His Dangerous Obsession ( Kill For You).

Ines “Mom, I think that I am going to get married very soon” I grinned, fiddling with the hem of my shirt. My mom harrumphed. “That good-for-nothing boy is about to propose to you or he has proposed to you already and you accepted!” She sounded alarmed. My face contorted in a frown as my brows furrowed in confusion. “Mom, no, you should be happy for me and…..” Before I could complete my words, she interjected, yelling at me. “Ines, can you even think straight for a second? I didn’t raise you to be this dumb! How do you house someone who just milks you for your money, the only thing that he does is stick to you like a leech” My mum continued. “He doesn’t have a job, neither is he bothered about having one! All he does is watch anime and play video games and you dare to say that you are getting married soon” I paused in my tracks, heaving an exasperated sigh while trying to contain my rage at the same time. “Mom, Lucas is just going through that phase where he…..” My mom interjected again. “Wait for a second, don’t tell me that you accepted his proposal?” Exhaling sharply, I shook my head. “No!” I said blatantly. I heard as she heaved a sigh. “Thank God, I almost had a heart attack earlier. I knew that you wouldn’t be so dumb to accept his proposal” With a smile creeping through my face. “I didn’t accept his proposal because I am the one proposing to him tonight” As soon as I uttered those words, silence pervaded between us and when I attempted to speak, she yelled at me, cussed at me, and hung up the call on me. “Mom, one day you would like Lucas and see him for who he truly is” I muttered under my breath, taking tiny steps towards the apartment that Lucas and I shared. Discarding my mom’s words, I couldn’t help but imagine the most precious smile that would be plastered on Lucas’s face as soon as I proposed to him. I just wanted him to know how much I loved him and how much I was willing to stick to him to the very end. My mom disliked Lucas because she thought that he was just with me for my money. But the truth was, I had known Lucas since my days in high school. I have seen the way that he would always steal glances at me through the corner of his eyes and when he came out of his shell and told me that he loved me, I knew that he was the one. Alas! I was right because apart from my mum and siblings, he meant the whole world to me. Lucas didn’t have a job at the moment— not like he ever had one. But, I honestly didn’t care because I was ready to do everything for him. I just wanted him to be happy and I wanted him to know how far I was willing to make him happy. My phone buzzed, jolting me out of the thoughts that I was starting to get plummeted in. It was a message from my best friend, Leo, and at that moment, I already deciphered that my mum must have called him to tell him about what I planned on doing. I switched off my phone because I knew that he was about to badmouth Lucas and now wasn't the time for it. They all hated Lucas and their hate blinded them from seeing the kind of amazing person that he was but one thing that I was well assured of was that one day, they would get to know the kind of amazing person that he was. Lucas was my soulmate! The image of his face flashed through my head as soon as I drowned in my fantasy land while clutching the bouquet tightly. I couldn’t imagine how surprised he would be when he discovered that I was finally back in Switzerland. Earlier he had whined about me missing his birthday today but what he didn’t know was I was already on a flight back to Switzerland. “Should I genuflect at the door and tell him would you marry me or should I just shove the bouquet to his face and sing him a birthday song?” I said excitedly to myself, swirling around as butterflies flew in my stomach. I raised my head, staring at the stars that sparkled like the rarest jewels. Those stars reminded me of Lucas’s eyes and how they would sparkle more brightly as soon as he set eyes on me. I missed his lips, missed slipping my fingers through his hair, and most importantly, I missed those huge arms that always made me feel safe. I missed Lucas! Darting my eyes off the stars, I fixed my gaze back to our apartment and somehow, I couldn’t help but notice that the lights were off, and at the same time, I could hear the sound of a classical song that emanated from the insides of the house. “He must have fallen asleep or he must be meditating” With a bright smile on my face, I attempted to ring the doorbell but somehow, I was taken aback when I noticed that the door was slightly open. My brows tugged together in confusion, tilting my head to the left as different thoughts coursed through my mind at that moment. Now that I think about it, it was kind of odd that the door was left open and at the same time, it was odd that he was listening to classical music. My pulse sped up when the realization hit me that something bad could have happened to Lucas. What if he was robbed? I kicked the door open as my heart palpitated with fear while turning the switch on. However, at that very moment when the whole room