HIS COLD ADDICTION chapter65***REGOGNITION
Arthur Voss did not like surprises.He especially did not like when information arrived that did not fit neatly into place.The background report on Tiana Solche was thinner than he expected.Too thin.No public complaints.No legal battles.No loud attempts to seek compensation.She had simply… continued living.Quietly.Working small jobs.Keeping a low profile.And recently…No clear employment record at all.That made him pause.People who had nothing usually tried to get something.She had done neither.He flipped the page.A recent address.A neighborhood far above what her file suggested she could afford.Voss’s eyes narrowed slightly.That didn’t match.He circled the address with a pen.Then leaned back slowly.Something was wrong here.Across the city, Tiana felt an odd calm settle over her.Like the moment before a storm finally broke.Vince watched her from across the table.“He’s reading the report,” she said quietly.He nodded.“Yes.”She inhaled deeply.“This is where h
HIS COLD ADDICTION chapter64***NAMES ON A LIST
The list arrived on Arthur Voss’s desk before noon.Printed.Neatly stapled.Twenty-seven names.Former property owners tied to acquisitions handled through Ravenspire and its network of shell companies over the last decade.He read each name slowly.Carefully.Looking for patterns.Complaints.Lawsuits.Public outbursts.Anything that suggested resentment strong enough to grow into revenge.Most of them were forgettable.People who had signed, taken money, and disappeared into quieter lives.A few had protested.But nothing significant.Then his eyes stopped.Tiana Solche.He didn’t recognize the name.But something about the file attached to it made him pause.A note scribbled by one of his assistants:Family refused compensation. Property demolition escalated. Owner deceased shortly after.Voss leaned back.This one had been messy.He remembered that.Not because of the girl.But because of the father.The man had refused to sign.Refused to cooperate.Created delays.Noise.Proble
HIS COLD ADDICTION chapter63***DEFENSIVE MOVES
Arthur Voss stopped looking outward.That was the first sign.The investigator reported it with quiet fascination.“He’s canceled two public appearances. Postponed a board meeting. He hasn’t left his office building all day.”Tiana listened carefully.“He’s retreating,” she said.Vince nodded.“Exactly where we want him.”Because when men like Voss stopped moving freely…They began rearranging things internally.And internal movement…Left trails.By afternoon, the first trail appeared.Ravenport Holdings began transferring large sums of money between accounts.Fast.Frequent.Nervous.Tiana stared at the numbers Vince had pulled from the financial alerts.“He’s shifting funds,” she said.“Yes,” Vince replied. “Trying to clean the books before investigators get deeper.”She looked up at him.“But won’t that look suspicious?”A faint smile touched his lips.“Very.”The more Voss tried to hide…The more visible he became.Transactions that had been slow and quiet for years were now loud
HIS COLD ADDICTION chapter62***THE BAIT
Arthur Voss did not like invisible enemies.He preferred problems he could see.People he could threaten.Voices he could silence.But this…This felt like being watched from behind a mirror.So he did what he always did when he felt cornered.He created movement.On Tuesday morning, a story broke online.Small at first.Almost forgettable.A local news blog reported that a former homeowner was suing a construction company over illegal land acquisition from years ago.The name of the company caught Vince’s attention immediately.One of the shell companies tied to Ravenspire Holdings.Tiana read the article twice.“This isn’t random,” she said.Vince shook his head.“No. This is staged.”She looked at him. “Staged?”“Yes. Voss is trying to see who reacts.”Her stomach tightened.“He’s throwing bait.”Vince nodded.“And waiting to see who bites.”The article spread quickly through business circles.Legal forums.Financial blogs.It was just loud enough to attract attention.But vague en
HIS COLD ADDICTION chapter61***THE MAN WHO NEVER PANICKED
Arthur Voss did not raise his voice.He did not throw things.He did not pace.That was what made him terrifying.He sat behind his wide mahogany desk, fingers steepled beneath his chin, eyes fixed on the printed notice placed neatly in front of him.Ravenport Holdings — Under Financial Review.He read it twice.Then a third time.His expression never changed.But inside…Something had shifted.Because this had not come from nowhere.And Arthur Voss did not believe in coincidences.He pressed a button on his desk.“Get me legal.”His voice was calm.Too calm.The kind of calm that made people nervous.Within minutes, two lawyers stood in front of him.They spoke carefully.Respectfully.Explaining what the notice meant.What would happen next.How they could delay.Divert.Minimize.Voss listened without interrupting.Then he asked one question.“Who reported it?”The lawyers exchanged a glance.“We don’t know, sir. It was anonymous.”His eyes darkened slightly.Anonymous.That word a
HIS COLD ADDICTION chapter60***PRESSURE POINTS
The house felt different after Hargrove’s disappearance.Quieter.As if the walls themselves understood that something had shifted.Tiana moved through the rooms with heightened awareness. Every sound made her pause. Every passing car outside made her glance toward the window.Vince noticed.He didn’t comment on it.He simply increased the security around the house without telling her he had done so.She only realized when she saw the subtle new cameras near the gate.He was preparing.For Voss.“We can’t keep nudging him from the shadows,” Vince said that afternoon, spreading the documents across the table again.Tiana sat opposite him.“So what now?”“We stop frightening the middleman.”She swallowed. “Because he’s gone.”“Yes. And now we go after the structure.”She leaned forward. “How?”Vince tapped the papers.“Companies. Financial trails. The legal side of this.”Tiana frowned. “But Voss’s name isn’t on anything.”Vince’s eyes lifted to hers.“Not directly.”She understood.Ind
HIS COLD ADDICTION chapter14***CRACKS IN THE ARMOR
The city was quiet when Tiana finally reached her apartment building.It stood between two old structures on a narrow street, the faded paint on the walls already beginning to peel. The hallway lights flickered weakly, and the elevator had been broken for months.She climbed the stairs slowly.Each

Dinner With the DevilThe restaurant Vince Donovan chose was the kind of place most people only saw in magazines.Crystal chandeliers hung from the high ceiling, scattering warm golden light across polished marble floors. Soft music floated through the air while waiters moved quietly between tables
HIS COLD ADDICTION chapter12***THE WOMAN WHO SHOULDN'T EXIST
The city was already awake when Vince Donovan arrived at his office.The towering Donovan Industries building stood like a monument in the heart of the financial district. People rushed through the entrance with nervous urgency, as they always did when they worked under a man like Vince.Power radi
HIS COLD ADDICTION chapter11***A DANGEROUS GAME
A Dangerous GameMorning crept quietly into Vince Donovan’s penthouse, the pale sunlight slipping through the tall glass windows that overlooked the sprawling city below.Tiana woke before him.For a few seconds she simply lay there, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling above her. The silk sheets wrap
