outside, voices blur into one another—soft at first, like murmurs carried by wind, then louder. firm. insistent.
two voices. not yelling. not yet. but the fury simmers beneath every word, masked only by the fact that they think they’re alone with you.
they don’t know about each other.
and that window—the sliver you thought was escape—is now the perfect peephole. one of them paces by it, a familiar silhouette cloaked in tailored wool. you recognize the glint of his watch in the moonlight. lucas.
composed. deliberate. terrifying.
he’s not supposed to be here.
your phone buzzes again. and again. and again.
a dozen names. a dozen new messages.
where are you?
are you avoiding me?
i saw your lights on.
i’ll wait all night if i have to.
come outside, baby. please.
i miss you.
don’t make me come in.
a shiver rips down your spine.
you open your texts, hands trembling. a photo loads. grainy. zoomed in. taken from across the street.
it’s you. earlier today. unlocking your front door.
another one loads. this time, through your bedroom window. you’re changing. your back to the glass.
you slam your phone face down.
they’ve been watching. waiting. marking time.
and now, they’re slipping. losing patience. showing teeth behind velvet smiles.
a soft knock—again. back door.
“i brought dinner,” someone says. sweet. calm. too calm.
he always brings food. always watches you eat, like he’s studying your habits, waiting for signs. now, you wonder if he’s been dosing it.
you think of the vitamins. the tests. the new toothbrush that just appeared one morning in your bathroom—same brand as his. the silk sheets that mysteriously matched the ones in leo’s house. the second toothbrush. the tracking app you didn’t install.
your name echoes from the hallway.
not a question. a command.
they don’t know they’re all here. yet.
but if they find out—if they see each other—what happens next won’t be about love. or even possession.
you’re the trophy they’ve all convinced themselves belongs to them.
you inch toward the closet. pull back the false panel you had installed months ago—just in case. it’s small, meant for shoes. cash. secrets. but it might buy you time.
you crawl inside the space.
the sound of a door opening echoes through your apartment.
someone just let themselves in.
you press yourself into the farthest corner of the crawlspace, knees to chest, breath held so tight your lungs ache. the door creaks open—slowly. deliberately. like whoever entered doesn’t need to hurry.
your phone vibrates once more against your thigh.
footsteps now. one pair. deliberate. heavy. someone confident.
they already know where you are.
floorboards groan. the closet is close.
you clamp a hand over your mouth. heart jackhammering. one wrong move and they’ll hear you breathing.
no movement. no voice. just silence so thick it buzzes.
until another sound slices through it.
“they’re not answering you either, huh?”
“because their phone’s still here. and the lights are on.”
lucas. that calculating edge in his voice.
and elijah. smoother, but colder. too calm for someone this angry.
“who the fuck are you?” lucas asks, voice low, sharp.
“funny. i was about to ask you the same thing.”
“you’ve been watching them.”
“don’t play dumb—why are you here?”
“same reason as you. they belongs to me.”
something slams. hard. a chair? a table?
“you don’t even know them.”
“i know everything i need to. and i know you’re in my way.”
they’re circling each other. measuring. two wolves in the same cage.
“both of you need to shut the hell up.”
“they’re not a fucking toy you get to bicker over. they’re ours.”
the temperature in the apartment drops.
“ours?” lucas repeats, cold.
“you think they belongs to us?”
“no,” matthew says. “i know they do.”
another voice. softer. hesitant.
you bite down on your knuckles to keep from making a sound.
the walls are closing in.
“they’ve been lying to all of us,” lucas says, sharp and sure. “don’t you get that?”
“and yet you’re still here,” elijah snaps. “so are you really mad? or just jealous?”
“jealous?” matthew scoffs. “i’ve already planned our future.”
“hey,” kai says from the hallway. “is something wrong?”
you hear a breath hitch. kai.
“…wait. you’re all here?”
“no one invited you, kid,” elijah says, voice like steel.
“they didn’t invite any of us,” lucas snaps.
“they’ve been playing all of us,” someone whispers. maybe nathan. maybe damien. maybe someone new.
“you shut your mouth,” leo growls. sudden. vicious. “don’t talk about her like that.”
“because they’re still ours.”
“you really think they wants any of us?”
“they don’t need to want us,” damien finally speaks. “they need to understand.”
“that this ends tonight.”
you hear the footsteps draw closer. eight sets. slow. united.
no longer fighting each other.
and you’re the one they’ve chosen.
your phone lights up one more time.
you should’ve picked one of us.
but now we’ve picked you.
all of us.
you can hear them in your room now. feet shuffling. drawers opening. your closet door creaks.
you press yourself deeper into the hideaway, heart slamming against your ribs.
a hand brushes the panel from the other side.
gently.
you just stare as the panel starts to shift open—slow, deliberate.
but it’s not just one hand.
another one grips the edge from the other side.
different sets of fingers. different grips.
they’ve all found you. at once.
and for the first time all night, they’re not fighting each other.
they’re working together.
the last thing you hear—before the panel gives way completely—is a chorus of voices, soft and smiling, overlapping in perfect, practiced harmony:
darkness falls as the panel opens.
