The Heroine's Obsession

Chapter 6

It has been three days since I threatened Ethan, warning him that escape would result in confinement to a dark, dank room.Fortunately, he has been kind and obedient.His usual stubbornness has been noticeably absent. Meanwhile, I remain vigilant regarding Dion's movements

I saw him with Ethan again. It seemed like they were engaged in conversation. I attempted to intercept their converse, unfortunately, Dion's keen awareness of being spied upon consistently thwarted my efforts

With Dion safeguarding Ethan, I embark on a rendezvous with June and Xyvel, anticipating illuminating insights into their mission's status

I informed Dion that I would be going home in the evening, as I needed to take care of the organization first. However he remained unaware that I was deceiving him. I conveyed him a false schedule proclaiming evening plans, while secretly intending an early homecoming

Intrigued by Dions frequent visits to Ethan, I hastened home to uncover Dion's intentions. Upon arrival at 4 pm, a shadow of curiosity beckoned me homeward. The mansion's silence heightened my suspicions. Dion's elusive presence fueled my growing unease

I cautiously approached my room, finding the door closed. I leaned in, pressing my ears against it, taking advantage of the room's lack of soundproofing

"You should g---" the phrase hung unfinished as my phone pierced the air, shattering my concentration. June is such a wrong timing man

I rejected his call. I pondered my next move before entering the room, where Dion stood vigilantly beside Ethan's serene form on the bed.I raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the scene unfolding before me, my curiosity piqued by Dion's protective stance beside Ethan

"You've returned earlier than anticipated, my lady" Dion said while slightly bowing his head

"Would you mind sharing the subject of your conversation?" I asked, curiosity piqued

"Merely entertaining Mr. Faelden, my lady" he claimed while wearing a thin smile. His smile masking a hidden truth. I narrowed my gaze at him, I am sensing deception.His actions hinted a betrayal.Doubt crept in me and wondered what secrets lay concealed

"Your thoughtful gesture is acknowledged, Dion. Still, your presence within my sanctuary is no longer welcome. No more visits. I hope you understand and respect this decision" I don't mean to be harsh, but this is crucial

"My lady, my errors weigh heavily upon my conscience. May my sincere remorse, uttered on bended knee, mitigate your distress and revive your favor" with a gentle thud, Dion's knees touched the floor, his gazed uplifted in a silent plea for mercy

"leave my presence at once. Your actions have forfeited your welcome" I declared, chilliness seeping into every syllables

Dion vanished, eneveloping the space in heavy silence. Ethan cowed eyes and slumped posture whispered tales of a spirit tamed by foreboding shadows

"Ethan, would you graciously recount the intracacies of your conversation with Dion? every detail is paramount" my eyes locked onto his, seeking truth

"My girlfriend. She's the subject of our conversation " his lips curled upward.

"Didn't I unequivocally forbid you referencing her? Your disobedience is staggering. Refrain from mentioning her again!" words spilled from my lips, infused with simmering indignation, as irritation's fiery tendrils wrapped around my heart

"You solicited this response" Ethan retorted, a sly smile spreading across his face

"Ethan, our relationship demands exclusivity. Cease referencing your former attachment. You belong to me, your allegiance lies solely with me.You're with me now, forget her" my possessiveness declaration hung in the air, yet Ethan's smirk mocked me, unfazed

His gaze locked onto mine, his voice with a gentle whisper

"My body may be yours, but my soul's allegiance remains unbroken, forever bound to her lovely essence. Though chains of possession bind me, my heart sours, forever entwined with my beloved" his words dropped with conviction

His conviction pierced my soul, his unwavering dedication igniting a fierce possessiveness. His words settled like a weight within me, their sincerity echoing in his gaze, stirring unbearable jealousy. His serious tone left me reeling with envy

"Escape is futile, Ethaniel. Your existence is forever bound to mine, an eternal dance of obsession and posession. Even death's dark veil won't release you from my grasp, my fixation transcends mortality, sealing our fate. In life or death, your essense will be forever mine to cherish, torment and adore" my hand brushed against his skin, a gentle caress that belied the turmoil within

