Semua Bab The Vampire’s Obsession : Bab 1 - Bab 10

There’s nothing more infuriating than being woken up by loud, obnoxious banging outside your door. It’s been months, but I’m still not used to being interrupted during sleep. I tried covering my ears with a pillow, but the pounding only got louder.“Astra!” my aunt yelled from outside.I had no choice but to get up. Still half-asleep, I opened the door that I was certain would break if she knocked one more time. Couldn’t she just wake me up nicely? Did she really have to beat down the door?“Ouch!” I complained as Aunt Ophelia’s heavy hand landed on my head like solid iron. She was wearing her favorite red floral dress again.“Good morning to you too, Auntie,” I greeted flatly.“What time do you think it is? You think you’re some kind of princess, Astra?” she scolded and raised her hand again, but I dodged it just in time. I wanted to snap back—I’ve never felt like a princess in this house—but I held my tongue. “Make breakfast. Then go clean Eliyah’s room.”“Wait... I have class too—”

Chapter 3: The TransitionIn the chaotic state of my mind, a realization suddenly hit me—I didn’t even know the man carrying me. I didn’t know how they entered our house without being stopped by Aunt Ophelia, who’s even worse than our dog Tati when it comes to barking at strangers. I didn’t know how they got into my room without going through the door.I wanted to fight back, but my body wouldn’t let me. It felt like I was drugged and had completely lost control. Who the hell is this jerk claiming me as his slave just because he helped me? What the hell is happening to me?I sniffled. My head was close to his chest, and I could smell his cologne. His manly scent lingered on my nose. Oh fuck. Is that the drug? Why does it smell so damn good? He's drugging me through his scent!Then I heard a chuckle in my head."Your girl is interesting, Brix. She’s exaggerated—but in a good way. Funny, too. I guess you’ve finally found what you were looking for."If I had to guess, Brix was the one ca

Chapter 5: Good NightI had no idea what was going on, but Mr. Severo’s ecstatic laughter somehow lightened the mood. I didn’t know what was so funny, but since he was the only one laughing, I just laughed along. Brix’s face remained expressionless, but I could tell he didn’t like what was happening based on how tightly he was gripping me. Nathalia also seemed as clueless as I was.“I didn’t expect this,” Mr. Severo said, still laughing. He accidentally nudged his glass of wine, but before it could fall, he swiftly caught it. I swallowed nervously at how fast his movements were. He took a sip while looking at his son.“Don’t mind her, Dad. She’s just like that,” Brix said, bowing slightly. “I apologize for the impudent behavior this girl has shown you. I promise it won’t happen again.”I mentally rolled my eyes. Can’t he stop insulting me already? Even if I did say something inappropriate, is it my fault they suddenly brought me here without warning? I thought Brix’s father would be w

I’ve been weeping nonstop for almost an hour.Every time I think about Tati’s bloodied body, it feels like my heart is being crushed. I didn’t mean for it to happen—I lost control. But no matter how many excuses I try to come up with, it doesn’t change the truth: I killed him. These very hands of mine ended his life.“It’s just a dog,” Brix mumbled for the nth time.I wiped my tears and gave him a death glare.After everything that happened, I let Brix drag me away. I couldn’t think of anything else but escaping, and he was the closest way out. He took me to a beach, one that revealed a stunning stretch of blue sea. It must have been a remote part, rarely visited by people.“How long are you going to cry over that dog?”“You don’t get it, Brix. I killed an innocent—”“Dog,” he interrupted.“He’s not just a dog!” I snapped.“Then what? Your freaking boyfriend?”I grabbed a small rock nearby and threw it at him. It hit his chest, but he didn’t even flinch. He just brushed off the speck

Chapter 9: Give InI got into Brix’s car like he told me to. Just like the first time I rode in it, I remained silent and stared out the window. Earlier, he asked me if I knew where he could buy a dog, but I didn’t answer.First of all, I still hadn’t moved on from our earlier argument.Second, I didn’t know any pet stores aside from the one I’d heard of but couldn’t locate.And lastly, here we were again—acting like nothing happened.As usual, he didn’t push the question once he got no answer.Is that it? After everything we said to each other, he’s just going to pretend it didn’t happen? Is this really how he is? Just like during our first encounter—how he made it clear I was nothing more than a slave he could dispose of whenever I stopped being useful. And the moment I turned my back, it was like he forgot he ever said that.“Can’t you shut up?” he suddenly snapped, pulling me out of my thoughts.I turned toward him. His lips were twisted in irritation, eyes focused on the road. Th
