CRUEL OBSESSION 100
CHAPTER 100 — THE NAME THAT BROKE THE SILENCE The word hung in the air. St. Claire. It echoed inside Sienna’s mind like a bell that refused to stop ringing. She stared at Damien. “My family?” she repeated quietly. The phrase felt foreign in her mouth. ⸻ Damien didn’t look away. “Yes.” ⸻ Sienna laughed softly. But there was no humor in it. “That doesn’t make any sense.” Her hands tightened slightly at her sides. “If I had a family like that, I would remember.” ⸻ Damien’s expression remained steady. “Not necessarily.” ⸻ She shook her head. “No. You’re telling me that I belonged to some powerful family and somehow I just… forgot?” ⸻ “You didn’t just forget.” His voice was calm but firm. “You lost those memories during the accident.” ⸻ The word made her pause. “Accident?” ⸻ Damien seemed to realize something. A small shift in his expression. “You don’t remember that part either.” ⸻ Her stomach dropped. “No.” ⸻ For a moment, neither of them spoke. The

CHAPTER 99 — THE THINGS HE DIDN’T TELL HER The security room suddenly felt too small. Too quiet. Sienna stood beside the desk, the frozen footage glowing behind her on the monitor. The image of herself on the garden path. The man holding the necklace. And the moment her lips had clearly formed the words— I remember. ⸻ Damien stepped fully into the room and closed the door behind him. The click of the lock sounded louder than it should have. His eyes moved from the screen… to her. Carefully. Like he was measuring something. ⸻ “You weren’t supposed to see that yet,” he repeated. His voice was calm. But the tension in his shoulders told a different story. ⸻ Sienna stared at him. “You knew about it.” It wasn’t a question. ⸻ Damien didn’t deny it. He walked toward the desk and looked at the paused frame. The moment where the man held up the necklace. For a brief second, something dark flashed across Damien’s expression. Anger. Not at her. At the man. ⸻ “I saw

CHAPTER 98 — 1:13 A.M. Sienna moved quickly through the hallways. Her footsteps were quiet against the polished floors, but her heartbeat felt loud enough to echo through the entire house. Ten minutes. That was what the message had said. She had no idea why the man would warn her about the footage before Damien saw it. Maybe it was manipulation. Maybe it was a trap. Or maybe… it was the truth. Either way, she needed to see it. ⸻ The security room was located in a quieter wing of the house, past Damien’s office and behind a set of heavy double doors. Two guards stood outside. They straightened when they saw her approaching. “Miss Sienna,” one of them greeted politely. ⸻ She forced a calm expression. “I need to check something.” The guard hesitated slightly. “Mr. Westwood is reviewing footage right now.” ⸻ Of course he was. Sienna expected that. “Is he inside?” ⸻ The guard shook his head. “He stepped out a few minutes ago. He’s speaking with the head of security.

CHAPTER 97 — THE MESSAGE By late afternoon, the house had settled into a tense kind of routine. Not normal—nothing about the day felt normal—but structured enough that people had stopped whispering quite as much. Guards continued their patrols, staff kept moving through the halls, and Damien remained almost entirely out of sight in the security wing. Sienna hadn’t seen him again since breakfast. She wasn’t sure if that bothered her or not. Part of her understood. Damien worked like a machine when something threatened his house. He wouldn’t stop until he found an answer. But another part of her felt the absence. ⸻ She spent most of the afternoon in the library. It was one of the quieter rooms in the estate, with tall windows that looked out over the gardens and shelves filled with books that had probably been there longer than she had been alive. Sienna sat on the sofa with a book open in her lap. She had read the same page three times. None of it stuck. Her mind kept drif

CHAPTER 96 — QUESTIONS THAT DON’T GO AWAY Morning didn’t make anything better. If anything, daylight only made the tension in the house easier to see. Servants moved more quietly than usual. Guards spoke in low voices in the hallways. Even the air felt heavier, like everyone knew something had gone wrong but no one wanted to be the one to say it out loud. Sienna noticed it the moment she stepped out of the room. Two guards stood outside the door. They straightened when they saw her. “Miss,” one of them said politely. The other nodded but didn’t speak. ⸻ Sienna paused for a moment in the hallway. “Did Damien send you?” “Yes,” the first guard answered. That didn’t surprise her. Damien’s version of reassurance always looked a lot like security. ⸻ She nodded and started walking down the corridor. The house was already awake. Voices drifted from the dining room. Someone in the distance was speaking on a phone. Footsteps echoed across the marble floors downstairs. Normal

CHAPTER 95 — CRACKS IN THE HOUSE The house didn’t sleep that night. Not really. Even though the lights in most of the rooms eventually dimmed and the halls grew quieter, there was still movement everywhere. Guards rotated shifts more frequently than usual. Doors opened and closed at odd hours. Voices carried faintly through corridors that were normally silent after midnight. Sienna noticed all of it. When a place had tension running through its walls, you could feel it even if no one said a word. ⸻ Damien didn’t come back for a long time. At first she tried to stay awake. She sat on the bed, listening to the footsteps outside the door, occasionally glancing at the clock beside the lamp. Midnight passed. Then one. Then two. Eventually the exhaustion caught up with her. She lay down without changing clothes, telling herself she’d just rest her eyes. ⸻ When she woke again, the room was darker. The lamp had been switched off. And Damien was sitting in the chair near the
