Chapter 34 — "Consultancy Under Siege"

Two more clients dropped her before lunch.

Sora sat at her small desk in the office she'd rented three months ago, an office she'd been proud of in a way she hadn't let herself be proud of anything in years, and watched a second cancellation email land in her inbox while she was still trying to process the first.

**Re: Marketing Partnership — Withdrawal**

She read the subject line twice before she made herself open it.

  • Her Dark Obsessions:Claimed By The Plus-Size Ruthless Harem   consultancy under siege

    Chapter 34 — "Consultancy Under Siege"Two more clients dropped her before lunch.Sora sat at her small desk in the office she'd rented three months ago, an office she'd been proud of in a way she hadn't let herself be proud of anything in years, and watched a second cancellation email land in her inbox while she was still trying to process the first.**Re: Marketing Partnership — Withdrawal**She read the subject line twice before she made herself open it.*Dear Ms. Robbins, after careful consideration, we've decided to pursue our marketing needs through a different partner. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.*No reason. No specifics. Just the same bloodless corporate language as the one from yesterday.Her hands were shaking slightly when she picked up her phone.---"Miranda." Her voice came out tighter than she meant it to. "Are you free right now.""Sora, what's wrong."

  • Her Dark Obsessions:Claimed By The Plus-Size Ruthless Harem   justin won't say

    # Chapter 33 — "Justin Won't Say"Justin Harrison found out about the client before Sora did.He was in his father's study when the call came through, standing near the window with a drink he wasn't really drinking, mostly just holding it because it gave his hands something to do. Victor was on the phone with someone, voice low and satisfied in a way that made Justin's skin prickle even before he understood what he was hearing."....yes. Good. And make sure it traces back to nothing." A pause. "No, not nothing traceable to us. Nothing traceable to *me.* There's a difference, and I'd like you to remember it."He hung up. Set the phone down on the desk with the kind of precision that meant he wanted Justin to notice how controlled he was being."That was quick," Justin said, before he could stop himself.Victor looked up. "What was.""Whatever that was.""Business," Victor said. "You wouldn't find it interesting."

  • Her Dark Obsessions:Claimed By The Plus-Size Ruthless Harem   Boardroom Blood

    Chapter 32 — "Boardroom Blood"The vote passed at 4:47 in the afternoon, and Sora found out about it from a text message that just said **we won**, with nothing else. No exclamation point. No details. Just two words from a man who never wasted them.She stared at her phone for a long moment before she texted back.**Won what? Are you okay?**Three dots appeared. Disappeared. Appeared again.**Come to the penthouse tonight. I'll explain everything.**That was worse than no answer at all.---By the time she got there, the sun had already dropped behind the skyline, turning the windows of Jack's penthouse into sheets of orange glass. He was standing at the bar when she walked in, tie loosened, sleeves rolled to the elbow, a glass of something amber in his hand that he hadn't touched."Hey," she said.He turned. And for a second .... just a second .... she saw something in his face before he smoot

  • Her Dark Obsessions:Claimed By The Plus-Size Ruthless Harem   old Ghost

    **Chapter 31 — "Old Ghosts"**The woman was waiting outside Sora's building when she came home from the office, standing under the awning like she'd been there long enough to memorize the pattern of the sidewalk.Sora almost walked past her. Almost. But something about the way the woman straightened when she saw her, deliberate and unhurried, made her stop."Sora Robbins.""Do I know you?""Not yet." The woman's smile was thin, careful, the kind of smile that gave away nothing. "Nephis Lukeman. I think you'll want to hear what I have to say before you decide whether that's a problem."Sora's grip tightened on her bag. "I don't know you, and I don't know why you're standing outside my building.""Because what I have to tell you isn't something I wanted to say over the phone, or in an email that could be forwarded, or anywhere with cameras that might make its way into whatever mess your life has become since the accident."

  • Her Dark Obsessions:Claimed By The Plus-Size Ruthless Harem   George's Ultimatum

    **Chapter 30 — "George's Ultimatum"**Victor's study smelled the way it always had, leather and old paper and something faintly bitter, like the man himself had seeped into the walls over thirty years of sitting behind that desk.George wheeled himself in at his father's summons, the way he'd been summoned a hundred times before, and already he could feel the particular weight in the air that meant this wasn't going to be an ordinary conversation."Sit," Victor said, without looking up from the papers in front of him. "Not that you have much choice in the matter.""I'm already sitting, Dad. In case you hadn't noticed."Victor's eyes flicked up at that, cold and assessing. "Careful.""I'm always careful." George rolled forward until he was directly across the desk from his father, close enough that Victor couldn't pretend to be absorbed in paperwork for long. "You wanted to talk. So talk."Victor set his pen down with del

  • Her Dark Obsessions:Claimed By The Plus-Size Ruthless Harem   Cassie's First Crack

    **Chapter 29 — "Cassie's First Crack"** Cassie had been sitting in her car across the street for forty minutes before Melvin came out of the restaurant alone. She'd told herself she wasn't going to come. She'd said it out loud that morning, to her own reflection, like saying it would make it true. *He's just having dinner. It's paperwork. It's nothing.* And then she'd found herself in the car anyway, parked where the streetlight didn't quite reach, watching the warm windows of that restaurant like she could will herself to see through brick. She saw them through the glass twice. Once near the beginning, Sora laughing at something, careful and small, the way people laugh when they're not sure they're allowed to yet. And once near the end, when Melvin leaned forward across the table and said something that made Sora go very still. Cassie's hands were shaking on the steering wheel by the time Melvin walked out into the night a
