The Heroine's Obsession

Chapter 5

"Your desperation to escape wounds me, darling" my fingers grazed his face

"Don't you know that I'm driven to madness when I cannot find you. My word actually teeters on chaos without you. Thankfully, Dion located you " then my eyes blazed, I slapped him

"A stubborn dog needs to be beaten and be in pain" I coldly whispered to his ear

"Just let me go, you won't get anything from me" Ethan calmly uttered, his expression is unreadable.Silence was my reply. I reached for a liquor, sitting beside him, my gaze riveted on his wounded flesh

I quickly removed the bandage that was on the side and I was surprised that he was not hit by a gun. A pocket knife's brutal mark was evident. My scrutiny of his left thigh verified the initial finding

Dion is starting to annoy me!

"Damn him! I told him to shoot you in your f*****g legs" I whispered

I noticed his slight smirk while looking at me intently

"Your servant is much more humane compared to you, what are you? A devil?" he said nonchalantly

I raised my brows

"Yeah I am devil and a devil can do this too" my fingers probed the wound and crimson liquid welled up, betraying the wound's hidden depth. I harshly applied pressure to the wound on his thigh too and the blood flowed out

His tortured cry resonated within me, yet duty demanded on his atonement. His anguish groan echoed through the air. Though his pain pained me, punishment was necessary for him

"I wanna see how you beg my love. Beg and apologize for attempting in escaping!" I uttered while mas idiniin ko ang sugat niya. I saw him reacted in pain

"I--I won't" despite his evident suffering, his pride remained unbroken

"Beg!" I yelled but he is totally a stubborn one

I took the wine and opened its lid.I immediately poured the liquor on his wound and the severity of his suffering threatened to escape in a tortured scream. Instantly, I poured more liquor onto his wound and applied intense pressure, inducing bleeding. Unfortunately, Dion's treatment yielded no positive result

Blood's sticky warmth clung to my hands

"Look at me" I grasped his jaw, compelling him to meet my gaze

"You are mine. You're bound to me forever" with deliberate slowness, I licked the lingering blood from my hand. My tongue traced the crimson streaks, savoring the metallic taste. I licked it in front of him and I saw him widening his eyes

"Your blood's velvet warmth still danced on my tongue. Good blood, you taste sweet" I stood, our gazes intertwined

"You're really a crazy one" with stoic resolve, he suppressed the pain's crippling grip

With calculated precision, I obtained a red cloth and approached Ethan. I carefully blindfolded his eyes. Anticipating resistance, I swiftly produced a pair of scissors and deliberately inserted them into his leg wound.Though the incision was shallow, it triggered a copious flow of blood from the wound

"Dare to defy me, next of this, I'll stabbed you in your throat. Remember this, dead or alive, you're still mine. So behave Ethan, behave..." He suppressed his anguish, his pallor a testament to his distress

Fear not, my love. Your vitality will conquer this trivial affliction. You're going to be okay

With Ethan's eyes concealed. I contacted Dion, directing him to escort Ethan back to his subterranean confinement, which is the basement. Dion quickly moves Ethan to the basement. I watched my beloved man, He was standing while wearing a blindfold. Both hands are still handcuffed and one leg is still chained

Ethan's body is already filled with his blood. Meanwhile, the severed heads remained, their pungent stench overwhelming yet insignificant to me

Instead of punishing Ethan, with a lighthearted spirit, I decided to playfully interact with him. In short, we will gonna play. I guess this will be our first bonding as a romantic couple

With the baseball bat firmly in hand, I approached Ethan, prepared to unleash my fury

"This is the rule of our game. I'll just beat your body with the bat I'm carrying. To halt my assault, catch the bat and I'll stop hitting you. It's up to you how you catch it. Oh it is also forbidden to fall, once your body falls on the ground, you're game over" My words accompanied tender caresses on his blood-covered body

"Will your irrational behavior cease upon my capture of the object?" he whispered, his voice barely audible

Joyful peals of laughter escaped me

"Hmmm..entertain me satisfactorily, and your freedom will be granted " I said while moving a little bit away from him

