POSSESSIVE

ELEVEN

Irene's POV

I escaped from Lisa's clutches two months ago. The first week was peaceful for me but as more time passed without any sudden visit from Lisa, the more I started to get anxious.

The calmness bothered me to no end. It felt like the calm before the storm. She made my skin crawl in anxiety, so much so that I locked myself in my room. I even quit my job as a stripper and skipped my classes.

Why did I lock myself in without a reason, you may ask? Well, I was in a grocery shop when I started noticing the strangeness in my surroundings. I felt someone following me closely but whenever I turned back or discreetly tried to look behind me through my phone, I found no one following me.

I got the hell out of that building thinking it was possessed by some ghost but after that day whenever I went out, I always felt some presence near me.

I tried to locate them many times, but whoever kept following me knew how to blend with the crowd. After that, I quit going out. I never went out unless I had to go grocery shopping or if there was some emergency.

You would think I would get peace if I quit going out but that wasn't the case. I started feeling their presence near my residence building. It creeped me out so much that I locked myself in my room. I would rather have her drop out of nowhere and scare the hell out of me than make me too afraid to go out.

What the hell is wrong with that woman? She is the creepiest woman I have ever met. If I ever see her again, I'm going to punch her face hard. How can she do this to me? Where is the nice woman act she was playing when I was under her roof?

I knew she was just acting at that time. This cheapness is her real face, I should have known. I made the right choice by not trusting her.

Ringggg.

"Hello," I said through the phone to my best friend/ roommate, Joy. She is also Bogum's, my other best friend and ex-bosses cousin. They are the nicest angles I've ever met in my life. This apartment is also theirs. When I left the home, they were the ones to lend me one of the rooms. Of course, I couldn't accept it for free so I pay them the rent to make myself feel better. They didn't decline because they know I will leave if they don't accept the rent. I don't like to owe people.

"Hey, Lia. I called to inform you that I'll be home early today. I don't know why you're so on edge because of your hot- I mean asshole stepsister, but if it makes you feel safer to inform you before we go home then I would do so," she said, making me laugh sarcastically because I know she wants something.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"Your nudes," she demanded a little too shamelessly.

"What do I get in return?" I asked seriously as if I'm contemplating, while in fact, I'm just in the mood to tease her.

"My nudes," She replied in an instant.

"Go fuck yourself," I snorted.

"Come on now. Don't be a prude," she whined like a toddler. I snorted in disgust without replying.

"Okay, fine. Then just give me those cute pink heels that you recently bought," she jumped to the main point in a second after the rejection.

"Okay. You should have asked that from the start," I said.

"What? You're serious, right? You'll give me those, right? You're not kidding, right?" She screamed in excitement, repeatedly warning me not to go back on my words. I rolled my eyes to the roof and sighed. Should I write up a contract for her to believe me?

"I'm hanging up," I cut the call before she could destroy my eardrums. I went back to watching Netflix, that's what I have been doing after locking myself in my room. And I swear I'm nearly done watching every show and movie there are on Netflix.

I was too into the movie when suddenly the power was cut. The whole apartment basked in the darkness and the surrounding suddenly became too quiet, except for the show that was playing on my laptop.

I cursed my luck and went to the kitchen to find some candles to bring some light to the apartment.

I underestimated the struggle to walk in the dark. I knocked quite a few things before I felt the kitchen counter under my fingertips.

The apartment door opened at that moment, making me sigh in relief. Joy is back. I was afraid to stay in the dark, it was too scary. At least, I got a companion now.

"Joy, you know you're always there when I'm in trouble. Thank you so much for coming back at the right time," I said gratefully to her. She is such an angel to come back to share my burden.

Well, I didn't stay grateful for too long because I didn't get any reply from her. If it was her, she would have already rushed to hug me because she is afraid of the dark like me. And if it was Bogum, he would have rushed to hug me to make me less scared. And most importantly, they would have replied to me. Or at least reminded me that I have a phone with a flashlight.

I'm now fully aware that whoever came in isn't one of my best friends. That means this is a break in and I'm in a dangerous situation. I immediately searched for a sharp object to protect myself. I didn't get a knife or anything but I got my hands on a fork.

Hmmm, not bad. I can just use some force while attacking. It would hurt if I pierce the skin with it. I should pierce hard enough to make it stuck deep into his body.

Suddenly, an arm wrapped around my waist. A cold breath blew on my exposed neck. I should inform you that I'm in a tank top and tight shorts that are tiny enough to be taken as panty. Now you should know that whoever it is that is hugging me is fit. Her hard muscles are pressed tightly against my back.

If it wasn't a break in case or if a body like that was pressed up against me in a different situation, I would have enjoyed the feeling. But right now I'm paralyzed by fear.

I had alwavs cursed out the characters in the movies who went dumb because of fear but as I'm facing the situation myself, I can sympathize with them. My whole body is stiff and I'm not able to move.

"Hello, my little sub," an all too familiar husky voice rasped in my ear.

My lord, please save me. I cried out in alarm.

Her voice sounds like that of a demon straight out of hell.
