THE BALDWIN'S POSSESION

WILL YOU TELL HIM...

I was about to close my eyes to sleep when a guard knocked on my door and handed me a phone. I looked at the text message I received from Azar:

Good night, Eve...

I stared at it blankly and typed, I miss you too, Azar...

Tomorrow, my brother is coming. I will be there at five, okay? he texted.

Okay, I replied.

I love you... he texted.

My heart trembled at these words, a sentiment I never wanted to lie about. My mom and dad loved each other fiercely, promising to take care of one another until death. The word "love" signifies a pure emotion, which I had never felt for Azar, but I had to say...

I love you too, I typed with trembling fingers.

I miss you, Eve, he texted again, making me cry in frustration. I didn't know what had taken over me.

Azar, it's been only four hours since you left, and you're saying you miss me, I typed quickly and sent. Too late to regret.

I felt shivers when I saw the word "seen." He didn't reply for a few seconds, and my heartbeat raced like a train.

Then, suddenly, the screen showed an incoming call from Azar.

I picked up the phone in a panic, afraid of making him angry.

I am so... I was about to finish the word when Azar's cold voice cut me off.

Say you miss me, Eve, he said in his emotionless tone.

I looked at the wall blankly and said, I miss you, Azar.

He groaned in satisfaction and ended the call.

I handed the phone back to the guard and lay down on the bed, closing my eyes. I couldn't understand what had just happened. Did I make Azar angry, or didn't I?

I fell into a deep sleep after exhausting myself with thoughts.

Third Party's POV

Morning arrived.

The angelic-faced girl was still sleeping under a comfortable white blanket, covering half of her body. It was none other than Eve. She was beautiful, perhaps even more so than her paintings. One look at her could steal your heart and make it beat wildly. There was no one who could stay away from her beauty—her long eyelashes brushing against her round, puffy cheeks, her cute little nose, her pouty pink lips, and the mole beneath them. Everything about her was like a dream.

Azar had been staring at her face for half an hour, his gaze fixed and intense. His veiny hands caressed her shoulder-length hair gently. After a few moments, his hand travelled softly to Eve's face. When it reached near her lips, he ran his thumb over them, making Eve frown in her sleep. He then took Eve's lips between his thumb and fingers, holding them tightly, and placed his own lips against hers.

Eve's POV

I felt pain when someone gripped my cheeks tightly. My eyes flew open to see Azar taking my lips into his mouth, his dark gaze locked on mine. He continued to kiss me, moving his lips, teeth, and tongue, sucking every bit of my lips. I closed my eyes again, letting him do as he wished. But then he suddenly pulled my hair harshly, causing me to let out a painful whimper.

He growled in front of my face, DON'T YOU DARE CLOSE YOUR EYES... and then resumed tormenting my lips.

After breaking the kiss, he said, Good morning, beautiful, giving my lips one last lick.

Azar, I said in a slow, shaky voice.

He hummed in response.

You told me you would come at five, I said softly while looking at him.

But you missed me, so I came early for my bubble . Now get ready and come downstairs in fifteen minutes, okay? he said, glancing at his watch before leaving. I quickly got out of bed and went into the washroom to get ready.

I walked downstairs after getting dressed in black sweatpants and a black hoodie. I saw the whole family gathered at the giant dining table. They all looked towards me as I approached, and I kept my head down, quietly sitting beside Azar. The maids began serving breakfast.

Are the preparations going well? Mr. Win asked, looking at Azar, who responded, Yes, Dad, everything is going well.

Will you introduce Eve to him? Mrs. Win asked, drawing Azar's attention.

Azar hummed in response.

After that, everything fell silent again. I ate the food, which was delicious since Aunt Abela had prepared it. I loved her cooking.

Suddenly, Brother Dax spoke, making me a little surprised. What do you think about Ray, Eve?

Azar's eyes conveyed anger at the question as he looked at me with his cold stare. I wondered what I should say and, after a few seconds, spoke, drawing everyone's attention towards me.

DON'T FORGET TO VOTE CUTIES....
