2024-10-29 19:42:56Isaac knocked on Margaret's door and we both waited for her to open it for us. The sun was very strong and it was around two in the afternoon. Isaac grabbed my heavy backpack and pulled it off my back to put it on his. After the incident with Paola, I didn't think to go back to college anymore, but Isaac used all the charms he had and managed to convince me to go with him. For her part, Paola was not going to attend classes for a while and that made me sad although her position was perfectly understandable.
I felt someone's gaze on me and instantly looked back, yet there was no one there, not even a car. Being on that property brought back bad memories and any creaking in the garden would put my nerves on edge. Isaac noticed my nervousness and grabbed my hand.
“Relax nothing happens.”
I nodded and squeezed his hand.
“Are you sure you don't read my mind?”
"Sometimes yes," he replied with a smile.
Margaret opened the do

OBSSESION Foreword
I roll over in bed and close my eyes for five minutes, but all my efforts to sleep are useless because I'm thinking about her. Obviously another awake night awaits me so I get up from my bed at once and go to the desk. It is impossible for me not to spend hours and hours looking at her photos. I grab one of the photos on the table and start to appreciate them again, the photo was taken from behind while Kim was walking along the road.I remember that day perfectly, she looked totally carefree, with her hair down and listening to music with her headphones on. In the photograph you can only see her back, her long legs and her short hair, but it is more than enough to drive me crazy. She's a goddess. Everyone should realize how magnificent she is, but apparently they see her as a normal person. Anyway I prefer it that way because it will be mine and nobody else's.I put the photo on the wall and tape it, its place is next to the others. My photo collection is quite large
OBSSESION Chapter 1
I was very excited to read the new book that I had bought online. As soon as the package arrived at my house, I got comfortable in my room on the desk and started reading. My window was open and it offered me a very nice view of the landscape outside. It was a sunny afternoon in Puerto Cabezas and I could hear the birds singing in the distance. It seemed like the perfect time to immerse myself in my reading.I wasn't a romantic woman so the novels that revolved around a love story seemed very boring to me. The book I was reading was suspenseful and I was very intrigued, I was so immersed in the story that I was really scared when my alarm went off. I grabbed my phone and read the reminder. It was time to study. I turned the page I was reading and put the book on my desk.There was an unusual movement in the house next door because a new family was moving. Before leaving for college in the morning, I caught a glimpse of a moving truck that had brought their furniture, b
OBSSESION Chapter 2
The next day I was having breakfast quietly until I remembered that I had a neighbor to avoid, the event of the previous night invaded my brain and I couldn't help but feel ashamed. I didn't want to remember anything about what happened, but my brain was a specialist, forgetting the important things and repeating as a scratched disc the biggest shames of my life. And if it was shame, last night I had broken a new record.For nothing in the world did I want to see Ezra again, but now he was my neighbor and it would be difficult to hide from him. A temporary solution was not to go to the cafeteria or shop at the supermarket, but as much as I wanted to avoid it. I knew that sooner or later I would meet him again. It was a real shame.I went to one of the windows that looked towards his house and moved the curtain slightly. There was nobody in the garden and there was no sign of Ezra either. That was my moment. I grabbed my backpack and quickly went out on the road to take
OBSSESION Chapter 3
Somehow I walked up the road and got into a taxi, I didn't even go back to my section to pick up my bag, I wanted to scream and break something, but I bit my lower lip and kept quiet the whole way. The taxi was pretty fast, but the way back home seemed like forever.How did this happen? Why didn't I see the signs? I should never have dated Fernando. When I met him, he gave me a good impression, but it turned out to be the opposite of what I thought. I thought he loved me, but it was all a farce, he only saw me as a challenge, he thought that he could change my way of being, but he was wrong and I made the same mistake in thinking that I could change him. What a fool I was. The tears wanted to come out of my eyes, but somehow I kept them inside. All I wanted at the time was to lock myself in my room.I opened the door of my house and entered with slow steps. Without a doubt it would be very difficult to tell my mother what had happened, at first I had justified Fernando
OBSSESION Chapter 4
The sunlight invaded my entire room and I was forced to open my eyes. My routine as a college student was starting to bother me. Thank goodness I only had one more year to go to finish and get my degree so I needed to push myself a little harder. In a perfect world Fernando would withdraw from university and I could be calm, but it was obvious that this was not going to happen.I crawled out of bed and started to get ready, my mood was on the floor. I went down the stairs with a slow step, I wanted to go to the kitchen to make breakfast, but when I got to the living room I was struck by an envelope that was under the front door. Had someone left us a message? It must have been a mistake, my parents' clients never addressed them in such an informal way and no friend of mine would send me a note ignoring WhatsApp. I went over to investigate and opened the envelope, it was a typewritten letter and had my name written in capital letters on the back of the paper. I started r

