He settled back slowly, his throat clearing softly as he sat beside me in the creaking chair. Softly, he pushed out a hand to put my plate in front of me first, as if he was assuring himself I was ready before him.

"Uh. let's eat," he whispered.

I caught him staring at me for a moment, observing the way his spoon was hanging down rather than up, clumsily perched on the table. I couldn't help but burst out laughing when I saw it. It was such a little thing, but for some odd reason, it caught me by surprise and made me laugh.

He raised an eyebrow when he heard me, looking up, and said, "Why? What's funny?"

I was pointing at his spoon, still chuckling a bit. "You're holding it incorrectly," I told him, struggling not to laugh anymore.

His face softened immediately, and wordlessly, he re-gripped the spoon and took off a bite. I watched how he went about it easily, then remembered that I had gotten a bruise on my hand earlier.

That was from the old man who had hit me, and my hand w

  • Obsessive Lust   CHAPTER 29

    "Five years ago?" I asked Liam, feeling a wave of confusion wash over me. My brow furrowed as I looked into his face, trying to grasp what he just said. It was a strange phrase to hear, especially since I hadn’t thought about that time in ages. The last five years felt blurry and disconnected like pieces of a puzzle.It wasn't the first time I’d heard something similar. Just few days ago, Zeph mentioned that time in the car. I thought that was something I don't have to think of. Still, now hearing Liam bring it up again made me start to wonder. Could there really be something important about what happened five years ago? Did I miss something? Was there a reason they kept referencing it?The truth is, I have no clear memory of what I did or what I experienced back then. My short-term memory loss makes it hard to recall anything recent, let alone events from five years ago. I only know that I was only fifteen when those years slipped past me. That age alone feels like a foggy window bec

  • Obsessive Lust   CHAPTER 28

    I hurried straight to the room, the door slamming shut behind me with a loud. My hands trembled slightly as I reached for the lock, ensuring it clicked firmly into place. I knew I had just grabbed everyone’s attention.It hadn’t been long since I had settled onto the bed, sitting there with a jumble of conflicting feelings swirling inside me, when I suddenly heard the unmistakable sound of a heavy, deliberate knock on the door.The knocking echoed through the room, “Valerie… please,” came the familiar, pleading voice through the door. “Let’s talk. Just talk to me, and I’ll explain everything. You’ve got it all wrong.” The words sounded sincere, desperate even. I could hear the faint strain in his voice, a mixture of frustration and hope that maybe, just maybe, I would listen.I hesitated, my mind racing to process what he was saying. I wanted to believe him or at least hear him out....yet a deep instinct told me to hold back. “No,” I finally whispered. “Just give me some time, please

    I woke up when I heard soft rustling noises and the faint clink of glass echoing through the room. The sunlight was just starting to creep in, but more than that, I could tell Liam was already awake because the space beside me was empty. Moving slightly, I peeked over the blankets and saw him by the window, standing there with a glass of wine in his hand. He'd been drinking again. Of course. Liam really loves his wine, doesn’t he? All those evenings spent tasting different reds and whites must have become a habit by now. When I finally managed to lift my head, I asked groggily, “What time is it?” My voice sounded rough and unsure, still half-asleep.Liam turned his head at the sound of my voice, his eyes gleaming with amusement. There was that knowing smirk playing on his lips as he strolled over to me with confidence in every step, like he already knew I was awake. His smile widened a little, and he replied casually, “You’re finally awake,” followed by a small chuckle that seemed

    They looked like kids, full of energy and reckless joy, splashing wildly and laughing loudly in the cool water. Their carefree behavior was contagious, making it impossible not to smile at the sight of them. Liam darted past me, his face lit up with childlike glee. His whole body seemed to light up with excitement, as if he’d forgotten all about the fishing trip we had planned. Instead of focusing on casting lines and waiting patiently for a bite, they threw themselves into the water with abandon, diving and giggling, completely caught up in the simple joy of the moment.My initial plan had been to sit quietly by the bank, trying my luck at catching fish with the bait and rod I’d brought along. But the moment Liam yanked me into the water without warning, everything changed. I shrieked sharply, surprised and caught off guard, water splashing up to my face as I tumbled into the cool current. Water dripped from my hair and ran down my arms, making me shiver slightly. I sputtered and

    The cold air from the air conditioner brushed against my skin, sending a shiver down my spine. I pulled the covers tighter around me, trying to stay warm, feeling the chill seep through the fabric. Just as I thought I’d drift back to sleep, I noticed something tugging at the edge of my blanket. “Liam, go get your own!” I mumbled groggily, expecting it to be him again, teasing me as he often did when he was bored. I was so caught up in my exhaustion and the soft hum of the AC that I didn’t think much of it. I just shrugged, turning slightly to get more comfortable, assuming it was more of Liam’s silly game.But then, out of nowhere, I heard a sharp bark. The noise cut through the quiet room. My eyes fluttered open, fuzzy from sleep, but the sound was clear. A dog was outside, or was it? That thought made me freeze for a second. Dogs don’t usually bark inside or right next to my bed. And why would a dog be here at all? I blinked a few times, forcing my eyelids open more, trying to shak

    People were stunned, too shocked to speak or even to breathe.“Okay, everyone. Let’s continue what we started and just pretend that nothing happened,” Zeph announced with her voice calm.Everyone slowly returned to their own business, as if nothing had happened.“Liam? Valerie? Can we talk for a moment?” Zeph excused the three of us, motioning us aside.“Valerie…” Someone gently grabbed my hand.It was Kleon.“Kleon? What is it?” I asked, surprised.“Take care... and you too, Liam,” he said with a faint smile. “You guys go ahead. I’ll take care of things here.”“Thank you, Kleon. I’ll make sure to treat you later,” Zeph winked at him.Wait... was there something going on between them?“I’ll count on that,” Kleon replied, and they shared a knowing smile before we left the room.As we walked away, with Liam’s assistant supporting him, I called out, “Zeph?”“Yeah?” she replied, not stopping.“Why didn’t you help me back there?”“Remember when I told you I’d be the first one to believe in
