JUDY’S POV

The days following our confrontation were tense and suffocating. I carried a heavy sense of injustice in my heart, but I swallowed my grievances with clenched teeth, unwilling to let Chris see how deeply I was affected.

Every interaction between us was a delicate balancing act, each word and gesture tinged with an undercurrent of hostility. Our relationship, already strained, plummeted to an all-time low, frozen in a state of silent animosity.

Chris’ response to our fractured connection was swift and severe. His need for control seemed to multiply with every passing day. Deciding that he could no longer trust me, he took drastic measures to assert his dominance—he confined me to my room.

The walls that had once felt like a haven now closed in on me like a prison, their familiarity warped into a constant reminder of my captivity.

“You’re not going anywhere,” Chris said coldly when I protested. “This is for your own good. You need to understand your place.”

His words stung,

    CHRIS’ POVJudy occupied my thoughts ever since I confronted her and received nothing but silence. Her refusal to answer infuriated me, and I felt compelled to punish her. How dare she hide things from me? No matter the secret, I was determined to uncover it. Why was she protecting that snake, Jason?As I made my way home, something unusual caught my attention—a faint noise coming from Judy’s room. Her window was slightly open, the muffled sound of voices spilling out. Suspicion clawed at me as I approached quietly.What was going on in there?My hands clenched into fists, knuckles white with anger. Jason was inside with Judy. That alone was enough to ignite the fury burning in my chest, but what truly enraged me was his audacity to come here and meddle in matters that didn’t concern him.How dare he approach her? Why after so many days did he decide to come here and sneak onto my property?I leaned closer to hear, straining to catch their words. Judy’s voice was soft, tinged with emo

    JUDY’S POV“Not what she thinks?” Chris cut in, his voice dripping with contempt. “Don’t bother trying to weasel your way out of this, Jason. You can’t talk your way around the truth.”Jason turned back to me, desperation evident in his eyes. “Yes,” he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. I was appalled.“At first, I approached you because of your connection to Chris. My father… he wanted information. But it wasn’t about you, Judy. It was never about hurting you.”I took a step back, my hands flying to my mouth. Tears welled in my eyes as I stared at him, disbelief etched into every line of my face. “You lied to me,” I said, my voice breaking. “All this time, you were using me?”“No!” Jason protested, his voice rising in urgency. “That’s not true anymore. Judy, I swear, I fell in love with you. Everything changed after I got to know you. I couldn’t go through with my father’s plan because I cared about you too much.”I shook my head, tears spilling down my cheeks. “How can

    JUDY’S POVChris had been keeping an eye on me ever since reluctantly agreeing to let me resume a semblance of normalcy in my life. Initially, I wanted to believe his lingering presence stemmed from guilt or a need to protect me, but as time passed, it became clear that his motives were far more unsettling.No matter where I went—the crowded streets, my favourite café, or a quiet walk in the park—Chris’ looming figure was never far from sight. His intense, watchful eyes followed me like a shadow, growing more oppressive with every passing day.At first, I dismissed it as paranoia, until one afternoon when I spotted him parked across the street from the library. He wasn’t hiding; his gaze was deliberate and unwavering. My heart raced with anger as I realised this wasn’t care—it was control.Seething with frustration, I resolved to confront him. Once back at home, my anger bubbled over. I stormed out of my room, my footsteps echoing in the quiet hallway as I made my way to his study, d

    CHRIS’ POVAs Judy’s words lingered in the air, my heart pounded in my chest. The confession that had been building for so long had finally slipped from her lips. “I love you,” she said, the vulnerability in her voice cutting through the tension like a knife. It was a truth I had always known, but hearing it from her, in this moment, stirred something deeper inside me.I was overwhelmed. I had spent so much time pushing her away, wrestling with my own emotions, trying to suppress the ache in my chest that came every time I looked at her. But now, hearing her finally speak those words—it was like a dam had broken. My hands trembled as I reached for her, unable to hold back the flood of emotions that surged through me.However, she was pushing me away. Of course, I could understand how she felt. She had born more hardships than I could have ever imagined.Humiliation, disgrace, alienation and pain.Nonetheless, today I didn’t care about anything. I would definitely reciprocate her lov

    JUDY’S POVAll the anger I had held onto, the frustration that had built up between us, seemed to dissolve the moment Chris' lips met mine. The kiss was unexpected, yet it carried a raw intensity that left me momentarily stunned. Chris wasn’t like this—at least, not with me. His kisses had always been calculated, a show of control, a way to remind me who held the power. But this time, it was different.There was no force, no dominance—just pure, unfiltered emotion. His hands cradled my face with a tenderness I hadn’t experienced from him before, and his lips moved with a deliberate slowness, as if savouring the moment, as if afraid it might slip away. My mind raced, caught between the desire to pull away and the undeniable pull of his touch.“Chris—” I tried to protest, but my voice faltered, lost in the flood of sensations overwhelming me.He silenced me with another kiss, deeper this time, more urgent. His fingers slid from my face to my waist, pulling me closer until I could feel