brightened, the bouquet that I clutched fell from my hands, trying to make sense of what was happening. My eyes fell on the rose petals that were arranged in a way that led to the bedroom and a bold inscription on the wall that was adorned with flowers which read, “WELCOME HOME MY LOVE” My heart raced like galloping horses, not being able to contain my excitement. Did he know that I was going to be back from the trip today? But how? Even my mum and Leo had no idea that I would be back today until I told them that I was back in the country. I squealed excitedly. “Not only is my boyfriend the best but he is a psychic who knows what my heart entails” “This night is going to be wild” I muttered to myself, following the trail of petals. However, with every step that I took towards the bedroom, my stomach tied a knot and somehow, I felt the urge to puke and at the same time, I didn't want to miss out on the amazing surprise that Lucas had prepared for me. All of a sudden, I froze on the spot as cold air gushed through my skin. I heard something! I was so damn sure that I heard something! Was I being delusional right now because there was no way that I could have heard something like that? “It must be because I am stressed” I bobbed my head, swallowing the lump that formed beneath my throat. A faltering smile crossed my face. “Mom and Leo are trying to get into my head” I had barely taken a step when the sound that I heard got clearer and for a second, I wondered if I had stepped into the wrong house. Swiveling my gaze around the whole hallway, I couldn't help but reassure myself that I was in my house. Slowly, the sound that I had heard faded in the background and I heaved a sigh of relief, concluding that I was just being delusional. Mustering the courage inside of me, I placed my hands on the doorknob, pushing the door open as I screamed. “Luca…….” My words trailed off as the sound of moaning echoed through my ear. I had to rub my hands on my eyes to ensure that my eyes weren’t malfunctioning because it was starting to seem like they were. “What are you doing here, Ines?” Lucas covered himself with the blanket while ... .while…. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to escape the reality before me. Trying to escape the fact that I didn’t just see my co-worker, the one I considered my sister, sucking my boyfriend off in a deep throat. “This isn’t happening” I began hitting my hands on my head, pursing my lips at the same time while trying to control the tears that pressed at the back of my eyelids. It is all an illusion. It is all an illusion, Ines. “Lucas is my soulmate, he wouldn’t do something like this to me” However when Lucas’s words broke my train of thought and when my eyes flicked open, only to find the disgusting sight of Maya sobbing while Lucas tried approaching me, then it dawned on me that everything that happened was real. It was damn real! No matter how much I tried to speak, I couldn't just find the words to say, clutching my heart, and muttering. “Why?” Lucas with the bedspread wrapped around his waist yelled. “What do you mean why? If you hadn’t lied to me about coming home tomorrow, then none of this would have ever happened!” I couldn’t believe the words that I heard him say. It seemed like my ears were malfunctioning but with the rage that glinted in his eyes and with the way his hands balled into fists, then I knew that I heard right. A wave of anger coursed through my veins because how dare he! “Why are you even here Ines? You got what you deserved okay because why would you even lie to someone that you call your partner!” Screaming at the top of my lungs, I yelled. “Shut the hell up. Not a single word from you Lucas! If you dare make this my fault again, I swear, I don’t know…..” Before I could complete my statement, he interrupted, a smile creeping at the corner of his lips. “What would you do? The only thing you would do is whine and cry like you do all the time that you come to whine about your issues” “Like damn girl, do you know how you irritate me?” His face scrunched in disgust. My legs wobbled and every part of me crumbled. Not just that, but the whole world that I had built crumbled before my very eyes. I scoffed in a way that caused tears to cascade down my cheeks. It was more like I was staring at a different version of Lucas. Was this the man who always professed his love to me every day? Was this the same man that I worked multiple jobs for? “This is not you” Lucas burst into a peal of hysterical laughter. “This has always been me, Ines! Anyways, if you value our relationship, it would be better that you leave now and wait till I am done with……” Before he could finish his words, I sent a slap across his face. “How dare you” I muttered through gritted teeth as my chest heaved up and down. I staggered backward, the sharp pain in my head intensifying with every passing second. Everything was spinning! “Leave my house now, Lucas!” I screamed at him, mustering the courage to drag him out but he shoved my hands off. “I would leave but I would be back for you because no matter how you irritate me, you still belong to Lucas.”
