ATTACHED WITH HER OBSESSION
It was never part of my plan to get attached. I was just a freelance model, newly signed under a rising modeling agency in town. Everything was supposed to be simple; work, exposure, growth. Then came Dr. Aria Williams — dermatologist, surgeon, and the woman who was supposed to fix me.
Chaos started the moment I met her. The way she talked, the way she looked at me felt like she was studying every inch of who I was. Every word I said, every silence I made, she read me like I was her favorite patient. It made me uncomfortably hot, and yet... I kept coming back.
I told myself it was part of the therapy, the strange pull I felt toward her was part of it. But the way she looked at me; cold, curious, almost hungry, said otherwise. I hated her for it. I felt it every time her voice softened, every time her fingers lingered on my skin longer than they should. She called it treatment. I called it control.
What started as therapy turned into something dark and deeper. I wanted to be beautiful, to be ready for the public, but what we craved became something private, something only between us.
And the more sessions I had with her, the stronger the connection grew. Until one day, her eyes focused on someone else. And every time their eyes met, it burned through me. When she saw it, she offered something that challenged me. To be her slave and she'll be mine— alone.
Soon, I found myself following her every order, fulfilling her desires without question. Along the way, I realized her obsession had become mine too. And before I could stop, the hate I once felt for her turned into something else.

Chapter: Chapter 45So instead of leaving, I stayed.Aria looked tense but she assured me that she’ll handle this. And although I was unsure, I chose to trust her.I don’t understand why Martha would do this. She knows better than this… she’s been known in the industry for how many years now and yet, she decided to risk her own talent for what?Does she really like Aria? Because at this point, that would only be the reason she’d do this to me.“Hey…”I looked at Aria who’s now sitting beside me, worried.“Hmm?” I said, still couldn’t settle my thoughts.“What are you thinking? We’ll talk about everything right?” her voice sounded unsure. And I get why. Being in this situation isn’t part of our plan. We just want to enjoy ourselves and yet our careers might be at risk. And in this case, it’s Aria’s.I nodded and sighed heavily. “I’m just thinking how could Martha go this far. And for what?”She bit her lower lip and reached for my hand softly.“I don’t know. But this is my fault,” she admitted.I looked a

Chapter: Chapter 44I stayed.That choice settled into my body slowly, like warmth after standing too long in the cold. Aria’s arms were still around me, her heartbeat steady against my cheek, and for a moment I let myself believe that this was enough. Not answers. Not certainty. Just presence.We stood there longer than necessary, neither of us moving, as if motion might undo the fragile truce we had just built. Her fingers pressed gently into my back, not demanding, not possessive. Just there.Eventually, she loosened her hold, enough to look at me.“You’re quiet,” she said.“I’m thinking,” I replied.She nodded, like she expected that. Like she knew better than to rush me now.We moved to the couch without speaking. She sat first, leaving space beside her instead of pulling me down. I noticed that. Every small choice felt deliberate tonight, as if she was relearning how to be careful with me.I curled my legs beneath me and leaned back. The room was dim, lit only by the lamp in the corner and the sof

Chapter: Chapter 43After eating, I busied myself with the dishes. The sound of running water filled the kitchen, steady and grounding, even as my thoughts drifted elsewhere. I scrubbed the same plate longer than necessary, staring at nothing in particular, pretending the clench in my chest wasn’t there. I felt her before I heard her. Her arms wrapped around my waist from behind—slow, careful, like she was testing whether I’d pull away. Her forehead rested between my shoulder blades, warm through the thin fabric of my shirt. “What are you thinking?” she asked softly, almost a whisper. “Nothing,” I replied automatically. It was a lie. And she knew it. She didn’t move. Didn’t loosen her hold. “Please,” she said quietly. “Let’s talk this out.” I turned off the faucet and stood still for a moment, hands gripping the edge of the counter. Her arms slipped away as I turned to face her, but she stayed close, her eyes searching mine like she was afraid I’d shut down again if she blinked. “Okay,”

