CHAPTER 117

CASSIAN

We were already at the airfield when Maya and Sofia arrived, but the jet still hadn't been cleared for departure. I stood outside the small terminal building with my passport in one hand, checking my phone every few seconds even though I knew nobody had called. The morning had barely progressed, yet I felt as though I'd been waiting for hours. Every time I remembered Rafael sitting in the back of that car with his hands cuffed behind him, I had to stop myself from calling s

  • His Deadly Obsession   CHAPTER 134

    CHAPTER 134 RAFAEL The following morning, I woke up to find Cassian still beside me. For a few seconds, I simply watched him sleep. He'd spent most of the night making sure I was comfortable, and even when exhaustion finally caught up with him, he'd remained careful not to put pressure on my injuries. One of his hands rested against my chest, and his face was relaxed in a way I hadn't seen since before my arrest. I knew the peace wouldn't last. The kings would want answers, and I had no intention of making them wait. There was too much at stake, and if I wanted any chance of having a future with Cassian, I needed to prove that I was no longer working for the people who'd controlled my life for so long. I shifted carefully, trying not to wake him, but he stirred almost immediately. “Where are you going?” he murmured. “Nowhere. I was just trying to get comfortable.” He opened his eyes and looked at me properly. “Does it hurt?” “Not as much as yesterday.” “That's not particula

  • His Deadly Obsession   CHAPTER 133

    CHAPTER 133 RAFAELI still wasn't entirely sure what would happen to me.The execution had been postponed, but that didn't mean I was free or that the kings had suddenly forgiven me. I was still a prisoner, and I knew there would be consequences for everything I'd done. They'd made it clear that my cooperation with the investigation would determine what happened next, and I had no intention of pretending I hadn't earned their anger. After everything I'd put them through, I couldn't expect to walk away without answering for it.As the guards escorted me away from the execution grounds, I kept my eyes lowered, trying to ignore the pain in my body. I was exhausted, and the short walk was already becoming difficult, but I didn't complain. I was simply grateful that I was still alive. More importantly, Cassian was still alive, and that was the only thing I'd been able to think about when I'd seen him kneeling before the kings.He was waiting nearby when we reached the courtyard.The momen

  • His Deadly Obsession   CHAPTER 132

    CHAPTER 132Rowan didn't waste any time. The moment the guards had stepped away from Rafael and the immediate danger of the execution had passed, he turned towards Dante, Lucien, and Kade.“We need to talk. Privately.”Dante looked as though he wanted to argue, but Rowan was already walking towards the entrance of the castle. After exchanging a brief glance with his brothers, Dante followed, with Lucien and Kade close behind. Rowan didn't look back to check whether they were coming. He was too angry to pretend this was a friendly reunion, and the fact that he'd barely arrived in Varynia before discovering that they were about to execute Rafael only made his frustration worse.They entered one of the private rooms adjoining the royal offices. As soon as the doors closed, Rowan turned to face them.“Would someone like to explain what the hell is going on?”Dante folded his arms. “You know what happened. Rafael betrayed us.”“I know he betrayed you. I also know that he's been arrested, t

    CHAPTER 131CASSIANI knew something was wrong the moment Uncle Ashford entered my room.I'd been sitting on the edge of my bed, staring at my phone for what felt like the hundredth time that morning. I hadn't been able to concentrate on anything. Every passing minute felt longer than the last, and the uncertainty surrounding Rafael's situation was slowly driving me insane.Uncle Ashford closed the door behind him, and I immediately looked up."What's wrong?"He didn't answer immediately. Instead, he walked further into the room, his expression unusually serious."Cassian, I came to tell you something."I sat up straighter. "What is it?"He exhaled quietly before looking at me. "The kings have decided to move Rafael's execution forward. It's been scheduled for today."For a moment, I genuinely thought I'd misunderstood him."Today?"He nodded."But... I thought there was still time." My voice came out weaker than I'd intended. "Why would they do that?""They've made their decision.""

  • His Deadly Obsession   CHAPTER 130

    CHAPTER 130 CASSIANRowan called me a little over an hour after our conversation, and I'd spent most of that time sitting on the edge of my bed with my phone beside me, waiting for it to ring. I tried distracting myself by watching television, but I couldn't follow anything that was happening on the screen. Every few minutes, I'd pick up my phone to check whether I'd missed a call or a message, and whenever the screen remained empty, the anxiety returned. I knew Rowan needed time to speak to the kings, but the uncertainty was becoming unbearable. I wanted him to call with good news, to tell me that Dante had agreed to reconsider the execution and that Rafael would be brought out of the dungeon. I knew it was too much to expect, especially when I didn't even know whether the kings had officially settled on a date, but I couldn't stop myself from hoping.When his call finally came through, I answered immediately.“I'm arranging a flight back to Varynia,” Rowan said. “I'll take the earl

  • His Deadly Obsession   CHAPTER 129

    CHAPTER 129CASSIANTwo days later, I was beginning to lose my mind.I'd spent the last forty-eight hours confined to my room under the excuse that the kings needed to ensure I wouldn't interfere with their investigation. A guard remained outside my door at all times, and although I was allowed to use my phone, every attempt to get information about Rafael ended with the same frustrating silence. Uncle Ashford had tried speaking to the kings on my behalf, but even he couldn't get a clear answer about what they intended to do with the prisoner. I'd stopped counting the number of times I'd called my uncle, and I'd barely slept because every time I closed my eyes, I saw Rafael chained to that dungeon wall, looking at me as though I were a stranger. The worst part was that I still couldn't bring myself to believe his words. I knew he'd been trying to protect me, but knowing that didn't make hearing I don't love you hurt any less.That afternoon, I was sitting near the window when I heard
