All Chapters of The Count’s Obsession: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

It's been like this since Isis started waking up with Xanthe beside him. Every morning, when he sees her face the moment he opens his eyes, happiness and contentment wash over him.This feeling was new to him, and he got addicted immediately. He got addicted to Xanthe’s face being the first thing he sees when he wakes up every morning.He brushed a strand of hair away from Xanthe’s face, and a smile formed on his lips as he looked at her lovingly."Indeed a good morning..." he whispered before placing a soft kiss on her forehead.Afterward, he carefully got up and tucked her in before leaving the room."Ajax," he called to his butler as he entered the kitchen, yawning, "what's for breakfast?""Nothing. I'm too lazy." Ajax said, sitting on a stool facing the island counter, resting his chin on his hands. "Oh... fuck."Isis frowned as he made his own coffee. "Why are you lazy all of a sudden? I'm not paying you to be lazy, Ajax."Ajax just sighed heavily.He shook his head. "Do you have

"What the fuck just happened?" Isis asked when he came out of his daze. One minute, he was so jealous, and the next, he was feeling happy and loved. "I think I'm losing my mind. Ajax," he looked at his butler, "can falling for someone make a person lose his mind?"Caius tsked. "Brother, she sweet-talked you. That's what happened."Baby nodded. "She's good... at saying the right words that can change someone's emotion. That's a rare talent."Ajax nodded as well. "I just noticed it too. She does know the right words to say."He stared at his girlfriend's empty seat. That's true... what Baby and Ajax said was true. Xanthe knows how to take away his anger, his tiredness, or his jealousy. She knows what to say and do to make him feel better."It's a good thing, right?" Caius said, looking at him, "My brother has finally found someone who knows him, understands him, and accepts him, including his ugly traits. I'm happy. Don't lose her, brother. She's a keeper."Smiling, he reached out and r

"Aren’t you scared?" Ajax’s question to Xanthe was unintentionally overheard by Isis as he entered the kitchen. He had immediately looked for Xanthe when he woke up and she wasn't beside him. "I know that it must be terrifying to see my Lord like that, dripping with someone's blood... but please don't leave him."Isis stiffened. Hearing Ajax beg for him... it warms his heart, but it scared him at the same time. Scared of what Xanthe will say.He wanted to step back so he wouldn't hear Xanthe’s answer, but he couldn't. He was rooted in place. Deep inside him, he wanted to hear what she's gonna say.He remembered shouting at her last night. He felt so guilty and ashamed. He just didn't want her to see him like that, it scared him."Leave him?" Xanthe’s soft voice filled his ears, making his heartbeat faster, "I don't think I can do that to him. It's scarier for me to see him injured than what I saw last night. When I saw him like that, it brought back memories of when I first saw him ou

"Checkmate," Xanthe said with a smile to Isis, while Isis stared at his girlfriend in disbelief. That was five times in a row that he got checkmated."Thank you for going easy on me, baby," Xanthe said while smiling sweetly at him.And he forced back a smile.Going easy on her? Hell no! He was working his ass off to defeat her! He was not going easy on her! Every round, her movement changes. She uses different openings and unusual traps, even mixing two opening traps, confusing the fuck out of him.He couldn't read her next move. Usually, he can read his opponents moves after two to three games but Xanthe’s movements were unreadable.He only knows one person who plays like that, but that person has been dead for a long time.Xanthe said she only 'slightly' knows how to play. Is she freaking kidding me? 'Slightly' knowing how to play doesn't play like this!This is the first time that he lost while playing seriously. "Fuck..."The young woman looked up at him, "what was that?" He shook

“You motherfucker!” Isis voice thundered inside the room when one of the men Xanthe was fighting touched her waist. “Don’t touch my woman!”He kicked the man's neck, grabbed his head, pulled it down, and kneed him in the face. As the man stumbled back, holding his bleeding nose and mouth, he grabbed his girlfriend by the waist and lifted her into the air.Their eyes met. “Kick him,” he said.Xanthe smiled at him before holding onto his shoulder, moving her body mid-air as he held her waist, and stretching her legs to deliver a strong kick to the head.When he lowered her and her feet touched the floor, they automatically turned back-to-back, their backs touching.Their bodies were in a fighting stance when their eyes settled on the only conscious one remaining.“He’s mine,” Xanthe said with gritted teeth. “He kidnapped my best friend.”“Fine but don’t let him touch you.” He sighed and put his hands in his pockets, “I’ll get jealous.”The corner of Xanthe’s lips tugged upward, “Of cour
