The room was strangely silent except for the soft rustling of the doctor’s movements. I sat there on the edge of the couch, my injured foot propped up as he carefully examined it. The pain was there like a dull throb that I could barely register over the storm of confusion and suspicion swirling in my mind. Judas had ordered a doctor. For me.

The thought was baffling. Too much to the point I couldn’t help but steal glances at his face.

Judas was stadning a few feet away though I could still feel his piercing gaze eating me alive despite the distance.

He wore his shades this time, the same pair that made him look impenetrable, unreadable. The cane was in his hand, gripped tightly, and my entire body tensed at the memory of where that cane had been just yesterday. The cruel way he’d wielded it, the way he’d relished in my pain.

  • Serpentine Desires    The Prey

    I was not afraid of death, but the man breathing over my head.Ready to take my soul.Demolish me. And then devour me.As if he hadn't done it already.I didn't know how I was still breathing, or why was I even alive. He should plung this knife into my chest and kill me too. Cause I couldn't watch it. How could I when a man was squirming on the floor in his own blood.Everything around me was shrinking, suffocating me in the violence.My breath caught in my throat as I looked disbelievingly Judas—calm, collected, eerily unbothered by the pool of blood now seeping across the floor. His fingers resumed their idle robotical drumming against my waist.And with every tap, I'd panic a little more.Carlo's guttural groans filled the suffocating silence, but Judas paid him no mind. His hand, now clean of blood, traced slow, almost affectionate circles on my side. The warmth of his touch burned through the cold shock freezing my limbs and I couldn't move."Strange, isn't it?" His voice was low

    My skin was on fire, prickling under the intensity of his touch, and it was too much.I didn’t even remember ripping off the woolen scarf and tossing it into the backseat of the car. The cold air bit into my exposed neck, but it was nothing compared to the searing heat of this monster’s arm around my waist.His cane tapped rhythmically as we walked, his sunglasses shielding his unreadable eyes from the world, the prettiest and perfect illusion of blindness.Ask me, I’d write his tales with better pen.I didn’t know why he bothered to bring me along.Kyle trailed behind us, stiff and silent like always, with guards I didn’t recognize shadowing our every step. My ankle throbbed faintly, a dull reminder of the price I’d paid for being careless. But the pain was manageable—nothing compared to the six feet four inches bastard that tower over me like a storm cloud.We were escorted to the private dining area, what caught my sight first was the large table at the center, surrounded by men.

    This… this felt surrel. To the point I couldn’t believ my eyes.Why would he send me this?As I pulled out the red dress from the paper bag, my fingers brushed over the luxurious fabric. The tag—a name that screamed wealth—hung from the sleeve. My breath caught. It was something the younger me would’ve died to wear. Now? It felt like a noose tightening around my neck.A box sat beside the dress, the lid slightly open. Cherry red heels, delicate and fierce, just like the man who’d chosen them. Next to that, a small box with diamond studs and a ribbon. The bow? Red, of course. It was all a message.My hands trembled as I placed the dress back. But the thought of refusing him wasn’t an option. I knew what he was capable of, what lines he wouldn’t hesitate to cross. Wearing this dress—it wasn’t just about dinner. It was control, and he had all of it.Sighing, I grabbed the dress and put it on. Though the more the fabric touched my skin, the more it burned.The reflection in the mirror was

    Just like I agreed, I stayed in the apartment for the next two days. And to my relief, Judas kept his distance. If it looked like it. Or should I say, he was too busy in whatever business he was running, to spend more than an hour in the apartment.He’d come late at night, and I would pretend to sleep, every muscle in my body taut with the fear of his touch. But he wouldn’t take me. Not again. Instead, he would sit in that same chair, in the corner, cradling a glass of wine as if it were a sacred ritual. His eyes, even through the darkness, I could feel on me, cold and calculating. The hours dragged as I lay there, my body healing but my soul flayed open, raw and exposed. He was a man of habits, and this habit of watching, of claiming without action, had become part of our twisted routine.When he did touch me, it was like a branding iron—quick, sharp, meant to leave a mark.His kisses were devoid of warmth, his hands unforgiving as they roamed my body with a possessive force that mad

    Judas returned but wearing a scowl and not his usual amusement. I held my breath and walked on eggshells around him. Kyle also followed him in as he looked at me and I unconciously pulled at the front of my sweater to not let him have a look at my perked nipples.The bastrad would’ve brought a bra at least.The earlier rage was still there but first I needed to convince him to let me out of this apartment. I couldn’t stay here trapped.To my surprise Kyle went into the kitchen and that’s when I noticed he had a bag with him. And watched as he unloaded the bag on to the counter. Food. My eyes flickered to Judas who was now sitting on the dining table still wearing the. Bloodied pants but his shirt was clean. Hair tousled unlike earlier. I hesitated not knowing whether to stay here or walk back into the room.Kyle put the food in three plates and I realised I should just stay. Taking and barely making it to the table with sprained foot, I sat on fattest end of the table. “What happened
