Fated To Be His Obsession Chapter 47 - Nothing I Can Do
Ryan’s fingers tightened around the envelope as he stood frozen in Damien’s office. The air between them was thick—years of history, betrayal, and unspoken things hanging like a weight.“Damien,” Ryan’s voice cracked slightly. “Please… I need your help. You can’t let him come for me.”Damien’s eyes were hard and unreadable. “I understand perfectly,” he said. “And there’s nothing I can do.”“But you’re not like this,” Ryan pressed. “I know you. I know you’re not… heartless. And I know you don’t want to do this. Please. Just—just talk to him. Make it stop.”Something flickered in Damien’s gaze. Something that resembled mercy, grace, and pity.But it was gone just as quickly.Damien leaned back in his chair, nodding toward the invitation. “You forget I’m not done with you yet.”“I know, but not him please.“ Ryan said, his voice cracking. “I’ll take whatever you throw at me, but not him.”Damien nodded his head slowly. “He’s right, I have been gentle with you.” His eyes darkened.“That’s

The glass doors of CrossCorp slid shut behind Sienna with a hiss that felt more personal than mechanical.Her heels clicked sharply against the marble floor of the lobby moments earlier, but now the silence outside swallowed the sound entirely. The cold air hit her skin as she stepped onto the sidewalk, but she barely noticed it. Her thoughts were spiralling, replaying the confrontation in Damien Cross’s office—his face unreadable, his words curt, but his implication clear.He was involved. With Ryan. Somehow. And she was going to find out how.She pulled out her phone, the screen lighting up with the time—4:12 PM. Without hesitating, she hit Ryan’s name.He picked up on the third ring, his voice casual, almost too casual. “Hey.”“Where are you?” she asked, slipping into the back seat of her car. Her tone wasn’t accusatory. Yet.“Home,” he replied quickly. “Just got out of the shower. Why?”Sienna’s brows drew together. “I’m coming over.”There was a pause. Just a second. Barely. But

Sienna sat at the edge of Ryan’s unmade bed, the morning sun creeping in through the slats of his blinds. The apartment was quiet—too quiet. Ryan had left early, claiming he needed to run errands. No kisses, no coffee, not even a “see you later.” Just a rushed departure and a trail of silence that felt like a ghost brushing past her shoulder. She should’ve gone home last night. She should’ve walked away the moment he lied about the job interview. But something in her refused to leave—not when she knew he was hiding something. Her eyes scanned the room again. Jeans tossed over a chair. The faint scent of his cologne in the air. His black coat still hanging by the door. He hadn’t worn it this morning, she realized. It was the same one he wore yesterday—when he left for that mysterious “interview.” Sienna stood, walked over, and slipped her hand into the pocket. There was a key, a wallet, and an unsealed envelope. Her stomach tightened. She pulled it out slowly, turning it ov

Damien didn’t move. He stood in the doorway, one hand still on the knob, the other clenched by his side. His eyes flicked over Sebastian, taking in the perfectly pressed coat, the faint scent of spice and mint that always seemed to follow him, and the maddening calm with which he carried himself.Sebastian, in turn, looked past him and into the house with a casual sort of interest—like he was inspecting something he already owned.“I suppose this is the part where you invite me in?” he asked, arching a brow.“Suppose it isn’t.” Damien says in return.Sebastian chuckled under his breath. “Still stubborn. I see some things haven’t changed.”Then, without waiting for permission, he stepped forward. Damien didn’t move aside, but he didn’t stop him either. Sebastian slipped past him like smoke.Inside, he glanced around with a discerning eye, nodding slowly.“Nice place,” he said. “Minimalist, expensive. Very you.” He paused, then added, “And I must say—your house staff is quite impressive

