Obsession In Disguise

"What are you going to do? Let me go! Where are you taking me? Help!" A girl screamed hysterically, struggling and looking around frantically, trying to get help. "I have to go! Let me go! This is kidnapping! You could get in trouble with the law!"

Her bare feet were forced to walk, causing several wounds that bled.

However, none of that mattered to the girl named Ivy. Her fear and panic toward the strangers who were forcibly taking her away outweighed everything else.

Ivy didn't know what she had done wrong or what their purpose was.

She couldn't even remember why she had gotten involved with these terrifying bald-headed men with their massive bodies.

The last time... Ivy and her boyfriend were on vacation to celebrate their third anniversary. But... suddenly she remembered her boyfriend and glared at them angrily.

"Where is my boyfriend?" she asked.

She forced her legs to stop. "What did you do to him? Where is he? What have you done to my boyfriend? Answer!"

Ivy grew increasingly hysterical.

Her mind spun with conflicting emotions. Her heart raced as she found herself in this strange, unprecedented situation.

"You can't do this to me! Where is my boyfriend? I want to see him! Take me to him!"

The two men gripping her arms tightly stopped and turned with sharp gazes, causing Ivy to clamp her lips shut. Her eyes welled with fear.

"You want answers, don't you?" The man on the right spoke in a low tone. "You can get it inside."

After that, they lifted Ivy's slender body and carried her into the small club.

Ivy remained silent until her body was roughly thrown onto the floor, then she screamed in pain.

However, suddenly she felt a cold breeze enveloping her, making her shiver and unconsciously adjust her position.

A pair of shiny loafers was in front of her.

Ivy swallowed fearfully and slowly raised her gaze. Instantly, she was stunned.

A tall man in a black suit stood before her. His thick eyebrows arched, his eyes sharp like an eagle's, his nose straight, and his jaw firm.

From her position below him, the man looked so majestic and imposing, like a warrior about to slay his enemy.

His aura was dark and intimidating.

Ivy was completely frozen.

"Ivy Rae?" Kai Valtor asked coldly.

Ivy didn't answer. She was still frozen, as if she had been turned into a statue.

"Mute?" This time, his question was directed at the men who had brought Ivy before him.

They all lowered their heads and answered, "No, sir."

"We've conducted an examination, and everything is normal. Of all of them, she is the most qualified.," one of them continued.

Then, the man who had been talking to Ivy approached her and bent down, grabbing her arm and whispering, "Where's your loud voice now? The master is asking, you must answer."

Ivy suddenly came to her senses, but her gaze looked confused. "Master?"

"Hey, lower your voice or your life is on the line." The man jerked her arm as a warning.

However, Ivy, who had no idea about the identity of the man called Master, could only stare blankly.

"Ivy Rae?" Kai's cold voice sounded again.

"Yes?" Ivy answered spontaneously.

Kai's sharp gaze scanned every inch of Ivy's body, making her frown uncomfortably and instinctively raise her hands to cover the front of her body.

Her dress was simple, but it was one of the products from an expensive brand. Her hair flowed smoothly. Then her skin... it looked smooth despite appearing dull, whether from dust or sunlight.

Overall, she was beautiful and alluring. The front of her body was even more prominent.

Kai nodded satisfactorily.

"Take her!" He then stepped out, followed by five neatly dressed bodyguards.

Ivy followed his departure.

Two men dressed similarly to the five men behind Kai escorted Ivy into the car.

A convoy of luxury cars drove away from the club area toward a luxurious villa on the hill.

"Where are we? I want to meet my boyfriend." After a long time, Ivy finally came to her senses and began to struggle again.

However, no matter how hard she tried, her strength was no match for the two men holding her hands.

"What do you want from me? Let me go, please. I don't know what I did wrong. I just want to meet my boyfriend. He must be looking for me. Please. I beg you. Let me go." Ivy felt utterly desperate.

Her face was pleading, with tears beginning to well up.

However, the two men who had brought her there did not respond. Instead, they threw her to two maids waiting at the side door of the villa.

Before Ivy could straighten her body, the two maids had already grabbed her hands and led her into a room.

Shortly afterwards, she emerged wearing a beautiful dress that clung to her slender figure.

The Sabrina neckline highlighted her long neck and delicate collarbone, making them appear captivating.

Her hair was neatly tied back.

Her dull skin had become clean.

"The master is waiting for you in his room," said one of the maids.

"Make sure to watch your words and actions. Don't make the Master angry. Whatever he commands, you must do it immediately. Never utter a word of refusal," the other maid added seriously.

Ivy looked at them confusedly and said, "I have no interest in your Master at all."

"Shut up, lower your voice." The two maids then whispered warningly.

"Watch your words and actions!" the maid warned again.

Ivy opened her mouth to say something, but the two men who had brought her there suddenly returned, grabbing her hands and forcing her away as if she were a doll.

Unable to tolerate being treated this way, Ivy stopped in her tracks, annoyed, and jerked her hand away. "Let go of me! You can't keep dragging me around like this! I can walk on my own!"

The two men stared at her, not believing her words.

Ivy exhaled roughly. "I don't know this place. I don't even know where I am right now. I can't escape. I've lost my way."

Only after hearing this did they release her hand.

"The master is waiting for you in his room," said one of the men.

For some reason, Ivy's heart began to race. Her fear once again took hold of her heart.

But she tried to hide it and asked, "Where is his office?"

**

In a dimly lit room, an old cabinet with intricate carvings stood on one side of the room. The chandelier in the centre of the room was so luxurious yet also terrifying, as if it had hidden eyes.

Red curtains and a black floor made the atmosphere even darker and more terrifying.

Ivy, standing in the middle of the room, bowed her head deeply, her hands clutching the hem of her dress tightly.

In this tense silence, she could even hear the sound of her own heartbeat. So fast and irregular.

Meanwhile, behind the desk, a man in a black shirt sat leaning back with his legs crossed confidently. His right hand rested on his temple, giving off an air of laziness but authority.

His left hand played with a folding knife, pressing the button to open and close it repeatedly.

"You were sold by your lover," he said coldly.

Ivy's eyes fluttered, then she quickly lifted her head, staring at the back of the chair in confusion.

"And I'm the one who bought you," Kai continued softly but with emphasis.

Kiara's heart seemed to skip a beat. "What do you mean?" she stammered.

Kai's movement with the folding knife suddenly stopped. His crooked smile appeared, and he lowered his right hand.

"Your data shows that you're the top graduate from a prestigious university."

This explained why Ivy wasn't the kind of person who didn't understand Kai's words.

However, the girl simply didn't believe him.

She shook her head firmly and exclaimed, "Impossible! My boyfriend wouldn't do something that horrible! He's a good man who loves me deeply. It's you... You who kidnapped me. You're the mastermind!"

A sinister, chilling laugh filled the room.

Ivy felt her hair stand on end and unconsciously stepped back.

Kai stood up and walked toward Ivy while playing with his folding knife again.

The shadow of a tall man with a cold, menacing aura approaching her with a weapon made Ivy hold her breath.

Kai stopped in front of Ivy. He touched her chin with the tip of his dagger.

Not only did she hold her breath, but Ivy even felt her heart stop beating.

"You are now mine. From now on, you are my slave," Kai whispered sharply.
