The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

"Oh. I am so sorry about that." I apologized profusely.

The heat in my cheeks increased as the seconds went by.

"You don't have to say sorry for something like that. You can't control it. Are you new around here?" The stranger asked, "By the way, my name is Michael."

"Great name. My name is Sophia." I replied.

There were a few reasons why I didn't want to tell this man my real name and it wasn't related to the fact that I might not trust him.

Firstly, telling him my name would be a very big risk. A secret that wouldn't be revealed was a secret that wasn't spoken out loud.

If I make any attempt to tell this man my real name, it would no longer be a secret. Revealing my name was equivalent to revealing my location and my tracks.

All the work I did to come to this area undetected would be in vain.

Secondly, I didn't want to implicate this man with my matters. I felt like exchanging real names would close some of the distance between us and that wasn't something I wanted.

"Your name is great too. Sophia, you haven't responded to my question yet." Michael reminded.

I nodded.

"Yes, I am new around this area. I am going through a personal crisis that I can mention right now." I responded.

Michael nodded considerably, "Sophia, what do you think about this suggestion? You can follow me to my house and I would host you for as long as you want. Once you are back on your feet, you can leave. The initiative would be in your hands entirely."

I wouldn't lie, Michael's suggestion was very tempting. Still, I felt like it was weird for someone to go up to a stranger and offer accommodation to them without knowing their power or their history.

Although I knew there were good people out there that usually do something like that, it still felt strange to me.

I thought about Michael's suggestion over and over.

Sadly, there was only one available option for me to pick from. I have no other choice but to accept his suggestion.

I don't have the strength to scour this area for where to eat. There was no assurance that there would be a prize for me at the end of that endeavor. I can't waste the little energy I have now for something unprofitable.

When Michael spoke, I had observed him carefully. He was thin and he looked weak. I don't know if he had a superpower yet but on the surface, I feel like I can stop him if he attempts anything fishy.

I wouldn't stay in his house for as long as I want like Micheal had suggested. I would just stay for a night and then, I would get myself out of this area tomorrow.

I didn't completely trust Michael though so I wasn't going to say all my plans to him.

I looked up and stared at him with gratitude shining in my pupils, "Michael, your suggestion sounds great. Thank you so much for this sacrifice."

Michael waved his hand, "It is actually nothing. I am just doing what I can where I can. I always wished that if I was in a bad spot, someone would help me. Doing little things like this is like sowing seeds for me."

I smiled as I nodded, "That is very understandable."

"Do you still want to wait around or should we leave now?" Michael asked.

"Let's leave now." I replied as I rose to my feet.

Soon, Michael led the way.

I followed him closely.

After walking for a few minutes, Michael finally brought me to his house.

His house was near the area I had collapsed in. He was living near the ocean.

I inhaled the air and a little bit of strength returned to my body.noveldrama

"This is my humble abode. Welcome." Michael introduced as he pointed at the house.

I nodded with a polite smile on my lips.

He unlocked the door and went in. I copied his actions. The house was not big but at the same time, it wasn't small either.

It was just right for a man that lived alone.

The first thing I needed was food and then after that, I wanted a refreshing bath.

The filth on me was disturbing my mental state seriously. I wasn't about to dictate to my benefactor though. I just stood quietly.

"Sophia, take a seat. I would prepare the room you would be staying. It might be on the smaller side so bear with me." Michael said.

I didn't know he was referring to me at first. My eyes scanned the living room for the missing 'Sophia'. Then, I realized my fake name was Sophia.

I replied, "Anything is fine, Michael. I am the one asking for help, I don't have the right to ask for privileges."

Micheal shook his head with an amused smile.

He disappeared into the depths of his house a second later. Without his presence, everything felt a little bit darker somehow. I combed my environs repeatedly.

Michael didn't have a television and other similar things but his house was cozy. Suddenly, a rough knock landed on the door. I paused as my eyes focused on the metal door.

The person outside the door was clearly impatient. More knocks landed on the door and the intensity was increasing.

The door was made of metal but it was vibrating like there was no tomorrow.

It looked like the visitor outside the door was about to tear the door off its hinges.