Ryan stared at the text message on his phone like he had just seen a ghost.He had not received a text from Damien in years and now that he did? Damien was asking to see him.Ryan didn’t know what to make out of it.Was Damien finally ready to give him a listening ear? Or was this another way to lure him into the unknown?He quickly dialled the number that texted and the receiver answered on the first ring.“You have a lot of nerve calling me, don’t you?” Damien’s voice came in strong on the other end.“I…” Ryan stammered. “I just wanted to make sure it was really you.”“Hmmm” Damien murmured. “9:30 sharp. Don’t keep me waiting Hastings.”Before Ryan could say a word, Damien hung up the phone and took in a deep breath.Damien stood at the window, staring out at the quiet street beyond the gate. His breathing was heavy, arms folded across his chest.His phone came down from his ear and his arms hung by his side.Chloe watched him from the sofa, still wearing his shirt and nothing else

Damien stood at the far end of the rooftop of CrossCorp wind cutting through his jacket as he lit a cigarette. He rarely smoked—but when he did, it meant something was gnawing at him. The city stretched out below in a blur of noise and colour, oblivious to the storm brewing within him.He didn’t flinch when he heard footsteps approaching from behind.“I thought you quit,” a familiar voice said.Damien turned his head slightly. Ethan stood there, hands in his coat pockets, looking every bit the calm centre Damien could never quite be.“I did,” Damien muttered, exhaling smoke. “Guess I’m backsliding.”“You should stop, smoking never looked good on you,” Ethan said.Damien shook his head slightly. “Took you long enough. I thought you’d finally left me to my family chaos.” “Well, ‘chaos’ is an understatement when it comes to your family. But luckily you’re a part of mine so I’ll keep you in check.”“Welcome back”. Damien said. A smile tugged at his lips.“It’s good to be back. Besides I

Ryan didn’t move. He couldn’t.Sebastian’s voice hung like a blade suspended inches from his throat.He couldn’t look away. He didn’t dare look at Damien either—who sat silently, watching like this had all been rehearsed. Because maybe it had.Sebastian stepped further into the room, every movement slow and scary. He didn’t rush. He didn’t need to.Ryan rose to his feet instinctively, but his legs felt unsteady. “You didn’t expect me, did you?” Sebastian asked, tilting his head like he was inspecting a bug beneath glass. “That’s Damien’s problem. He gives people hope they don’t deserve.”“Sebastian…” Ryan croaked, but even he didn’t know what he was trying to say. An apology? An explanation?Sebastian waved his hand. “Don’t embarrass yourself, Ryan. You’ve already done enough of that for a lifetime.”Ryan let out a sigh, his pulse ringing in his ears.“What’s the most important thing you were taught, Ryan?” Sebastian asked.Ryan’s voice came in low, almost a whisper.“That family is

Chloe sat curled on the couch, wrapped in one of Damien’s oversized hoodies—the dark navy one that still smelled faintly like him. Her phone was clenched in her hand, the screen dim and lifeless. She hadn’t looked away from it in over an hour.She had called. Again. And again. And again.There were five missed calls. All from her.The last one was just twenty minutes ago.She hadn’t left another voicemail. What was the point? The first two had said enough. The second even ended with a weak laugh, one meant to cover the crack in her voice. She hated that she’d sounded needy. She hated even more that she was needy right now.Sighing, she unlocked the screen and stared at the call log. His name sat at the top like a ghost: Damien Cross.No returned call.No message.Not even a read receipt on the text she sent earlier. She opened it again:“Are we still on for tonight? Let me know when you’re close.”It was delivered. That was it.A lump formed in her throat. She tilted her head back aga

