Bright Lights
I was a full-blown possessive psychopath, and so was the person I loved.
By day, I worked diligently as his poker-faced secretary. By night, I used a burner account to flood him with messages, harassing him without restraint.
After he rejected yet another one of my confessions through those texts, I took advantage of my position and impulsively installed 138 surveillance cameras in his home.
I watched Cassian from every possible angle for an entire month. It was fun until I realized he seemed to be planning to imprison his crush.
I was green with envy as I continued messaging him through my burner account. I even offered suggestions.
"I once bought a set of incredibly practical chains. They're perfect for imprisonment. I guarantee that once your crush steps into your house, she'll never be able to leave. In exchange for sharing this great find, could you be my puppy for a month? Just one month."
I waited for a long time after sending him the link to the chains. Alas, no reply ever came.
Just when I thought Cassian would never respond to my alt account again, I woke up one day to find that I had been imprisoned.
The chain bound around my ankle was exactly the one I had recommended. It didn't just end there, as I now had the dubious honor of being filmed by all 138 cameras I had installed in Cassian's home.
I froze, completely stunned.
'What's going on? I'm the one Cassian wanted to imprison? I'm his crush?'
As shock coursed through me, Cassian finally replied to my burner account. "Your chains work very well. Still, I'm sorry. I can't be your puppy. I only like my secretary."