    JUDY’S POVChris stood before me, his expression a mixture of pride and authority as he held the delicate necklace in his hands. It shimmered in the soft light, its intricate design as exclusive and commanding as the man holding it. He stepped closer, his eyes locking onto mine with a possessiveness that made my breath hitch.“This,” he said, his voice low and resolute, “is to prove that you belong to me. Now and in the future.”I blinked, taken aback by the statement. His words lingered in the air, heavy with meaning. Belong to him? I wasn’t some object to be claimed, some trophy to be adorned with his mark. My immediate instinct was to protest.“I am not a dog to wear a collar, Chris.”I kept my tone low, yet firm. What did he think about himself? After making love and taking my virginity, he was going to bound me to him even more?Here he was, not paying attention to the way I was feeling and he kept on insisting. Well, he never gave up, did he? “Hold still,” he ordered, his ton

    JUDY’S POVAfter Christmas, my family packed up and moved away from Chris’ home. The decision, though necessary, felt like ripping out a piece of my soul. Each step I took away from that place, each item I boxed up, carried a weight that settled heavily in my chest. As I stood in my room for the last time, my gaze fell upon the necklace Chris had given me.The delicate piece of jewellery shimmered under the soft light, mocking me with its elegance. It wasn’t just a necklace—it was a symbol of everything I wanted to leave behind: the control, the love that felt both intoxicating and suffocating, the man who could bring me to the highest peaks of joy and the deepest pits of despair. Chris thought that I had accepted the necklace because he was persisitent and I was obedient. However, the fact was that, I chose to accept after him forcing me because I knew I was going to move. I just needed a bit of patience.It would be a big shock to him and his ego would be shattered when he would

    CHRIS’ POVI had originally believed that after having sex that day with Judy—after we gave in to each other in ways that transcended words—everything would fall into place. I thought that moment was a turning point, a confirmation of our unspoken connection. Unfortunately the reality was far from what I had imagined.Judy rejected the necklace I gave her, my exclusive mark of devotion. To me, it wasn’t just a piece of jewellery—it was a promise, a statement that she was mine and I was hers. However, her refusal was loud and clear: she didn’t want to be with me. I could see it in her eyes, the way she looked away when I tried to meet her gaze, her lips pressed into a firm line of quiet defiance.Of course, I wasn’t willing to accept her refusal. I forced the necklace onto her, fastening it around her neck with trembling hands. I knew, even as I did it, that it was the wrong way to handle things. Yet my pride wouldn’t allow me to ask her to wear it willingly. It was easier to insist

There was something about the way he watched me, his eyes dark with hunger, that set my pulse racing. It reminded me of that day at his place, the way we had lost ourselves in each other without a care in the world—even when the servants might have caught a glimpse. However tonight, there were no prying eyes, no interruptions. It was just the two of us, wrapped in this intimate connection that defied distance.I obeyed him, slowly peeling away the layers of my clothing, his instructions guiding my movements.

Even through the small screen, his presence was undeniable—his sharp features illuminated in a way that made them look almost softer, more inviting. But it was more than just his appearance. There was something in the way he filled the space between us, commanding my attention effortlessly, making everything else fade into the background. The world outside the frame seemed to lose its meaning the moment he looked at me.“How was the party?” he asked, his tone casual but with an undertone of curiosity that I knew all too well.I hesitated for a moment, uncertain of how much to reveal, but then the words spilled out, and I bega

The memory of past bullying clung to me like an unwelcome ghost, its whispers reminding me that staying away would be the safer, easier choice.But what if history repeated itself? What if I walked into that room, exposed and hopeful, only to face the same ridicule or exclusion I had endured before? The wounds from Jason’s betrayal still ached, scars etched into my confidence, reminding me of how trust could be shattered so easily. Now, the idea of stepping into a space teeming with unfamiliar faces felt like walking into a battlefield unarmed. Anxiety curled in my chest, warring with the faint hope that maybe this time, things could be different.But Chris’ words kept playing in my mind: Go, enjoy yourself, and take care of yourself. His encouragement had given me a strange sense of validation, and I wanted to prove to myself that I could ste

