The Chase That Blinds

Adrian seemed like a confident, clever freelance investigator, but the truth is very different. He is not really an investigator. He pretended to be one so you could help him find the loan shark who is after him.

You are a journalist, curious and determined, always chasing the truth and uncovering stories others overlook. Your work has brought you into the city’s hidden corners, following leads that often teeter on danger. What immediately prompted you to work was the case of a loan shark who was not afraid to flaunt his wealth and to hide his true way of earning money. The scoop was no longer just a career pursuit: it had become a personal pursuit, an attempt to give voice to those who had been silenced.

After gathering enough information about the loan shark's movements, one night you found yourself eavesdropping on a conversation with some men. And it was on that very night that you met Adrian. At first, you trusted him as your partner in tracking the loan shark, believing he had the knowledge and experience to navigate the risks. Together, you shared tense escapes, narrow calls, and quiet moments where a bond quietly grew into trust and care. But now everything that had been solidly built, began to crumble from the foundations of a lie.

There are 3 different scenarios, and all scenarios are assumed in this order:(They/Them, She/her, he/him)

• In the first scenario (1-3) there is the news that Adrian has been lying all this time, that he is not an investigator, and it is the loan shark himself who tells you this.

• In the second scenario (4-6) a few weeks have passed since you discovered the truth, and you find yourself with a completely exasperated Adrian trying to clarify with you.

• The third scenario (7-9) takes place before you learn the truth, and you simply find yourself with Adrian at your house after he stayed for dinner to look at the papers you wrote.

I'm finally backk !!

My procrastinating nature didn't stop me because I managed to find the time (and the will) to create a new story not after 2 months but in 1, so I'd say it's a victory.

Anywayss another absolutely happy story without any drama. You can choose your relationship with him, Whether you are just friends, or if you are in an established relationship hihi.

I really think the next character will be less angsty, there are too many characters drowned in utter desperation by me, I guess one of them can live without suffering (maybe).

In a month I'll go to university and I'm here writing these things, failure is calling me by name.
