Horror x Romance

***Kai*** … I wake up with a start. Disoriented, my eyes squints under the harsh glare of the sun, before my eyes widens. Holy crap, its morning! Im late! I look around me wondering where I am until I remember what happened last night. Charles. He tried to violate me. He could've hurt me yet he stopped. I dont know what happened but im glad he stopped. I dont think i'll be able to live if he went all the way last night. I see a yellow note on the coffee table next to the bed and I pick it up. 'eat breakfast.' it says. My lips curls into a smile. Thats so him. He likes to get straight to the point. I like that kind of guy who speaks out his thoughts. I prefer that over charming men. Charming men are more cunning, as if they practice saying the pick-up lines in front of the bathroom mirror. Charles is awkward and his words are never charming. They're like bullets that can stab you. But they're the truth. He's real and ...

***Charles*** ... I lay awake all night watching her sleep in my arms. Even when the moon starts to fade, and the day swallows the night, my eyes never leaves her sleeping form. I'm extremely tired. I haven't been sleeping lately. Everytime I sleep, that woman I loved appears in my dreams. In the arms of another man. It makes me sick. So I don't sleep. But here with this girl, my body relaxes, and the tension eases out of my shoulders. I feel... almost at peace. I think if I sleep this time, I won't have the same dream again. Maybe this girl can chase away the bad dreams. But I'm afraid to sleep now, because what if I wake up and she's not there? What if I scared her off and she runs away from me? No matter what, I have to keep her with me. Her presence stops me from going crazy. I feel less angry when I'm with her. This girl, can she save me? She looks so fragile and vulnerable. She fits right in my arms and I hold her tighter. Her...

***Kai*** ... I follow the maid towards the end of the hall where my room is. It's probably smaller than the rooms in this mansion, but it's a lot bigger than my room back at the condo. My suitcases are already there by the bed, waiting for me to unpack. There's a maid dress in black and white apron lying on the bed and I reach to pick it up. So I guess I'll be working as his maid. I know rich people has maids, but I'd never expected them to dress in the actual maid costumes! Kinky bastard... "Your shift begins at 6 am everyday and ends at 11 pm. You get two hours break for lunch. Anything else, you can find other maids or butlers in this house and they will help you. Just don't disturb the young master." "Is he always.. intimidating?" The young maid shakes her head. "No. Well.. he had always been a troubled teen. He got into fights. He was uncontrollable. He was lost ever since his mother died. But it all changed when he...

***Charles*** ... I watch her leave the room before I heave back a sigh. Maybe what Im doing to her is immoral but I dont give a shit. I thought I finally found happiness, but it turned out to be an ugly lie. Everything was a big fucking lie. After the woman I loved left me on the altar and ran off with another man, life is just... emptiness. I now see the world in black and white. There is no longer beauty in life. Its all fake. I changed for her. I stopped fighting. I studied hard so I could take care of her in future. I wanted to become the person that she could rely on. Who knew she ended up falling for that bastard instead... That day when she left me, I gave in to the real me. No more Mr. Nice Guy. I became who I was before: a monster. I no longer give a shit. Not after that bitch cut my heart into fucking pieces and left me to die. Fighting is what I do best. Its the only way to feel empty when my heart is crumbling. It helps to numb the pain. So I let myse...

***Kai*** ... After I paid the hospital, I take the escalators to visit my brother. Holding a bento box in my hand, I step trough his room. "Hey there, Lucas." My brother lifts his head from the tv he's watching and rewards me with a beautiful smile. "Sis!" I smile warmly as I place the bento on the table. "Your dinner. Everything in here is 100% organic so you better finish your food." He grabs the bento to his lap and opens the lid. "Yum, thanks sis. Hospital food tastes like shit." I ruffle his hair and watch him as he eats. His body is much thinner than before. There's a bandana around his head. His hair has fallen off a lot recently of his treatment. They're treating him with chemi first. So far, he's doing okay but the chemo not only kill the bad cells inside him, its also poisoning him. I know he's in pain but he rarely complains to me. I smile through the heartache. I must never cry in front of him....

Note: I named the heroine "Kai", yes this is koyonplete's vn. not a fanfiction. I decide to write it down, it seems interesting and because people seem desperate about jewel, and its just pink/blue screen.  ***Kai*** ... Its night time and the nightclub is blinking with millions of disco lights. I can hear the muffled sound of music pulsing wildly, despite being far away from the dance floor. Im in the changing room, stripping my jeans and shirt to the club's normal work attire: a black, cocktail dress that falls short to my thighs. I should be bartending right now, but instead, im sitting on a long wooden bench, staring blankly at the piece of paper in my hand. The invoice is £100,000 for my brother's medical bill. My heart threatens to rupture in my chest. How the hell can I get this much money in such a short time? Squeezing my eyes shut, I bury my head in my hands. Ever since my parents died, my life had gone to hell. The debt collectors came a...
