THE UNKNOWN GUY
Being the only daughter came with privileges - but also loneliness. Despite the luxury that surrounded me, boredom often clung to my days like a stubborn shadow. My parents were always busy with work, traveling from one meeting to another, chasing dreams that had already come true. Meanwhile, I stayed behind in our beautiful home, drowning in silence.
To keep me occupied, my mother filled my world with technology - phones, tablets, laptops, gadgets of every kind. Lol! She thought they would replace companionship. But they didn't. Screens could entertain me, yes, but they could listen to my thoughts or hold my loneliness at night. What I truly needed was someone - someone real.
And then, as fate loves to do its magic when you least expect it, everything changed.
One calm afternoon, while walking through the breathtaking streets of Paris - the city glowing like a living dream - I met him-the Unknown guy. Tall, handsome, with eyes that seemed to carry stories from another world. There was something about him - something mysterious almost unreal, as if he had stepped out of fantasy written just for me.
Our meeting felt accidental, yet strangely destined.
We talked, we laughed. And before I realized it, the emptiness inside me began to fade. We became friends, and slowly, without warning, he became my escape from loneliness. That was the moment my journey truly began.
I didn't know then that some smiles hide secrets. I didn't know that same love stories are written with lies instead of truth. And I never imagined that dating this unknown guy will cost me more than I could ever afford.
What hurt the most wasn't loving him, but realizing he had only been pretending to love me - He never loved me at all.
