Anya's POV

The moment his lips touched mine, everything else just... disappeared. It felt so good—better than good, actually. It felt right in a way that terrified me and comforted me all at the same time. His lips pressed against mine, warm and soft and achingly familiar, like coming home after being lost for years. The gentle pressure sent a shiver racing down my spine, and my chest ached with something I couldn't even name—longing, maybe, or relief, or just the overwhelming feeling of finall

Thank you for the updates. I I hope one of them brings up the past here soon and talk about it. I feel both were set up wrong so they won’t meet up.

  • 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

  • BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession   CHAPTER 79

    Anya's POVThere was a photo of me on the screen—an old one from some charity event I'd attended with Kennedy a couple of years ago. I looked happy in the photo, smiling at the camera in an elegant dress, Kennedy's arm around my waist. It was all a lie, of course. I'd been miserable that night, as I'd been miserable at most events with Kennedy. But I'd learned to smile for the cameras, to play the role of the happy, devoted wife.Next to my photo was one of Orion—a professional headshot that must have been from some business magazine article. He looked powerful and handsome and completely untouchable.The news anchor, a blonde woman with too-bright lipstick and an eager expression, was talking in that breathless, gossipy tone that these entertainment shows always used."...the disgraced heiress Anya Russell-Davenport, daughter of real estate mogul Richard Russell, has reportedly left her husband Kennedy Davenport after a shocking affair with billionaire businessman Orion Konstantinos,

  • BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession   CHAPTER 78

    Anya's POVHe gestured toward the door. "Just opposite, across the hall. Close enough that you can call me if you need anything, but far enough to give you privacy. There's an intercom system too—there's a panel by the bed if you need to reach me and don't want to get up."Of course there was an intercom system. Of course this penthouse had every possible amenity and convenience."Thank you," I said again, feeling like the words were inadequate but not knowing what else to say. "Thank you for all of this, Orion. For the room, for bringing me here, for everything. I don't know how I'll ever—""Stop," he said gently but firmly, holding up a hand. "You don't need to keep thanking me, Anya. I want to help you. I *need* to help you. After everything that's happened, after..." He trailed off, his jaw tightening. "Just let me do this. Please."I nodded, my throat tight with emotion.Then a thought occurred to me—something I'd been wondering about but had been too afraid to ask until now. I b

  • BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession   CHAPTER 77

    Anya's POVI tried to take a step toward the building entrance, determined to walk on my own, to not be completely helpless. But my knees wobbled dangerously, and I had to grab onto Orion's arm to keep from falling."I'm sorry," I whispered, frustrated with my own body's weakness. "I thought I could—"Before I could finish the sentence, Orion had swept me up into his arms, lifting me effortlessly like I weighed nothing at all. One arm supported my back while the other came under my knees, holding me securely against his chest."Orion, you don't have to—" I started to protest, but he cut me off with a look."You're exhausted and you're healing," he said firmly but gently. "Let me help you."I wanted to argue, wanted to insist that I could walk, that I didn't need to be carried like some helpless damsel. But honestly, being in his arms felt safe and warm, and I was so tired that the thought of trying to walk all the way to his penthouse—however far that was—made me want to cry.So I jus

  • BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession   CHAPTER 76

    Anya's POVWe made our way through the hospital corridors—past the nurses' station where several nurses called out warm goodbyes and well-wishes, past other patients' rooms, through the main lobby with its institutional furniture and outdated magazines. People stared at me as we passed. I knew I still looked pretty bad—the bruises on my face were fading but still visible, and I moved stiffly and carefully like every motion hurt.Let them stare. I was alive. That was more than Kennedy had intended.Finally, we made it outside into the bright afternoon sunshine. I squinted against the light, my eyes having gotten used to the dim hospital room over the past week. The fresh air felt amazing after days of breathing recycled, antiseptic-scented hospital air. I took a deep breath—as deep as my ribs would allow—and felt something in my chest ease slightly.Orion's car was waiting at the curb, his driver standing beside it. The same driver who'd rushed me to the hospital that terrible night, t

  • BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession   CHAPTER 32

    Anya’s POVThe grief that hit me that day still had sharp edges. I remembered clutching the hospital blanket to my chest, feeling empty, like a part of me had been ripped away forever. I hadn’t just lost a baby—I had lost a piece of my soul, a piece of hope that I had clung to for so long. My hands

  • BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession   CHAPTER 31

    Anya’s POVI picked up my fork and took a cautious bite. The honey melted on my tongue, sweet and rich, and the bacon was perfectly crisp. I had barely tasted food like this in days. The simple act of eating, under his watchful gaze, felt both comforting and tense. I chewed slowly, trying not to ma

  • BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession   CHAPTER 30

    Anya’s POVMonday morning came too quickly. My alarm rang, sharp and annoying, and when I opened my eyes, they felt heavy and sore. I could still taste the tears that dried on my lips. My pillow was damp, and for a moment I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, wishing I could stay in bed and hid

  • BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession   CHAPTER 29

    Anya’s POVHis right fist rested on his thigh, knuckles torn, dried blood covering the skin like an ugly red glove. His fingers were curled tight, shaking just a little from the force he was holding inside. I wondered if his hand hurt, but he didn’t show even a hint of discomfort. He just looked li