The next day I woke up thinking about Isaac, it made me nervous just remembering his words. I had to summon the courage to confess my feelings to him, and I had to do it soon. I got ready as usual and just as I was about to leave the house I noticed another piece of paper lying under the door."It's impossible," I whispered puzzled.Was it another note from Isaac? A part of me was flattered. I took the page and read it without knowing what to expect:“I can't wait to see you, being away from you is a real ordeal for me, I already want to get close to you so I can caress your hair and touch your lips. Your vanilla perfume drives me crazy, everything in you drives me crazy. We'll be together soon."I stared at the door, but I was actually thinking about what I had read. It was a very romantic message and it made me feel a little strange because I didn't usually get that kind of attention. I opened the door and looked around, but no one was there so I

I grabbed my favorite mug and began to make myself an extra strong coffee, the sun had risen in all its splendor and the atmosphere felt very calm, the opposite to my mind that it was complete chaos. I could not sleep all night and therefore felt very tired. I could hear my parents talking in the living room while they watched the news, everything that happened was on the news, they were even talking about it on the radio. My classmates left me a thousand messages of support and Margaret offered me her apologies even though she was not to blame for anything. I sat in the dining room and started sipping my coffee while trying to decide what to do with my life.Isaac called me back for the millionth time, however I preferred to ignore my phone and let the call get lost. I had nothing to say and I didn't want to hear him because his voice could tear my self-control apart. Our relationship had ended and I was trying to convince myself that it was the best, it hurt me to know that
OBSSESION Chapter 20
I lost consciousness as a result of the fall and wandered in the darkness of my mind for a time that I could not define. When I started to open my eyes again I did not feel my body at all and did not remember anything about the latest events. I needed to lift my head and meet Ezra's blue eyes to remember my horrible situation, he was kneeling next to me with a bloody shoulder and staring at me as he turned the knife in his hand. I screamed in fear and wanted to run, however my body did not move a muscle, the pain began to run through my entire being and I had to ignore it to start crawling back. Ezra got up and began to slowly advance towards me while squeezing the handle of the knife.“All I did was give you love and you pay me like this” What he said was an abomination to my ears, “I sent you roses, I gave you a doll made especially for you, I wrote you thousands of love letters and I always made sure that you were fine. Has that asshole Isaac done somethi
OBSSESION Chapter 19
The birds did not stop singing and flying from one side to the other, I could see them through my window but that did not manage to lift my spirits because it reminded me of what I experienced the night before. I was lying on my bed watching the hours go by. It was a Saturday and I couldn't go to class to distract myself so I was just getting deeper into my misery.I grabbed a painting of Isaac and looked at it longingly. For four years he was my best friend, we shared many things together and although I secretly loved him I never thought there could be chemistry between the two and it turns out that I was very wrong. Since I met him, he caught my attention so I could not say exactly how long he had enchanted me, in fact it was very possible that I had always loved him without realizing it. The urge to cry invaded me but I held myself back because I wasn't going to fix anything by crying. I gave the photo a kiss and held it against my chest. I wanted to hug him and he w
OBSSESION Chapter 18
It was still very early and I was ready to go to college, my parents were still asleep and I had to take advantage of that to leave but I couldn't help feeling insecure, I watched the horror house through my side window and I didn't see any suspicious movements. I was eager to confront Margaret yet the opportunity had not presented itself.I sat at my desk and turned on my computer to review the recordings of the cameras in real time, I felt very safe inside my house but everything changed when I went out to the outside world. Ezra could be waiting for me around the corner, he could even show up at the university, he had no idea what he was planning and it was a risk I had to take. Everything looked normal outside so I shut down the computer and put all my fears aside to go to college.I waited for Isaac in the hall but he never came, the classes did not interest me in the least but I was hoping that he would show up so I decided to enter the section and take a seat in
OBSSESION Chapter 17
I fell on the roof that divided the two floors, but it was very slippery and I did not have time to hold on so I fell crashing to the garden floor. My back took the full impact of the fall and a stab of pain ran up and down my spine, inevitably making me scream. The pain was unbearable, I had never felt something so intense in my entire life. It all happened in a matter of seconds and in a way it seemed like a dream, but my suffering confirmed that it was very real. I wanted to run to safety, but I was not able to stand up, I did not even know what was happening to me. I crawled to the side and couldn't keep moving anymore because my body didn't respond to me, my face was up so I tried to concentrate on breathing while looking at the ceiling.“Kim!” Ezra was calling me from upstairs but he couldn't see me because the ceiling prevented him. I kept quiet and stopped making noise, however he stopped calling me and I knew he was going to come down to find me, th
OBSSESION Chapter 16
When I woke up the next day, everything that happened seemed unreal. I did not go to the university because I never thought to return, I could never feel at ease knowing that he was with me in the same section. Before all this chaos started the only important thing for me was to finish my degree and now I didn't care in the least. Isaac kept calling me but I didn't even go to my phone, I felt too hurt and one part of me had many things to reproach him while the other preferred not to know anything more about him.My parents had a very important appointment in court that they couldn't cancel so they left me alone and I preferred it that way because I needed silence. The sky was very cloudy and as expected it started to rain, I was wearing black pants and a long-sleeved black blouse that covered me up to the wrists, my hair was loose and I put on comfortable shoes.I sat at my desk and watched the raindrops through the window as I lost myself in thought. I felt very depr
