Obsession Level: MAX Chapter 10
After we got home, Logan fell ill. It was probably the rain, the injuries, and the long trip finally catching up to him.Logan lay in bed, his cheeks flushed from a high fever. Even while unconscious, he had a firm grip on my wrist. The number above his head remained at 9,999+. The figure hadn’t changed, not even once. I fed him medicine and stared at his haggard but defined facial features as emotions overtook my very core. While Logan was out of it, I snuck into his study. It was my first time in his study. Usually, I wasn’t allowed inside.I wanted to do a little searching and find out why his malice level was high. The shelves were filled with books on psychology, criminology, and anatomy. A black diary was locked in a drawer. I found a paperclip and popped the lock open. It was a trick I picked up from thrillers, and who knew it came in handy?I flipped the diary open and read the first page. “Only blood can purify this filthy world.” Sure enough, Logan
Obsession Level: MAX Chapter 9
“You got the wrong idea.” I tried to explain. “I don’t know him that well. I’m just renting his place…” “Cut the crap!” Stuart slapped me hard in the face. “Don’t get smart with me!” It was a bumpy ride all the way until the van pulled up outside an abandoned chemical plant. Bound to a chair, I was surrounded by oil barrels, the air filled with a pungent chemical odor.Stuart dialed Logan’s number and got through to him for once. “Hello?” “I’ve got your girl. “If you want her to live, come to the chemical plant in the western suburbs alone. “Don’t try anything funny, or I’ll kill her.” The line went quiet. The silence was so long that I thought Logan had hung up. I was nothing but a disobedient pet to him after all. “Fine.” As despair washed over me, he spoke. It was just a word, but it carried immense weight. “Don’t touch her.“If there’s even a scratch on her, I’ll make you wish you were never born.”Even through the phone, the biting chill from h

In the days that followed, I was essentially kept like a pet. Logan forbade me from going out and looking for a job. He said that he would provide for me. My protests fell on deaf ears. As soon as I mentioned leaving the apartment, the pink digits above his head would turn crimson. The value wasn’t quite the malice I’d seen before. However, the sheer weight of his presence was overwhelming. I simply stayed put at home, typing away on my keyboard. It so happened that I needed inspiration for my new book. So I used Logan as the blueprint for a character. It was a story of a psycho killer obsessed with his next-door neighbor. I put his character through hell in the pages. In the end, he was caught and given the death penalty. It was satisfying to kill him off on paper, at least. Just as I wrote “The End”, a cold draft crept up behind me. “The ending isn’t very good.” Logan’s voice boomed hauntingly. When did he get back? “Change it.” Leaning closer,

The rain continued to pour. The air in the alleyway was thick with a sickening stench of blood. I stared vacantly at the pink value of 9,999+ hovering over Logan’s head. My mind went blank. Cameron slumped in a corner, and there was no telling whether he was dead or alive. Judging by the slight rise in his chest, I reckoned he was passed out. Logan didn’t plan on killing him. Maybe he just didn’t want to take a life right in front of me. “Can you walk?” I shook my head. Letting out a sigh, Logan swept me into his arms. I pressed my face against his blood-stained chest, listening to his strong heartbeats, a sharp contrast to my absolute terror. “We’re going home.” He carried me out of the alleyway. In the back, Cameron jerked and let out a pleading whimper. Logan stopped in his tracks. Without looking back, he kicked back with his heel. A pebble flung out and hit Cameron right in the back of the head. The world went quiet. Back in the apartment, Logan

I walked out of the office building, the sunlight was blinding. However, I didn’t feel even a trace of warmth. My phone rang. Heavy breathing came from the other end of the line. “Eden…” The voice belonged to Cameron. He wasn’t dead. I breathed a sigh of relief, only for fear to wash over me. “Where are you?” “Where’s your lover boy? Tell him to show his face!“I want to kill you! I’ll tear you to pieces! “I’m looking right at you…” I jerked my head back. Amid the crowded street, I couldn’t find that silhouette anywhere.However, the malicious gaze on me was hard to ignore. The malice radar went off. In the distance, a man with a baseball cap stood among the crowd. A terrifying, ink-red 5000 pulsed above his head.It was Cameron, and his malice value had soared to 5,000. Something in his hand glinted in the sunlight. He lunged at me. The crowd was oblivious to the danger. I took off running and plunged into a nearby alleyway. It was the only path,
Obsession Level: MAX Chapter 5
Logan’s home was spotless to the point of being clinical. Everything was minimalist, a palette of black, white, and gray, devoid of unnecessary ornaments. There was very little furniture and not even a TV. A huge carpet lay, crimson in color, in the center of the living room.Fear kept me from stepping on the rug. Instead, I stuck close to the wall. “Feel free to sit wherever.” Logan poured me a drink. It was his own cup, a black mug. Cupping the drink, I could feel my palms burn. “Bathroom’s that way. I’ve put out a fresh towel for you. “You should change out of your wet clothes.” He handed me one of his white shirts. I slipped into the bathroom and locked the door behind me. The bathroom was only stocked with the essentials—shampoo, body wash, and a single toothbrush. It appeared he lived alone. I took a quick shower and put on his shirt. The shirt carried a faint scent of fir, the exact smell lingering on him. I folded back the sleeves and stared at