The curve of his lips, once captivating, now seemed a scornful sneer

"I repeat, though you possess my body, my heart and soul belong only to my beloved woman. Your dominion is physical but her reign is spiritual; a kingdom you'll never conquer. My heart, a fortress, remains besieged by her love, impenetrable to yours. The cruelest truth, you will forever fall short of her elegance. You can't replicate her essence"

A searing pang resonated within my chest, fueled by Ethan's candid admission. The thought of sharing his affections was unbearable. His words ignited a raging inferno, consuming my heart and shrouding my existence in an impenetrable darkness. A hollow ache echoed within, as if my soul was splintering under the weight of rejection

My jealousy and anger simmered. I dug my nails into his cheek, and Ethaniel winced, his widening in surprise. The brief flash of pain only intensified my turmoil

"Say what you say, sweetheart. You're still caged, forever bound to me by threads of desire and obsession. Your words merely whisper against the chain binding you to me, our love a flame that consumes all reasons. Within my grasp, you're forever ensnared, a delicate butterfly in my velvet web and this lips...." with unbridled passion, I claimed his lips. Our kissed fierce collision of desires, tongues intertwining like flames. His lip bled beneath my bite, a testament to our all-consuming hunger

He reciprocated the kiss with brutal passion. I met his fervor with ferocity, biting his tongue and lips until they bled profusely. Our kiss became a maelstrom of conflicting desires, pain and pleasure intertwined

Blood trickled from his ravaged tongue and lips. The metallic taste of blood filled both of our mouths. Our violent kiss turned into a very bloody one

I kept kissing him, blood and all. It was strangely exhilarating, addictive. Savoring the metallic taste, I deepened our kiss, losing myself

Aside from his sticky essence, his blood, a crimson elixir surpassed any delicacy I'd savored. A taste that forever seared in my soul

"your lips.... is solely mine" I said and then I kissed him again. I bit his lips over again

Just as my lips approached his chiseld chest, the abrupt chime of my phone shattered the moment

I got up and quickly answered June's call

"What the hell is it?" I annoyingly uttered

"Boss, red-alert. Idrian found the trackers I've installed in his car. Our people were ambushed by his men. With the help of those two organisations who allied with him, they easily upset our men.We need your actions right now" I closed my eyes after hearing it from June. Idrian finally had a powerful group backing him up

"I'll be right back" I concluded our call with a reassuring promise

I faced Ethan again while delicately licking the blood off my lips

"Never thought that devouring your bloody mouth is such a great experience. Hmm sweetheart let's continue this later... I've got something to come back for" then my tongue softly grazed his lip, removing the subtle crimson stain

With calculated haste, I retrieved my black leather jacket and holstered firearm, prepared for unforeseen contingencies. Upon arrival at 5 pm, I found June and Xyvel holding fort at our command center, while clark executed a critical reconnaissance mission

Two global powerhouses, Hoax and WebTriad, had forged an unlikely partnership with Idrian

WebTriad, is a cybercriminal group where it is focusing on online forums or marketplaces facilitating illicit activities.

According to June, this notorious organization has perpetrated an alarming array of heinous crimes, including the exploitation of numerous innocent children, widespread dissemination of explicit content featuring women and children, and the disturbing distribution of graphic violence, specifically murder documentation. Furthermore they have compromised sensitive information through unauthorized data breaches targeting high-profile individuals. The leader of this group is, Clarence Powell

Given Idrian's history of targeting vulnerable populations, particularly women and children, an alliance with this group seems ominously logical

The second group is the Hoax. A notorious Russian crime syndicate, forced into exile, relocated here in the Philippines to evade persecution. This group was led by Antonio Mikhail

I underestimated Idrian's desperation, seeking international aid was an unexpected maneuver.

"Boss, our organization's security is severely compromised. There's a high probability they'll discover our primary operation hub, jeopardizing our entire infrastructure" June said as soon as I sat down on the expensive sofa

"Do you doubt your remarkable computer skills, which have consistently yielded innovative solutions?" I asked

I saw him pouting his lips

"With advanced technical capabilities and proven problem-solving skills, I'm poised to tackle complex challenges, Ma'am" then he grinned like a mad dog

"Have an unwavering faith in your exceptional abilities. I entrust you with our organization's security. Prevent their location tracking at all" I said

My gaze went to Xyvel

"Could you kindly provide an update regarding to Sasha's current emotional and physical state?" With arms crossed, Xyvel stood immersed in the thought

