His Deadly Obsession CHAPTER 113
CHAPTER 113RAFAELA week after the shopping trip, I was beginning to suspect that the silence from the palace wasn't accidental.On Tuesday morning, I stood alone in the study with the door shut, my second phone in one hand and the other resting against the edge of the desk. It was a little after seven, and Cassian was still asleep upstairs. I'd tried Dante twice since the previous evening, both times through numbers he knew not to ignore without a reason. Neither call had gone through. Lucien's line rang until the recorded message played, while Kade's didn't ring at all. I tried Dante once more, waited for the call to end, then lowered the phone.I wasn't going to keep calling the same people from the same device. If they were being monitored, repeated attempts would only make things easier for whoever was watching. If they weren't being monitored, the lack of response was still a decision someone had made.Last week, Lucien had answered Cassian in less than three rings. He'd laughe

CHAPTER 112CASSIAN He kissed the corner of my mouth, then my cheek, before turning his attention to my neck. I tipped my head back against the wall, giving him room, and closed my eyes when his lips found the sensitive spot beneath my jaw."You're leaving marks," I reminded him."That's the point.""You're unbelievable.""You knew that before you got involved with me.""Unfortunately."He lifted his head to look at me, and I grinned at him. His expression changed immediately."What's so funny?""You.""Careful, Cassian.""Or what?"He answered by kissing me again, and whatever I might have said disappeared. I held on to him while he carried me down the hall, his steps steady despite my weight and my complete refusal to make the journey easy for him.When we reached the bedroom, he set me on the bed long enough to retrieve the shopping bag he'd brought in with us. I pushed myself up on my elbows and watched him pull out the things we'd bought earlier.The lubricant came first, follow
His Deadly Obsession CHAPTER 111 II
CASSIAN I took out my phone while she calculated the total, briefly checking my messages. Maya had sent me two texts asking whether I'd eaten and one asking if I was still looking at the comments. I ignored the last one and replied that I was out shopping, then put my phone away just as the stylist turned the tablet toward me.I reached for my card, but Rafael caught my hand before I could tap it against the reader."What are you doing?" I asked.He moved my hand away from the machine and took out a black card from his wallet. I'd never seen it before, and I was fairly certain I would've remembered a card that looked like it belonged to someone who bought buildings for fun.He placed it on the reader.The machine approved the payment almost immediately.I stood there with my own card still between my fingers, staring at him while the stylist continued arranging the bags as if nothing unusual had happened."Since when do you have that?"Rafael put his wallet away. "Since before I met
His Deadly Obsession CHAPTER 111
CHAPTER 111CASSIANI found Rafael in the study a little after eleven, sitting behind his desk with his laptop shut and a glass of water beside his hand. I was still in my sweats and his shirt, with my hair looking like I'd spent the night fighting my pillow and losing. My lip hurt whenever I moved it too much, and I'd already made the mistake of checking the comments under the clip three times that morning. If I did it a fourth time, Maya would somehow sense it from across the city and call to remind me that I was supposed to be resting.I leaned against the doorframe and pointed at him. "Get dressed. We're going out."Rafael looked up from the glass. "Where?""Shopping.""Shopping for what?""Clothes. Shoes. Jewelry. Perfume. Whatever else I find interesting while we're there." I walked into the room and pulled out the chair opposite his desk, sitting down before he could ask me another question. "I'm bored, you're underdressed, and if I stay in this house much longer, I'm going to

CHAPTER 110RAFAELThe elder line rang at half past nine, while Cassian was in the shower and the kitchen still smelled like the coffee I hadn't finished. I took it in the study and shut the door. I already knew the voice. I didn't sit."You've been difficult to reach," he said."You've been difficult to miss.""Don't be clever. Phase two was supposed to move this month. We sent instructions. You didn't answer them. The council notes stopped. The men we placed for you stopped hearing from you. Explain it.""There's nothing to explain. I'm done."He was quiet long enough that I heard someone else shift on his end of the line. "Done with what.""The plan. The vote. The seat. I'm not progressing it, and I'm not going to. You can take my name off the list.""You don't take your name off a list we built. You were raised for this. We pulled you out of that house, we trained you, we kept the line alive when the palace said it was dead. You don't get to decide the work is finished because Ame

CHAPTER 109RAFAELI tried Dante first, because he answers even when he doesn't want to. It was late morning in the house and Cassian was still upstairs with the ice pack and his phone facedown, so I took the call in the study and shut the door. The line rang out. I tried Lucien next. Same result. Kade's number went to a recorded message that wasn't his. I stood at the desk with the phone in my hand and didn't call again right away, because three misses in a row isn't a coincidence and calling a fourth time from the same device would only confirm I was looking.I waited an hour. I made coffee. I checked the locks. I answered Maya's text about the legal note with a time, nothing else. Then I used the second phone, the one that doesn't sit on Cassian's counter, and sent the short encrypted note I use when I need a body in a room and not a conversation. Dante's channel returned a receipt and nothing after it. Lucien's returned a line that said the council was in session and to route rout
