The boat engine cut and the silence that followed was louder than any words I could have said.

We had just pulled into a hidden cove on the north side of New Eden. The water was calm. The trees hung low over the shore. Ava tied the boat to an old post while I helped Madeline step onto the sand. Her legs were shaky but she stood on her own.

She looked up at the trees and the sky and the open air. Then she looked at me.

  • Forbidden Obsession: Falling for My Stepson   The blood price

    The boat engine cut and the silence that followed was louder than any words I could have said.We had just pulled into a hidden cove on the north side of New Eden. The water was calm. The trees hung low over the shore. Ava tied the boat to an old post while I helped Madeline step onto the sand. Her legs were shaky but she stood on her own.She looked up at the trees and the sky and the open air. Then she looked at me."You have your father's hands," she said. "The same shape. The same way you hold them at your sides when you are thinking."I did not know what to say to that.Ava came up beside us and put a hand on my arm. "We have maybe an hour before Silas figures out we are back. We need to move."Madeline nodded slowly. "Then we move. But I need to say something first. Something I have been holding for a decade."I looked at her. "Say it."She sat on a flat rock near the water. I sat across from her. Ava stayed close but gav

  • Forbidden Obsession: Falling for My Stepson   The prison of glass

    The turrets turned toward us before we even saw the house.I heard the mechanical whir first. Then the barrels. Six of them mounted on low concrete pillars, tracking our movement through the trees with slow, patient precision. We froze behind a thick trunk.Ava grabbed my arm. "Automated defense. Still active."I looked past the trees and saw it. A glass villa sat in the center of a wide clearing. Two stories. Walls of floor to ceiling glass. A curved roof. Solar panels on the east side. No fences. No guards. Just the turrets and the house.And a figure standing at the window.Ava saw her too. "She is there. She is watching us."The woman at the glass was thin. Gray hair pulled back. Her hand pressed flat against the window like she was trying to reach through it. She did not wave. She just stood there.I kept my voice low. "We need to get closer. But those turrets are not going to let us cross the clearing."Ava pulled out the

  • Forbidden Obsession: Falling for My Stepson   The Neighboring Sector

    The radar screen flickered once and then painted a solid shape five miles off the coast that had not been there on any previous scan.Ava and I crouched over the portable unit in the western cave. The secondary island sat on the display like a secret that had finally decided to show itself. We had been staring at blank water for hours. Now this.Ava spoke first. "There it is. Radar shielded until now. The cloak must cycle or weaken on a timer. Five miles. That matches what Silas described."I stared at the outline on the screen. "Smaller than New Eden. No airstrip. One narrow beach. Heavy tree cover. If Madeline is there this is the place."Ava already pulled up the caretaker inventory, her fingers moving fast. "There is a high powered jet ski still listed in the lagoon storage bay. Automated maintenance says it is charged and ready. We can reach it if we move now."I checked the time on the unit. "Silas will not stay blind forever. O

  • Forbidden Obsession: Falling for My Stepson   Silas Vance's Final Revelation

    The voice that came over the open island channel belonged to Silas Vance and the first words out of his mouth stopped me cold in the western cave.Ava and I had just settled into the new position after the fight. My side still hurt but I could move. The portable unit sat between us with the last of the bunker feeds flickering on the small screen. Then the speaker crackled and Silas spoke as if he were standing in the same room."Langford. I know you can hear me. The systems still leak enough for that."Ava's hand tightened on the unit. "He found an open mic. I can cut it. Shut him down."I shook my head. "Leave it. Let him talk. We need whatever he is willing to give us. He came here for a reason."Silas continued. His tone was almost amused, like he was enjoying himself. "You and your wife have made this harder than it needed to be. The grid. The blackouts. The false trails. Impressive for two people with no support."Ava answ

    The rifle cracked once and Silas Vance's head snapped back like he had been punched by a ghost.I was still on my knees in the mud when I heard it. My vision swam from whatever they had pumped into me but I knew that sound. It was the same rifle Ava had practiced with on the yacht deck when she said she wanted to be ready for anything.The second shot hit the metal frame beside Silas and he dove sideways into the cover of a broken generator. His men scattered. They had been dragging me toward the landing zone. Now they were suddenly very busy staying alive.Ava's voice cut through the chaos from somewhere high in the tree line. "Let him go or I put the next one through your throat."Silas shouted back from behind the generator. "You do not have enough rounds to hold us all.""Try me," she said.And then she started firing.Not wild shots. Controlled ones. Each round hit exactly where she wanted it to. A man's boot. The ground next to

  • Forbidden Obsession: Falling for My Stepson   The Command Center Siege

    The alert from the central bunker hit my portable unit like a punch and the name that came with it made my blood run cold.Ava and I were still in the ridge cave, the dim glow of the screen the only light. My side ached under the bandage, a dull throb that reminded me of every step I had taken to get here. The night outside was quieter than before, the jungle holding its breath. Then the screen flashed red, an urgent warning cutting through the silence.Ava grabbed the unit, her fingers moving fast. "Outer doors of the main bunker just took a heavy breach. Multiple points. They're inside."I leaned in, forcing myself to focus. "Show me. I need to see."The remaining cameras fed grainy images to the small screen. Dark figures moved fast through the outer corridor, their movements precise and practiced. At the front walked a tall man in unmarked gear, his posture commanding. The system tagged him from an old watch-list file that had survived i

    Damien’s words from last night still burned in my ears.I barely slept. When morning came, I forced myself to get dressed in a simple white blouse and black skirt. My hands shook as I looked in the mirror. I felt dirty knowing Victor could come to me at any moment. I sold my body to a man old enoug

    Victor’s question hung in the air like a loaded gun.“Damien,” Victor repeated in that dangerously calm voice. “Did you touch my wife while I was gone?”My heart slammed against my ribs so hard I thought I might faint. I stood frozen between the two men. The mark on my neck suddenly felt like a bri

    Victor was coming home early and I was still covered in his son’s marks.My eyes flew open. Damien’s strong arm lay heavy across my waist. The master bedroom smelled like sex and his skin. The sheets were twisted around our naked bodies. I felt sore in places I should not. Shame washed over me like
