Elena's POV
Charlotte has disappeared without a trace, leaving a void that resonates unsettlingly in the lives of those who knew her. In a strange twist of fate, Kimi, who was once close to Charlotte, now finds herself in a state of confusion, unable to recall even the slightest detail about someone who was presumably significant in her life. It's as if a fog has clouded her memories, and this amnesia highlights the unsettling nature of Charlotte's absence.
For a brief moment, as I observed Kimi's blank expression, a pang of empathy washed over me. I couldn't help but feel an ache in my own heart—a visceral understanding of what it feels like to be abandoned by someone you deeply care for. The pain is all too familiar. But my focus quickly shifted back to the present reality: Charlotte is gone, and Kimi is standing here, eager, perhaps desperate, for connection.
Kimi approached me with an unexpected proposition, her eyes sparkling with infatuation. She seemed to believe that I am her first love, a sentiment that both flattered and intrigued me. It was a potent mixture of innocence and yearning, and I briefly toyed with the idea of reciprocating her affections, all while harboring my own ulterior motives.
Initially, I thought about seeking revenge on Charlotte for her father's actions, thinking about taking Kimi away from her as a means of retribution. However, I quickly realized that Kimi, oblivious to my intentions, would never recognize the game I was about to play. The thought brought a sinister smile to my face; I didn't need to see Charlotte's reaction—what mattered more was the thrill of manipulating Kimi's emotions and desires.
I decided to engage in this little escapade, eager to see where it would lead. My plan is to take things to a more intimate level in just two days, and to Kimi, this will all feel spontaneous and genuine. She remains blissfully unaware of the true nature of my intentions, and I find myself almost excited at the thought of revealing what I have in store for her. I'll be the illusion of love she thinks she's been missing, while secretly fueling my own ambitions.