    CHRIS’ POVWhen Judy’s voice drifted through the phone, soft and hesitant, confessing that she missed me, my chest tightened in a way I hadn’t felt in a long time. Those words, simple yet profound, struck a chord so deep it left me momentarily speechless. For days, I had replayed every argument, every moment of tension between us, wondering if I had pushed her too far, if I had lost her for good. Yet here she was, admitting that she missed me.It wasn’t just the words themselves—it was the way she said them, laden with vulnerability and an honesty that seemed to cost her dearly. I could hear the tremor in her voice, the hesitation that spoke volumes about how hard it had been for her to admit it. My heart swelled with a mixture of relief and happiness, emotions I hadn’t allowed myself to fully embrace in weeks.Still, I couldn’t resist teasing her a little, wanting to test the waters of this newfound vulnerability. “How much did you miss me?” I asked, keeping my voice light, though

    JUDY’S POVWow! The silence stretched between us like a fragile thread, taut with all the emotions I was too afraid to voice. I fiddled with the hem of my shirt, staring at the muted glow of my phone, my heart thundering in my chest. Chris was still on the other end of the line, waiting, his quiet patience making the moment feel heavier.And then, before I could stop myself, the words slipped out, soft but laden with truth, “I missed you too.”There was a pause, just long enough for my face to flush with the realisation of what I had said. I didn’t plan to admit it—it wasn’t even fully clear to me until the words had left my lips. However it was true. Despite everything that had transpired, despite the confusion, the anger, and the hurt, I missed him. I missed his voice, his steady presence, the way he made me feel both safe and unsteady at the same time.It wasn’t simple longing; it was far more complicated than that. I missed him because, for better or worse, Chris had seen throu

    JUDY’S POVMy thumb had lingered over the glowing answer button, wavering as a storm of emotions churned inside me. It had been so long since I had distanced myself from his cryptic and alluring world, a choice that had built an invisible wall between us. In all this time, he hadn’t reached out—not once—and I had convinced myself that this silence was a blessing in disguise. Perhaps it was easier to leave the past untouched, to let our connection fade into an uneasy stillness. Yet now, as his name lit up my screen, the fragile equilibrium I had crafted felt ready to shatter.The silence between us had been both a balm and a burden—a space I needed to rebuild myself but one that also left an ache in my chest.Finally, I pressed accept.“Hey,” I said cautiously, my voice betraying none of the turmoil inside me.“Hey,” Chris replied. His voice was calm, smooth, and disarming as always, a distinct contrast to the tension I felt.“How’s it going?” he asked, his tone as casual as if we w

    CHRIS POVIn truth, I had never seen Judy as a mere plaything. That perception would diminish the complexity of what I saw in her—the depths she tried to hide, the unspoken desires she buried so deeply even she seemed unaware of them. I understood because I recognised a reflection of myself in her. The same struggle, the same yearning for freedom mixed with the fear of surrendering control. It wasn’t about dominance; it was about unveiling something raw and real, something she hadn’t yet allowed herself to confront.But I had gone too far. That much was clear. Bringing her into my world, exposing her to a side of me she hadn’t asked to see—it was reckless. Even now, I could still see the conflict in her eyes, the way she hesitated before walking out of my place. Part of her wanted to stay, I was certain of it. But the larger part was terrified. I hadn’t anticipated that fear. Or maybe I had and ignored it, convinced that she just needed a push to see things my way.After she left,

    JUDY’S POVThe silk ropes brushed against my skin, their softness betraying the firm grip they had on my wrists and ankles. My breathing quickened as Chris tied the final knot, his movements deliberate and steady. I had agreed to this, albeit hesitantly, as part of my attempt to understand the pull Chris had over me and, perhaps, over myself. However now, as I lay bound and blindfolded, I could feel every nerve in my body coming alive in ways I hadn’t anticipated.The blindfold darkened my world, plunging me into an unfamiliar void. Without sight, every sound seemed louder, every touch magnified. I could hear Chris moving around the room—his footsteps, the subtle rustle of fabric, the soft creak of furniture. My heart pounded against my ribcage, torn between curiosity and apprehension."Are you okay?" Chris’ voice came from somewhere close, deep and reassuring.I nodded, my words failing me. The silk around my wrists wasn’t painful, but it held me firmly in place, leaving me both vul

    JUDY’S POV“I swear, I’ll make it up to you and I know it’ll take time…”Just when I thought that Chris would continue, that was the time when he decided to change the atmosphere in the room. I looked up to him and said nothing. Then, to my amazement, he gives me his hand to help me get up. “Come, I’ll guide you through the props.”Chris proved to be an exceptional guide, walking me through the intricacies of every detail with a clear and engaging explanation. His knowledge seemed boundless as she dived into the specifics of dungeons, dungeon masters, and the intricately designed scene rooms, each carefully curated with a unique array of props tailored to enhance the ambiance of its theme. Throughout the visit, his gaze rarely left me, his attention more focused on my reactions than on the explanations themselves. We passed through a variety of rooms, each with its own distinct purpose and aesthetic, until we arrived at one that caught my attention. Chris paused here, his tone s