"Her p***y is bleeding. I stabbed it with my pocket knife, master" This individual's behaviour is profoundly disturbing

"Make double-sure she's still breathing. I've got unfinished business and it's far from over" My word conveyed unshakeable resolve, spoken with the gravitas of undeniable command

"Fear not, my young miss, for I have skillfully restored her dignity, reviving the essence of her being" and she chuckled

"Madam, we're vastly outnumbered. How do you propose to counter Idrian' s forces with such limited power?" June asked pointedly

I smirked

"Exploit influential media channels, leveraging substantial financial incentives to expose the governor's purported involvement in unethical practices and illegal businesses. " aint commanded June

As Idrian initiates his maneuver, I shall reciprocate with a clandestine countermeasure

"What if we failed? The consequences of failing to disseminate damaging information about Governor Idrian would be catastrophic, given his considerable influence, extensive resources and capacity for swift reprisal,potentially jeopardizing our entire operation"

June said, sounding worried

"Left with no alternative, I will personally pursue justice against the elusive governor. I'll bring him down myself " I declared resolutely, my gaze fixed intently on Idrian's photos pasted on the large white board

I took out my knife and immediately stuck it in the face of Idrian's picture

"Ma'am, your unwavering animosity towards Governor Idrian perplexes me. May I inquire about the root of this intense disdain?" napakadaldal talaga nitong lalaking ito

"He's right, master. Why do you harbor such a strong intention to kill him?" Xyvel questioned

"Soon, you'll know" and I repeatedly pierced Idrian's photograph imaged with calculated intensity

"Regardless of motivation, our loyalty remains unwavering" Xyvel declared, June nodding in accord

As I prepared to depart our headquarters at 7 pm, following a two-hour strategical discussion, my phone abruptly interrupted my exit

A message from Dion.

From Dion:

"I am sorry to interrupt you at this hour, my lady. Unfortunately, Ethan has once again managed to escape. Despite my best efforts, I failed to secure him. We can no longer detect his presence within the mansion's premises. I acknowledge my responsibility and accept the consequences. Please instruct me on my punishments, my lady"

The unsettling news from Dion has precipitated a profound sense of frustration, effectively suffocating me. Every breath feels labored, weighed down by the crushing gravity of disappointment

It's unthinkable that he could leave! I should have taken more drastic measures to ensure his captivity

"Xyvel....June" As I endeavoured to express myself, my voice trembled with a maelstrom of emotions- fear, anger and bewilderment--mirroring the turmoil ravaging my innermost being

"Boss"

"Master"

"Forget about Idrian for the meantime"

Change plan? I guess I have to.

"P-pero.." I cut June's words

"No buts!" I yelled

"Okay" mahinang sambit ni June

With calculated gentleness, I drew near Xyvel, my hand resting reassuringly on her shoulder. Leaning in, I whispered softly into her ear

"Hunting others seems to be your obsession, right?" My voice dropped to menacing whisper

Upon witnessing the spark within her gaze, I offered a knowing smile

"Yes. Chasing a fleeing individual is an adrenaline-fueled experience I thoroughly enjoy" her lips curled into a malevolent grin

"Then shall I commence the game? tomorrow we shall iniates the hunt" Xyvel's smiled unfurled like a blooming flower, vibrant and captivating.I patted her head sweetly and then my gaze went to June

"Ethaniel and Idrian are our targets. Summon your inner demons for the impending hunt. Shadows will haunt them, our relentless pursuit fueling their darkest fears" I said to the two and I also noticed the changes in June's reaction. It has a demonic smile now. He's really different every time he's in his madness

"This is exciting. It's been a year since I hunted a prey" June uttered

I just smiled.

Ethan, your sudden subservience doesn't deceived me. I already sense a clandestine scheme brewing. My hunches were always right. You escaped....

With a knowing smile, I unlocked my phone and accessedthe tracking app, revealing Ethan's precise location. He didn't notice the tracker that I slipped onto his clothes earlier

I let out a grin. You can't outsmart me baby!

Wherever you flee, my relentless pursuit will haunt you, in every dreams and steps. Run Ethan. Don't get caught. Hide well, 'cause I'm coming for you