Fated To Be His Obsession Chapter 74 - Finally Found You
The sky was deep navy, fading into black, the stars barely visible above the wisps of coastal fog rolling in from the sea.Nina’s feet sank into the cold, damp sand as she trudged along the shoreline, her lips were chapped and salty from the salt the wind blew from the ocean, the hem of her dress soaked through and heavy.The beach was nearly deserted—just the sound of waves crashing and the distant hiss of wind sweeping over the dunes.“Chloe!” she called out, her voice echoing into the dark. “Chloe, where are you?!”But there was no answer—only the waves.Nina had been searching for hours—since early morning, when Chloe stormed out, leaving her standing in silence. She had checked the nearby cafes, walked up and down the coast, and asked two lifeguards and a gas station clerk, but there was nothing.Her voice was starting to give out.“Please, Chloe,” she whispered, holding her arms close to her chest. “Just let me know you’re okay.”The wind picked up, blowing her hair into her fac
Fated To Be His Obsession Chapter 73 - The Cost Of Secrets
Chloe sat down on the couch, grasping the phone with more force than she knew she had. She stared at the messages and then stared into thin air.She couldn’t believe it, her best friend had been keeping something like this from her.Chloe’s thoughts were interrupted by the creaks on the staircase. “Chloe,” Nina called out, wearing a sock on her left foot, “You’re up already.” She said as she came down.Chloe took in a deep breath, as she stood up slowly facing Nina.Nina noticed the sour look as she looked up at her.“Is everything okay?” She asked her friend.“How long have you been lying to me?” Chloe said softly.“Chloe, what are you saying?” Nina asked chucking nervously.“I trusted you Nina and this is what you do?” Chloe snapped.“What on earth are you talking about?” Nina snapped back.Chloe didn’t say a word, she just lifted the phone to Nina, scrolling through the missed calls and texts from Damien.“Now it all makes sense. Your late-night walks. Your constant visits to the
Fated To Be His Obsession Chapter 72 - Truths And Triggers
Nina walked slowly towards the couch, her arms still wrapped around herself. As she sat down, she sunk in, looking up at Damien.“I don’t have control over motel furniture.” He said, hands tucked in his pocket.Nina shook her head. “So…the truth. Why did you hide it all from her?”Damien stepped closer bowing his head.“Things were complicated. I had just been betrayed by my nephew and I’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to strike.” He paused for a bit.“It didn’t take long before I found Ryan, he had changed his name and taken on a new life. But he was never smart enough to cover up his tracks. It took three years to put CrossCorp into place. It was well known in New York, so it wasn’t hard to get it up and running when I came to Atlanta.”“Are you saying you started a whole new life in Atlanta for Ryan’s sake?” Nina asked surprised.“Something like that,” Damien said. “When CrossCorp became desolate due to Ryan’s actions, my younger brother Marcel — his father, took the fall fo
Fated To Be His Obsession Chapter 71 - Roses And Secrets
The morning air was crisp, and faint with the scent of the ocean and something blooming.Chloe stepped out onto the porch in her slippers, her sun hat covering the brim of her face, one hand cradling a warm mug of coffee, the other holding a small watering can. It was still early enough that the sunlight filtered through the trees in golden stripes, the kind of quiet that made her feel like the rest of the world was still asleep.She took a slow breath and moved toward the potted plants at the edge of the porch. But then she stopped.There, right at the foot of the door, sat a basket.Woven with a soft grey ribbon wrapped neatly around the handle, it brimmed with fresh flowers—roses, lavender, hydrangeas—still dewy as if they had been arranged only minutes ago. Chloe knelt to get a closer look. There was no card and no name.She looked around, eyes scanning the stretch of the empty front lawn and the road beyond. There was no one. Just the sound of birds and waves somewhere in the d
Fated To Be His Obsession Chapter 70 - Stay Hidden
