Dirty And Dangerous Obsession

MONALISA P. O. V

“What?” Derek exclaimed, shaking his head in disagreement as he stood up and pulled me along. He appeared both tense and nervous, but also angry. However, I didn’t care. I pushed his hands away and took a step back. “We’re leaving now,” he stated firmly, and I couldn’t help but roll my eyes.

“Why are you overreacting? It’s just for one night,” I said, throwing my hands in the air as the old men sat down, quietly watching us.

“Enough! Sit down, both of you,” Bobby’s voice interrupted us. He glared at Derek, but Derek remained unfazed. Instead, he focused his gaze solely on me, refusing to look away.

I promptly sat down and continued eating, ignoring Derek’s anger-inducing stare. It only seemed to fuel his frustration, causing him to stand and continue piercing me with his intense gaze. Whatever reasons he had for not wanting me to stay the night here, I had no interest in hearing them.

“Derek, I specifically asked you to bring her to me. And now she wants to stay from her own will, but you want to make her go?” His father scolded him, raising his voice angrily.

Suddenly, I stood up and rushed towards the exit, leaving everyone confused as they wondered where I was running off. “Where are you going, dear?” Robert’s voice stopped me, and I turned to look at them and sighed.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“I will return within the next two hours, sir,” I responded, shifting my attention to Derek. “Could you please drop me off at your mansion so I can select an outfit for the evening?” I asked, smiling at him. However, he proceeded to walk past me without uttering a word, purposefully bumping his shoulder into mine before walking out of the room. I turned to the old men and playfully shrugged my shoulders, causing them to chuckle before I hurriedly ran off.

I joined him in the car and closed the door. Glancing at him, I noticed how tightly he gripped the steering wheel, causing his veins to stand out on his skin. It was clear that he was angry, and I didn’t need an explanation to understand why. At that moment, I didn’t care about his reasons. My only focus was seeking justice for Gardy and my parents’ deaths. Within minutes, he accelerated angrily and we sped off.

After a few hours, we arrived home and I quickly jumped out of the car and hurried into the mansion, with Derek following closely behind. Silently hoping to avoid running into Idris. I’m not sure why, but whenever I see him, I inexplicably feel overwhelming guilt wash over me, often leading to tears. However, for now, I must do everything I can to stay away from him.

I forcefully opened my door and immediately rushed to my wardrobe, tossing my clothes onto the bed. I was completely absorbed in what i was doing, when I suddenly felt Derek gently wrap his arms around my waist.

Owl…!” I was frightened as I almost fell to the ground, but his hand quickly caught me. I turned and saw his pair of brown eyes shining, showering their gaze on me. He lifted me, making me stand on my toes. “What do you want here?” I rolled my eyes and continued with what I was doing.

“I want you,” he whispered, blinking his left eye seductively, gently pulling me closer to his body. I lifted my gaze to meet his. His once intense gaze had now softened into a loving, tender, and chilling ice as he focused on my lips.

I attempted to move my eyes, but he swiftly held my jaws in place with his index finger, while shaking his head slowly and sporting a small smile on his lower lips.

“But—–” I was abruptly silenced as he kissed me gently and affectionately.

I was still surprised, questioning why he was suddenly showing affection towards me when he had been extremely angry just moments ago. I speculated that he had his own hidden agenda as well. The mere thought of it caused me to pull away from him, which resulted in him furrowing his eyes in confusion.

I distanced myself from him, paying no attention to him, as I carried on with packing my clothes, while he stood there silently observing me with a shocked expression; as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. “So now you want to abandon his son and pursue his father?” He scoffed after a prolonged silence.

Wow! This guy is clearly jealous, something I’ve never witnessed before, but I deliberately disregarded his remarks. Nevertheless, he didn’t cease his comments.

“After you left me, do you realize how worried I was? You can ask Doven, I couldn’t sleep because of you. And now you’re back? You’ve completely changed. You constantly pushed me away whenever you had the slightest chance. Now you no longer obey or listen to me. I know, you don’t understand how much it hurts. I know, you don’t know how much I want to protect and shield you from harm. I know, you don’t know how much I love you.” He expressed all his emotions, burying his face in his palms as his shoulders slumped weakly.

I was left in shock by his final words, struggling to understand. I shook my head slowly, tears streaming down my face, while he got up and left my room without saying anything else, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

This was actually the first time I had seen him so sober, but I wouldn’t allow his emotional manipulation to burden me. I need to be at Bobby’s mansion soon, and I intend to stay there for at least three days so that I can become familiar with every corner of the mansion.

Suddenly, my door swung open, and Diane entered my room. I observed as she promptly made herself comfortable by sitting on my bed and began touching my belongings.

“You know, you should have asked for permission before barging into my room as if you own it,” I snorted, giving her a stern look that she brushed off.

“I thought you had left for good.” She gave me her usual fake smile, which I returned before rolling my eyes.

“Well, I came back to take care of some unfinished business,” I replied.

She let out a lengthy sigh, “I ran into your boyfriend earlier. He seemed quite down. Did you two argue?” She inquired, her eyes scanning my room as if it were unfamiliar to her.

“First his not my boyfriend. Secondly, Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted? Why pretend to be concerned?” I retorted.

She chuckled softly and said, “If I were in your position, and considering how much he loves me, I would use it to my advantage and shatter his heart into irreparable fragments. He truly deserves it.” She spoke with indifference.

I was taken aback by her words, but I understand that I shouldn’t be, right? Because if she could confine Derek in that dimly lit room, but hold on a moment, my thoughts quickly returned to the voice I heard while I was searching for Derek throughout the mansion that day, that woman’s voice was incredibly loud and distinct. I also remember asking Diane about it, but she dismissed it.

Diane knows a lot more than I do, and it seems like she has known Derek for a long time, which explains her intense hatred for him. I don’t think she would reveal everything without good reason. She is always careful and calculated in her actions and words, making her quite smart.

“Well… you are not me and never will be. So please explain why you are here and leave as I have somewhere to be at the moment.” I folded my arms beneath my chest, displaying my impatience.

She scoffed, “You ought to learn how to treat me with kindness… Because I am looking after your son and I am about to request something in return.” And she rolled her eyes.

You expect me to give you money? You prefer cash?” I inquired, a smirk forming on my face.

My response caused her to laugh. “Joanna, I have more wealth than you think, so I don’t desire your money. Instead, I would like answers in return because I have some personal questions to ask you.”

“What?” I exclaimed, my jaw dropping in surprise.
