OBSESSION

CHAPTER 2

She wraps the white towel around her body and immediately opens the door. She wanted to soak in the water for a long time, but she worried that Ashwin might be looking for her. She had no idea why he did that. She just thought it was his unique way of welcoming her to their mansion. The actions of the wealthy are indeed peculiar.

Fortunately, her room was next to Ashwin's, so she wouldn't have to run around when he needed her.

She was about to remove her towel when she froze in place upon seeing Ashwin sitting on her bed. He was staring at her from head to foot. How rude!

She hadn't realized she was absentmindedly touching her lips. Seeing him only reminded her of their shared kiss.

Was he here to apologize for what happened earlier? But his timing was off. It was wrong of him to enter without even bothering to knock, even if he claimed ownership of the house.

Her heart pounded loudly as Ashwin began to walk towards her. She couldn't tell if he was joking or teasing her because his face showed no emotion.

She instinctively stepped back as Ashwin approached her. His intimidating gaze, along with his terrifying eyes, made her tremble even more.

She was even more nervous when she realized she was leaning against a wall.

He smiled meaningfully as he pressed her against the wall.

She was startled when Ashwin wrapped his muscular arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him.

"W-What are you doing, S-Sir?"

She tried to avoid Ashwin's breath on her face as it felt different; it ignited a fire within her.

Ashwin pushed her against the wall and slowly kissed her bare neck. He licked and sucked on it slowly, sending shivers down her spine and through her body.

"A-Ah...Um..."

As much as she tried to push him away, he only tightened his grip on her.

She admitted she was defenseless. If strength were the only factor, she would have lost already.

"S-Sir Ashwin..."

"Shhh." He bit her lips, seeking entrance. He then passionately kissed her down to her neck.

"Ah...Uhmm."

It wasn't long before she realized she enjoyed what Ashwin was doing to her. She found pleasure in the unique romance he brought to her body.

"Ms. Kizia?" Three consecutive knocks brought her back to reality. She also felt Ashwin pause and step back.

"That f*****g voice," he softly hissed, emphasizing each word.

He sighed and sat on the bed with crossed legs. He closed his eyes, clearly irritated. She just noticed that his eyebrows were furrowed, which she found cute.

What am I thinking? Don't forget, Kizia, what happened between you earlier! That jerk was harassing you!

"Kizia? Are you okay in there?" She almost forgot about the knocking.

"Y-Yes."

"Good to hear! Can I come in?" If she was right, that voice belonged to Ashton.

She glanced at Ashwin, who was now staring at her. She was taken aback by his deadly glare, and the uneven colors of his fierce eyes added to her apprehension.

"Don't you dare." Even though he didn't speak, she could see his lips move.

She just scratched her head. If she didn't let Ashton in, Ashwin might do the same thing again. But if she did let him in, Ashwin might get mad at her for allowing him in. What a headache!

"Kizia, I'm opening it now."

"Wait!!!" She saw him turn the doorknob.

In her peripheral vision, she saw Ashwin smirk. She thought maybe it was because she obeyed him, or maybe he noticed the fear in her eyes.

"Why, Kizia?"

"Uhm. Well... Uhm... I'm still... Uh... Getting dressed."

"Oh. I'm sorry. You should have said so earlier," he laughed awkwardly. "By the way, after you're done, please find Ashwin. He's not in his room."

Poor, Ashton. If only he knew Ashwin was right here with me.

"Okay, I'll hurry."

"Okay. I gotta go."

She breathed a sigh of relief as Ashton finally left. She didn't want him to know that Ashwin was in her room. He might think she's taking advantage of the situation with Ashwin. She didn't want to be fired over that kind of speculation.

"So, where did we stop?"

She was stunned to hear his voice. She had almost forgotten that Ashwin was still in her room.

She trembled as she slowly turned her head to look at Ashwin.

"So, shall we continue, little one?" He said as he stood up.

With all her strength, she ran to her backpack and grabbed it. Then, she headed to the comfort room and immediately locked it.

"That was so close," she panicked, trying to control her shaking legs.

"Hmm. So, clever, little one," he said playfully. "But, I'll still wait for you here."

She sat on the floor, knowing she had no escape from this creature. He owned the house, so it was easy for him to command her.

She quickly changed clothes, fearing Ashwin might forcibly open the bathroom door. Who knows what's going on in his narrow mind?

She regretted not telling Ashton earlier that Ashwin slipped into her room. Maybe she wouldn't be in trouble now. But what annoys her more is that she couldn't do anything about it, aside from being afraid of Ashwin, she was also wearing a towel. That's so embarrassing!

"Hey, little one! What took you so long in there!"

She hesitated whether to go out or not. From his voice alone, she knew he was getting impatient waiting for her. She was also worried about what would happen if she came out of the bathroom. The thought of what happened between them earlier, of another intimate kiss, made her unable to resist.

"This is your last warning, little one. If you keep staying there, I will definitely destroy that f*****g door!"

She sighed, knowing how bossy he could be. It was only her first day, but it seemed like she was already struggling-not physically, but emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. Damn, this gorgeous man!

She slowly opened the door, and there he was, arms crossed and tapping his foot on the red floor.

As if she had a choice, she knew that if she didn't come out, he would get angrier. And surely, if this man went wild, it would only give her a bad impression on Ashton, who hired her.

His face brightened a bit, but she could still feel the negative aura around him. "There you are, little one!" He quickly stepped forward, and in a split second, he was right in front of her.

The uneven colors of his fierce eyes made her shiver. Ashwin grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer. "Listen, little one," he held her chin and raised it. "If you do that again, I'll crush you into pieces. Don't you dare disappoint me, because you're nothing..." He emphasized each word, examining her face and getting closer. "You're just a filthy rat in my eyes." He squeezed her face before releasing it.

Ashwin smiled playfully. He brushed his messy hair back with his hand and then put it into his pocket. "You!" he pointed at her. "Listen very carefully, little one. Obeying me is your duty from this day forward." He turned away and left her standing there. Before he completely left the room, he glanced back at her. "Failing to do your duty will result in the sweetest punishment from me."

She breathed a sigh of relief as he finally left. She couldn't help but let her legs give in, unable to bear the weight of what just happened. She couldn't hold back her tears from the recent events. Was he a psycho or something? She thought this job would be easy, but she was wrong. It seemed like her death might come sooner than expected.
