I stared at her message longer than I should have.

Join her meeting. Not just lunch. It's a formal meeting with her team.

My fingers hovered over the screen, hesitation creeping in like a warning I could not fully explain. Part of me wanted to decline. To stay invisible. To let her deal with the fallout without my presence becoming another variable.

But another part of me understood what this meant.

She was choosing to place me somewhere that mattered.

I replied after a few seconds.

Me:

Okay. I

  • ATTACHED WITH HER OBSESSION   Chapter 77

    Later, alone in the living room, I sat in the dim light and finally understood the depth of her fear.She didn’t doubt my love. She doubted permanence. She believed ambition and devotion could coexist—But not without consequence.And she was trying to absorb that consequence before it could hurt me. The problem was—It was already hurting me.I had stayed because she was my choice. But now I had to convince her that I wasn’t trapped. That I wasn’t diminished. That loving her didn’t feel like loss. Because if she kept stepping back, If she kept convincing herself she was temporary, then the only thing that would disappear— was us.And I wasn't wrong. A month had passed and Aria barely talks to me anymore. The last conversation that we had was about her decision to pursue her research abroad and postponing her clinic opening.It hurt me— not because I choose to stay but because she doesn't trust that I could still bloom here. With her.She planned so much about her career and she wanted

    Tears didn’t fall—but they gathered.“I don’t want to be the reason you stop growing,” she whispered.“You’re the reason I know what matters,” I said.Her lips trembled slightly.“And what if one day that changes?”I didn’t have an answer.Because love didn’t erase ambition.And ambition didn’t erase love.We stood there, caught between devotion and fear.I had stayed.But staying hadn’t solved anything.It had only shifted the battlefield.And now, instead of fighting my mother—I was fighting the woman I refused to lose.Not because she didn’t love me.But because she loved me enough to step back.And I didn’t know how to convince her that she was not my limitation.She was my choice.And yet she stood in front of me like she was preparing to become my sacrifice.The space between us felt fragile, like glass that hadn’t shattered yet but would if either of us breathed too hard.“Aria,” I said more softly this time, “why are you deciding what I’ll regret?”“I’m not deciding,” she rep

    I made my final decision the morning before the deadline. It wasn’t dramatic. No tears, no shaking hands hovering over the keyboard. Just clarity. I drafted the email slowly, reading every line twice before sending it. I thanked them for the offer. I acknowledged the prestige. I expressed sincere appreciation. And then I declined. Not because I was afraid. Not because I was pressured. But because every time I imagined boarding that plane, I saw Aria standing at a distance I could not measure. I could let an opportunity go. But I could not let her go. When I hit send, I expected panic. Instead, I felt still. Certain. I walked out of my office earlier than usual that day, the city moving around me in its usual rhythm. Cars, conversations, people rushing toward their own ambitions. For once, I didn’t feel like I was racing anyone. I was choosing. And I chose her. Aria was in the living room when I got home. She was sitting on the floor, back against the couch, fil

    The email came three days later. Subject line: Final Confirmation – Zuriché Executive Placement I stared at it longer than I should. Aria was across from me at the dining table, reviewing architectural revisions for her clinic. Highlighters scattered around her, glasses sliding down her nose slightly as she concentrated. For a moment, I didn’t open the email. Because unopened, it was still theoretical. Opened, it would become real. “Are you going to read it,” Aria asked softly without looking up, “or just intimidate it into disappearing?” I exhaled faintly. “You always know.” She finally lifted her gaze, calm but observant. “I can feel when you’re bracing.” That almost made me smile. I clicked. The offer was formal now. Detailed relocation package. Housing. Leadership authority. Immediate placement under a global expansion division. And at the bottom— Response required within seven days. Seven. My chest tightened. Aria watched my face carefully. “Dead

    That was the truth. Raw and uncomfortable. She nodded once. “Thank you for being honest.” We didn’t talk much after that. Not because there was nothing to say—but because saying it might have changed things too quickly. Over the next few days, our schedules began to overlap less. Not dramatically. Just enough to notice. She left early for meetings. I stayed up late answering emails. We still ate together when we could, still shared the same bed, still reached for each other instinctively—but something invisible had shifted. Not distance. Pressure. One afternoon, Xavier stopped by unannounced. Aria was out, meeting with a potential investor. The house felt quieter without her presence. “She’s impressive,” Xavier said casually as he watched me pace the kitchen. “Focused. Calm.” “She has to be,” I replied. “Everything’s on the line for her.” “And for you,” he added. I stopped pacing. “Do you think I’m being selfish?” He frowned. “Why would you ask that?” “Be

    Distance didn’t arrive all at once. It came quietly, disguised as responsibility. In the days that followed, my calendar filled up faster than I could process. Calls from brand representatives across different time zones. Emails marked urgent. Contracts that demanded answers without explicitly asking for them. Everything felt polite, professional—and relentless. Aria noticed before I did. “You’ve been staring at that screen for ten minutes,” she said one morning, handing me a mug of coffee. “And you haven’t blinked.” I smiled weakly. “Just thinking.” “That’s new,” she teased, but her eyes stayed on me longer than usual. I shrugged and took the mug. “They want a response by the end of the week.” “The Milan brand?” “Yes.” She nodded, leaning against the counter. “And the others?” “Waiting. Watching.” I hesitated. “Comparing.” She hummed thoughtfully. “That’s how they work.” I wanted to say more. I wanted to tell her that my mother had called again the night befor

    The resort felt different once the shoot ended.Not quieter but emptier. Like the place had finally exhaled after days of controlled chaos. By midmorning, luggage lined the lobby. Crew members hugged, exchanged numbers, and promised to work together again. Someone complained about early flights. So

    I tried calling her but Aria didn’t answer. Xavier is confused but he refused to ask and I’m grateful that he didn’t.My mind is too loud and I couldn’t help but overthink about us until I fell asleep. The next morning, there’s still no calls from her. No preplies.At first, I told myself she was b

    Reality doesn’t arrive all at once.It comes in pieces. In reminders. In the dull weight of routine slowly pressing its way back into places that were warm and reckless just days ago.The morning after Aria’s birthday didn’t feel dramatic. No grand declarations. No lingering sweetness wrapped in fa

    Aria’s expression looked bothered, any moment I knew she’d forget that we needed to be careful. So before she could do anything that would break us, I texted her.Me:I’m okay. Don’t let her get through us.Her face darkened for a moment then it relaxed. I don’t know how she did that so quickly but
