All Chapters of Obsession: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Iris had always believed that the world, despite its cruelty, must hide somewhere a small mercy in a corner.She still believed in this belief…Until…Some events happened that turned her view of the world upside down.…Iris was just an ordinary orphan girl with no strong background.She worked in a small kiosk in the morning and sewed in her own shop at night.Her routine was simple.But what bothered her was her beautiful face.She saw herself as ordinary, without any special beauty, just acceptable.But whenever her face appeared from behind her silver strands of hair, eyes corrupted by filthy desire turned toward her, a predator’s gaze toward prey.So she had to lower her fringe over half her face and use makeup to make her appearance more ordinary.And finally, the harassing looks and attempts at flirting decreased.Today she was at her small sweets kiosk.She would turn nineteen tomorrow, so she decided to make a small cake for herself at the end of the day.While she was distr

Iris became severely ill after that incident.Her temperature rose to an unprecedented level, as if her body was burning, as though fire was flowing through her veins.Even when she reached adulthood and experienced her first menstrual cycle, she had never suffered from such a violent fever.The last thing she remembered about her mother was being told that reaching adulthood would bring some pain and fever due to their lineage.And she had indeed gone through it, to the point that she remained bedridden for an entire day and night.But this fever… was different.Stronger, longer, as if it was slowly draining her.So she concluded that the cause was the psychological stress from the kidnapping incident.That is what Iris thought when she regained consciousness after a fever that lasted three days.Her body was weak… weaker than anything she had ever known.She was now in the simple village hospital.And the same girl was sitting beside her.As soon as the little one saw that she had a

They froze in place. In the narrow alley, a huge man was holding another person by the clothes… Then— Stab. Once. Twice. And a third time… without mercy. The sound of flesh being pierced mixed with broken breaths, and drops of blood splattered onto the stone wall. Lety’s eyes widened, and her small body trembled. She opened her mouth to scream— But a warm hand quickly covered her lips. “No…” Iris whispered in a voice barely audible. Her heart was beating violently, but she forced herself to stay calm. Her eyes were fixed on the man… Who suddenly stopped. As if… he felt something. He slowly raised his head. And at that moment— Iris pulled Lety forcefully. She ran. With all her strength. Their footsteps were rushed, Lety’s breathing muffled under Iris’s hand, her tears falling silently. Iris did not dare to look back. But she could feel it. That cold sensation… As if eyes were chasing them from behind. They turned quickly through all

Iris almost screamed. It had happened too fast. Only a single moment stood between clearing her name… and this sudden request. Did he know she was innocent? And was he deliberately testing her?! It felt as though… he had been waiting for this moment. Unfortunately, she had been arrested early in the morning, so she had not even been given the chance to put on makeup or compose herself before the situation. It seemed he had been drawn to nothing more than her face… This face was becoming more troublesome with every passing day… This man… Didn’t he already have nearly two hundred concubines, each more beautiful than the last? What did he want from her specifically? Iris wanted to cry over her miserable situation. She blinked in confusion, then took a short breath before answering in the steadiest voice she could manage: “Your Majesty, I apologize, but a commoner like me does not deserve to stand beside Your Honored Majesty, so…” Silence filled the room for a moment. It w

They continued walking through the streets, and this time Iris did not try to suppress her curiosity. She looked around lightly, observing the details with bright eyes. Shops were lined up, colorful fabrics hung outside, and the smell of food filled the air. “Sister… look!” Liti said, pointing at a small shop full of sweets. Iris smiled faintly. “Not now.” “But—” “After we find a place to stay.” Liti sighed but nodded. … It did not take long before Iris found what she was looking for. A simple inn with a clean facade and a clear sign. “This looks suitable.” They entered. The reception hall was tidy, and a faint scent of herbs filled the place. Behind the counter stood a middle-aged woman, calm features and a kind smile. “Welcome,” she said. “Hello,” Iris replied. “Are you looking for a room?” “Yes.” The woman looked at Liti, then back at Iris. “One room is enough?” “Yes.” She handed them the key easily, without unnecessary questions. And that… relieved Iris mor
