Chapter: Chapter 194 A Place Without a CaseThe pickup pulled up in front of the Main Peak building.The moment the truck stopped, someone walked out the main entrance.Rowan came down the steps quickly with Darcy's thick coat over his arm and opened the door for her. He didn't give Silas in the truck a second glance. He draped the coat over Darcy's shoulders and pulled the front closed.Silas leaned on the steering wheel, tilted his head, and raised an eyebrow at Rowan. He chewed on a toothpick and said nothing.Rowan helped Darcy out and looked down at her arm. "It's cold. Let's go upstairs. The West District paperwork came in."Darcy waved at Silas in the truck. "Drive slow."Silas hit the gas. The big pickup swung around, kicking up snow, and drove off.Darcy rode the elevator to the executive offices with Rowan.Inside, she took off her coat and dropped into the big leather chair. Rowan poured a cup of steaming hot water and set a thick stack of documents in front of her."All three of Hall's private storehouses are sealed

Chapter: Chapter 193 Where He Learned to StayAt one-fifty in the afternoon, an old black pickup pulled up in the snow outside the Main Peak building.Darcy opened the door and climbed in. She braced her right arm in its sling with one hand. The moment she settled into the seat, Silas leaned across from the driver's side, his whole body blocking out the space in front of the passenger seat.He was too big. The heat hit her first, a warm male smell mixed with fresh soap and dry tobacco.Darcy's back pressed into the seat.Silas's thick arm reached across her chest and pulled the seatbelt over. A thick wool pad was wrapped around it, positioned right over her collarbone.The buckle clicked shut.He didn't sit back right away.Silas planted both elbows on either side of her seat, leaning in low, covering her completely. They were too close. His hot breath hit her lips.He pressed his callused thumb against the soft wool pad on her chest, then his fingertip slid up and brushed lightly under her cold chin."Let me get it. Don't strain

Chapter: Chapter 192 You Can Lean on MeThe moment they stepped into the suite, Asher kicked the heavy oak door shut behind them.The lock clicked. He scooped Darcy up in one motion, carried her through the entryway in long strides, and set her gently on the edge of the big bed.Asher dropped to both knees on the carpet with a thud. His hands flew to the buttons of her heavy outer robe, his movements so fast they shook. The robe slid off her shoulders. Asher caught her left hand and turned it over and over in his palms.The back of her hand was smooth. The knuckles were clean and pale. Not even a red mark.Asher kept his head down, his thumb rubbing back and forth across the soft center of Darcy's palm, his breathing rough.

Chapter: Chapter 191: The Hand She OfferedAsher's head was still buried in the curve of Darcy's neck, his breath heavy and hot against her collarbone.The weight made her neck ache. Two hundred people below the platform were staring at them. The hall was so quiet a pin drop would have echoed.She didn't pull away. She raised her uninjured left hand and pressed her palm to the back of his hot neck.The man's skin was hard as iron, the tendons pulled tight. The short, stiff hair at the back of his head prickled against her palm. Darcy rubbed the soft flesh at the nape of his neck gently, stroking along his hair."Your shoulder?" Asher's voice was muffled against her collar, his jaw trembling.

Chapter: Chapter 190 Let the Pack Hear HerThe heavy iron doors of the great hall were pushed open from both sides. The two hundred-odd people seated inside turned their heads as one.Darcy stepped over the threshold in flat boots. Her right arm was in the gray sling, a loose black gown over her frame, the left sleeve rolled to her forearm, exposing her wrist.Asher walked half a step ahead of her, his broad, solid back like a wall, blocking the cold draft that rushed at them.Eight high-backed wooden chairs sat on the p

Chapter: Chapter 189 What He Could Ask ForAsher's rough hand was still on Darcy's cheek. His palm was hot as a fresh coal, but his fingers were stiff.The heat against her face cleared the last of the sleep from Darcy's head.The man in front of her had eyes bloodshot with fatigue. His back teeth were clenched. The muscle in his jaw twitched in hard knots. The only sound in the room was the dry wood crackling in the fireplace.Darcy pushed herself up from the sofa. Her right arm shifted in the sling. Asher's big hand im

“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 245 A Love That Shakes the City (The Grand Finale)The morning light of Obsidian City spilled over every spire of Kessler Estate. The city's full security and seas of flowers intertwined, laying a wedding red carpet that stretched for miles. Thousands of blooms lined the streets, their colors vivid against the grey stone of the ancient city. The air was thick with the scent of roses and the hum of excited whispers from the crowds gathered along the route. The distant sound of church bells echoed across the rooftops, calling the city to witness a love that would be remembered for generations. Children perched on their parents' shoulders, straining for a better view, while the elderly wiped tears of joy from their eyes.Inside the master bedroom, Avery stood before the floor-length mirror in her dream wedding gown, adorned with rare black diamonds and pure white silk. The train spread out like a river of stars, making her already striking beauty even more radiant and regal. The gown had been fitted perfectly, every seam a testa

