The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

My eyes fluttered open. I didn't even know when I closed them. The sight before my eyes made me gasp.

Orion was standing still. Red Vines were in his eyes. The blood and white matter coming from his eyes made everything more horrifying. A few red vines tied him up. This was the reason he stood still.

I don't even know how the red vines came into being. I thought my superpower refused to budge.

The slightly open door slammed against the adjacent wall as Madam Tayo stormed in.

"What happened here? Why a-" The rest of the words she was about to say died in her throat.

Her sharp yellow pupils took the scene in. Her gaze settled on Orion.

She glanced at me before looking at Orion again.

Her face was black as coal. I felt like I could hear the sound of Madam Tayo gritting her teeth in anger.

"Madam Tayo. Please, help me." Orion's lips were trembling violently as he spoke. I almost felt sorry for him.

I don't know how he was able to survive. He could talk too.

I thought the white matter I was seeing around his eyes came from his injured brain.

For humans, any injury to the brain was serious.

It was miraculous to see Orion alive.

It was obvious that he was severely injured though.

"Guards. Come to this place, now!" Madam Tayo screamed at the top of her lungs.

I didn't try to escape or scramble up from the bed. Any actions I do would be futile.

Will she put me in the woodshed again today?

I don't know and I don't care. I am just happy that I was able to avoid violation and humiliation.

Guards similar to Orion, Gashi and Qui rushed in.

Their bulky bodies didn't hinder their speed.

"Cut those vines down." Madam Tayo instructed.

The guards acted promptly.

The colors from their superpowers flashed as they tore the vines holding Orion captive to pieces.

The moment he was free, Orion crumpled to the floor.

"Edna, what is wrong with you? I have never seen a lady as stubborn as you are. Your powers are supposed to be sealed, why are you able to use them? No worries though. I am up for this challenge of bending you into shape. We will see who will have the last laugh." Madam Tayo sneered.

There wasn't anything I could say to her. Firstly, I didn't have the heart to give her a reply. Secondly, my throat has gone back to the blocked state it was in a few minutes ago.

Since this incident happened once, it could happen again and again. There was no guarantee that this will be the last time.

It had a higher chance of happening. Madam Tayo wouldn't let go of this golden duck.

I awaited her verdict for my actions.

I don't know if I wanted to be locked in a woodshed or not.

Being locked up means I won't have to experience this traumatizing situation for a while. Nobody would want to sleep with a weak, tired and dirty prostitute.

My mind started to lean towards hoping she would lock me up.

Alas, if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

The thing that was opposite what I wished for, was the one I attracted.

"A few of you should help Orion to the clinic. When he is stable, try to get him to the nearest hospital. As for Edna, take her to her room and guard the room judiciously. No food until she agrees to accept her first practice customer. She's not going to escape punishment for behaving like a shrew today." Madam Tayo instructed the guards.

The guards divided themselves into two. The bigger portion of the guards walked over to where Orion was.

They grabbed him.

The big team of guards left the room after lifting Orion into the air.

The smell of blood teased my nose. I felt like I could taste the iron content in the blood on my tongue.

The second and smaller group of guards came towards me. They grabbed me from the bed roughly.

My fingers managed to curl around the bedsheets I was lying on.

I wrapped the bedsheets around my bottom half.

Madam Tayo stormed off while the guards brought me to the residential building I lived in.

A group of girls with Joanna at the lead caught my eye.

The group noticed us too. Joanna left the group and came towards us.

"Edna, what's wrong? How did you get to this point? Why are the guards holding you like this?" She asked numerous questions in concern.

I didn't reply. She didn't take my silence as a signal to shut up though.

Joanna looked at the bulky men holding me captive.

"Please, what did she do? What she is taking punishment for shouldn't be that serious, right? Why are you guys holding her like she is a criminal." She sighed.

"Please, direct us to her room. For your earlier question, she is a criminal. She blinded Orion and injured him severely. She is under house arrest until she completes the task Madam Tayo asked her to do." The guard at the lead said. He wasn't part of the guards holding me.

"Edna, how could you do something like that?" Joanna sighed, "Esteemed guards, please follow me."

I knew my story would spread rapidly to the other ladies after Joanna heard it.

I wasn't bothered.

This situation should give any stupid person that insisted on going against me a valuable signal. I am not some rabbit.

I was a wolf. I would bite back.

I didn't make things difficult for the guards. I don't have the strength to.

Madam Tayo was pushing me to the wall. I had jumped out of the frying pan into the fire.

I came out of a traumatic experience and I was about to go into another one.

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.org, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free! Madam Tayo's evil promise hung over my head like a sharp sword.

Joanna brought the guards to my room.

The key to the room was still on my waist.

When I tucked it in previously, it went into the waistband of my skirt and underwear.

This saved the key from falling out during Orion's assault.

The guards dumped me on the floor unceremoniously.

The guard in the lead twisted the knob on my door. The door didn't open.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"Search her for the key. If you can't find it, go to Madam Tayo for a spare key." The guard said.

I looked up suddenly.

So, Madam Tayo had a spare key to our rooms.

This fact made me feel unsafe.

Nothing would be private.

The guards' hands searched all over my body. Another round of nausea assaulted me.

This time, my power didn't respond.

A few minutes of torture passed by and they found the key.

The leader opened the door.

The other guards in the group dragged me into the room.

They released their hands and left.

Joanna took her leave too.

Before she left, I caught the gleam of scheming in her pupils.

It seemed she would soon act out.