Nina looked up at the figure in front of her. This was the first time she’d seen Damien in real life—outside the curated photos on the internet and the ones Chloe used to flash in her face jokingly.She stared at him for a long second.The man behind the storm which Chloe had fled. The one she’d cried over. The one she still loved, even if she didn’t want to.He was standing right in front of her.“I believe you know someone I’m looking for,” Damien said, his voice stern.“Excuse me?” Nina finally said, her voice cool.“You heard me,” Damien replied, his tone too sharp.Nina’s brows shot up, disbelief flickering in her expression.Damien’s eyes softened as he realized his misstep. “I’m sorry,” he said, voice lowering. “What I meant is….I’m looking for Chloe and I think you may be able to help me.”Nina folded her arms across her chest, her stance steady and guarded.“And why would you think that?” she asked.“Because you’re her friend. And I think you know exactly where she is.” Damie
Fated To Be His Obsession Chapter 69 - Out On The Coast
It had been three days since Chloe Bennett disappeared from the rest of the world.But she was everything but unsafe.If anything, she was calm. And for the first time, she felt protected.In the soft quiet of Nina’s aunt’s coastal condo, Chloe sat curled on a cushioned armchair by the wide living room window.The sea was visible from here, endless and silver-grey, stretching into a sky bruised with morning clouds. A light breeze carried the faint scent of salt and rosemary from the garden below, and for the first time in what felt like weeks—maybe longer—her heartbeat wasn’t in a race against itself.She wasn’t checking her phone.She wasn’t crying.She wasn’t running.The only person she thought of was herself.“Tea?” Nina asked, stepping in from the kitchen, two mugs in her hand.Chloe looked over and offered a grateful smile. “Yes. Please.”Nina passed her the cup and sank into the couch nearby, tucking one leg beneath her.“So,” she said gently. “How are we feeling today? Still w
Fated To Be His Obsession Chapter 68 - Finding Chloe
The rain had just started when Damien stepped out of his car.Chloe’s apartment complex stood quiet, almost too calm, the silence that felt wrong. He pulled his coat tighter, climbed the steps two at a time, and when he got to the door he paused. The last time he was here Chloe had thrown him out and ended what they had.Damien shook his head as if shaking out the memory of that night. He rang the doorbell. Once. Twice. Nothing.He knocked, harder this time.“Chloe,” he called, voice low but urgent. “Open the door.”But there was no response.He pulled out his phone and called her. But it went straight to voicemail. He tried again, thumb trembling slightly, but the result was the same. Each unanswered ring fed something cold in his chest.Then, from across the hall, an older woman cracked open her door. Damien turned, his gaze set on her.“She’s not there,” the woman said chewing something he couldn’t quite see. “Left two days ago. Had a suitcase.”“Did she say where she was going?” h
Fated To Be His Obsession Chapter 67 - Missing Damsel
The phone rang for the third time and went straight to voicemail.Miranda stood outside Chloe’s apartment, her brow furrowed, her thumb hovering uncertainly over the call log. The last time she was here, she had just dropped a bomb on her daughter and now, she couldn’t even get a hold of her. She stared at the door, then knocked. Once. Twice. Nothing.“Chloe,” she called out, knocking again, this time louder. “It’s me. Open the door.”But silence answered her.She hesitated, then reached into her purse for the spare key. Chloe had given it to her months ago, back when things were still… normal. Sliding it into the lock, Miranda pushed the door open — and froze.The air inside was stale, unmoved for days. A coffee mug sat abandoned on the kitchen counter. The hoodie she wore the last time she saw her was draped over the back of the couch. The bed is untouched. No dishes in the sink. It was like walking into a paused life.Her daughter hadn’t been here in a while. It was obvious.Mira
Fated To Be His Obsession Chapter 66 - The Moments After
Damien shrugged under the sheets, his body resisting every movement.The sharp glow of the sunlight hit his eyes as soon as the curtains were pulled open.“Get up,” Sebastian’s voice echoed through the room. “No one ever gets anything done by brooding.”“Not in the mood, Seb,” Damien muttered, his voice thick and groggy.“Well, neither am I.” Sebastian set a steaming mug on the table. “I made you coffee. I don’t know how you like it, so pardon whatever it tastes like.”He gave a dry shrug.“This should help you think straight. If I’d known you would empty my whiskey cabinet, I might as well have left you at Chloe’s door.”Damien shot him a hard glare, but Sebastian only smiled thinly and sat down cross-legged in his king-sized chair, stirring a cup of tea with a teaspoon before letting it clink onto the saucer.“She hates me,” Damien said, sipping from the mug.“That is true,” Sebastian said, sipping his tea without missing a beat.Damien leaned back against the headboard, staring bla