Chapter: Chapter 244 A Ceremony of GloryDawn broke over Obsidian City. The first rays of light pierced through the morning mist, and the entire city stirred to life under a heavy, charged silence. The streets were lined with onlookers, the air thick with anticipation. Security personnel stood at every corner, their postures rigid, their eyes scanning the crowds for any sign of trouble. The city had not seen such a gathering in decades, and every soul present understood the weight of the moment.In the VIP lounge, Avery stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, carefully adjusting the collar of her mother's formal gown. The fabric was rich and elegant, a deep shade of sapphire that brought warmth to her mother's pale features. She smoothed the fabric with gentle hands, making sure every fold was perfect. Her mother's eyes, still clouded from the trauma of years past, darted nervously at the grand spectacle outside the window. Her fingers curled tightly around the edge of Avery's sleeve, seeking comfort in the famili

Chapter: Chapter 243 A Love That Moves the CityOn the runway of Obsidian City's private airport, a grand lineup of top-tier vehicles had already formed an impressive formation. The cars gleamed under the morning light, their polished surfaces reflecting the clear sky above. Security personnel stood at attention, their postures rigid and professional, a testament to the importance of the occasion. The atmosphere was one of solemn anticipation, as if the city itself was holding its breath.When the black convoy slowly rolled through the ornate iron gates of Kessler Estate, the entire estate had been transformed. The main building's most comfortable, sun-drenched master suite had been prepared. Top medical teams and the head housekeeper led dozens of servants in a welcoming formation. Their expressions were filled with genuine respect, a far cry from the cold formality of the past.Looking at the grand, sprawling architecture and the sea of flowers outside the window, Avery led her mother and brother by the hand into

Chapter: Chapter 242 Final ReckoningNight deepened. The narrow alleys of the old district were damp and cold. A chill wind swirled fallen leaves across the weathered brick walls. The air carried the faint scent of wet stone and distant rain. The streetlights cast weak, yellow pools of light on the uneven pavement. Somewhere in the distance, a dog barked once, then fell silent. The silence that followed felt heavier than any sound.Standing on the balcony, Avery wore Dominic's coat. It still carried the faint scent of sandalwood. The fabric was warm around her shoulders, a quiet comfort against the night chill. Her cool eyes looked down through the night, past the black armored vehicles parked below, to the desperate figures gathered in the alley. Her fingers rested lightly on the railing. The metal was cold beneath her touch. She remembered a time when she had stood in shadows like these, afraid and alone. Now she stood in the light, with the most powerful man in the city at her side.Kneeling on the dam

Chapter: Chapter 241 Is Sunset City Truly Calm?Outside the VIP express lane of Sunset City, the afternoon sun poured down without restraint, warm and golden.Leaning against Dominic's broad, steady arm, Avery looped her hand through his. Her cool eyes swept over the crowd gathered at the end of the lane. The old nobles of Sunset City had once kicked her when she was down. Now they were dressed in their finest formal wear, craning their necks with ingratiating, false smiles. They were desperate to catch a glimpse of her. Their faces were painted with forced warmth, their hands clasped in front of them as if greeting a long-lost friend rather than someone they had once scorned. The desperation in their eyes was almost palpable."Dr. Clair! Oh, it has been so long! We heard you were coming back..." One of the leading old nobles pushed forward, trying to use their "old acquaintance" status to get close. His voice was oily, dripping with practiced charm.Before he could take two steps, a dozen black-suited elite

Chapter: Chapter 240 A New Chapter of ThunderThe dark night lay heavy over the ancient, somber ancestral hall of the Devereux family.Leaning against the carved antique wooden chair, Avery stood in her crisp white suit, arms crossed. As a witness to this final purge, she could clearly feel the suffocating tension in the air. It was the absolute pressure that preceded the arrival of Obsidian City's ruler. It was like the stillness before a storm. The elders' faces were drawn tight. Their eyes darted nervously, each one trying to read the room and find an escape that no longer existed.In the center of the hall, several of the most senior branch elders of the Devereux family huddled together. Their faces were dark with defiance. Their voices rose in a chorus of protest, each one trying to sound bolder than the last."Dominic! Victor is gone, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want! The family trust funds and core shares are still in our hands. Without our signatures, you have no legitimate claim!
