I looked at him slowly.

His cold eyes bore into me, sending another wave of terror through my body.

And whatever suspicion I had, his eyes confirmed.

Ivan mentioned there were two men.

What if… what if I was doubting the wrong man all along when…

I staggered my legs felt like jelly, barely able to support my weight, and my fingers tingled with the onset of numbness. Every nerve in my body screamed at me to run, but I couldn’t move. I was trapped, my mind and body betraying me.

"Are you alright, Ms. Rosewood?" Kyle’s voice dripped with false concern, his smile never reaching his eyes.

Heavily mocking realisation engulfed me.

I was in over my head, surrounded by darkness and danger.

Kyle's grip tightened again, and without another word, he began leading me down the hall.

Why? Why would he do that to me?

‘Your mouth, around my cock.’

Was it... because I refused to sleep with him? The horror of realization struck me like a lightning bolt. The stalking—oh God, the stalking—had begun that v

  • Serpentine Desires    The Prey

    My stomach lurched bile rising in my throat again as I emptied the contents in the toilet.I shut my eyes tightly as I tried to brush away the sight of those lifeless eyes, the paleness of the skin, the blood matted in the hair—it was a grotesque vision straight out of a nightmare.I tried to swallow but the lump of fear was trapped in my throat choked by terror making my body paralysed.I could still see the horrified face twisted in a final expression of fear as if the person had met their end in sheer agony. The bad, I didn’t want to think who it was. The worst, why would anyone send me… this?I didn’t know how or when I made it to the room and locked myself in the bathroom. I couldn’t look at them anymore. My scream woke up the dorm and soon the guards were there followed by several students, and to my horror, none of them could offer me any comfort. The horror on their faces mirrored mine, but it couldn’t compare to what I was feeling.My breath came in ragged gasps and I could f

  • Serpentine Desires    Prologue

    The biting Russian cold welcomed her as she stepped off the plane, a fleeting mist forming in the frigid air as she breathed out in nervousness.It clung to her senses, contrasting the warmth of Texas where her family was. She thought leaving behind the suffocating struggles would ease her stress. Instead, it only fuelled her anxiety more. She still didn't know what she was doing there or how she ended up in Russia. Her only answer was the scholarship letter and three hundred dollars that she exchanged at the airport earlier.Though she was told that the scholarship included her tuition fee and dorm, she still had to pay for yearly semester fees and living expenses.A sigh left her lips with mist as she dragged the luggage to the exit. The paper in her hand was wrinkled as she read the address written on it: Star Square-lane 25-building 56. She wondered how far it was.Her heart raced as she clutched the strap of her worn backpack. It was her first time visiting a foreign land all alo

    I was tired, so tired I couldn't even lift a finger. My back was screaming at me for being a superwoman last night and my buttocks were sore. God damnit! Not even a week and I already wanted to go back.Lord knew why I decided to be a saviour when I knew I was a blind owl. Couldn't even see without my glasses, and now, not only was I left with a broken elbow and sprained foot, but broken glasses too. I got them fixed before moving to Russia, and now it'd take another sum of money to repair them. Great. Looks like my clumsy ass come with a price tag – and not the discounted kind. Brilliant."You up, Dorogaya?" She walked through the bathroom door wearing nothing but a towel. I quickly averted my eyes, feeling my cheeks warming. Despite the Russian cold, Alina preferred wearing less clothes than a sunbathing lizard. "Had breakfast?"I continued packing my bag in a hurry, realizing I had less than twenty minutes left for class. "I don't have enough time for breakfast," I grabbed the assi

    "I'm so sorry, dear, but we need someone who can… understand… take… orders?"Rejection number six.I forced a tight-lipped smile, nodding as if I hadn't already heard variations of this all day. No matter how much I tried to explain, the answer was always the same. They needed someone local, someone fluent, someone who wouldn’t make their job harder. And honestly? I couldn't even blame them."It’s fine," I swallowed my frustration.But it wasn’t fine."Have a good day."I hesitated. That’s it? Not even a second of consideration? I needed this job—desperately. My fingers curled tighter around my bag strap as I bit back the urge to plead. Instead, I turned on my heel and walked out, head held high despite the burning sting of rejection gnawing at my chest.Lucky number seven, right?The bitter cold greeted me as I stepped outside, icy tendrils creeping through my jeans like little reminders of just how unprepared I was for this country. I shoved my hands into my pockets, rubbing them to

