Accidental OBSESSION CHAPTER 14 : The Name They Erased
Arabella’s POVI read the message again.Your name was deliberately removed from the Sterling family records when you were a child.I looked at Alexander through the phone as though he could somehow explain the words.“Why would my name be in your family’s records?”“I don’t know yet.”“Alexander, that’s not an answer.”“I know.”I stood from my bed and began pacing.“First, I discover that we knew each other as children. Then I find out my father worked for your grandfather. Now someone is telling me that my name was deliberately erased from your family’s records.”“Arabella—”“No. I need you to understand something. I am not going to wake up tomorrow and discover that I’m secretly related to half of Bellacourt.”I heard him sigh.“I promise you, I don’t have an explanation for that.”“Then who does?”“My mother.”I stopped pacing.“Victoria?”“Yes. She’s the one who sent me the message.”I looked at the email on my laptop.“And what about the Hayes Trust?”There was a pause.“Send m
Accidental OBSESSION CHAPTER 13 : Before We Became Strangers
Arabella’s POVI couldn’t stop staring at the photograph.Two children stood in front of a beautiful garden, their hands almost touching. The little boy wore a navy sweater and dark trousers. His hair was neatly combed, and his grey eyes were fixed on the camera with an expression that suggested he had already decided the world was an inconvenience.The little girl beside him wore a yellow dress. Her dark curls fell around her shoulders, and she was smiling.I recognised that smile.It was mine.I turned the photograph over again.Alexander and Arabella.My father’s words continued to echo in my head.You and Alexander knew each other long before this.I looked at him.“Daddy, what are you talking about?”He rubbed his face.“Your mother and I lived at Sterling House for a while.”I blinked.“Sterling House? The place where Alexander lives?”He nodded.“When you were little, your mother and I were employed by the Sterling family. I worked closely with Edward Sterling, and your mother
Accidental OBSESSION CHAPTER 12 : The Woman in the Photograph
Arabella’s POVI zoomed in on the photograph until the image became slightly blurry.There was no mistaking her.The elegant posture. The familiar silver-blonde hair. The face turned slightly towards the camera.Victoria Sterling.Alexander’s mother.I stared at the photograph, then at the email beneath it.Your father wasn’t the only one who betrayed Edward Sterling.My stomach twisted.What did that mean?Was Victoria involved in the financial scandal? Had she known my father was innocent? Had she helped conceal the truth?And why was someone sending me these photographs instead of simply telling me what they knew?I picked up my phone and called Alexander.He answered almost immediately.“Arabella?”“I received another email.”His voice became serious.“What does it say?”“There’s a photograph attached.”“Of whom?”“Your mother. She’s standing beside my father and your grandfather.”Silence.Then he asked, “When was the photograph taken?”“I don’t know. It looks old.”“Send it to m
Accidental OBSESSION CHAPTER 11 : The Secret My Father Kept
Arabella’s POVI didn’t sleep.Not properly, anyway.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the anonymous messages.Ask your father what happened to the Sterling family twenty-six years ago.And don’t trust Victoria Sterling.I had read them so many times that I could almost recite them from memory.By seven in the morning, I gave up pretending I was going to fall asleep.I climbed out of bed, wrapped myself in a dressing gown, and walked into the kitchen.My phone was on the counter.Alexander had sent three messages overnight.Alexander: Have you arrived home safely?Alexander: Please let me know when you wake up.Alexander: I’ll have Daniel contact you this morning. We need to discuss the messages.I smiled faintly.Despite everything happening, he had remembered to check on me.I typed a reply.Me: I’m awake. And yes, I’m home.His response came almost immediately.Alexander: Good morning. Did you sleep?I stared at the screen.Me: Define sleep.Alexander: I’ll take that as a no.Me:
Accidental OBSESSION CHAPTER 10 : The Woman Who Knew My Name
Arabella’s POVThere were three things I had learned about wealthy people.First, they had too many houses.Second, they considered a simple dinner an event that required an entire wardrobe change.And third, their mothers could be considerably more intimidating than their sons.Unfortunately, I was about to experience all three.It was Wednesday evening, and I stood in front of my bedroom mirror, staring at the woman looking back at me.I had changed outfits twice.The first dress looked too formal. The second made me feel as though I was attending a job interview.I finally settled on a fitted black midi dress with a modest neckline, a pair of elegant heels, and small gold earrings. My dark hair fell in loose waves around my shoulders.Nothing excessive.Nothing that screamed, Please accept me into your billionaire family.I stepped back.“Good enough.”My phone rang.Olivia.I answered.“Don’t start.”She laughed.“I haven’t said anything!”“You were about to.”“Fine. Show me the o
Accidental OBSESSION CHAPTER 9 : A Promise Never Made
Arabella’s POVI read the email for the seventh time.You should ask Alexander Sterling why someone wanted the two of you together.The words remained exactly the same, no matter how many times I read them.I hated anonymous messages.I hated mysterious warnings.Most importantly, I hated the feeling that someone knew something about my life that I didn’t.Olivia sat opposite me, watching as I paced around the living room.“Okay, you’re making me nervous.”I stopped.“Someone deliberately arranged for Alexander and me to meet.”“That’s what the email says.”“And someone took photographs of us at the wedding.”“Yes.”“And now someone is telling me to question him.”Olivia folded her arms.“Have you considered that this could be someone trying to create problems between you two?”I looked at her.“Why would anyone bother?”“Because he’s rich, powerful, and apparently very handsome. People do strange things when money and influence are involved.”I sighed and dropped onto the sofa.“I do
