Bound by Obsession Love in The Kitchen
I was in my studio, working on a painting for the first time in weeks, when Sophie called."So I heard you and Damien had a fight this morning," she said without preamble."How did you—""Lucas told me. Damien apparently showed up at the office laughing about it. Said it was the best fight you'd ever had."I smiled to myself. "It was about dishes.""I know! Normal couple stuff! I'm so proud!" Sophie sounded genuinely delighted. "This is huge, Isla. You're having regular fights about regular things. That's relationship health right there.""It felt stupid.""All the best fights are stupid. The dishes fight. The thermostat fight. The 'you never put the cap back on the toothpaste' fight. These are the building blocks of a real marriage.""When did you become a relationship expert?""Since I've been planning weddings for five years and have seen every kind of couple. Trust me, the ones who only fight about big existential things? They don't last. The ones who fight about dishes and make-u
Bound by Obsession Something Real
He carried me upstairs to the loft bedroom, laying me down on the bed like I was something precious. The skylight showed stars emerging in the darkening sky."You're so beautiful," he murmured, slowly undressing me. "Even when you're hurting. Especially when you're hurting. You're the strongest person I know.""I don't feel strong.""You are. You're surviving impossible grief. Facing painful truths. Still choosing love despite everything." He kissed my shoulder, my collarbone, my throat. "That's strength, Isla. That's courage."His hands were gentle, reverent, taking their time. This wasn't about passion or heat. This was about tenderness. Comfort. Healing.When he finally moved inside me, slowly and careful, we both sighed with relief."I love you," he whispered, his rhythm gentle and unhurried. "I love you so much. You're everything to me.""Show me," I breathed. "Show me I'm not alone. Show me we're real."He did. With every thrust, every touch, every whispered word of love, he sho
Bound by Obsession The Journal
I opened to the beginning. The first entry was dated three years ago, right when the business started failing.The investors are pulling out. One by one, they're losing faith. I can't blame them—the numbers don't lie. We're hemorrhaging money.But I can't give up. This company is my legacy. My father built it. I grew it. I can't let it die on my watch.Isla doesn't know how bad it is. I've shielded her from the worst. She's engaged to Marcus, planning her wedding, building her life. I won't burden her with my failures.I read entry after entry. Watched my father's slow descent into financial panic. His attempts to hide it from me. His guilt about the burden.Then, an entry from six months ago:Richard Cross approached me today. Said he could make my problems disappear. Said his son needed a wife for an inheritance, and I had a daughter who needed money.He offered me a deal: convince Isla to meet Damien. Orchestrate a situation where they'd see the mutual benefit.I told him to go to
Bound by Obsession Escape
TWO DAYS LATERI woke up screaming.The nightmare was vivid—my father's funeral, but this time the coffin was empty. I was searching everywhere, panicking, unable to find him. And everyone kept asking where he was, why I'd lost him, why I couldn't keep him safe."Isla. Isla, wake up. You're dreaming." Damien's voice cut through the panic. "Come back to me."I jolted awake, gasping, my face wet with tears. "I lost him. In the dream, I lost him and I couldn't—""Shh. It was just a dream. Just a nightmare." He pulled me against his chest, his heart beating steady under my ear. "You didn't lose him. He's—""Dead. He's dead and I can't get him back and—" The sobs came hard and fast, my whole body shaking.Damien held me through it, rocking slightly, murmuring reassurances that felt hollow but necessary.This was the third nightmare in two nights. Third time I'd woken up screaming, crying, unable to breathe."That's it," Damien said when I finally calmed down. "We're leaving.""What?""Toda
Bound by Obsession My Father Knew
MY FATHER'S STUDYI'd been avoiding this room. His sanctuary. The place he'd spent hours working on business, reading, thinking.The place where he'd had the heart attack that started everything."I can do this room," Lucas offered. "You don't have to...""No. I need to." I pushed the door open.It looked exactly like he'd left it. Papers on the desk. Reading glasses next to his computer. A half-finished cup of coffee, now moldy.I picked up the coffee cup while shaking hands."He made this the morning of my engagement party," I said. "The day everything fell apart. He was sitting right here when I called to tell him about Marcus. He said—" My voice broke. "He said, 'Come home, sweetheart. We'll figure this out together.'"Damien took the cup from me gently. "We don't have to do this room today.""Yes, we do. I can't keep avoiding it." I sat in my father's chair, and it still smelled like him. "He spent so much time in here. Fighting to save the business. Trying to protect me from how
Bound by Obsession Ghosts And Memories
I stood outside my childhood home in Brooklyn, unable to make myself go inside.The small two-story house looked exactly the same—peeling blue paint, the crooked mailbox my dad had always meant to fix, the rose bushes my mother had planted twenty years ago. But everything was different because he wasn't inside.He'd never be inside again."We don't have to do this today," Damien said softly beside me. "We can come back when you're ready.""I'll never be ready." I forced my feet to move toward the door. "But my mother wants the house cleared and sold. Says she can't bear to live here with the memories.""Where's she staying?""With my aunt in Connecticut. She left three days ago. Couldn't even wait until—" My voice cracked. "She left me a list of what she wants. Everything else is mine to deal with."Damien's jaw tightened. "She should be here helping you.""She's grieving in her own way." The excuse sounded hollow even to me. "Let's just get this over with."I unlocked the door, and t

My father stared at me for a long time, then he nodded. "He seems like a good man. Cold, but good. And the way he gazed at you when you weren’t watching...""How did he look at me?"“Like you were something he hadn’t solved yet.” My father smiled slightly. “And as if he wanted to discover it as muc

I was dressed in one of the designer dresses Simone had left. The color is navy blue, simple but elegant, with heels that my feet already throbbed in. I had my hair down. I was wearing makeup, but not much. I looked like Isla Cross.I felt like an imposter.Damien stood in the elevator scrolling th
Bound by Obsession The First Morning
I didn't sleep.How could I, when my whole life had been torn apart and reassembled in forty-eight hours? I sprawled across that immense bed, in that disinfected-beautiful room, and stared up at the ceiling until most of the black were gray were pinks as ribbons to gold over Manhattan.Mrs. Cross.
Bound by Obsession It Was All Fake
The plane hit turbulence. Or maybe that was because every inch of me had responded to what his words had implied."I'd rather die," I said."Noted." But his eyes told me he didn’t believe it. "Moving on. Pages twenty-one through thirty cover business matters. You are not entitled to my business and
