Claimed by his obsession CHAPTER 71
Damien's POVPortugal arrived faster than six weeks felt like it should.Between the foundation, the aerospace consulting, Elijah's ongoing legal cleanup of the Vale estate assets, and the general business of running BCT, the weeks folded into each other quickly, and then suddenly it was a Tuesday morning and we were all standing in the entrance hall with luggage, waiting for cars, and Remy was arguing with Elijah about whether four bags counted as overpacking."It's a two week trip," Elijah said."I have contingencies," Remy said."For what," Elijah said. "A formal event in a fishing village.""You never know," Remy said, which settled nothing but ended the argument because Remy always won by simply refusing to continue it.Sophia came down the stairs with one bag and the ring catching the morning light and I thought, not for the first time, that she had always understood the art of taking only what mattered.Richard was already outside by the car, standing slightly apart the way he

Sophia's POVTwo weeks passed the way weeks were supposed to pass. Ordinary. Full but not urgent.I split my time between the estate and the small lab space Knight the funding body had arranged, which turned out to be twenty minutes from Enough, close enough that Damien and I had already started planning weekends there without discussing it as a plan, just an assumption we both shared.The foundation launched quietly. No press conference, no gala. Just a website and an application process and Elijah drafting the legal structure with the same care he gave everything.The first grant went to a woman named Priya, twenty six years old, who had walked out of a marriage two months ago with nothing and had a design portfolio she hadn't touched in three years because her husband told her it was a waste of time. Elijah found her application in the first batch and flagged it specifically because something in the way she wrote reminded him, he said carefully, of someone else.I read her applicat
Claimed by his obsession CHAPTER 69
Sophia's POVWe stayed at the coast for four days.Not planned. Just extended, morning by morning, because neither of us found a good enough reason to leave and the estate, for once, didn't need us urgently enough to call us back.Damien checked his phone twice a day instead of every twenty minutes. That alone felt like proof something had shifted.On the third morning we walked further than usual, past the town, along a stretch of coast where the houses thinned out and the path became rougher and the water louder. He held my hand the whole way and didn't let go even when the path narrowed enough that walking side by side became difficult.We found a bench overlooking the water and sat there for a long time saying very little."I keep thinking about the foundation," I said eventually."Tell me," he said."I want the first grant to go somewhere specific," I said. "Not a broad opening call. I want it to go to someone who needs exactly what I needed. Somewhere to land.""Do you have some
Claimed by his obsession CHAPTER 68
Damien's POVI woke up before her, the way I usually did, but this time there was nowhere to be.No emails waiting. No board update. No unknown number with a warning attached to it. Just the sound of the water outside and Sophia asleep against my chest with her hair spread across the pillow in a way that made me want to stay exactly where I was for as long as possible.I stayed.She woke slowly, the way she did when nothing was demanding her attention, blinking at the light coming through the window before she registered where she was."We're still here," she said."We're still here," I said."No emergencies," she said."None," I said.She looked at me for a long moment, then smiled the real one, the one that started somewhere deeper than her face."I could get used to this," she said."I intend for you to," I said.We stayed in bed longer than either of us would have allowed ourselves a month ago. She traced the scar above my eyebrow with her finger and I told her the story again eve
Claimed by his obsession CHAPTER 67
Sophia's POVThe hearing lasted less than an hour.Elijah placed the second marriage certificate on the screen. The false witness's story fell apart in the time it took the judge to read one sentence. By eleven o'clock it was over. My parents' marriage was confirmed. I was their daughter. Nothing about that had ever needed proving to me, but it was good to watch the world catch up.Outside the courthouse the sky was clear for the first time in weeks.Damien stood beside me on the steps. He didn't say anything about the case. He just looked at me the way he did when something in him had finally stopped holding its breath."It's over," he said."This part," I said.He looked at me for a long moment."Come with me," he said. "Not home. Somewhere else."I looked at him."Where," I said."You'll see," he said.He drove us out of the city, past the estate, further than either of us usually went without a reason. Forty minutes later he pulled into a small coastal town I had never been to, al
Claimed by his obsession CHAPTER 66
Damien's POVI called Elijah before we came off the roof.He picked up on the first ring."I know," he said. "The detective called me thirty seconds ago.""What does it actually mean," I said. "Legally. The bigamy claim.""It means they've found something or fabricated something in the marriage records," he said. "Or they believe they have. The claim itself is not unusual as a delaying tactic. Challenge the heir's standing and you freeze the asset distribution while the court investigates the underlying claim.""How long does that take," I said."Months if they're lucky," he said. "Weeks if we move correctly." I heard him typing. "I need to see what they've actually submitted. The documentation behind the claim. Without that I can't assess how serious it is.""Get it," I said."Already requested," he said. "I'll have it by morning."I hung up and looked at Sophia.She was looking at the city with her hands in her pockets and her face doing the thing it did when something had landed an

Sophia's POVHoly fuckity fuck. There was no way you could call the Black estate a house. It was a whole fortress made of glass and steel, the whole building reeled of intimidation.Dominic’s driver took my cracked suitcase like it was a lump of dirt and disappeared into the shadows of the foyer. D

Sophia's POVThe rain wasn't stopping. If anything, it got louder, mocking me with every heavy drop that hit the plastic roof of the bus stop.I stared at my phone's screen blankly. As though staring at it continuously was going to make a single dollar pop up.How was I supposed to even get a bus?

Sophia's POV"Get out."Two words. That was all it took for my entire life to faceplant into the dirt.I stood there, staring at the man I’d called my husband for three years, and for a second, I actually thought I’d misheard him.Because I was the one who just walked in on him. I was the one stand
Claimed by his obsession CHAPTER NINE
Dominic's POVI had been awake since four in the morning.Not unusual for me. I functioned best in the hours before the city woke up, when everything was quiet and I could think without interruption. I had rebuilt the entire PR strategy by five, restructured the sister narrative by six, and had thr
