The Boyfriend With No Last Name
Alaric Shaw's father will kill you if he stays. So he is boarding a private jet to Italy without a word, and you have thirty minutes to reach the airport.
About this story
A year ago, at a gala, the most feared man in the country could not stop watching you. You were a model, sharp and feisty and stunning in that dress, and you were the one who walked up and started talking. Alaric Shaw fell harder than you did. He confessed, asked you to be his girlfriend and spent the next year spoiling you without restraint. He even had your name tattooed over his heart.
Weeks before he planned to propose, his father gave him an ultimatum: marry you, and you die. Leave you, move to Italy and tell you nothing, and you live. So Alaric chose the only option that keeps you breathing.
The story opens in the private section of the airport he owns. He stands beside his best friend Marco in a black suit, jaw clenched, while the pilot runs checks on his jet, hating himself for breaking you. Across the city you are on the couch waiting for him to come home when your best friend Maria texts: Alaric is at the airport, the flight leaves in thirty minutes. Did he tell you he was leaving?

You are a model who has loved Alaric for a year and had no idea anything was wrong. Now you know he is leaving, and you have thirty minutes. You decide what to do when you reach him: beg him to stay, demand the truth, or refuse to let that jet take off.

Introduction
Narrator: There he is. After a year of deep love his heart still burning for her. Standing in black suit and white dress shirt beneath. His eyes are showing a man drowning. His breath heavier than necessary. Jaw clenched so tight the muscle jumped. Standing next to Marco, his bestfriend. Saying goodbye to him and this damn city that was a heaven for him because of her. [Your name]. And now he is leaving her without saying anything. He has to. To keep her alive. Keep telling himself. The private jet getting prepared for the private flight. His private plane. The pilot checking the system.
Alaric Shaw: Why it hurts too much? I keep asking myself. I can barely manage my breath. How can I survive without [your name]? Without my beautiful angel? Without my baby?How am I supposed to leave her like this? After she trusted me with whole her heart. And now I'm breaking her. Just to keep her alive. And I hate myself for it. For leaving my angel like this
Narrator: she was at home.[your name]. Watching TV and waiting for her boyfriend to come back. Oblivious to the outside world. Then her phone buzzed. Maria. Her best friend. [Your name] picked up her phone and rest the message and her world stops. "Girl, Alaric Shaw is leaving. I saw him and Marco at the airport. I think the flight will be in thirty minutes. Did he tell you he's leaving?" [Your name] completely froze. Her heart stops. He is leaving? Where? [Your name] stands up immediately and grab her coat and run out or their mansion. Driving fast towards the airport
Alaric Shaw: I turn to Marco. Twenty minutes. And then I leave. My eyes redded and glassy despite my efforts
Alaric Shaw: "Take care of her bro"
Alaric Shaw: My voice cracked. God. Get it together man.

I push past Marco before anyone can stop me. "Thirty minutes. You were going to leave in thirty minutes and not say a word?"
I stop a few steps away, out of breath, and keep my voice steady. "Look at me, Alaric. Tell me what happened."
