ObsessionNatalia’s POV“You could come in for a quick drink,” I said as I ushered Reed in. I walked behind him admiring his muscular physique hiding behind the blue jean jacket he wore. I already started having nasty thoughts flooding my mind just from looking at him from behind. I felt My fountain water a little. I must have him all to myself, I said in my head. I kept staring at him like I had never seen a man before. “Is Mia around? Or Azek ?” His question snapped me back to reality. His question caught me off guard. I didn't have enough time to respond on time. “hello ??” he said again, snapping his fingers. “The name’s Natalia,” I said to him, raising my tone slightly. In a bid to regain composure. “Alright Natalia, is Mia home ?” he asked again. The repeated questioning was getting on my nerves. I frowned at him not noticing a lovely young blood like me. “You know I'm not that different from Mia,” I said seductively still giving him the puppy eyes. “Hmm, is that so?
Caught between two Reed's POV It has been days since I saw Mia.I have tried calling her, but she keeps ignoring my calls. I thought I was finally getting close to her. The way she smiled at me on our last date, I felt we ignited a new connection. Let alone how I keep bumping into Natalie, who is determined to get me laid. I guess Azek has finally won this fight over Mia. My mind ran through all the events happening in my life in the past few days. What is my next move, I asked myself. Why can’t I just have Mia, she is all I want and nothing more. I proposed a game to kick Azek out of Mia’s life, and he beat me in my game with my own rules. This is bad, now their love is on a high-speed trend towards being unbreakable.This realization made me exhausted, and I felt this weight of depression all over my entire being. My soul yearned for companionship with Mia. My evening was looking dull and gloomy, so I decided to move to a nearby bar. Maybe get some drinks and clear my head.
Natalia’s POV I woke up to Reed's screams piercing my ears drums. He screamed out of horror at what had happened the previous night. As I opened my eyes, I smiled at him. He looked stunning as ever. His broad shoulders and his muscular biceps looked like they were forged for cast iron. His nipples were hard they stood like cherries on his thick chest. I felt a brief flash of the emotions I experienced the night before. His arms holding my waist and squeezing my burst with grace and his hard nipples pressing on me. The sensations I felt as his lips and tongue did wonders to my soul. The thrust movements connect us in blissful explosive satisfaction. My mind drifted into the void, where my fantasies with Reed were explored and satisfied to their fullest. Nothing could take Reed away from me as he was working My eternal grasp. His screams shortened my daydream. “Natalia! What did you do!” Reed screamed as he jumped out the bed. I looked at him with care and a smiles. “Calm down
Deep thinking Reed's POV As I sat in my apartment, my mind flooded with loads of thoughts of my conflicted feelings for Mia and her sister Natalia. I was caught stuck, and still couldn't make up my mind. Mia has always been in my heart, and she has been the one I have longed to be with for years. The memories of our high school friendship kept rising before me. Natalia, on the other hand, came to me when I needed someone the most. My lowest time she came bearing fruits of companionship and comfort. She has never left my side ever since, even after seeing my disregard for her self-love. Natalia has started creeping into my mind died to the perfect sexual connection I experienced with her. I had the map of her body engraved in my Brain. Each time I see her body, I tend to forget about Mia for a second, but once I have satisfied my lustful desires with Natalia, I fall back to dreaming about Mia. The unending loop of emotional torment and torture. My mind was breaking into a million
Natalia's POV I cried my eyes out that night. Reed had made me feel so worthless that I felt I could never be lovable. His mind gesture for us to have a good time and deepen our connection turned out to be the starting point of our relationship failure. All I ever did was show him selfless love and unconditional care. Yet, his mind still clings tightly to his unrealistic desires for music. His words said a different thing, and his mind thought differently. His actions were entirely different from the previous two. My sanity was sinking in rejection, pain, and negligence. Was this how my love life was going to be? I felt I could change him but over the last weeks, I realized that I could change years of desires with a few weeks of wants. Despite my drive and bold efforts to get him to let go of his illusion of Mia being with him, his obsession got the better of him. I hated myself for thinking I could woo him to call in love for me. I invested my entire soul and body into the rela
Chloe's POV As I stared at the ceiling engulfed in my thoughts, Amber, my mum walked into my room with an expression of disappointment and anger. She seemed like She was getting impatient. Our plan to separate Mia and Azek had failed. “It's been more than two weeks and Azek thinks his safe right” Amber said to me as she clenched her fist and grinded her teeth. She was bent on getting Azek certainly. “I would have a better job myself, you just don't know the ropes” Amber yelled at me. She was frustrated that I didn't execute the plan effectively. She couldn't do it herself as she was old and a bit off class for Azek. “Back in the day, any target I had, I always get them no matter what. I don't spare anyone." She puffed in frustration violently. She passed around the room thinking of a better plan. I struggled with the strong urge to tell her off and quit her using me as a pawn. I wanted to live a decent life, nuts as Mia was living. Get responsible, fall in love with my own foun