"Okay sweetie, let our game begin now..." I stealthily retreated, positioing myself behind him. Seizing the element of surprise, I struck his back with the baseball bat

A guttural groans escaped his lips as the baseball bat's crushing force reverberated through his frame.I smirked, what a tough man

I positioned myself beside him and delivered a powerful blow to his left shoulder and after that, I strucked his leg, expecting a resilience, but was swiftly dismayed as he collapsed

"In under three minutes, your strength abandoned you, leaving you vulnerable and broken. That was quicker than I was expected" I uttered

I removed the blindfold from his eyes and forced him to stand up

"We're not done yet. I'm still bored" His unsteady legs finally supporting him

"Let's play another game again. You're gonna stand here. The mechanics was just purely simple, you have just to dodge the heads I intend to strike. Winning this simple game will secure your release, ushering you into a realm of newfound freedom. This is the only chance I will give you, you better not miss this" I said and then I immediately called Dion to bring three more heads of another corpse that is in the other room of this basement

"My lady, looks like Mr. Faelden condition is not good" Dion said as he placed the three severed heads in front of me. I also took the other two heads that were scattered here in the basement

I took a head and ignored what Dion said

"This is just a simple game Ethan, just dodge it" I said and immediately kicked a head towards Ethan's direction which he managed to avoid

"Great!" I happily said

I tried kicking one head again and damn, Ethan avoided it again. He's good at this. I kicked the third head and I failed again to hit Ethan. This can't be. I should win this simple game. I'm getting annoyed now

"I have to hit Ethan with this f*****g head" I whispered and harshly kicked the fourth head and to my dismay, Ethan expertly avoided it AGAIN! He is in his weak state yet he has still the energy to avoid further kicks of mine

Now, I gave a powerful kick for this one last severed head, and to my surprise, I finally hit Ethan

"Hey I won! " without delay, I stepped forward to Ethan

"Your failure seals your fate, liberation is now denied" Ethan's dumbfounded expression was the perfect backdrop for my triumphant announcement. A sense of satisfaction has elevated my mood

"Take him to my room for restoration" my voice echoed calmly as I commanded Dion

***

"So how's the mission I entrusted Xyvel?" with growing frustration, I questioned her, her eccentric behavior testing my patience. Her unsettling grin stirred a toxic mix of frustration and disdain

"Master, the b***h named Sasha is now in our basement. She's crying because I stabbed her butt" and then she laughed like a maniac

I rolled my eyes

"Dropped the master, b***h! and why the heck did you stab her?" I irritatedly uttered

We're the only one here in our headquarter, June and Clark are still on their mission

"She's still alive, master. Her butt is big and I am jealous so I stabbed her" then she pouted her lips

"I told you to drop that master thingy of yours" I'm really irritated by that master master of hers

"Hmmp you're my idol when it comes to killing, you're my role model, master" what does she think of me? a psycho?

"I'm not like you. I'm not a psychopath, b***h!" The girl in front of me just grinned

"Hihihihihi" her presence test my resolve, I find myself contemplating a departure--perhaps Idrian's mistress company would be a welcome respite

Descending into the basement, I discovered a harrowing scene: a woman clad in a hospital gown, her back brutally lacerated, long hair dishiveled, and dark circles underlining her eyes

"W-who are you?" she unleashed a furious tirade, her words cutting deep

I entered, settling into a chair with calculated nonchalance, my gaze fixed upon Idrian's mysterious companion

"My name is b***h and I'm gonna be the one who will kill Idrian" froze edged my words as our gazes clashed

Her eyes widen

"D-don't you dare hurt him. I will kill you" I let out a wide devilish grin

"You're just a mistress of the said governor" without hesitation, I uttered, and her gazed mirrored her stunned silence

"H-how did you f-find out?" She asked tremblingly

I smiled at her

"Your real name is Sasha Jaida Gonzales. 34 years of age. Got married to an ordinary businessman, named Remualdo Gonzales. You gave birth to one but chose to kill it at the age of three. After murdering your own child, you killed your husband. YOU KILLED YOUR FAMILY FOR IDRIAN!" My voice was icy and detached

