THE BEAST'S OBSESSION のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

"I will be honest, bestie." Joy starts when I am all dressed and dolled up."I know, Joy. You don't have to say it." I respond, knowing what she has in mind."Still, I will say it, Ella. I don't consent to this madness one bit, but since you are one tenacious arse, I am perfectly aware that I can't stop you. So, please, please, be extra careful. This is fire you are playing with, a monster who doesn't have a heart. Be very careful." She says.I can sense the corpulence in her tone. The care fused with the dismay she feels for me right now. How sweet to know that there is someone who cares this much. It's beautiful.I pull her for a hug, hugging her tight for the first time, and taking our time to savor this sweet feeling. We eventually pull away, and I keep her hands in mine."I'm gratified for your concern, Joy. I appreciate that you worry about me, so I promise, I won't let that jerk cause me more harm." I say to her."Why don't you want to tell me your plans? You know your secrets

We saunter into what feels like a carnage chamber, with me embodied in this monster's possessive arms, but my mind and eyes are on this other guy. Deep! He is glowing so brightly and gorgeous under these lights. I wonder how he would look in broad daylight.With my engrossed mind, watching my steps had slipped out of my mind, until I kicked a heavy box, startling the two men in my company as I stagger in Ajay's hold. Shit!"Are you okay?"And he had to speak, taking my breath away. His voice is so mind-blowing. He is everything his name denotes -DEEP! The name that bleeds nothing but magical charm. His complexion exudes nothing but a compelling sweet sin. That's why having a girl like me whose confusion is her second name, close to a man with such a compelling demeanor is bad news. His charming demeanor is not just mystifying me, it's tormenting my soul and mind. "Babe, are you okay?" And here comes the horrible terrorizing voice of the devil himself. The real king of evil. The ide

I stroll behind Ajay to whatever he is taking me for the briefing of my next assignment. Deep's reflection has erupted a volcano in my heart and blown my mind. I just can't seem to shake off his portrayal out of my mind, and my heart seems so unsettled about him. Yearning would be a fairer phrase. I am yearning for him. Even just to see him from afar. If only I can be able to talk to him or understand why he makes me feel this way... Then Ajay's threats earlier echoes with a bang in my head, reminiscing me of the risks. Certainly, he meant every single word of his threats. He wouldn't think twice about blowing Deep's brains out if I get close to him. Unless I want another person's blood on my head, I have to forget Deep. I have to stop thinking about him. And me, I might give Ajay the courage to finally kill me if I dare him like that. He seems so possessive of me, and why that is so, I don't know. I can't risk another life. I can't risk him killing me too."Are you okay?" I boost my

Sauntering into the humongous corked kitchenette, I swim through the vast crowds of the girls as I head to the counter. It's around ten in the morning, meaning they are just after tidying up this whole damn place, which is their first task every morning. I scan around for Joy, but I don't see her anywhere and since I am both in a haste and enthusiastic to start my first task, I stroll ahead to the counter."Breakfast for miss Annah, ma'am." I say to the lady behind the counter when I get there.Marga is an elderly lady, presumably in her late forties. She is in charge of the kitchen, and of course, since she can't do all the cooking, the girls do the cooking too. She doesn't talk much, that is if she ever does talk. She is always reserved, and devoted to her duties. That has made every girl here to fear her, including me.She places the tray of the breakfast that I requested on the table without saying a word. "Thank you." I mumble, taking the breakfast and turning on my feet after s

"Hi, Annah!" I greet the poor lady, but all she does is just stare at me. Her stare is gentle but with ample cloaked emotions. There is this sorrow portrayed in her eyes. But before my paranoia kicks in, I should perhaps reckon that her dilemma is nothing but dismal. I mean, it must be arduous enough for her to have the monster's seen germinating in her womb. Who would want that?"I am...""Ella!" She finishes the sentence for me. I nod my head in consent. She must have heeded my name from the dialogue I had with Jay and Terris just now, or last night when I was arguing with Ajay right at this spot."Come. Let's have some fresh air while you have your breakfast." I say, nudging the small door of her chamber open.Without a word, she starts dragging herself out albeit with confusion. I get it. She must be wondering what miracle befall for the monster to gift her the souvenir of seeing the sun.As we get outside, Anna can't help the kick of the euphoria of the sun kissing her skin. He
