THE OBSESSION

"Oh dad ik you care for meh"

"Yes sweetheart I do and that's why I want you to come back home"

"Dad please uk why I'm away from you and how much eff..."

"How much efficient you want to be to handle my empire. I know you want to pursue your own experiences and gain more independence before sitting in my throne,  ik sweetheart"

"Haha exactly"

"Alright dear, just stay safe and share me the details of your new residence. I hope you will enjoy Vegas.."

"I'll share the locations and other details and ofc dad it's gonna be fun in Vegas.."

"Sweetheart, you told the same thing when you left Chicago but I guess you didn't enjoy LA that much, huh?"

"Umm ah Dad I just want to visit Vegas so.."

"It's Okay sweetheart. If you face any problem, contact me no matter  what alr? As a father, I'm always concerned about your well-being, but I trust that you have thought this through and believe in your ability to make the right decisions for your future. Don't get in trouble. We can always appoint guards for you but you never listen.."

"Oh come on dad, no one will know that I'm daughter of a billionaire and about bodyguards.. I told you I want to live a simple life to gain more experience and observe Taylor's principles lol haha.. Don't worry I'll be back soon, I LOVE YOU"

"You are so stubborn like always, alr I trust you sweetheart, I'll wait for you, afterall you are my only dear daughter and only family. I LOVE YOU TOO"

With this I ended up the call..aahh.. It's sometimes too difficult to assure my Dad, I mean ofc he's too possessive afterall I'm his only daughter and only family. My mom left us 5 years ago after she got a bastard. She never even tried to contact us even tho I'm her only daughter. Whatever it was her own decision to kick my father's wealth even after knowing he's a billionaire. Now it's only him and I. It sounds thrilling right "BILLIONAIRE'S ONLY DAUGHTER" haha.

This billionaire's only daughter want to be competent no matter what. My Dad never made me feel deficiency of my so called mom and thus he deserves the world. I will prove him that..

Girls are no less than boys and I will continue his empire like an empress and I won't mind starting like a guard for that. It will be my own success that will grovel at my feet.

Well It's only been eleven months since I moved to LA, but this place is starting to feel suffocating. That crazy stalker has been haunting my thoughts for months, and it's seriously messing with my head. I've been into dark romance novels, but let me tell ya, having a real-life stalker is nowhere nearly as hot as it is in those novels or maybe it is.. shut up Ayla. I can't take this anymore. I need a fresh start in a new city, where I can feel safe and relaxed. And ofc I can't tell my dad about him, why to add a new problem to his life? I will manage it myself and so I had to find an excuse of leaving LA so sudden.

I'm just wondering if my stalker can manage to listen my thoughts  too, cuz dude he literally knows everything about me. He's a real pain in ass but There's no way he will follow me all the way from LA to Vegas.

whatsoever, I have to depart now, I have to catch my flight. Vegas is waiting of me.

I gathered my belongings and stepped out of my house

I muttered a sly comment to myself

"Bye LA, I won't miss you, of course," I joked, "considering you've been such a gracious host to that nutjob who's been stalking me."

Without wasting another moment, I hailed a cab and headed to the airport, choosing to fly in economy class.

The flight was cramped and uncomfortable as it was an economy flight. I looked out the window and watched the city lights get smaller and smaller below me. 

"This is it," I thought to myself. "A new start, a clean slate. I just hope Vegas will treat me better than LA did. But still who knows what I'll find in Vegas?"

Now dear mind, Shut up, You just talk a lot..

I slept through most of the flight from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, taking the opportunity to get some rest after the upheaval of the past few days. I was abruptly woken up by the announcement that we were about to land, and I looked out the window, seeing the bright lights and flashy casinos of the Vegas Strip.

I was still a bit dazed from the flight, but I shook it off and gave the cab driver directions to my new villa. As the car navigated the winding streets of Las Vegas, I took in the sights and sounds of the city. The bright lights of the casinos seemed to sparkle a little brighter, and the excitement in the air was undeniable. Finally, the cab pulled up in front of a sleek and modern villa, looking both welcoming and luxurious. 

The cab driver, seeing that I had quite a few bags, kindly offered to help me with them

The cab driver, seeing that I had quite a few bags, kindly offered to help me with them. I thanked him as he grabbed a couple of the bags and followed me up the path to the villa's front door.

"Exquisite .." I was just adoring the house as I stepped in with my playlist on, playing VEGAS (I WANNA RIDE) BY Joseline Hernandez 

I entered the house and it's interior is just mesmerizing man.

I walked into the hallway, vibing to the music, admiring the beauty of the house.

As I entered the massive master bedroom, my legs refused to move any further seeing the cozy bed, as I dropped myself onto the mattress.

I took out my mobile to update my socials but something caught me off guard.

It was a news-headline by 'LA Times' as I immediately clicked the link.

The news report showed a blackened, charred shell of a building on the screen, the skeleton of what was once 'my LA home'. I felt a wave of disbelief and sadness as I watched the footage, realizing that the familiar place I had once called home was now reduced to rubble.

My jaw dropped when the reporter showed a letter on the news. The words on the page and the burnt house were hard to believe, but it was true.. all true..

"You really thought it was that easy to escape moon?"

It was him, my stalker, only he calls me moon, Only HIM

The message of the letter was stark and chilling, and I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched, that this was just the beginning of something much more sinister..
