Alaric pov

Trigger warning: This chapter contains suicide-related content.

“Why do you think people would rather choose to die than live?” I asked, my eyes fluttering shut as I mindlessly drummed my fingers on the seat.

“I don’t know, Alaric. I don’t freaking know! Probably the same reason you thought it was a great idea to make your therapist your damn driver!” Adam snapped from the driver’s seat, his voice thick with frustration. “I should’ve known something was off when you said I should tag along for this party. Ha! I should’ve known I was just your chauffeur.”

The corner of my lips curved at his words, but I ignored him and continued.

“What kind of hell do you think someone has to go through to reach the point where they decide to take their own life? I mean…” I paused the motion of my fingers and reached up to stroke my chin in thought.

“Taking your own life isn’t easy and definitely not for the faint-hearted. But to reach that place where living no longer feels worth it…

    Isla pov I stared at him, stunned, as he stepped out of the car. Almost instantly, cameras began flashing, the photographers eagerly taking photos of Alaric. “That’s Alaric Voss! I can’t believe he really came,” some of them exclaimed, their voices cutting through the night with excitement as they scrambled for more shots. But Alaric didn’t even blink at the flashes in his eyes, as if he was used to it. I watched as he walked to my side and opened the door. For a brief second, the world seemed to stop as I stared at him. His gray eyes were fixed on me, a small smile playing at the corners of his lips as he stood tall before me. At that moment, he looked like something out of a fairytale. Not the charming prince or the kind-hearted hero but something darker. He looked devilish in that black suit, with a dangerous glint in his eyes. My heart pounded loudly as he reached out his hand toward me. My eyes flickered from his face to his outstretched hand, and I swallowed nervously. I

  • Touch me, Ruin me: Daddy's pet   92|Fuck you like you deserve.

    Isla pov This man… I wasn’t even sure how to describe Alaric right now, but if there was one word for it, it would be shameless. Shameless because as he drove down the road, his hand rested on my thigh, right on the slit that ran from my inner left thigh down to my leg. My body tensed, reacting just like it always did around him, especially as he casually began rubbing his large hand along my skin. The fact that he didn’t even glance at me, his eyes fixed on the road with a mischievous smirk tugging at his lips, told me he knew exactly what he was doing. “God, what is he doing?” I whispered under my breath, glancing down at the bright red roses in front of me as a blush crept onto my face. Back at the penthouse, when Alaric had first seen me, he’d dropped the flowers in his hands and shamelessly said out loud. “Fuck, is it possible not to go anymore? I can think of better ways to spend the night.” And Liam’s dry response? “That’s not possible, boss. The president is attendin

    Isla pov As the car glided down the road, different thoughts raced through my mind, and I couldn’t help but wonder what was really going on. All of a sudden, Alaric wanted to go on a date with me? But why? Why would he use the deal I made with him just to go on a simple date? He had basically handed the biggest company in Korea to Suhyeon on a silver platter— for a date? As the minutes passed, I kept glancing at Liam, who was driving silently, his eyes fixed on the road. I wasn’t sure if he noticed me looking at him or if he simply didn’t care. Either way, his expression was as cold as the Atlantic. No pun intended. Eventually, I couldn’t take the silence anymore. I sighed in frustration, then turned toward him. “Where are we going, Liam? A date with Alaric? This is too sudden, and… I’m not even ready for a date.” My eyes dropped to the clothes I’d been wearing since last night. I hadn’t even been able to take a proper shower, brushing my teeth this morning was the only thin

  • Touch me, Ruin me: Daddy's pet   89| A date.

    Isla pov It was surreal. I still couldn’t believe what the detective had just told us, that Min-Jae had been attacked in his cell by his cellmate after a confrontation. They described it as brutal. The assailant had stabbed him with a knife, shattering both his hands and feet. While I stood there in stunned silence, trying to process the news, they added that the attacker would definitely be punished for what he’d done. Esther, on the other hand, practically jumped for joy and called it karma, much to the detectives’ surprise. After that, everything felt like a blur. We gave our statements to the detectives, and not long after, the doctor informed us that Suhyeon was awake and that we could finally see her. We cried when we saw her, hugging each other tightly and promising that this wouldn't happen to any of us again. That night, Esther and I stayed by Suhyeon’s side, taking care of her together. And now, it was afternoon, and I was peeling an apple for Suhyeon, who, if

    Alaric pov Knock. Knock. The window rolled down, and James came into view, his usual cold, emotionless expression set firmly in place as he stared straight ahead, not even sparing me a glance. Not that I expected any different. A slight smirk tugged at the corner of my lips as I leaned forward, resting my arms on the window frame, my eyes locked on him. “Hey, brother. Lovely night, isn’t it?” I said casually. He turned his gaze to me, a frown curving his lips as he stared back. For a brief moment, I caught a flicker of disgust in his eyes before he masked it, leaning back in his seat and crossing his legs. “Don’t call me that, bastard. What do you want?” he asked, tugging at his tie— a habit he always did when frustrated, when he was right on the edge of losing control. Still, he wore that perfectly indifferent expression. My smirk widened as I watched him. James. My half-brother. Same father, different mothers. While he was the son of the legal wife of the Voss family, I wa