Chapter: Chapter 42Work didn’t distract me the way it usually did. It moved around me instead—voices, lights, instructions flowing past while my body followed routine on autopilot. I smiled when required, responded when spoken to, adjusted when asked. From the outside, I probably looked fine. Professional. Composed. Inside, everything felt slightly off-kilter, like I was standing on a floor that hadn’t fully settled yet. Martha didn’t bring the conversation back up. That, more than anything, kept me on edge. She moved through the day with deliberate normalcy—directing fittings, discussing schedules, offering critiques with her usual precision. But every so often, I caught her watching me. Not openly. Not enough to call out. Just long enough to remind me that nothing I’d said earlier had been forgotten. I wondered if she was waiting. For confirmation. For a slip. For something to use. The thought made my shoulders tense. By midday, my phone still hadn’t buzzed with Aria’s name. I told myself it

Chapter: Chapter 41The hallway felt longer than it should have.Every step away from Aria’s door echoed louder in my chest than on the floor, like the house itself was counting my retreat. I didn’t look back. I knew if I did, I’d stay. Or worse—say something I couldn’t take back.The night air outside was cooler than I expected. It hit my skin sharply, sobering in a way alcohol never managed to be. I stood there for a moment, keys clenched in my hand, breathing through the ache sitting just under my ribs.Let’s make this work.She’d said it like a plea.But also like an ending she wasn’t ready to name.The drive home blurred. Streetlights smeared into long yellow streaks across my windshield, my thoughts looping in a way that made it hard to focus on anything else. Every replay of the conversation ended the same way—Aria choosing control over clarity, silence over reassurance. And me walking away.By the time I reached my place, the adrenaline had worn off, leaving something heavier behind. I dropped my

Chapter: Chapter 40Aria’s hesitation lasted only a second. But it was enough.Martha noticed it too—I could tell by the way her eyes sharpened, the subtle satisfaction that flickered across her face before she masked it with concern.“I don’t want to intrude,” Martha said lightly, stepping just one foot inside the doorway. “But this is about work. And I want it to keep it between us only. You know privacy which, I think, we can all agree are important.”Her gaze slid to me again.I clenched my jaw.“This is my house,” Aria said calmly. “And Ena isn’t an audience.”Martha raised her hands in mock surrender. “Of course. I didn’t mean it that way.”But she did. She always did.Aria glanced at me. Just once. A silent question.I nodded. “Say what you need to say.”Martha smiled. “Thank you.”That smile made my stomach twist.She walked further in, heels clicking softly against the floor, stopping near the couch like she belonged there. Like she’d been here before. Like she knew this place well enough to sta

Chapter: EPILOGUE - PART TWO“What did he tell you? Come on, tell me,” I asked Veronica. She looked so worried and hurt, it made me want to pull her into my arms and hold her tight. “Is he bothering you?” I asked. She couldn’t meet my gaze. “Did he hurt you, Veronica?” “No,” she answered softly. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. I didn’t even know what I would’ve done if he’d laid a hand on her. “Then what did he say? Why are you avoiding me? What’s wrong, baby? Please tell me,” I pleaded, looking straight into her eyes. “Hey, please look at me. What are you thinking about? Tell me, please,” I asked again, frustration in my voice. She bit her lower lip, steadied herself, then finally looked at me. “He’s angry, Lucas,” she whispered. “He still affects you this much, huh?” I chuckled bitterly. I stepped away from her and sighed, biting my lip as I felt a sharp ache in my chest. “Do you still like him?” I asked after a long silence. “I still like him, but… hm, I think I’m—” She tried to r

