"Already feeling bad about leaving her?" Sorin asked with a knowing smile as the two of them stepped out of the hospital.

The automatic glass doors slid shut behind them with a soft hiss, and the cool night air greeted them, carrying the distant hum of traffic and the faint scent of rain lingering over the city.

Zachary slipped both hands into his coat pockets, his expression calm as his gaze lingered on the hospital building for a brief moment before he finally replied.

  • A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION    I MISSED HEARING IT

    ∆EZEKIEL POV∆"So, you seriously booked the entire place just to spend with me?" Zachary asked as he looked around the quiet guest house, a trace of amusement lingering in his voice while we stepped through the wooden entrance together.I nodded after locking the door behind us. "I wanted somewhere no one would disturb us."The words slipped out before I could stop them.For a brief second, neither of us spoke.A slow smile spread across Zachary's face as he turned to look at me."That sentence sounds far more dangerous than you probably intended."I felt warmth creep into my face and immediately looked away."I meant... I just wanted somewhere quiet.""I know.".His smile only deepened. "I simply enjoy watching you panic."I sighed in defeat. "You really do have too much free time.""And yet," he replied smoothly, "you still choose to spend yours with me."There was no answer I could give to that.Instead, I walked farther into the guest house, pretending to admire the interior even t

  • A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION    I'LL ALWAYS FOLLOW

    ∆EZEKIEL POV∆"Where are we going?"Zachary asked in a usual calm voice, with full of amusement as he stepped away from the table, effortlessly slipping his hands into the pockets of his dark coat.The waiter had already cleared away our coffee cups, and the rooftop restaurant had begun to empty as the night grew deeper. Warm lights reflected across the polished floor while the cool breeze carried the distant sounds of the city below.I picked up my car keys from the table, trying not to let my nervousness show. "I need you to come with me."One of Zachary's eyebrows rose almost immediately. "That sounds suspicious.""It isn't.""It definitely is."A faint smile tugged at my lips despite the storm raging inside my chest. "I'm serious.""So am I." He stepped closer until only a short distance separated us. "You ask me to follow you somewhere without telling me where we're going, and then you expect me not to be suspicious?""I didn't say you couldn't be suspicious." I tried to force a

  • A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION    JUST COFFEE

    ∆EZEKIEL'S POV∆"You're early."The familiar voice pulled me away from the thoughts that had been tormenting me for the last twenty minutes.I looked up from my wristwatch and saw the waiter standing beside my table with a polite smile. He held a glass bottle in one hand and a menu in the other."You've been checking the time every few minutes," he continued kindly. "Would you like me to bring you anything while you wait, sir?"I forced a small smile."Just coffee."The waiter nodded before disappearing toward the counter, leaving me alone once again.I leaned back in my chair and slowly exhaled, letting my gaze wander around the quiet rooftop restaurant.It wasn't crowded.A handful of couples occupied the tables near the edge, their conversations blending softly with the gentle melody playing through the hidden speakers. Warm golden lights hung overhead, swaying lazily whenever the evening breeze drifted across the rooftop. Beyond the glass railing, the city stretched endlessly ben

  • A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION    I'M NOT TRYING TO REASSURE YOU

    ∆NO POV∆"Let me make it clear to you," Ezekiel said as he moved around the table. Stopping beside the map, he placed both hands on its edges before pointing at two locations marked with red circles. At first glance, they looked almost identical, but to him, they served two entirely different purposes.Ryan pushed himself out of his chair and walked over, studying the markings with a slight frown. "They look almost the same," he observed. "What's the difference?"Ezekiel tapped the first location with the tip of his pen. "This is the information Raymond will receive." His voice remained calm and measured as he continued, "I'll tell him Zachary is expected to stay at this particular place at eleven o'clock tonight…. I'll make the report sound urgent enough that he'll believe he has to take control of the operation himself instead of leaving it to someone else, since he is the one who wants to eliminate Zachary.” Ryan nodded slowly before shifting his attention to the second mark. "And

  • A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION    HE'LL WALK STRAIGHT INTO THE TRAP HIMSELF

    ∆NO POV∆"I think I'm late," Ryan said as he stepped into Ezekiel's apartment, his voice sounded casual, though the concern beneath it was impossible to miss. He quietly stood in the same place for a few seconds, before glancing at the clock mounted on the wall. "Or should I say…. you're still awake?"Ezekiel didn't answer immediately.He remained standing beside the large table in the middle of the living room, completely absorbed in the sea of maps, files, photographs, and surveillance reports spread out before him. Every inch of the tabletop had disappeared beneath neatly arranged documents marked with red circles, arrows, and short handwritten notes in his precise handwriting.Ryan let out a low whistle as he slowly approached."I leave you alone for one evening," he muttered, looking over the mountain of paperwork, "and you turn your apartment into a war room."Only then did Ezekiel lift his head.A tired smile flickered across his face before disappearing almost as quickly."I

  • A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION    IT FINALLY FEELS LIKE HOME

    ∆NO POV∆"Looks like you've accepted it already," Sorin remarked with a burst of laughter as he leaned lazily against the dining room doorway. Folding his arms across his chest, he looked Zachary up and down before shaking his head in mock disbelief. "Especially Ezekiel's bossy side. A few months ago, if someone had told me you'd quietly follow another person's instructions without arguing, I would've laughed in their face…. Yet here you are, coming home after days away and doing exactly what he told you to do.... What a devoted husband you've turned into! I wish those old bastards know this side of yours before they call you ruthless!" Almost unconsciously, Zachary's fingers brushed against the folded letter tucked inside his coat pocket, as though reassuring himself that it was still there.A warm smile crossed his face as he pulled out a chair and sat down. "He asked me to eat," he replied calmly. "It would've been rude to ignore the effort he put into all of this.""Oh, don't gi

    ∆EZEKIEL POV∆"Call the doctor… now."The only thing I could hear was a voice, despite darkness pressing down on me, thick and suffocating, like I was drowning somewhere between sleep and something far worse.I couldn’t open my eyes, I couldn’t move either, even breathing felt distant, like my body

    "That mouth of yours will get you punched one day," Zachary muttered, and his voice low with irritation.Ezekiel let out a hollow laugh, the sound lacking any real humor. "Go ahead… do it if that makes you feel better. I’m not stopping you anyway." Zachary frowned slightly at that, something in hi

  • A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION    MORE THAN BROKEN

    "Do I have to keep living like this…? Is there really no end?"The thought echoed faintly in Ezekiel’s mind, dull and heavy, like something that had been repeated too many times to still carry surprise."No matter what I do… no matter how hard I try… it always comes back to this."The car door had

    ••NO POV••"Don’t give me that look," Zachary’s voice turned sharp, "You were the one begging to pay me back."His blood boiled... He wanted fear.... He wanted desperate submission. But th... this broken, empty shell, made the whole thing feel disgusting and unsatisfying. "Yes, I did and I'm payi