    I swallowed hard, suddenly not wanting to go in. He said child, but I feared that my assumptions would go to Pacific. Anyway, it was too late to back now. I was here for a job.The door opened quietly and a soft, dim light illuminated the room. I stepped in. Breaths caught in my throat. My heart pounding in my ears. The door closed behind me with a small thud, and I jumped startled.Swallowing down the nervousness, I took a look around. It was not a bedroom, but a large room bifurcated into an office and a mini-lounge. My nostrils twitched. Among the scent of leather and patchouli everywhere, there was a strong smell of tobacco mixed in it, but beyond that, there was a heavy odour of Oud. Somehow, it reminded me of the forest behind my house in Texas. So familiar yet distant. Something I was always scared to explore. Wild beasts and deadly creatures resided there.And this moment it felt like I was going into that forest. Something flickered in my periphery, my body instinctively mov

    I exited the taxi, my heart pounding with excitement and nerves."Thankyou," But instead of a friendly response, he waved his hand dismissively before snatching the bills from my fingers like a seagull swooping down on a French fry. Rude much.Shrugging off the coldness, both literal and figurative, I focused on the task at hand—$ 10,000. The deal was a potential game-changer.I looked at the location Kyle sent me and frowned. This area seemed somewhat... isolated from the city, and chillingly shady in more ways than one. The address led me to a remote spot, with nothing but a single mansion standing in the middle of the land covered with snow.A shiver ran down my spine as I neared, not just from the cold. There was an eerie stillness in the air, broken only by the distant howl of the wind. Goosebumps prickled my skin as an unexplainable sense of dread settled over me making me clutch the jacket tighter.My eyes widened in disbelief at the sight before me. A large, white and gold gli

    There was a little bird here. With fluttering wings and quivering eyes. Hypocritical and desperate. Weak and transparent.I had never been the one to be fleeted by small creatures. Not only useless, but they're often hard to tame."You scared her." While smirking, Kyle poured two glasses of Beluga and directed his gaze towards the useless contract. "You're cruel."So I had been told. The qualities I got from my dear father. No complains. I love the power control gave me. The feeling of being the one controlling rather than a powerless freak was intoxicating. In control, I felt alive. I set the pace. It was not a mere rush, but a necessity.Power was a necessity. Without it, I was just like that little bird—vulnerable, at the mercy of the winds. It was my armour, my shield against the chaos. It granted me control, and the ability to shape my world rather than be shaped by it. I couldn't afford to be weak, to let the small and fleeting dictate my fate. No. I needed to command, to domina

    Judas Romanovski, the elusive billionaire, made his first public appearance in over a year after a mysterious accident left him blind. Now poised to take over Romanovski Enterprises from his father, Alexei Volkov, speculation swirls that his injury wasn’t just a mishap but the result of corporate sabotage. His return only deepens the intrigue.I swallowed the piece of sandwich with difficulty. My eyes were glued to the book in front of me, but my ears perked with curiosity. So, he was factually blind.I still couldn't wrap my mind around the fact, but who was I to judge?"I just can't believe he has gotten so much handsome and such a daddy..." Alina sighed dreamily staring at the screen where Judas's picture was showing with him wearing an expensive pair of shades and his hunter eyes hidden, his lips set in a thin line, jaw-line chiselled from stone, his furrowed brows as he seemed to glare at the camera cast a shadow as if a storm was set to break.His hair was styled back, unlike t

    I had my first kiss when I was in high school, well, it was a kiss for me even if my lips barely touched his cheek.And that’s what I believed a kiss should feel like. That’s the distance I ever walked towards a male species. I thought Yuri was a kind boy, with deep brown eyes and sharp features. He was half-Japanese and everything I liked in a boy.But I never confessed.I couldn’t. Not when I saw the blonde girl hanging off his arms. I believed the crush should have come to an end. But I couldn’t. It hurt me to see him with her and when I didn’t see him, it hurt more.My friend convinced me it was just one-sided until Yuri cornered me at the gym. I was so flustered and shy that I couldn’t say anything. And when he arrogantly proposed I should confess to him, I refused. Not that I no longer liked him. No. It was the eeriness. The numbness inside me that halted me. Partly because I knew I was just a nerd wearing glasses, and he deserved someone like Christine, the blonde with him.But

    From my vantage point, I could see the raw power in his ruthlessness the way his muscles tensed and rippled under his skin. His grip on her throat tightened and loosened with intended precision, ensuring she was on the brink, never fully allowing her the breath she so desperately craved.My eyes widened. W-what was happening?"Harder, Judas!"I never realized a woman could look so helpless in a man’s arms.Judas pounded relentlessly from behind, and she gasped and grunted with twisted pleasure as he roughly played with her nipples. His tattoos glistened under the dim light, making the cuts of his muscles seem sinisterly dangerous. The suffocating scent of sex and lust reeked.My heart pounded in my chest as I watched, unable to look away.Her body writhed under his control, utterly at his mercy, and it filled me with dread. Each of his thrusts echoed through the room with the relentless rhythm that made my breath catch.I was terrified by how consumed they both seemed to be.His hunger