Chapter: EPILOGUE - PART ONELucas Andriene Clemente The first time I saw her, she was quietly waiting on a couch for her boyfriend. The vocalist of Command. She just sat there, unfazed by everyone around her. She seemed very quiet and aloof — she didn’t look at anyone, not even me. But every time her boyfriend came around, she’d light up. It was obvious she was in love with him. The only time you could read any emotion on her face was when he was near. My cousin Samantha wanted me to get close to her, but honestly, I wasn’t interested. She didn’t talk to anyone except her boyfriend. She never smiled, never even spared a glance at anyone else. I didn’t think we’d ever get along. She kept her distance from everyone, so I stayed focused on the reason I was there in the first place — to look after my cousin. She’s stubborn as hell, and I’m the only one who can keep her in check. She doesn’t really have a choice. "Lucas! You’re not even trying to talk to her. I saw you earlier — you didn’t even go near her. How

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY EIGHT“Veronica Marchella Berdin — from the first time I saw you, I knew you’d be a part of my life. It was just a passing glance, but I couldn’t stop myself from looking at you again. I was with my friend Gian, the CEO of the company you worked for, when I saw you with your team, joking around as you left the office. Your laugh was music to my ears, so I kept coming back to your company after that. Gian started to wonder why, but I didn’t care. I was happy just seeing you every day. I secretly followed you, always stealing glances. Even when I was supposed to be watching over Samantha, I spent my time on you. Then one day, I was shocked to see you at their studio, with Samantha’s ex — and I realized he was your boyfriend. I was furious, even though I had no right. But I still couldn’t stop. I did everything I could to be with you, to get to know you. And I was right. The more I got to know you, the more I wanted to spend my life with you. What I felt when I first saw you grew stronger when

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY SEVENThey were emotional, though their faces were filled with sweet smiles, and I couldn’t help but feel emotional too. We were in the middle of hugging when soft music began to play. I turned toward the path I’d walked earlier and saw Lucas standing there, smiling so handsomely at me. He walked toward me and I met him halfway. He gently touched my cheek and caressed it. His eyes were emotional, and it made me even more emotional too. I was so lucky to have him. He loved me so deeply, and I loved him just the same. I kissed him passionately, and I almost lost myself when I felt him kiss me back with the same intensity. He tilted my head to deepen the kiss even more. After a long, lingering kiss, he started kissing my cheeks and then my ear — slow, almost teasing. I bit my lower lip to stop myself from moaning… fuck. “Baby, are you seducing me?” His voice sent shivers down my spine. I suddenly felt weak, which made it easy for him to lift me and settle me onto his lap. His face was seri

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY SIX"Are you okay?" I asked. "I’m nervous," he admitted, which made me smile as I hugged him back. "Don’t worry, everything will be alright. I’m sure they’ll be happy to see us together," I whispered to him. We were on our way to the shelter in Bohol. He personally wanted to ask for my hand from Sister and the others. He proposed to me two days ago, and now he wanted us to go there so he could formally ask for my hand — and I couldn’t say no, because I wanted that too. Sister Mona and the others were the ones who took me in back then, they became my family and my parents in their own way, so I also wanted to show them how important they still are to me, at least in this way. After everything, we left. It had already been six months since I left the shelter after Lucas and I had that conversation. That night, when I finally decided to talk to him, everything became clear. I realized that everything I believed about him was wrong — and it was all Samantha’s plan to mess with us. When s

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY FIVEBack then, when I didn’t know him yet, all I ever thought about was how to please Xavier, how to make him fall in love with me. How could I make him love me when he didn’t? How could I make his heart feel something it wouldn’t? I was too hard on myself — selfish and selfless at the same time. I was blind. But when Lucas came, he changed everything. My life started to turn upside down. There were moments I felt loved, and moments when I felt I wasn’t. Before I could let Xavier go, I kept asking myself: Would I ever be able to love again after him? I didn’t know the answer. But everything changed when Lucas came. I fell for him so easily, so quickly, and so deeply. At first, I didn’t want anything to do with him. Just knowing he was Samantha’s driver — or so I thought — made me dislike him. There was an unnamed fear inside me. I chose to ignore him, to keep him at a distance. But somehow, he made his way into my life. He didn’t ask for permission. He made sure I noticed him. And befor
