last update publish date: 2026-09-25 00:03:21

I don’t slow my pace as I cross the yard. That bastard better have a good fucking explanation for why he’s here disturbing my peace at this time of day. The rifle in my right hand and the limp rabbit in my left are the only things keeping me grounded while my mind spins out of control. I’m not about to kill my own brother because he decided to show up at my house uninvited.

Who’d invite him, though?

As much as I hate to admit it, I hate him. He’s the golden son. The one our father didn't dar

  • His Hidden Obsession    Chapter 68: The Punishment

    I have to make it.I have to escape.I have to get away from him.The thought of him waiting a few seconds just to give me a head start makes me furious. In high school, I led my track team to glory. Guess what that sport was? Running. Yeah, you got that right. I was the star female runner. I run well. I know how to fucking run. But with Lex, it feels like I'm moving through molasses. How does a man with that massive build move so fast and so silently? It’s as if he was engineered for this, trained to hunt in the dark with those beautiful haunting blue eyes. Does he have night vision?I'm not giving up so easily. Even if he captures me again, I’m going to make him work for it. I’ll give that man a fight he won't forget. I'm an animal at times, I tell you. A fucking animal. I push forward, tears of frustration stinging my eyes, until a sharp, burning agony shoots through the sole of my left foot.“Ahhh! Fuck!”I stumble hard, collapsing against the rough bark of a tree. I pull my foot

  • His Hidden Obsession    Chapter 67: The Prey

    🌹~LITTLE BIRD~🌹The dim lighting makes it hard to take in the space around me, but I’m suddenly brought up short by a built-in monitoring station. Rows of glowing screens display live feeds of the exact basement unit where I was just held. I see Lex on one of the screens. He’s counting down patiently.I look up at the square opening in the ceiling where light spills down into the room. Then I realize this place is also a basement. The shock almost paralyzes me. What kind of sick fuck has two built-in basements? I don't delay. I climb the stairway leading to the ceiling and find myself in a living room. I sprint toward the front door and yank it open. The cool night air rushes over my naked skin, though the burning adrenaline inside me makes the chill barely register.“What the fuck…”I’m surrounded by a dense canopy of towering trees in the middle of fucking nowhere. I knew we were in the woods, but I didn't know it was this isolated. My heart caves.What if Lex changes his mind and

  • His Hidden Obsession    Chapter 66: Prove Me Wrong

    “You don't mean that.”“I do,” I say flatly.Her eyes are fixed on mine as if she’s searching for a concealed truth, one I’ll never admit out loud. I want you to stay, my beautiful, stubborn Little Bird. You’ve made a fucking habit of getting beneath my skin, even when I gave you every reason to hate me.It's pathetic, really. I've spent years making sure no one gets close enough to matter. I've built walls around myself, buried everything that could make me vulnerable, and somehow this woman has managed to crawl beneath all of it.I never thought anyone else could have this much power over me. And she doesn't even know it. She's become an addiction I can't seem to break. I fucking hate it. Because everyone I've ever let this close eventually dies.“I don't believe you,” she says, tears pricking at the corners of her eyes.Isn't this what she's always wanted? To leave me? To leave this godforsaken basement? She should be leaping for joy. Yet here she is, looking at me as though I've j

  • His Hidden Obsession    Chapter 65: The Dead Don’t Come Back

    “I’ve heard enough bullshit tonight, Sir. There's a limit to how much shit I can take in one night.”He walks closer. I turn around to face him. His hand is stretched out, holding out his phone. I raise a brow. He pushes the device further, urging me to take it. I do. I hit play on the video displayed on the screen.It’s a woman walking along a crowded pavement, her head slightly bowed as she checks something in her hand. She is wearing sunglasses and has short blonde hair. Her clothes look expensive and stylish. Her face is turned slightly away from the camera.Anyone else might dismiss her as a stranger. I can’t. I know the shape of her face like the back of my hand. I know the way she held her head when she walked. Even with the sunglasses, the different hair, and different taste in fashion, I know it's her. I replay the video over and over again and pause right when she turns her face slightly toward the lens. I stare at her until my vision blurs. My grip on the phone tightens. T

  • His Hidden Obsession    Chapter 64: The House of Monsters

    Julian is the most sadistic bastard in our bloodline. And trust me, that’s saying something, considering the monsters I’m related to. But my older brother takes the crown.I should fuck Claire?“You're kidding, right?” I ask.“No,” he states plainly. “Fuck her in front of her husband. It sounds fun. I want to hear her scream and I want him to watch while another man ruins what belongs to him.”“I’m not doing it.”Julian doesn't take his eyes from me. “If you're over Megan, as you claim..” He pauses, savoring the sudden tension in the room, his chest swelling with sick pleasure at the thought of pushing my buttons. “...you won't mind tearing into this bitch.” He plants his shoe squarely onto Claire’s neck, crushing her into the carpet until a suffocating whimper tears from her throat. “Prove to me you’re over Megan. Prove it by fucking this whore.”How much longer can I refrain from doing the unspeakable to my own brother? How much longer?A cold flare of anger flashes behind my eyes,

    ☠︎~THE MONSTER~☠︎“You sure took your time, brother,” Julian says, taking a slow sip. “I was starting to think you'd forgotten who signs your cheques ever since you returned to the fold.”I don't answer right away. I let Julian think he’s won this round. He doesn't show it, but he’s super competitive and hates to lose. “Why did you call me here? I suppose there was a new assignment.”“Can't we hang out as brothers? I’m your big brother. I just wanted to show you the fun you're missing all the while you're cooped up in that cabin of yours.There is an actual life outside that cabin. Everything isn't about missions and assignments.” His eyes meet mine. He smiles. “Sometimes, I just want to spend time with my little brother.”Only a fool would believe him. If he were genuine about really spending some time with me, he would not have picked this place. Julian knows how much I hate this place.It’s one of our father’s legacy holdings—a wretched hive where rich pigs trade cash for sins they
