FOURFOLD OBSESSION: Chained By Their Desires
**FOURFOLD OBSESSION**
Some nights are supposed to disappear by morning.
Mia Calloway had one rule: never learn a stranger's name before midnight ends. No names, no consequences, no complications — just one reckless night before she flew across an ocean to move in with a stepfamily she'd never met.
She never expected to see him again.
She definitely never expected there to be four of him to choose from.
Now she's living in a house with four stepbrothers — and one of them already knows exactly how her breath catches when she's not being careful. The only problem? She has no idea which one.
Is it the eldest, cold and controlled, who looks at her like a problem he hasn't finished solving?
The quiet one, who says almost nothing — and somehow makes every silence feel like a confession?
The golden one, easy and unguarded, who might be hiding the most careful lie of all behind that grin?
Or the one who can't stop staring at her mouth like he's trying not to remember something he can't forget?
Every glance is a clue. Every almost-touch is a trap. And the closer Mia gets to the truth, the more she starts to wonder if she even wants to find it — because finding it means the one good, uncomplicated night of her life is about to become the most complicated thing she's ever survived.
Four brothers. One secret. And a truth that's going to burn this family down the second it comes out.
**Who was he? You'll have to turn the page to find out — and you won't want to stop until you do.**

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHT: UNHEARDMIA'S POV For one absurd, suspended second, neither of us moved. Sebastian's chest was still rising too fast under my palms, his eyes still fixed on my mouth like he hadn't fully surrendered the argument he'd lost thirty seconds ago, and I stood there frozen between *don't* and *please*, praying whoever was on the other side of that door would just go away.They knocked again. Harder."Mia. It's Julian." A pause, clipped and deliberate. "Open the door or I open it myself."Sebastian's jaw tightened. He didn't move away from me — if anything his hand came up, briefly, like he meant to touch my face — and then he seemed to catch himself and stepped back fast, putting the whole width of the room between us, like distance was the only apology he had left to give.I opened the door with my pulse still slamming in my throat.Julian stood in the hallway in a dry shirt, hair still damp at the collar from the lake, his expression arranged into something so carefully neutral it was its own kin

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVEN: THE PARTY I WASN'T INVITED TOMIA'S POV I found out about the party by accident, the way I seemed to find out about everything in that house — a text left open on the kitchen counter, Finn's phone lighting up while he ran upstairs for his jacket, a single line glowing on the screen before it locked itself again.*Everyone's already at the lake house. Don't bring the new girl.*Don't bring the new girl.I stood there in the kitchen for a long moment, feeling something hot and humiliating climb up the back of my throat. Three days since the terrace. Three days of Sebastian being careful and distant, of Finn being just slightly too bright, of Julian watching all of us like a man cataloguing a problem he hadn't decided how to solve yet — and apparently, underneath all of it, there'd been a whole other life happening without me. A party. A lake house. A version of this family that closed ranks the second I wasn't looking.I told myself I didn't care. I told myself that twice, which was becoming a habit with me, and it

Chapter: CHAPTER SIX: THE GAME NOBODY ELSE KNEWMIA'S POV Warren announced the dinner party at breakfast like it was nothing — *just a few of my colleagues, nothing formal, wear something nice* — and I watched all four of his sons react in four completely different ways, and hated myself a little for cataloguing that too.Julian didn't look up from his coffee. Theo asked what time, the only question he apparently thought was worth the words. Finn groaned theatrically about ties. And Sebastian went very still for exactly one second before agreeing, easily, like the stillness had never happened at all.I was starting to think I was losing my mind. Everything was a clue now. Every pause, every inflection, every time one of them reached for a glass instead of answering me directly — I'd turned this house into a crime scene and myself into the world's least qualified detective, and the worst part was I couldn't stop.So when Warren mentioned, almost as an afterthought, that his sons would need to help "look after" the twelve-year-old d

Chapter: CHAPTER FIVE: PROCESS OF ELIMINATIONMIA'S POV I didn't confront Sebastian. I'd meant to — I'd walked out onto that terrace with the whole accusation loaded and ready — but the moment I saw his face, careful and closed and giving away exactly nothing, I lost my nerve for a different reason than I expected.I realized I didn't actually want it to be a confrontation. I wanted it to be true. And those were two very different things to want at six in the morning with no sleep behind me."You're staring," Sebastian said, without turning around."Am I?""You've been staring since you walked out here. It's a specific kind of staring. I'd like to know what I did to earn it."*Everything*, I almost said. *Nothing. I don't actually know yet, and that's the problem.*"Julian said you've been in a mood for three days," I said instead, testing. "Since right before I arrived."Something shifted behind his eyes — there and gone so fast I couldn't have sworn to it in a courtroom. "Julian talks too much before he's had coffee.""That's

Chapter: CHAPTER FOUR: THE WATCHMIA'S POV I didn't sleep. I lay in an unfamiliar bed doing the same math over and over — *nothing memorable* against *that night*, Sebastian's careful stillness against the crack in his voice right before Finn's interruption — and by six in the morning I'd talked myself into three different conclusions and out of all of them twice.So when I couldn't stand my own head anymore, I went looking for coffee, and found Julian already in the kitchen instead, dressed for a Sunday like it was a Monday board meeting, reading something on his phone with the particular stillness of a man who resented being interrupted before he'd finished his first cup."You're up early," he said, not looking up."Jet lag." It was becoming my default excuse for everything, and it wasn't even entirely a lie. "You're up early too.""I'm always up early. It's the only part of the day nobody else has ruined yet." He said it dryly, but there was something almost like humor underneath it, the first hint I'd caught tha

Chapter: CHAPTER THREE: FOUR VOICES IN THE DARKMIA'S POV My room was on the third floor, at the end of a hallway that smelled like fresh paint and old money, and the first thing I did once the door clicked shut behind me was sit on the edge of an unfamiliar bed and try to remember his voice.Not the words. The words I had memorized without trying — *I'd rather not know yours either* — but words could belong to anyone. What I needed was the shape of it. The particular low register, the way it had dropped a half-step quieter right before he said something he meant. I closed my eyes in a stranger's guest room and replayed three nights ago like a recording I was only allowed to hear once, and by the time Warren knocked on my door to call me down for dinner, I had exactly nothing to show for it except a headache and four faces I couldn't stop comparing to a voice in the dark.Dinner was its own kind of ambush.The dining room was long enough that conversation had to travel, which meant most of it didn't bother — Warren talked, mostly
