The Don’s Dangerous Addiction
“Take them off yourself, or I will do it for you.”
Ten sessions. Two hundred thousand dollars. Her brother’s life for her body.
Dr. Avery St. Clair signed a contract in blood. To save her family, she has to fix the mind of Obsidian City’s most feared monster, Dominic Kessler. He’s a Mafia Don rotting from the inside out. A bullet gave him C-PTSD and a touch so sensitive he can’t stand being touched. Avery is the only antidote who can calm him down. So he locked her in his villa.
But Dominic is playing a game he’s already lost.
He doesn’t know Avery is the woman from seven years ago. The stranger who saved him on that dark gambling ship and disappeared before sunrise.
He doesn’t know the scar on his wrist is burned into her memory.
And most of all, he doesn’t know the autistic little girl hiding in her clinic is his own daughter.
While Avery hides the truth behind her professional mask, their little girl feels his every nightmare. Every flashback. Every crack in his monster mask.
When the secrets finally come out, his empire will fall. He’ll lose his sight. His throne. The only woman who ever made him feel human.
To win her back, he’ll have to destroy the monster he became. And help her burn down the man who murdered her parents.
She won’t make it easy.
This is not a love story. It’s a monster learning to beg.

Chapter: Chapter 27 Trial Under the Embers"Twenty million! From Mr. Devereux in the second-floor box!"The auctioneer's voice cracked, fueled by pure, unadulterated adrenaline. He flourished his gavel, eyes darting across the room like a bookie whipping a coliseum crowd into a frenzy."Twenty million once! Do I hear any more? This is a landmark in Obsidian City's medical research history—the final legacy of the Claire Laboratory...""Thirty million."Dominic spoke. He raised his paddle slightly, his jaw set in a hard line. His voice wasn't loud, yet it hit the room like a boulder dropped into a still pond, triggering a wave of hushed gasps.His right hand remained clamped around Dr. Claire's fingers. His signet ring felt like a brand of ice—so cold it burned—threatening to embed itself into her flesh."Thirty-five million!"Behind the floor-to-ceiling curtains of the private box, Victor lazily raised his paddle again. He was half-shrouded in shadow, swirling a glass of red wine, his posture as casual as a man poking a trapped

Chapter: Chapter 26 The Auction of WolvesThe Obsidian City Annual Charity Gala was a masterpiece of organized hypocrisy.It was the ultimate battlefield disguised as a playground for the elite. A shimmering facade where power was flaunted like a weapon and reputations were traded or destroyed over glasses of vintage champagne.To the outside world, it was a night of philanthropy. To those within, it was a shark tank.The moment Dr. Claire stepped onto the crimson carpet beside Dominic, the atmosphere shifted.The air, already thick with the scent of expensive perfume and rain, seemed to crackle.A barrage of camera flashes erupted. A thousand tiny silver arrows of light threatened to strip her bare before the world.Avery felt a surge of instinctive panic. She moved to raise a hand to shield her eyes.But a heavy, searingly warm palm flattened against the small of her back before she could flinch.Dominic.Standing tall in a flawlessly tailored black tuxedo, he looked less like a donor and more like a god of cold marble and

Chapter: Chapter 25 A Dangerous SymbiosisWhen Avery opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Dominic's Adam's apple, inches from her face.The taut line of his throat shifted slightly with each steady breath. She realized, with a jolt of panic, that at some point she had wrapped her arms around him, her fingers still clutching the fabric of his shirt. Beneath the thin layers of their clothes, the heat of their skin felt heavy, almost viscous, tangling them together.The sheer intimacy of it made her brain short-circuit. She instinctively recoiled."Awake?"His voice was a sandpaper rasp. Dominic didn't open his eyes; instead, he tightened his hold, his strength sheer and arrogant as he crushed her back against him, erasing the inch of space she had just fought to gain.Avery collided with his rock-hard chest, her senses flooded by his scent—bitter pine and burnt shadows."Dominic, let go," she hissed, her heart hammering so hard it felt like it would shatter her ribs.Only then did Dominic open his eyes. They were shot t

Chapter: Chapter 24 The Calm Before the StormAvery pushed open the back door, trying to get some fresh air to suppress the overwhelming nausea that had been crashing through her skull all night.By the back door on the first floor, Drake was leaning against the wall, smoking. Cigarette butts littered the ground at his feet. As Avery walked past, he spoke."The North End warehouse. Boss signed it over last night."Avery stopped in her tracks and looked at him, stunned."That was the only deep-water port in Obsidian City. He almost got stabbed to death at the docks last year trying to hold onto that place. Every faction in the city wanted a piece of it. And he just handed it over.""Why?""To protect you!" Drake threw his half-finished cigarette to the ground."Victor wanted your blood sample. That was his leverage. Dr.Clair, Boss was cutting off his own limb. You should take a good look."He shoved a folder against Avery's chest.Avery walked into the kitchen gripping the folder. And stopped dead.Dominic was standing at the stov

Chapter: Chapter 23 The Awakening of the CommandAvery was woken by Dorothea's small hand patting her face."Mommy, the sun's already up. Way up."She snapped her eyes open and glanced at the clock.11:40.She had slept for nearly twelve hours.Dorothea was already dressed, her rabbit tucked under one arm and an unwrapped strawberry candy clutched in her fist."Mrs. Cooper said if you don't get up soon, I'm going to eat all the cake myself."Avery touched her daughter's hair. Her throat was so dry she could barely push the words out. "...I'm up."She washed up as fast as she could. She put on a turtleneck, the collar snug against her throat, hiding the red marks left from yesterday's struggle in the ruins.The moment she sat down at the table, Mrs. Cooper told her that Dominic had locked himself in the study since early morning. No one was allowed in except Drake. Aside from the occasional sound, it was so quiet it made her chest tight."Mommy, that uncle is broken today."Dorothea was crouched on her chair, twisting one of her rabb

Chapter: Chapter 22 Violent TendernessEarly that morning, the silence was shattered by a photograph sent from an unrecognized string of characters.It was the aftermath of the fire seven years ago.The blackened window frames were twisted in agony; in front of the laboratory ruins stood a slender young boy. Even with his back turned and the image blurred, the oppressive gloom radiating from him was enough to make the blood run cold.Avery zoomed in.The boy's right hand was clenched around a silver lighter. A specific nick on the corner caught her eye—a mark she herself had left when she was seven years old.Coincidence didn't stretch this far. The same silver lighter. The same distinctive dent.It was impossible."Who are you? Where did this photo come from?"Avery's fingers trembled as she typed her inquiry, but she was met only by a string of glaring red exclamation marks. Failure to send."Mommy, your heart is beating so fast." Dorothea had woken up without her noticing, her small hand cupping Avery's icy cheek."It's
