Killian pulled the shirt over his head and stepped toward the mirror. Tossing the fabric aside, his eyes darkened intensely the moment they locked onto his own reflection. His muscles flexed.

Killian brushed the silky lock of hair with his long slender fingers. His calm gaze shifted to the chain around his neck resting on his collarbone.

Hanging from it, was a tiny skull-shaped locket, black and polished with diamond. Inside, dark red blood shimmered faintly like sinister—the same blood from the shard that had accidentally cut her palm.

The skull was made of that broken shard.

He had preserved her blood for this, refusing to let it go to waste. He’d specially ordered it and received it just this morning.

The weight of the locket around his neck stirred a dark emotion Killian struggled to put into words.

Her blood. Her essence. She. Her soul.

Everything bound to him by that tiny relic. Entwined in a way nothing else ever could.

He had went that crazy.

  • The Mafia Professor’s Cruel Obsession   109. Haunted!

    || ᴀᴜᴛʜᴏʀ ᴘᴏᴠ ||In the depths of the dead forest, Rosa’s eyes darted around, searching.The surrounding was grey, shabby and dry leaves under her feet. No one was there. A faint mist curled, lowly slithering through the trees, creeping toward her.Then Rosa’s gaze froze. A black shadow stood in the distance. The outline of a woman. Familiar. Too familiar.Rosa’s breath hitched. Her trembling hand lifted on its own, reaching forward. “Mommah?”She blinked rapidly when another shadow materialized. The face grew clearer. Her father’s face.The woman’s head tilted softly, “Baby? How are you? Mommy misses you.” her voice was gentle and achingly tender.Rosa’s chest rose sharply. She nodded frantically, stumbling forward, taking steps closer. But the closer Rosa tried to get, the farther they drifted away. Their shadows stretched back, retreating with every step she took forward.“Mommah, wait for me. Please don’t go. Momma?”“Does he hurt you, my baby? Are you in pain? Mommy can take you

    || Author POV ||“Stay.” Killian breathed.Rosa blinked, clutching herself even tighter. But Killian tilted her chin up with the pad of his finger. “Stay.” he repeated deeper this time. It was almost a pleading.His eyes searched hers, “Don’t leave me. You don’t have to be scared. I won’t hurt you.”Rosa shook her head, tears still falling. Killian’s gaze fixated, fighting to stay focused on her face. His eyelids threatened to close.Rosa jolted when his lips brushed hers–a fragile peck that broke her into more tears, streaming down her cheeks in endless strings.Killian’s eyes darkened as they swept over her face–her fear and her tears. “You can’t leave me. Don’t even try. You’re mine. I won’t let you go.”Rosa’s desperate cries and his ragged breaths filled the room, thickening the air until it felt impossible to breathe. Every word that left him only made her sob harder.If only he hadn’t turned into this monster.If he hadn’t betrayed her.Only if she could still believe him.“Say

  • The Mafia Professor’s Cruel Obsession   107. Stay!

    || Author POV ||Rosa sat by the window. Her legs were pulled to her chest on the chair, head resting on her arms.She was scared to dangle her legs. What if someone pulls them?Her eyes were fixed on the pale moon outside but she saw nothing, felt nothing except fear.She was terrified to close her eyes. So damn terrified to sleep.The room feels alive. Someone or something.. lurking in the shadows, watching her. A presence that shouldn’t exist.And she was scared.So scared. So completely, unbearably scared!Rosa’s eyes were shimmering beautifully like an amethyst diamond in the dark.She hugged herself even tighter. There are some thoughts she refused to admit that he had forced himself on her. He couldn’t be her professor–Rosa blinked her eyes, trying to forget.She flinched slightly at the tiny clicking sound of the door. Rosa glanced back fearfully. The door opened, revealing a tall shadow. She couldn’t see his face. But It was him in the darkness.Why did he come?Rosa spun ba

    || Author POV ||Lilia stepped into Rosa’s room only to find her sitting on the bed, knees pulled close and arms wrapped tightly around herself. Her eyes were fixed on a distant corner.A pang of helplessness struck Lilia’s chest.Rosa didn’t move even when she sensed Lilia’s presence. Quietly, Lilia placed the breakfast tray on the bed and lowered herself beside Rosalie, careful not to startle her.“Dear, look at me.”Her voice was soft as her hand gently stroked through Rosa’s hair but Rosa remained motionless.“Rosalie?” she called again.She received only silence. Lilia sighed heavily and gently pulled at Rosa. Slowly, Rosa’s rigid figure softened when Lilia pressed her head against her side, drawing her into a comforting hug. Her hand moved slowly, caressing Rosa’s arm with careful tenderness.“Don’t break down, Rosalie. You are strong. Trust me, he will not hurt you.”But Rosa didn’t cry. She stayed silent in the elder’s arms and Lilia was wrong. So wrong.He had hurt her—so dee

    || Author POV ||The room grew heavier. Albert didn’t waver. Instead, his gaze met Killian’s before he finally opened his mouth.“I want you to marry Elara.”Killian’s eyes snapped at Albert in disbelief. His expression alone screamed—‘You know I already have my woman. How can you tell me to marry someone else?’His face turned to cold stone. He didn’t care how it might look infront of the elder.“I can’t!” Killian spat coldly. His response was immediate and his tone as sharp as a bladeAlbert’s calm nod was unsettling. “Why not?” he asked smoothly.“You already know exactly why–” Killian began only to be cut off.“Yes, I know.” Albert’s voice deepened. “That’s why I’m telling you to marry my granddaughter. Don’t play a fool, Killian. I know you’re aware I’ve sent my man to watch you and that innocent girl. You think I don’t know what’s going on?” Albert’s voice turned firm.Killian’s fingers curled into a tight fist on his knee. The veins on his hand standing out.“You can’t ruin an

    || Author POV ||“Leave you?” Killian scoffed darkly. “I can’t! I CAN’T BECAUSE–” his eyebrows joined. He swallowed watching her tears.“Because I’m fucking addicted to you!” he gritted. “I AM FUCKING OBSESSED!”“WITH YOU!” Rosa flinched hard.Killian loosened his grip with a soft jerk. His chest was heaving. He turned his back on her and Rosa stood frozen. Her body quaked and eyes brimmed with tears, watching him turn back.Obsession?He was obsessed with what–? Her body?The last flicker of hope inside Rosa’s chest was ripped away the moment the lock clicked shut and he was gone again.“Don’t do this to me.” her fingers dug into the fabric of her dress.Her knees gave out and she collapsed against the cold floor. The sound of her scream muffled by the heavy door. She begged, pleaded in silence until her voice broke but only silence answered her.He would not come back.She was caged again. In that suffocating room.Her palms pressed flat against the cold tiles and body quaked with h
