I looked at him in disbelief. Babe? That woman on the phone just called him babe.

So it's true that he has a girlfriend. And me? I’m just the mistress, just the flirt that people whispered about. And all those stolen touches, the gentle kisses, the careful way he held me, they were never real and it's just part of the show.

He ended the call and slowly turned to face me like he's still hesitant.

“Valerie…” he whispered while his voice is shaking as he reached for my hand.

A tear slipped from my eye before I could stop it. How could I? How could I be the reason for another woman’s pain? The pain that my mother felt once.

I forced a bitter smile and speak. “I get it now. It was all just pretend… right?”

I felt numb and empty like something inside me had just shut down and I couldn’t even tell if it was my heart or my pride or maybe..... both.

I didn’t know how to react. I mean, what right did I have, really? From the very beginning, this was nothing more than a cont

  • Obsessive Lust   CHAPTER 41: SUDDEN CHANGE

    "What?" I asked as my brow furrow. "What happened to Camille?!" I yelled at Jessica, shaking her shoulder.She didn't answer immediately. Instead, she cried even more. "Stop acting like a kid here, Jes. Answer-""She's dead!" she broke down, making me froze in where I am standing."S-she was caught dead...... in a yacht." Jessica explained, still tearing up as she cover her face as if she was trying to hold herself."No. That can't be." I stuttered, kneeling down and lean in the door. I don't know where to lean in able to be strong in this moment."I-im sorry. I know..." Jessica mumble, trying to comfort me even though, she didn't know how to calm herself."Don't. Please don't act like y'all know what I'm feeling right now. Because you didn't.... s-she's the only person that understand me.... " I said, closing my eyes trying to stop the tears coming from my eyes. Jessica help me get up and laid me on the bed. I feel like I'm going to be sick. Camille...... why did you left me? W

  • Obsessive Lust   CHAPTER 40: CAMILLE IS....

    “Jerome?” I echoed, my brows furrowing as the name settled in my mind. “But he’s—”“Dead.” Zeph’s voice cut me off, soft yet final.My heart skipped. Dead? No, that couldn’t be. He’s just in the States, making a life for himself. That’s what I’ve been told.“I’m sorry, Valerie, for bringing up your dead cousin. But I… I loved him. I don’t think I can ever love anyone more than I loved him.” Zeph’s lips quivered, though she tried to mask it with a smile. “After Liam, he was my next priority. And I always put myself last. If only I hadn’t called him that night, if only I didn’t tell him I wanted a rich man… he wouldn’t have gotten into that car accident.”Car accident? So, that was the reason he flew to the States? To prove himself, to make money?“You… you want to see him?” I asked, unsure why those words left my mouth.Zeph laughed, shaking her head in disbelief. “Valerie, how can I see someone who’s dead?” Her laugh was hollow, desperate, the sound of someone who wanted to believe ot

  • Obsessive Lust   CHAPTER 39 : KLEIN AND CAMILLE'S DISAPPEARANCE

    "You… you know me?" I stammered, my voice shaking in surprise. This was my first time entering this café, and yet someone already knew me? The barista smiled. "Ma'am, you're Sir Klein's fiancée, aren't you?" Fiancée? My heart skipped a beat. How did he know that? Only the hotel staff knew that arrangement. "F-fiancée? "Am I wrong, Ma'am?" he asked with a smile. "Sir Klein always shows us your photo. He even reserved this café for a proposal. He had it all set up. The flowers, the reservation. But… I don't know why he postponed it." I was paralyzed. The world around me seemed to blur. I stood there, speechless, unable to breathe. "Ma'am? Are you okay?" The barista's worried voice brought me back to reality. I pursed a sour smile. "Y-yes." "Okay, Ma'am. One espresso. We'll page you when it's made, Ma'am Valerie," he replied, walking off. I went over to the closest table, sitting by the glass window, my thoughts reeling. He was going to get engaged to me? Plan a wedding? But t

  • Obsessive Lust   CHAPTER 38: BLAME TO HER

    "Z-Zeph…" I muttered that I almost whisper. I couldn't talk because I was shocked by what I had just witnessed. "Both of you. Leave." Zeph ordered. We didn't protest. We silently retreated out of the room, the door closing softly behind us. Hana and I just sat on the metal seats along the wall and there's an oppressive silence between us. "See what you do when you're around, Valerie?" Hana's voice hit through me. "You're the reason why he got stabbed." Her words left me speechless. Why couldn't I see that he was stabbed? Why was I so blind? "I-I didn't know…" I stuttered while my voice were shaking. "I didn't know that he—" "Don't lie, Valerie," she interrupted as her voice blame me. "Or… perhaps it was you who stabbed him. That's why you didn't say anything to the doctors. You wanted him to bleed to death. So he wouldn't be saved." "What?" I caught my breath. "You weren't even there, Hana. How are you accusing me of something you didn't see?" "Oh, certainly not," she snarled

  • Obsessive Lust   CHAPTER 37: LIAM VS. FIVE MAN

    "Liam, get in the car!" I yelled as I got out. He turned to me as soon as he heard me say something. But when I looked at his face, my heart sank. He didn't look like Liam anymore. His face was unyielding and furious, his eyes frozen and expressionless. It was as if he wasn't looking at me. Like I'm someone else. "GET IN THE FUCKING CAR!" he yelled back, and his voice was hard and angry. But the way he spoke? it was not like he was speaking to me. It was like I was another person in his eyes. "L-Liam. what—" "I said, GET. IN. THE. FUCKING. CAR." His voice was hard, as if he was talking to a stranger. Before I could move, he walked towards me and clutched my wrist. His hold was so strong and I felt certain it would bruise. He dragged me hard then shoved me into the car, and slapped the door shut. The lock snapped. "Liam!" I shouted, pounding on the window. "Liam, open the door! What are you doing?!" He didn't look in my direction. Or perhaps he was pretending that he can't hear m

  • Obsessive Lust   CHAPTER 36: INSENSITIVE HANA

    We crept slowly across the hospital parking lot, late afternoon sunlight casting stretched shadows on the cracked pavement. Stillness clung to the air, too quiet, interrupted only by the quiet crunch of gravel beneath feet. My gait faltered when we reached the third block of the lot. That's when I saw him. Liam sat there, resting against his car as if he had waited for hours. He was flipping a small rock onto the concrete, over and over again, with the impatient irritation of a boy who'd waited too long to be patient anymore. There was something strangely poignant about the picture—something uncooked. He resembled someone waiting for something, or someone, that was never going to arrive. "Hey," I said, softly. His head jerked in my direction, and the moment our eyes clung together, the tension in his face vanished. A grin spread across his lips—spontaneous, radiant, as if it had been waiting for someone to give permission. Without hesitation, he moved toward me with arms wide open,