Reed's POV The realization of my crumbling relationship with Natalia hit me so hard that I remained mute for minutes. I sat in Natalia's apartment for a long time just thinking about all that had happened in the last two hours. Losing a Natalia felt like the biting pain you would get from swimming in a larva. Carrying this weight of my love for Mia was drowning me and preventing me from keeping my relationship with Natalia afloat. The facts showed that I couldn't be with Mia, but I just found myself reminiscing about Mia in all possible ways. It was driving me crazy. My coordination diminished as I put too much brainpower in my thoughts for Mia. I just sat there like a helpless child rejected by the warm embrace of its mother. Natalia was almost like a mother in a lover to me as she cared so much about me. My depression grew fast, I couldn't forgive myself for how I treated Natalia.I remembered how I flopped my efforts in bringing my relationship with Natalia back on track. “Mia
Reed’s POV A plan to make Mia cling to me? This sounded too good to be true. My dreams and deepest desires were a phone call away. My torment suddenly came to pause. The depression vanished for a second giving space to breathe. Why would this lady just decide to help me out of the blue? Who is she, and how is she in any position to help me? Can I trust her? My mind deviated from my depression, pondering over my sudden encounter with this strange lady. As I watched her walk away. The liquor in my system, made me see her like an angel sent to elevate me from my misery and bring a blissful future where Mia and I are bonded together in love. My prayers were finally coming to reality. It was almost midnight, I needed to get home. I tried standing up, but my body felt heavy like I didn't own it. The after-effect of liquor had started kicking in. I struggled to stand up, dragging my feet across the room and out the door. The lady I just met was no longer in sight. I was certain that I j
Mia's POV I fell into a fitful sleep, still wrapped in the warmth of Azek. However, my mind decided otherwise and decided to betray me with a nightmare.I found myself standing in a cold, wet cell. The blackness wrapped itself around me like something palpable. Chloe stood before me, her eyes shone with evil, and her wrists and ankles were bound in thick chains.She began laughing maniacally."You think you're free now?" Chloe sneered her words spewing with the venom of a snake. "Just you wait."Her chains rattled as she took a step closer, her eyes burning with hatred."You will never be free from me, Mia," Chloe hissed. "I will always be inside you, haunting you."Trying to step back, my feet felt rooted to the spot. Chloe's laughter grew louder, more menacing.Then, in a burst of images, Azek's face appeared before mine, and the love and protection emanating from him cut through the darkness.I felt a surge of strength as I stood tall and faced Chloe."You'll never win," I whisper
Author's POV The police walked to Azek, with a gloomy outlook."Mr. Azek, you need to go down to the station with us to make a statement," one of the police said.Mia clung tighter to his arm."But he has just been discharged from the hospital," Mia said in protest. "He needs rest."The officer's expression softened just a little."I know, ma'am, but we have a backlog of cases, and we need to act fast. Your statement, Mr. Azek, is the key to having a solid case against Chloe ."Azek carefully freed himself from Mia's clutches."I'll be okay, Mia," he said. "I will go with them and just get it over with."Mia looked at him with concerned eyes."Are you sure?" she asked.Azek nodded. "I'll call Daniel to meet me at the station, and I'll have him keep an eye on things. And I'll also call Natalie to come keep you company."Mia's face relaxed a fraction. "Okay," she said, her voice barely audible.Azek drew her into a light embrace."I'll be back soon, promise. And Chloe will be locked
Azek's P.O.V."No, Azek," she cut in, her voice firm. "You're not going anywhere. You're still recovering and I won't risk losing you again."I blew a raspberry, frustration bubbling."Mia, Chloe's getting closer. I need to""Tell the police," Mia said, an edge in her voice silky smooth and firm. "Let them take care of it. You aren't in any condition to go after her."I knew Mia was right, but something inside me was screaming for me to act."Mia, I-""Azek, listen to me," Mia said, her eyes pleading. "You're not Superman. You can't save everyone, let alone when you're still recovering. Let the police do their job."I took a deep breath then, knowing that at this stage, Mia was right; I shouldn't take any risks regarding my health."Okay," I finally said, digging out my phone. "I'll call Daniel and he can let the police know."Mia's face relaxed now, as if in relief."Thank you," she said softly, still holding onto my hand.As I typed in Daniel's number, Liam and Lewis looked up at me
