It was late in the evening, during this time many people were already resting at their home. Only those who work night shifts and those who enjoy night walks are the only ones that still lurk around at night.

And Luthor belongs to the latter, he lurks around his neighborhood for some fresh air. After a tiring day from his work as a CEO assistant, this is his way of unwinding. And also as a certified introvert, this is absolutely his to go adventure.

Although the chances of getting murdered at night is high, he doesn't mind it. He prefers it than talking to those talkative aunties here in the neighborhood who always suggest to him to date their daughters.

Besides, he trusts the security of this village, over the years he stayed here no scary things still happened here.After all he won't choose this place if there are records of violence that had occurred here.

Enjoying his peaceful walk, he got interrupted by the sudden ringing of his phone. One ring from his phone he already knows who is calling him--- his bestfriend.

"Hello? Let me guess you want chocolates right?" he directly asks him, for he is familiar with his friend for a long time.

"Hehe,you really know me well.Can you pls buy meee some chocolates? I mean I'm pretty sure you're having a night walk again" His friend said to him.

"Okay,give me 10 mins I'll deliver it to you" he told his friend, he doesn't mind after all they live in the same neighborhood.Its just that he lives near the convenience store.

"Thank you! you're the best that's why I love yo--- do-dont give meaning to ittt what I mean is I love you as a friend, right I love you not in a romantic wayyy! Haha" his best friend nervously told him.

"Okay okay I get it... chill I won't give any meaning to it haha" he said knowing fully well that they both like each other. "Anyways I'll hang up now, I'm almost near the convenience store" he said to his friend.

"Okay, take care" hearing that he ends the call.

Walking toward the store, while thinking what other thing he should buy.He absentmindedly looked at the bench under the tree in front of the store.There he saw a man wearing black hoody, sitting,looking impatient as if waiting for something or someone.

He didn't know why, but he felt that the hooded person was looking at him, watching him.

Creep out he increases his pace, opening the door of the store. With one last look at the man outside through the glass wall of the store. He walks inside the store.

He quickly bought the things he needed to buy. After paying, when he is going to grab the bag of snacks he bought. The cashier suddenly said something that gave him chills.

"Please be careful, he might not let you go tonight"

Scared, he doesn't know what to say. What does that mean?

He is about to ask the cashier what he means by that, but he is interrupted by the sound of the entrance door opening. Both him and the cashier looked toward the direction of the door, there they saw a man wearing a black hoodie and a mask in his face, enters.

Luthor felt chills all over his body, the mysterious person is looking at him.....

Suddenly, he felt a touch on his shoulder. He looked in the cashier direction, which was clearly terrified of something. He was about to ask if anything was okay,but his words were cut off by the cashier's urgency.

"Go away now...don't stay any longer" The cashier whispers with urgency, as if afraid that the new person will hear him.

He wants to clear up his confusion, but he sees the cashier looking at him with frantic emotions in his eyes.

This made him unable to pry any further, seeing him so afraid, especially when the mysterious man is now beside him.

He has no choice but to listen to the cashier's word and exit the store as soon as possible.

But as he nears the glass door, a loud bang was heard from the back. He made a quick turn back, and what he saw was enough to make him sprint to escape.

The man shot the cashier...

He run as quick as he could, he don't know for how long, but he only stopped when he saw no one chasing after him.

He frantically reaches out for his phone in his pocket to call for the police.

He dials the number of their local station, soon someone answers the call.

But instead of feeling relieved, his blood turn cold. The person on the phone...is not a police.

"Hello...looking for help? Too bad you got the wrong number" A cold sinister deep voice of a man answered from the other end of the line.

"Who...are you?" Luthor voice is shaking from trepidation, his hands sweaty from anxiety.

"Oh...how sad, we just met in that store not too long ago...you already forgot about me Luthor..." The man said, his words laced with sadness, yet his tone carries mockery.

Luthor was terrified from the revelation the man disclosed to him. His minds race with many thoughts, yet one was particularly above them.

"How...? did you know my name?..." He asked, his voice shaking with fear, his breathing starts to falter with such horrifying thought.

"Of course...you are mine…it's natural for me to know a lot of things about you...my love" The man's words, filled with strong obsession as he reveals his sick thoughts.

"You know, I never intended to do my plans this soon, but that bastard destroys my plans by being a nosy bitch...but don't worry I've erased his existence, he will not bother us anymore..." The voice, gloating with satisfaction as he mentions the demise of his victim earlier.

"Ah...enough chattering with you, we'll have a lot of that later...but for now..." Luthor froze in his spot, as he heard a noise behind him. He slowly turns back, his breath heavy as his thoughts shrouded with apprehension.

There, his eyes met the cold gaze of the mysterious man from before. Looking at him with frantic emotions in his eyes that he couldn't name. His face is still covered with a mask yet Luthor can feel the man's sinister grin on his face.

"My love...finally we'll be together forever..." And without any chance to escape, Luthor was trapped by the man's embrace. His struggles were futile, his voice muffled by the handkerchief smeared with substance he tried not to inhale. Yet his plan fails, when the man pinches his waist, making him inhale sharply.