This woman killed an innocent life and I hated it. I may be a b***h, killer or whatever, I can't kill an innocent person especially a child. I still have my humanity despite the obsessions I have for Ethan

"Huh my affection has long since waned. Financial struggles, aside, have become increasingly unbearable. My husband and that kid, constitute the primary obstacle to the fulfilment of my union with Idrian. Idrian's wife and children are the next hurdles to be eliminated" she declared, her laughing sending shivers down my spine

Idrian and her share a symbiotic bond, united by ambition. They readily sacrifice familial ties for wealth and influence

Idrian's wife and children are unwitting victims of his deceit and abused. They endured secret torment, oblivious to his true nature. Deception's veil shrouds his home, love turned to silent suffering. Idrian and his mistress, deserve severe punishment for their cruel actions

"Aside from murdering your family, it appears that you're a prostitute with a history of violence. You f**k with men and afterwards, you also murder them. What a woman you are" I retorted, amusement danced in my voice

Her brow furrowed, eyebrows knitting together

"What is it you desire from me?" she inquired irritably

"hmmm nothing--Oh there is, I'm gonna use you to hunt and threaten Idrian. Is chasing before killing more exciting?" I laughed sarcastically

"No!!! you can't kill him! My Idrian is more powerful than you. He has a lot of connections, impossible na matatalo mo siya" she let out a stunned shriek

I confronted her and administered a physical correction, firmly reprimanding her.

"Don't worry for now, we're not gonna kill you yet....when Idrian's time on this earth expires, yours will swiftly follow " sambit ko at sinikmuraan siya

"You knew Xyvel right? the woman who took you here? she will provide temporary care for you. I am confident that you will appreciate her kindness " with urgency, I vanished from her presence

I returned to the mansion, but to my surprise, Dion was nowhere to be seen, which was unusual. Upon ascending the stairs to visit Ethan, I encountered Dion exiting my bedroom

"Hey!" I called him

"My lady" there is no lawless fear or panic in his voice

"What brings you to my room?" I inquired, noticing the cigarette between his finger

"Just checking Mr. Faelden, my lady" I frowned

"What's with the cigarette in your hand?" I asked, I'm getting curious now

"I steal some of yours, my lady. I was a little bit stressed so yeah" his response

I'm still curious. Didn't they engage in other activities indoors right? I've known for a considerable time and I'm aware of his sexuality, but one never knows. Ethan's rugged charm and handsome appearance could potentially have swayed him

Dion is compassionate when it comes to Ethan. There's no way Dion would betray me

"Whatever" that was my sole statement

I swiftly entered the room and conducted a through survey. Ethan looked at me weirdly. By the way, I only handcuffed one of his hands, his feet are also freed from chains

"Stand up!"I commanded to Ethan. He quickly stood up, looking surprised, after my order. I immediately went behind his and quickly took off his lower cover

"What the f**k!" he squealed as I touched his butt

"Does it hurt?" I touched his butt, seeking reassurance that he's okay. Dion will pay dearly if he f****d my Ethan

"What's with you and your actions lately?" he asked confused

I turned to face him

"Did Dion f**k you? Did he anal you?" my anger could turn fatal in an instant

"What the hell are you talking about?" I breathed a sigh of relief, noticing nothing unusual had happened between them

"Dion was here earlier. What did he do?" I wanted an answer from him

"He was checking up on me. He thought I would escape again" he covered his exposed butt and after that, he sat on the bed

I was taken aback, my eyebrows arching in surprise

"You're going to run from me again?" Annoyance started to burn up inside me

"What can you get from me? even though we f**k, you can't gain anything from me" He's making my head boiled again. Can he realise that I love him more than everything

"I love you and I can't let you go, Ethan. Any future attempts to flee will be met with severe consequences. Do not test my patience again. This is a warning from me, my sympathies for you have reached their limit. I can no longer muster empathy. I will let my men beat you until you bleed. I will cage you in a very dark room without any bedding and food. A dark room where dead bodies are scattered. Rats, cockroaches are everywhere" I said softly as I approached him and stroked his hair

"Be a good boy and we'll be okay" and I kissed his head