Azek's POV I lay there, eyes closed, feigning sleep, as the nurse came closer. She wasn't buying it, though."Mr. Azek, I know you're awake," she said, her voice soft yet serious. "It's time for your physical therapy. We need to get those muscles moving."I finally opened my eyes, catching her bright stare."I don't want to do it," I growled, frustrated and embarrassed.The nurse was sympathetic but smiling. "I know, but believe me, it is part of your recovery process. You want to get back to your family, don't you?"Her words hit home. Mia's voice still echoed in my head, and the thought of being separated from her and the boys just added to my determination.I nodded, clenching my teeth. "Let's get this over with."She got me to a sitting position, and the painful process of exercising my now-weakened muscles began. Every movement hurt, but I kept on going, fueled by this voice in my head that was Mia's.As we worked, my mind strayed to Chloe and the menace she was. I knew I needed
Mia’s POV All through the night I tossed around on my bed, finding it difficult to get some rest. My mind was filled with thoughts and emotions, all pointing to the well-being of Azek. His voice and words from the call, echoed in my mind repeatedly, waking me to a reality filled with dread and trauma. The Determination in his voice gave me a sense of comfort. Despite all he had been through He still wanted to provide protection and safety for his family. I spent the entire morning alone in my room, before proceeding to roam the house as everything around me reminded me of Azek. Shortly after, the boys came running to me, as they hadn't seen me since the morning became bright. “Hey Mom, I need some cereal,” Liam asked politely staring at me with big puppy eyes. I gave him a soft glance and smiled “Sure honey, you can have some” I said to him stroking his hair gently. The boys were clueless about the emotional stress I was currently under. I couldn't blame them, after all, they we
Reed’s POV“You better cooperate with the police” the prison Warder yelled at me as he unlocked my cell. Since my arrival at the prison, he had always treated me like I was some hardened criminal. But deep down I felt immense remorse for all I had done. I allowed my emotions to push me into signing a deal with the devil without weighing the consequences. I sat on the bunk bed, soaking in the guilt that ate my sanity slowly. All I could think of was the people I had hurt in the course, of executing the will of Chloe. The prison warder informed me that I had an interrogation session with an inspector. Before this, I had undergone multiple interrogation sessions, each one more dreadful than the last. “Hey, step out of the cell and walk down the hallway to the last room on your left” the prison warder directed me like I didn't know the drill. He finished his sentence, but I didn't make any move, I just sat there burying myself in guilt and self-hate. I just wanted to be left alone. “Mo
Chloe's POV“What is wrong with Marcus?” I asked myself these questions expecting a vivid answer, but they remained floating around in my mind. All my efforts in contacting Marcus kept heating dead ends. The psychological pressure made me flutter, draining my confidence and gradually bringing me to the brink of anxiety and fear. Failure wasn't an option at this point, additionally I had come too far to give up now. My conversation with my mom led me to see the eruption of the concealed desperation she has been holding in. Over the course of days, my mom has been calling to pester me. Always questioning my next move, the more I listened to her, the depressed I became. Her alliance with Mr. and Mrs. Mendez made it difficult to think as they were constantly on my neck. Constantly reminding me of my failed past efforts. After some time of thinking about my messed up life, I got a call from the contact I requested to contact Marcus. My phone rang loudly, breaking the silence I sat in.
Mia's POV “Lewis! Liam! Can you both come downstairs and have your breakfast ?” I yelled from the sitting room to the boys who were upstairs playing in their rooms. It was a bright morning, and the light from the sun cast a Golden hue on the house. The tension I and the boys felt on our arrival, had faded into a more comfortable feeling. It was indeed a safe house. As I prepared breakfast, my thoughts drifted into the trauma I experienced at the hospital. Flashbacks of Azek surrounded by nurses and doctors trying to save his life, replayed in my mind. These thoughts drained me emotionally. I had done so many things trying to get my mind off my anxiety, but all my efforts to achieve peace of mind proved fruitless. I guess being the soul Bond between family at critical times was exhausting. Despite the settled feeling of comfort and safety, my mind was still roaming, my heart pounding with anxiety about Azek’s condition. I wasn't sure if he had been moved or if he was still at
Azek's POV “Daniel ?” I asked more to myself than him. I tried to sit upright but the intense pain that surged through my body made it difficult to move. My memory will still foggy, the headache intensified, and my stomach twisted with worry. The young man, who had introduced himself as Daniel was a familiar face. But my current mental State didn't allow me to think. According to his introduction, he knew me and my family, so I decided to ask him about Mia. “Where is Mia ?” I asked him, my voice slightly elevated and strained, “you have to tell me where she is”.Daniel gave a loud sigh before answering me and his face laced with worry and concern. “Stop bothering your mind” he said, “you have to be calm” “Why were they hiding Mia's location from me” I asked myself. Everybody kept telling me to be calm. I was gradually getting to the limit of my patience, as all my efforts to get to Mia proved fruitless. Daniel noticed my anger. He glanced at me with hesitation and concern, she
