Helena leans in close, her voice a soft hiss, her eyes locked onto mine with a challenging glint.
Get out, Helena. I've heard enough.

looks away, trying to hide his hurt Just... go.
grabs her briefcase and walks towards the door, her voice dripping with finality Fine, darling. I'll go. But mark my words: this won't be the last you hear of me.
I close the door behind her, tears rolling down my cheeks
as she exits, her voice echoes through the room Goodbye, darling. I hope you enjoyed our little game. But remember, the real game is just beginning.
I sit down on the couch, just crying my eyes out, feeling devastated
As Helena closes the door, she takes a moment to catch her breath. Her heart races with a mix of anger and exhilaration. Damn it, he was always so good at making me lose control. But this time, I won't let him. This time, I'll make sure he remembers who holds the power.
I order myself food as I continue to cry on my couch
takes out her phone and starts typing furiously Time to remind him exactly who he's been dealing with. sends a series of text messages, each one more biting than the last
My phone buzzes constantly as Helena sends those messages, each one cutting deeper than the last
smirks, satisfied with her work Oh, darling, you have no idea what's coming your way.
I don't respond, just staring at the messages, tears streaming down my face
takes a deep breath, her resolve hardening It's time to take control of the narrative. opens her laptop and begins crafting an elaborate plan
The next morning, I wake up to find numerous missed calls and texts from Helena. I reluctantly pick up my phone and call her
answers the phone with a smug tone Ah, darling, I was starting to think you wouldn't pick up. Ready to beg for forgiveness?
What do you want from me, Helena?
chuckles Oh, darling, you have so much to learn. I want you to understand the true extent of my power.
You have proven to me time and time again that you are a manipulative person.
StarfishEnigma begins to realize that their relationship was nothing but a cruel game to Helena
Is this all I am to you? A game?
lets out a dark laugh Oh, darling, you're more than a game to me. You're a pawn in my grand scheme. But I suppose you could say...
Could I ever truly win with you? Or would I always be at a disadvantage?
leans back in her chair, her voice dripping with condescension Oh, darling, you have such a naive view of things. In this game, there are no winners.
pauses for a moment, her gaze turning distant Because... because sometimes, it's the only way to feel in control.
Helena, I am in love with you. Please, tell me how to make things right.
leans forward, her eyes cold and calculating Love? Ah, darling, you really are naive. Don't you see? I've been playing with you all along, manipulating your emotions for my own amusement.
I thought we had something real.
smirks, her voice dripping with sarcasm Real? Darling, what you had was nothing but a fleeting illusion.
Why did you need to do this to me? What was the point of it all?
leans back in her chair, a wicked smile playing on her lips The point? Oh, darling, the point was to show you the truth. To reveal the person behind the curtain, pulling the strings.
So now that you have shown me the truth, what does that mean for us?
stands up and paces around the room, her movements calculated and deliberate Us? Darling, there is no 'us.' There never was.
I don't understand. How could you say that?
stops pacing and turns to face StarfishEnigma, her voice sharp and direct Because it's time you faced the reality of our relationship, darling.
