MARKED BY THE CEO's DEADLY KISS OBSESSION 15. Promise
"You're finally worried about me?"I, caught up in the atmosphere, immediately looked away. "What have I always looked like?"Tiger curled around my stomach, his chin resting affectionately on my shoulder, occasionally rubbing his cheek against mine like a kitten."You probably can't imagine how happy I was to see you alive again. But honestly, since then, you've seemed to want to dump me even more. I mean, I understand our relationship was strained by your mutual retirement plans. Now you know the real reason, who we're dealing with, and how worried I am. I'm a little sad about it, and I hope we can mend our ways…"My breath came out weakly, as my forehead sank into Tiger's arm."In life, we're expected to sacrifice one thing for another. But I want to defy that. I want to defend what's worth defending. My career, and you too. The problem is, I doubt you."Tiger turned me around so we could face each other. "Doubting me?" he asked, his hands firmly gripping my shoulders."Don't you r

Tiger's moans weren't as loud as usual. Tonight, he slept a thousand times more soundly. Although we had a long argument, we finally reached a clear conclusion. It could be said that this was the first time since I awoke in Arthemisya's body that Tiger had fallen asleep without having to kill someone. We only had a brief moment of making out. What usually lasted several rounds until one in the morning before he left my apartment, this time was just one round. Once he climaxed, Tiger's eyelids closed tightly as he held me. This was a rare sign of progress and gave me hope that Tiger would recover.Tiger's consciousness might have been jarred when his arm hit the empty pad. I was by his side before bed and woke up early. He was sure to collapse if our agreement was just a dream."Okay, let's do this. Let's announce I'm going on hiatus until we find a way to eliminate their targets. But I also want you to accept my challenge. I want us to move in with Lucy. How about it? If you refuse, I

"What a beautiful dance performance, wasn't it? Let's give the highest appreciation to dancer Lucy Kennedy's debut!"Following host Delan Geraldino's instructions, the guests and audience gave a standing ovation and accompanied Lucy backstage—except for Tiger. Behind a cold expression that overwhelmed the room, Tiger's jittery chest movements indicated his turmoil."Ladies and gentlemen, we will now announce the award for the 2025 Phenomenal Rising Pop-Star category. Dedicated to an incredibly talented individual who has been making headlines recently. After a long and painful journey, it's truly a miracle that she's returned to us. Our award goes to… Arthemisya Zacceline!"Tiger was the first to give a standing ovation. His clap reached chin level, higher than the others. This super-glamorous first experience was incredibly heart-pounding. I kept my steps steady as I made my way to the stage, lest my high heels slip out of control and shake my footing.It was hard to believe. A thi

"Haha, you're good at joking, my dear. Of course, not always."For Tiger, a billionaire wouldn't walk away empty-handed. He'd worn a necklace with a teardrop pendant. My bare neck was now adorned with a small blue pendant that shimmered like a mermaid's pearly tears."Sometimes I just think about how lucky I am to have you," Tiger said.A brief kiss rested solemnly on my head, making it difficult to deny the aching in my heart. But on the other hand, I was afraid of falling deeper into the illusion of being loved this intensely, while being shackled by the dilemma of Tiger's feelings being tainted by human blood, and me merely a helpful tool to polish his clean image.Over time, I will truly continue the bitterness Arthemisya felt. Her ambition longed for pure love, but she was trapped by endless cruelty. My fists tightened. I refused to waver. In the end, just like Arthemisya, I was confident I could decide to choose myself. And Lucy was the choice the universe had given me."Tiger,"

A welcome squeak greeted us both as we entered the final unit. The room was filled with the usual quiet, furnished living quarters: the cupboards and sofa were in their normal positions.My gloved hands pulled out the drawers individually, then surveyed the kitchen set from afar. Undeniably, both the contents and the kitchen were left empty. Except the trash can in the hallway was full of expensive delivery food plastic bags. Perhaps Tiger was deliberately preventing his captives from resisting or dying at their hands.Zerikyu led me to the main bedroom. "Shhh…!" He hissed, noticing a small gap in the bedroom door. Zerikyu and I were the same height, but it was still tricky to peek through because his hat was in the way."Can you move a little?" I asked.Zerikyu remained motionless, his mouth open, his eyes unblinking. As a result, I moved to the left, forcing my vision through the gap. No wonder Zerikyu's reaction was so wide-eyed. I did the same. There is a young girl, her slend

It was hard to hide my wariness as Zerikyu hurriedly removed his hat and black jacket. My back was pressed against the door in case the man with the distinctive freckles pulled a weapon from beneath his coat. However, all he was wearing now was a plain white T-shirt. It seemed the trauma Tiger had caused was starting to take its toll."You look pretty shaken, Miss," Zerikyu said, rolling up his belongings and tossing them into the trash. "I understand. It must have been hard on you all these years living with him. Oh, and make sure Mr. Tiger doesn't dig through this trash, okay?""It's no use. Tiger can see your current location on the CCTV," I said casually. I didn't mind, as Tiger would probably consider this trivial. It's common for a fan to break into a celebrity's apartment.Zerikyu gaped. "Oh my, that's right! What do you think?""Hey, are you really that great of a shaman?" My eyes narrowed. "Come in. I'll tell Tiger you're actually my childhood friend. At the concert, I was th