"Finally... you're now mine" The last thing he heard as he succumbed to darkness.

New author here, please support my story...vote and comment if you like the story. Please tell me if my work satisfies you, I appreciate your thoughts with my work. If you don't like it, please point out the things you don't like about it. Thank you...love! This is bl

"The number you have dialed is unreachable, please try again later....."

The mechanical voice stated, causing distress to the owner of the phone.

He has been trying to reach his friend for the meantime. But the same scenario repeats over and over again. His calls were never answered. His worries increase as time passes by.

Where is he? Why isn't he answering my calls...it's been an hour since I last talked to him. He is supposed to deliver me the chocolates I requested him to buy during his night walk...What the hell happened?

The person thought, his mind races with horrifying ideas. He relentlessly sat on the sofa in his living room. He has been waiting for his friend to show up. His anxiety grew more as each time passed by. The possibility of something happening to his best friend while being unable to help....

No, I can't just sit here and wait for possibly...nothing.

He stood up, went upstairs to grab his purse. He decided to check on his friend, maybe something really came up. With that being said, the person bolted out of his home, determined to check about his friend's well-being.

But who would have thought, that earlier was the last time he would talk with his friend. And the next time they meet each other, his best friend already lost himself.

Somewhere hidden in people's plain sight...

"Breaking news, it has been reported that a crime occurred inside a convenience store located in the Cerulean park neighborhood. The police stated that the victim was a worker in that said store. Authorities claimed that the victim was shot in his head, causing him to die. The police are still trying their best to investigate the horrendous crime, it has been confirmed that there is no CCTV footage inside the store. If any of you could help solve the investigation, the authorities are knocking at your door for help—"

The voice coming from a radio was cut off, the perpetrator is a man wearing a black hood.

His face adorned with a satisfied grin, clearly enjoying what he heard. Sitting on a chair, his dark eyes darted toward the person currently laying on the bed. Standing up, he looked down on the figure laying from toe to head.

Eliminating the slight distance between him and the bed, he kneeled down. Taking a much closer look at the laying figure, his dark eyes, gleamed with strong desire to conquer.

Only he knows how much he craved for them to be this closed. No one in sight, just the two of them. The person, only for him to look and touch.

Just by looking at him, he couldn't repress it anymore. The man moves closer, his face touching the face of the sleeping figure. Like an animal starved of food, he savors the scent of the person. His hands caressing every bit of the laying figure. Going from places, where one shouldn't touch. Earning a quiet moan from the other person.

Hearing this made his breathing become more heavy, his jaw clenched from the intense emotion he feels. Just his moans....

The man closed his eyes, trying to calm the surging emotions in his heart.

No...he must wait, it's more satisfying if he submits to him accordingly. He must, because if not...

Thinking of this, the man gets up reluctantly. Giving enough distance between them, attempting to calm his unquenchable thirst. But his eyes, never leaving the unaware person.

He was only interrupted, when his pocket vibrated. Someone is calling him, he picks it up. Slightly annoyed by the person who interrupted him from his delectation.

"Boss, the evidence is all cleared. The police won't find any clues regarding the death of that shop personnel..." The voice from the other end of the line reported. His tone, full of respect toward the man.

"Hmmm, good...but next time don't you dare interrupt me, while I'm with my beloved....or else." The man said with authority in his voice. His deep voice laced with threats toward his attendant.

"Y..yes boss m..my a..pol..ogies" The other person in the call said with trepidation. His words, mumbling, at the thought of offending his higher up.

"B..boss, one more thing...what should we do about that friend of mister... He is now at mister house...He would surely cause trouble once he found out mister is missing..." The person asked his superior in a careful tone.

Hearing this the man's eyes darkened at the mention of that pest. Ah, he completely forgot about that bitch.

If not for that fucker existence, him and his beloved would be together forever. That bastard is an obstacle that hinders their love to bloom. But worry not, he would surely erase that creature's existence. He will give him a torturous death, slowly making him rot with pain. But now is not the time yet... he would take his time to watch with delight, as that creature realized that he would not be able to conquer his beloved.

"B..boss...?" The other line questioned cautiously when he heard no replies from his boss, afraid of making his superior mad.

With murderous intention surging in his head, the man replied, " Not yet...let that bitch suffer from misery first for what's never his..."

He said, making the person from the other end shiver from terror and pity for his boss next victim.

The call ended with that.

After that, the man sat down again in the chair. His eyes darkly gazing at the sleeping figure once again. With a fanatic emotion in his glare, the man stared at the figure, his thoughts unknown.

Then, a knock on the door was heard. A voice of an elderly lady sounded outside.

"Master, sorry to disturb but your uncle is here...he would like to talk with you..."

Sharply glaring at the door, the man stood up pissed when he was informed that an uninvited pest wants his time.

Another pest.

Looking at the man on his bed, his gloomy emotions were replaced with gentle emotion.

His expression softened at the sight of his beloved. But his mind said otherwise.

Luthor, my love, don't worry I'll eliminate those pests as soon as possible. I'll make sure no one else...but me....can claim you...You're mine.