    I warned you.The words stared back at me. And I didn’t know what to do. There were two possibilities, it was either the stalker or whoever that strange was, or someone was playing with me. Whatever it was, I wasn’t going to be a scared lamb anymore. It was too much. No one had any business or right to frighten me like this.I decided to take control. First, I blocked the number. Whoever it was, they wouldn't get the satisfaction of seeing me scared anymore.I thought about calling the police, but then I remembered I was in a different country. The local authorities might not take a foreigner's complaint seriously, and involving the police back home would be complicated and slow.I needed to do something else.Staying alone in the university till this fest was over suddenly felt too risky. My thoughts turned to the dorms. They had security, and there would be people around. It was the safest place I could think of right now.I quickly wiped away my cheeks, not wanting to waste any tim

    I learned a thing or two today.I didn’t like these events. Not the people. Not the loud voices. And definitely not that motherfucker.And it was truly a strenuous task to not jump down the fucking stage, and slit his throat right then and there before cutting off his finger he was touching my little bird with. The rage boiled within me and I hated this new feeling.It was concerning I wanted to already see blood when I just caused mayhem two hours ago.Patience, I told myself. It would be so easy, so gratifying to end him now, but no. Not here. Not in front of all these eyes. There was a time and place for everything, and his time was coming. Soon."You’re glaring," I heard Kyle mutter, and I tore my gaze from the crowd where my little bird was. She thought she’d blend in with all these useless humans, and I wouldn’t notice her. I could see her in the back, trying to hide behind the mundane faces, but she stood out to me like a beacon.There was no way she didn’t know I’d be here. Wa

    I was nervous.To the point, I had been staring at my phone for the past two hours now.Ivan dropped a text earlier saying he wanted to show me something. And I dreaded that something. I had been avoiding him for two days now. After that night, I hadn't even gone to the mansion let alone answer any of Ivan's texts. It might seem rude on my part, but I wanted to be cautious."Can't fucking believe we have to hear the hour-long speech," The girl beside me muttered and I gave her a look over. Her distinct brown hair with purple streaks caught my eyes first, then her stripped blazer, and micro skirt that barely covered her thighs as she sat crossed leg beside me. I had seen her somewhere but I couldn't quite recall.The one sitting on her other side was a blonde. Wearing a pastel blue dress. And my mind clicked as she turned to look at her friend. Natalie? That was her name, right? They were the ones sitting in the library."Seriously, what's the point of this speech?" Natalie crossed her

    “Forgive me, Father... for I have sinned.”The soft flesh under my fingers was delightfully squishy sinking as my thumb pressed deeper and the screams grew louder.Ah, the screams.They usually whined in pain, but as much as I enjoyed their cries... lately... my preferences had become more specific, more... exquisite.I ached to hear these desperate pleas from the lips I had been fantasizing about, not from the worthless man beneath me. My ears craved a different melody. Something more feminine. From a certain brunette.It had become a bad habit of mine.Fantasising about her.And she was the reason I was visiting this damn place after a long time people refer to it as the house of God, but I wasn't there to present my meagre truths, nurtured by the illusion that occasional good deeds would earn a place with the Creator.No, that would mean I was just like them.I was in this damned place, and for some reason, I found my fingers itching to slice certain man's throat just as voices whi

    "How are you feeling?" Someone said something. Words. They were real—and not imagination. Soft voice. Concerned even. And then something touched my face.I flinched moving away. It was dark. Darkness was gnawing on me. I wanted it to stop. I wanted everything to stop. More importantly, I wanted the trembles in my hands to stop. I felt like I was drowning. Something was holding me down. Killing me slowly. So slowly.I was scared. And nothing was helping. He'd come back, his eyes screamed he'd be back."Sera?" My only reply was a muffled sob as I dug my palm against my mouth. "Talk to me, please."The voices grew louder, gentle but persistent. There but drowned in the clatter of my terror.I couldn't focus. I couldn't breathe. I wanted to breathe.To rip through my chest and squeeze out my lungs with bare hands. My heart pounded in my ears.And when I thought, I was reaching the bottom of the dark ocean, strong hands grabbed my shoulders and pulled me towards them. I screamed, thrashin
