∆NO POV∆

"Strange," Sorin remarked with a grin, glancing sideways at Zachary. "Are you really the Zachary I know? Since when did you start praising your enemies instead of insulting them?"

A faint smile appeared on Zachary's face as he looked out the window. "Maybe I learned it from Ezekiel. He never underestimates anyone, no matter how insignificant they seem."

Sorin let out a quiet laugh and shook his head in amusement. "I still can't decide whether he's a good influence on you or a terrible

  • 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

  • A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION    A NOTE ON THE TABLE

    ∆NO POV∆"Long night, huh?" Sorin remarked as the heavy front doors of the mansion swung shut behind them with a dull thud.His voice carried its usual mixture of amusement and exhaustion as he loosened the tie around his neck. "You know, at this point I'm starting to believe trouble waiting for you to leave the city before deciding to show up."Zachary slipped off his gloves without looking at him. "It would've been disappointing if it didn't."Sorin let out a tired laugh. "I walked right into that one."The spacious entrance hall fell quiet as they stepped farther inside.It was well past midnight.After everything that had happened throughout the day, even the silence felt heavy.Dried blood still stained Zachary's skin beneath his dark coat, though he hadn't bothered changing clothes since leaving the clearing. Between the ambush, the negotiations, the hospital visit, and everything that followed, fatigue had settled deep into his bones.He wanted nothing more than a hot shower an

    ∆EZEKIEL∆"Open the damn door, Zeke.... I know you’re inside." Madison’s voice crashed through the silence of my apartment along with the violent pounding that rattled the door on its hinges.I didn’t move.I lay flat on my back, staring at the ceiling that hadn’t changed in three days, watching t

  • A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION    HIS CRUEL REMINDER

    ∆EZEKIEL∆“Start whenever you want, Ezekiel.” Raymond’s voice came out very casually and I frowned at those words.“Whenever I want?” I repeated, my brows pulling together. “Are we really planning an operation… or are you sending me to die?”Raymond didn’t answer immediately. He simply stared at me

  • A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION    FOR HER, I'LL WALK INTO DARKNESS

    ∆EZEKIEL∆"What about her?" I asked slowly. "You are aware her condition is getting worse and you don't have the money for the transplant. You don’t have enough money, and you won’t be able to raise it in time." Raymond sneered, while watching my reaction carefully.I clenched my fist not understa

    ∆EZEKIEL POV∆"I'm on my way!"That's all I managed to say before I hung up the call and the rest is history.Before I could even think about how I managed to rush out of the hotel room with scattered dressing like a hooligan, the cab pulled to a stop outside the location Ryan had sent.
