BedRoom [Tale of Desire]

Laxu873
The story begins with Alex, our main character, and his family—his father John, a dedicated Navy officer; his stepmother Monica; and his younger sister. As John prepares to return to his naval duty, the family accompanies him to the airport to say goodbye. Life moves on normally for a year—until one day, a tragic message arrives. John has been severely injured in an attack and is now unable to walk. The family rushes to the hospital, where they find him confined to a wheelchair. The doctors advise that he will need to remain hospitalized for two more weeks before he can be discharged. While this devastating news shakes the family, Monica reacts differently—she doesn’t seem particularly affected. Soon after, Monica informs Alex that she will be moving into his room, claiming John needs space and peace during his recovery. What starts as an awkward arrangement gradually evolves into something unexpected—Monica and Alex grow closer, and a secret, forbidden relationship begins to blossom. Even after John returns home, their hidden affair continues. However, John becomes increasingly suspicious and calls Monica’s sister—Alex’s aunt—for help in uncovering the truth. One day, during a secret shopping date, Monica and Alex are caught in a compromising situation by the aunt. After a tense confrontation and unexpected confessions, the story takes another turn—Monica’s sister admits her own feelings for Alex. What began as a dangerous secret between two becomes a tangled web involving three.

The Next General

"Have you heard of him?" A small boy tugged at a woman's skirt, his tiny finger pointing at the large portrait of a man clad in a minister’s robe. "Shhh! Don’t say its name!" The woman hushed him, glancing around anxiously. She knew the boy was only curious about the drawing, yet the inscription beside it spoke of someone else entirely. Still, the credit had been given to the man in the portrait. "Why?" "We just... don’t say it." "Are you talking about The Next General?" A man dressed as a scholar interjected, inserting himself into the conversation. "Everyone is talking about it. After a hundred years, it has returned. I can't decide whether that fills me with hope or dread." His words were meant to impress, to showcase his knowledge, but the woman only tightened her grip on the boy, scooped him up, and hurried away like a hunted animal sensing danger. The scholar let out a single sharp laugh. "A chaotic rhythm… and marvellously extraordinary times are upon us," he murmured, before turning and walking away. --- Disclaimer This is a work of fiction.
