Anya’s POV

He was sitting on one of the chairs, relaxed, one arm resting on the armrest, his phone in his hand. He looked comfortable, like he belonged in every room he walked into. When he heard me enter, he looked up. His eyes didn’t rush. They traveled slowly—from my hair, down my dress, to my heels—and then back up to my face.

The look made my stomach twist.

It wasn’t obvious or crude. It was focused. Sharp. Like he was taking in every detail without saying a word. I felt exposed, like he c

  • BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession   CHAPTER 74

    Anya's POVI had been in the hospital for a week now, and slowly—so painfully slowly—my injuries were healing.The doctors kept telling me I was making good progress, that my body was responding well to treatment, that I was lucky to be alive. Lucky. That word felt strange every time I heard it. I didn't feel lucky. I felt broken and bruised and like every single part of me hurt in ways I hadn't even known were possible.But I was alive. And I was getting better. That had to count for something.The swelling in my face had gone down considerably over the past few days. I could finally open both eyes now, though the left one was still tender and the skin around it was a sickly yellow-green color as the bruise faded. My split lip had scabbed over and was healing, though it still pulled painfully whenever I talked or ate. The worst of the bruises on my face were turning from deep purple to lighter shades of blue and brown, slowly working their way through the rainbow of colors that meant

  • BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession   CHAPTER 73

    Orion's POVI couldn't leave. The thought of walking away from her right now, of not being here if she woke up scared or in pain or needing me—it was unbearable. So I stayed.Very carefully, I eased her back down onto the pillows, making sure her head was properly supported, making sure the IV line wasn't tangled, making sure she was comfortable. She made a small sound in her sleep—not quite a whimper, not quite a sigh—and my heart clenched painfully in my chest.I pulled the thin hospital blanket up over her shoulders, tucking it gently around her. Then I settled into the uncomfortable plastic chair beside her bed, positioning it as close to her as I could get it without being in the way of any of the medical equipment.And I watched her as she slept.Her face was still a mess of bruises and swelling, the colors already deepening into darker purples and blues that would probably get worse before they got better. Her lip was split and crusted with dried blood that the nurses hadn't qu

  • BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession   CHAPTER 72

    Orion's POVKennedy managed a weak nod, blood bubbling from his lips."Good," I said, releasing his hair and letting his head drop back down.I turned to Leon, who had been standing silently in the shadows the entire time, watching without judgment or comment."Keep him in the warehouse until morning," I ordered, my voice returning to its normal commanding tone. "Make sure he gets some water so he doesn't die from dehydration, but nothing else. No medical attention. Let him feel it. Then dump him somewhere public where someone will find him—an alley, a park, I don't care. Just make sure it's nowhere near the hospital or Anya's apartment."Leon nodded in understanding. "Consider it done, sir.""And Leon?" I added, meeting his eyes directly. "If he tries to contact Anya, if he tries to find her, if he so much as looks in her direction... you know what to do.""Understood," Leon said with a small, grim smile.I gave Kennedy one last look—broken and bleeding and pathetic—then turned and w

  • BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession   CHAPTER 71

    Orion's POVLeon handed me a pair of brass knuckles without a word, his face expressionless as he placed the cold metal in my palm.I looked down at them for a moment—heavy and solid, the metal gleaming dully in the warehouse's dim lighting. Then I slipped them onto my right hand, flexing my fingers to get used to the weight. The brass knuckles fit perfectly, like they'd been made for this exact purpose. Like they'd been waiting for this moment.I smiled coldly at Kennedy, and the expression must have been absolutely terrifying because he actually whimpered."Wait," he stammered, his eyes going even wider as he realized what was about to happen. "Wait, please, I signed the papers! You said—"Leon grabbed him roughly out of the chair before he could finish his pathetic pleading. Kennedy struggled weakly, but he was too drunk and too scared and too injured from my earlier punch to put up any real fight. Leon dragged him back to the support beam and retied him to the ceiling, his arms st

  • BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession    CHAPTER 70

    Orion’s POVKennedy looked down at the papers, then back up at me. For a moment, I thought maybe he’d actually be smart about this. Maybe he’d realize the position he was in and just cooperate.But no.He actually laughed. A harsh, bitter sound that made my jaw clench and my hands curl into fists at my sides.“I’m not signing shit,” he spat, blood spraying slightly from his split lip with the force of his words. “Anya belongs to me. She’s my wife. You think some papers are going to change that? She’s mine, and she always will be—”I saw red.Literally. My vision went hazy at the edges, tinted crimson with pure, blinding rage. My entire body went rigid, every muscle coiling tight like a spring compressed to its absolute limit.“Don’t,” I said, my voice dropping to something barely above a whisper but infinitely more dangerous than any shout could have been. “Don’t you *ever* say her name again.”I looked at Leon and gave him another nod.Leon disappeared back into the shadows and retur

  • BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession    CHAPTER 69

    Orion’s POVI stopped by my lawyer’s office first.Marcus was waiting for me, sitting at his desk with the divorce papers already printed and organized into neat stacks. He looked up when I walked in, his expression a mixture of concern and professional focus.“Orion, are you sure you want to—”“The papers,” I interrupted, holding out my hand. I wasn’t in the mood for questions or second-guessing or moral debates about what I was about to do.Marcus hesitated for just a moment, then slid the folder across his desk to me. “Everything’s in order. She’ll need to sign too, obviously, but once both signatures are on file and we submit to the court—”“I’ll handle it,” I said, taking the folder and turning to leave.“Orion,” Marcus called after me. I paused at the door, looking back at him. His expression was serious, almost worried. “Whatever you’re about to do… be careful.”I didn’t respond. I just walked out, the divorce papers tucked securely under my arm.I got to the warehouse where Ke

    Anya’s POV His dark eyes were wide for a second, taking in my messy hair, my wrinkled clothes, the tremble in my hands. He looked shocked—and then his gaze snapped toward the bathroom, and I felt my stomach twist.Phillipe froze as soon as he noticed Orion. His face went pale, and he opened his mo

  • BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession   CHAPTER 27

    Anya’s POVI swallowed hard, my throat dry. “W-what are you doing in the women’s bathroom?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady, though it trembled just a little.Phillipe didn’t answer right away. Instead, he slowly closed the door behind him, the click of the lock echoing in the small space.

    Anya’s POVThe next night, I stood in front of my mirror way longer than necessary. I kept fixing tiny things—brushing out imaginary lint, adjusting my dress strap, patting down my hair even though it was already smooth. My nerves wouldn’t sit still.I had chosen a long black dress. Simple, but ele

    Anya’s POVOrion didn’t come to my office again. Not even a knock on the door. Just his voice through the intercom—calm, distant, almost… polite.He told me I could leave for the day.For a moment, I actually thought I heard him wrong. Orion never did something like that. He wasn’t the type to hand
