BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession CHAPTER 65
Orion's POVI waited for what felt like forever for the doctors to come out.The emergency room waiting area was sterile and cold, all harsh fluorescent lights and uncomfortable plastic chairs bolted to the floor. The smell of antiseptic hung heavy in the air, mixing with the faint scent of coffee from a vending machine in the corner. A television mounted on the wall played the news on mute, the images flickering across the screen while I sat there, unable to focus on anything except the double doors Anya had disappeared through.The waiting was absolute torture.Minutes crawled by like hours. Each second felt impossibly long, stretching out endlessly while my mind raced with terrible possibilities. I kept seeing her the way I'd found her—crumpled on the floor, covered in blood and bruises, so still and broken. I kept hearing the fear in her voice when she'd called me, the desperate way she'd begged for help. I kept thinking about what might be happening behind those closed doors righ

Orion's POV"Yes, sir," he said, his voice tight with understanding and urgency.I climbed in beside her, keeping her cradled against me, one hand supporting her head to keep it from lolling too much. The car door slammed shut, and then we were moving, pulling away from the curb with a screech of tires.My driver sped off toward the hospital, weaving aggressively through traffic, running lights, doing exactly what I'd told him to do. The city blurred past the windows, but I barely noticed. All my attention was focused on Anya.She was still unconscious. Still so pale and still and broken-looking. The blood from her head wound had soaked into my shirt now, a dark stain spreading across the fabric. I could feel how cold her skin was, could see the way her breathing hitched sometimes like it hurt her to breathe.Broken ribs, probably. Maybe internal bleeding. Definitely a concussion from the way her head had been bleeding. God only knew what else Kennedy had done to her.I talked to her

Orion's POV"No," I breathed, the word coming out strangled and desperate.I ran toward her, my feet crunching on broken glass that I barely registered. I dropped to my knees beside her, my hands reaching for her but hesitating for just a second, afraid to touch her, afraid of what I would find.Her head was bleeding—a dark, sticky patch of blood matting her hair and trickling down her face in thin red rivulets. Her face was bruised, already swelling, with dark purple marks blooming across her cheekbone and around her eye. Her lip was split and bleeding. There was blood smeared under her nose, dried and crusted on her upper lip.But it wasn't just her face.Her arms were covered in bruises—finger-shaped marks where someone had grabbed her, held her down. Her clothes were torn and disheveled. I could see more bruises on her ribs where her shirt had ridden up, dark and angry-looking, the kind of bruises that came from being kicked or punched repeatedly.She looked broken. Battered. Like

Orion's POVMy driver pressed harder on the accelerator. The car surged forward, the engine roaring as we wove aggressively through traffic. Other cars honked at us, swerving out of the way as we blew past them. I didn't care. I didn't care about traffic laws or safety or anything except getting to Anya.I tried calling her back. The phone rang once, twice, three times before going to voicemail. Her voice—calm and professional, from when she'd recorded the message—asked me to leave a message after the beep.I hung up and tried again.Straight to voicemail this time. Either her phone had died, or it was broken, or—I couldn't let myself finish that thought.I tried a third time. Same result."Fuck!" I slammed my fist against the car door, the impact doing nothing to relieve the helpless rage and fear coursing through me.I should have known. I should have seen the signs. The way she'd been so afraid when she'd had that nightmare. The way she'd locked up when I'd asked her to talk about
BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession CHAPTER 61
Orion's POVAfter dropping Anya off at her apartment building, I settled back into the leather seat and told my driver to take me to one of my nightclubs downtown.I needed alcohol. I needed noise and music and crowds of people to drown out the thoughts racing through my head. I needed to wash away all thoughts of Anya, to scrub her out of my mind and forget what had happened between us on this trip.I needed to get her out of my head.Kissing her had been a mistake. I knew that. I knew it. She was married. I was engaged to Kaia. We both had lives and commitments and responsibilities that didn't include each other. That kiss should never have happened, and I should regret it. I should feel guilty, ashamed, angry at myself for crossing that line.But I couldn't regret it.God help me, I couldn't.Her lips had tasted like heaven. Soft and sweet and perfect, just like I remembered from five years ago. Just like when we were younger, when things were so much simpler, when it was just the
BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession CHAPTER 60
Aria's POVI lay there on the floor, curled up and trembling, barely conscious. Every breath I tried to take sent stabbing pains through my chest. Blood was dripping from my nose, from my mouth, pooling on the carpet beneath my face. My whole body felt like it was on fire, like every nerve ending was exposed and screaming.Through my swollen, half-closed eyes, I saw Kennedy standing over me, breathing hard, his fists still clenched. He looked down at me with disgust, like I was something dirty he'd found on the bottom of his shoe."I need a drink," he muttered, his voice cold and detached.And then he just walked out of the bedroom, leaving me there bleeding and broken on the floor.For a moment, I couldn't move. I couldn't think. I could only lie there, shaking and crying and trying to remember how to breathe around the pain in my ribs. But then some tiny, desperate part of my brain that was still functioning realized something.This was my only chance to get help.He was gone. He'd
