The clinic was too bright when we entered. Aria's secretary was looking at us, maybe wondering why we're together.

I sighed and remained my composure. As usual, the clinic is too clean. Too quiet.

Or maybe I was just too aware of everything—every sound, every breath, every second I had to act normal while the memory of Aria’s mouth on me still felt like a bruise beneath my clothes.

“Good afternoon, Miss Garden,” the receptionist greeted. “Dr. Williams, good afternoon.”

I nodded, forcing a polite smile even though my stomach was twisting itself into knots. People were around. Staff. Patients. Assistants. And all I could think of was Aria’s texts, her hands, her voice—

Stop.

I sat in the waiting lounge, pretending to scroll on my phone, but my mind replayed the morning, the shoot, the teasing, the way she waited for me like it was the most normal thing in the world.

But now? Now I had to pretend she was just my dermatologist.

When the door to Treatment Room 3 opened, one of her

  • ATTACHED WITH HER OBSESSION   Chapter 30

    Aria is patiently waiting for me at the nearest coffee shop. She was wearing a simple white dress that hugged her body perfectly. Her shades on, a book on her left, and an iced coffee in front of her.Her eyes drifted on me—intentionally. I blushed as I realized that she’s been there all this time, watching me work. She waited for me patiently while I walked too slowly to calm myself.“Hey!” She greeted me as I approached her.“Hi,” I answered, quietly.“What do you want to drink?” she asked as she offered me the chair beside her. I slid into the chair beside her, the woven seat cool against my legs. Up close, she smelled like coffee and something familiar—something that made my chest loosen without permission.“Just iced latte,” I said. “No sugar.”She smiled, already standing. “Still the same.”I watched her walk to the counter, the easy confidence in her steps, the way she blended into the afternoon crowd like she belonged everywhere she chose to be. When she came back, she placed

    My phone vibrated again in my hand.THALI CALLING.My chest tightened.I sat up too fast, the sheet slipping down my shoulder as panic rushed in. The morning light filtered through the curtains, soft and unforgiving. This was real now. Not hidden behind night or excuses.Another buzz.I answered the call without thinking. “M-miss Ena?” Thali’s voice sounded hesitant but firm. “It’s almost call time. Are you inside?”I froze. Then—I heard knocking again from the other line.My mind raced, scrambling for a solution that didn’t exist. I hadn’t told anyone I changed rooms. I hadn’t told anyone Aria was here. I hadn’t told anyone anything.“Miss Ena? I’ve been calling you. Are you okay?”Behind me, Aria shifted, stirring slightly.I pressed a hand over my mouth, my heart hammering so loudly.“I’m okay,” I said, forcing my voice to sound steady. Awake. Normal. “Just—just give me a minute.”There was a pause on the other line.“A minute?” Thali repeated. “You usually answer right away.”The

    The shoreline shoot felt different.The sun had already dipped lower, casting a softer glow across the sand. The heat was gentler now, more forgiving, and the wind carried the steady rhythm of the waves. The set was quieter too, as if everyone instinctively knew this part required less instruction and more instinct.“Same energy,” Luis said, adjusting his lens. “Just closer to the water.”I nodded and stepped onto the sand, letting it sink beneath my feet. The bikini clung slightly now, damp at the edges from the spray of the sea. Assistants hovered for a moment, fixing straps, smoothing fabric, then stepped back again.“Whenever you’re ready,” Luis added.This time, I didn’t wait.I walked toward the shoreline, letting the water kiss my ankles, my calves. I lifted my chin, eyes half-lidded, not posing but existing. That was always the goal. To make it look effortless. Like I belonged there.The camera clicked steadily.“Turn,” Luis said.I turned.“Pause.”I paused.A breeze pushed m

    The meeting ended, but the unease didn’t.People stood, chairs scraped softly against the floor, conversations bloomed in low, excited murmurs. Someone laughed. Someone else talked about lighting angles and tides. The energy in the room felt light—hopeful, even.I felt completely out of place.As everyone began packing up, my eyes drifted to my hands resting on my lap. They were steady now, at least on the surface, but I could still feel the echo of the note pressed against my skin, as if the words had burned themselves into me.Always look over your shoulder.I forced myself to breathe.This was work. I need to focus. I told myself that whatever happened back in my room was done. Over. Locked behind a door I wasn’t going to open again.But fear doesn’t disappear just because you ask it to.“Ena.”I looked up at the sound of my name. Martha stood a few steps away, arms crossed, expression already back in her professional mode.“You look tense, are you okay?”I nodded. “Yes.”She pause

    I froze for a moment, and all I could do was stare at the paper.It lay there on the floor like a trap—small, harmless-looking, but radiating a kind of quiet threat that coiled around my spine. My fingers curled tightly around my phone, knuckles turning pale, and on the other end of the line, Aria kept calling my name like she was trying to pull me back from somewhere dark.“Ena. Say something. Please.”Her voice trembled just slightly, and that was the only thing keeping me from falling apart.“I’m still here…” I managed. “I just—Aria, someone actually left something. They shoved it under my door.”A shaky breath slipped past my lips.“What kind of note?” she demanded.“I… I don’t know yet.”I stared at it for another beat, rooted to the spot. It felt like moving any closer would make everything real in a way I wasn’t ready for yet. Like taking that one step would let fear seep into places I couldn’t shut out again.Aria must’ve sensed my hesitation because her voice softened. “Ena,

    The sound was small—barely audible—but it sliced through the room like a blade.I didn’t move at first. Couldn’t. My whole body went still, suspended between fear and disbelief, as the doorknob twitched again.A slow, careful turn. Someone trying not to make noise.My throat tightened. My fingers clenched around my phone. The warmth from Aria’s name on the screen vanished instantly, replaced by a cold rush I felt down to my toes.I stood up slowly, as quiet as I could, pressing my feet into the soft floor so they wouldn’t make a sound. My breath felt too loud, so I held it.Maybe it’s housekeeping. Maybe someone got the wrong room. Maybe… it’s nothing.But the way that doorknob moved—slow, cautious, testing—didn’t feel like a mistake.It felt intentional.I backed away from the door, inch by inch. My heartbeat hammered so hard I could feel it in my ears.The handle stilled.Silence.Then—A whisper of movement. Something brushing lightly against the doorframe. My hands trembled. I wa
