The alluring temptaion
Liam stared at the message, his heart pounding in a rhythm of unease. The image of Sora burned into his mind: there she was, lounging at the bar, legs crossed seductively, wrapped in a sultry red dress that left little to the imagination. Her smile was as sharp as the blade she once chased him with, her eyes glinting with something far more dangerous than desire, obsession.
Her voice echoed through the message, soft yet unsettling, like a siren's call across dark waters. "Liam, you think I did all of this for money. Maybe in the beginning, that was true. But then, I fell in love with you. You only ever had eyes for Yuko. Yes, I threatened you, chased you with a knife, but I never truly wanted to hurt you. You must believe that, darling!" Her words wrapped around his thoughts like a creeping vine, each syllable pulling him closer to a precipice.
"Yes, I took the money after I kept you trapped in that cabin. I have to live too, you understand that, don't you, sweetheart?" Her tone was sweet, almost apologetic, yet it dripped with an underlying venom. "But now, the deal means nothing to me. Come back to me, and we’ll talk about everything, alone. Come now! I love you. Your Sora."
Liam's pulse quickened, his mind swirling in a storm of conflicting emotions. Yuki, his protector now, had sealed him away for his own safety, but Sora's words tugged at him with a dangerous allure. The woman who had once been his captor, who had threatened his life, now claimed to love him. And in that love, there was a promise of something more, a deadly, intoxicating mystery he couldn’t shake.
The weight of her confession, the rawness of her plea, pressed on his chest like a dark cloud suffocating the last rays of reason. Could he trust her? Should he? Or was this just another one of her twisted games, a spider spinning her web, waiting for him to stumble into it once more?
The hotel room felt smaller by the second, the walls closing in, the air thick with the pull of Sora’s words. And despite knowing better, despite Yuki’s fierce protection, a dangerous part of him wondered, what if? What if he answered her call, slipped out into the night, and walked right back into the flames?
