last update Huling Na-update: 2025-07-24 16:28:17

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

    “Arf! Arf!” A dog’s bark woke me up.“Hmm.” I whined when I heard it. I could still feel my body aching, like I’d been hit. It ached and refused to move.“Arf! Arf!” The barking didn’t stop. My eyelids were still heavy and refused to open. I used all my strength last night, and now, I couldn’t even open my eyes.I felt the space beside me in bed was empty. Then I saw Liam’s blanket on the floor. It was already folded but there was no sign of him. I looked toward the window, his usual spot in the morning with his glass of wine. But he wasn’t there.Maybe he woke up early. Earlier than usual. But where could he be right now?Even though my body was still screaming in pain, I did my best to get up and used whatever strength I had left.I followed the dog, King.“Hey! Wait up!” I shouted as he continued running. I couldn’t catch up.“Ah!” I screamed as I nearly slipped.But someone caught me, and it was Harold, Liam’s friend and also his personal assistant. “Careful,” he said as he helpe

    “What are you planning to do?” he asked, that teasing smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.I swallowed hard. His voice was low and playful. “W-why are you smiling like that?” I stammered, already feeling my skin burn.He leaned in without warning, tilting his head and inhaling deeply near my neck. The warmth of his breath sent a shiver spiraling down my spine.“W-why… why are you doing that?” I asked, barely above a whisper.His lips brushed the shell of my ear as he spoke. “Did you wear that perfume to seduce me, woman?” he asked, his voice smooth and wicked.“What? N-no…” I tried to sound convincing.But maybe… yes.“You have no idea how hard it is to keep my cool around you,” he murmured. “Every time you’re near, I feel like I’m seconds away from losing control. And right now…” His eyes swept over me, slow and dark. “It looks like you’re the one who wants it badly.”I bit my lip, caught wanting him, but not knowing how to say it out loud.“Let me help you,” he said, then he le

    “What are you doing here?” Liam asked sharply, his voice echoing over the quiet of the late evening. Zeph had just climbed onto the large rock where we had been sitting for some time. Instead of responding right away, she simply shrugged, a small, dismissive motion, and then eased herself onto the rough surface beside me. Then her eyes lingered on Liam with an unspoken challenge.After a few moments of silence, Zeph finally broke her own quiet. She leaned back slightly, took a deep breath, and looked out over the sky before speaking softly. “Don’t take life too seriously,” she said, holding a nearly empty bottle of alcohol in her hand. “You guys should really try to enjoy the moment. We’re here to relax, to forget about everything for a little while. But look at the two of you.” Her eyes flicked from Liam to me. “Still caught up with all your worries about life, responsibilities, work, family.... like you’re stuck in a rut. Why not just relax, even if it’s just for a little while? B

  • 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
