Anya’s POV

As the meeting continued, I couldn’t stop my mind from racing. Every time Orion looked at me, I felt that same heat in my chest, that same pull I had tried so hard to ignore. Every number in that folder suddenly seemed like a test—not just of my skills, but of how much I could endure under him.

I clenched my fists in my lap. No tears. No shame. I would survive this. I would do every task he gave me, no matter how impossible, and I would not break. Not again.

  • BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession   CHAPTER 85

    Orion's POVI checked my email obsessively, refreshing the page every few minutes, waiting for Marcus's message. Fifteen minutes crawled by with agonizing slowness. I stood up, paced the office, sat back down, checked my email again.Finally, at the sixteen-minute mark, a new message appeared in my inbox.From: Marcus BrennanSubject: KD Comprehensive File - CONFIDENTIALAttachment: Kennedy_Davenport_Complete_File.pdf (47 pages)I opened the attachment immediately, my eyes scanning through the document that Marcus and his team had compiled with impressive speed and thoroughness.It was all there. Everything.Financial records showing Kennedy's embezzlement from his family's company—at least $2.3 million skimmed over the past four years through fake vendor contracts and inflated expense reports. Hospital records from Anya's admission, complete with photographs of her injuries that made my stomach turn even though I'd seen them in person. Doctor's notes documenting the severity of her i

  • BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession   CHAPTER 84

    Orion's POVAfter I left Anya's room, carefully closing the door behind me so she could rest, I stood in the hallway for a moment, my hands clenched into fists at my sides, my jaw tight with barely contained rage.Seeing her like that—broken down completely, sobbing so hard she could barely breathe, devastated by the lies that were being spread about her—had ignited something dark and furious inside me. The same cold rage I'd felt at the warehouse when I'd been beating Kennedy's face in, but sharper now, more focused, more calculated.Kennedy had tried to destroy her physically. Now he was trying to destroy her reputation, her character, everything about her that existed in the public eye. He was painting himself as the victim while she bore the actual scars—both visible and invisible—of his violence.That ended now.I pulled out my phone and scrolled through my contacts until I found the number I needed. Marcus Brennan. My lead attorney, the man who handled all my most sensitive lega

    Anya's POVHe wiped tears from my cheeks with his thumbs, his touch gentle despite the anger in his expression."I promise you," he continued, his voice dropping lower, becoming almost dangerous. "I will take care of this. I will handle it.""How?" I asked desperately, my voice breaking. "How can you fix this? The story is already out there. People have already seen it. They've already made up their minds about who I am.""Let me worry about that," Orion said firmly. "I have resources, Anya. I have lawyers and PR people and connections that can make this go away or at least change the narrative. Kennedy playing the victim? That won't last long once I'm done. Trust me."There was something cold and final in his tone that sent a shiver through me—not of fear, but of something else. Relief, maybe. Or hope that maybe he really could do something about this nightmare."But for now," he said, his expression softening slightly as he looked at my tear-stained face, "I need you to not worry ab

  • BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession   CHAPTER 82

    Anya's POVI cried harder, my whole body shaking, my throat raw from the sobs that kept tearing out of me. I couldn't remember the last time I'd cried this hard, this completely. Maybe never. Maybe I'd never let myself fall apart like this before, had always held something back, maintained some shred of control.But right now, I had no control left. No strength left. Nothing left but the overwhelming grief and fear and despair that was pouring out of me in hot, unstoppable tears.My head was pounding now, a vicious headache building behind my eyes from the crying and the stress and probably the head injury that was still healing. My ribs felt like they were on fire every time I gasped for breath. My throat hurt from the sobs. Everything hurt, physically and emotionally, and I couldn't make it stop.I didn't know how long I lay there crying—it could have been five minutes or fifty, time had lost all meaning—when I heard a soft knock on the bedroom door.I froze, my breath catching in m

  • BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession   CHAPTER 81

    Anya's POVHot tears started streaming down my face before I could stop them. I'd been trying so hard to hold it together, to be strong, to focus on healing and moving forward. But this—this public humiliation, this complete distortion of the truth—it was too much.I curled up on my side, careful of my ribs, and let myself cry. Deep, gasping sobs that hurt my chest and made my head pound but that I couldn't hold back anymore.Each sob sent a fresh wave of pain through my broken ribs, sharp stabbing sensations that made me want to stop crying, to hold my breath, to do anything to make the physical pain stop. But I couldn't. The emotional pain was so much worse than the physical pain, so overwhelming and all-consuming that the hurt in my ribs barely registered as more than background noise.The tears came in hot, relentless waves, soaking into the expensive pillowcase beneath my cheek. My whole body shook with the force of my crying, trembling so hard that I had to wrap my arms around m
