His Obsession with the Wrong Bride Chapter 13 - The Cage Tightens
The next morning, the air in the penthouse felt different—thicker, charged, as though Adrian’s new rule had changed the oxygen itself. I felt his presence before I even opened my eyes. He was already awake, already watching me. The weight of his gaze pressed into me like a brand. “Good. You’re learning,” he murmured when I stirred. His hand brushed my hair back, deceptively tender. “No running. No hiding.” I forced a smile. “I wasn’t planning to.” The truth sat like a stone in my throat. I was planning. Not escape—not yet. Just… moments. Small moments where I could breathe without him measuring the air for me. But the day stretched out like proof of his control. When I went to the kitchen, he followed. When I pretended to look for a book in the library, he leaned against the doorway, arms crossed, eyes never leaving me. Even when I retreated to the balcony, he stepped outside with me, his hand brushing my back as if to remind me the leash was still there, invisible but unbreak
His Obsession with the Wrong Bride Chapter 12 - Cracks in the Cage
Morning crept into the apartment in soft slants of light, but Jannah felt no warmth from it. The air was too heavy, too still. When she shifted on the couch, her limbs stiff, she realized Adrian was already awake.He sat across from her, coffee in hand, his gaze pinned on her like she was something fragile—and his.“You didn’t sleep much,” he said, not as a question but an observation.Jannah smoothed her hair nervously. “I was… restless.”“Restless,” Adrian repeated, as though tasting the word. His lips curved faintly, but his eyes didn’t soften. “That won’t do. You’ll rest better when you accept this place is yours, Alyssa.”Yours. The word curled inside her stomach, unwelcome yet heavy. She nodded faintly, pretending to agree, though inside, a tiny spark of rebellion flickered.“I’ll try,” she said, her voice gentle, practiced.Adrian leaned forward, setting the cup down. “Not try, Alyssa. You will.”The steel in his tone made her hands tighten in her lap. She lowered her gaze, hid
His Obsession with the Wrong Bride Chapter 11 - The Cage Tightens
The moment she stepped into the apartment, a strange weight pressed down on Jannah’s chest. Adrian didn’t need to say anything—his eyes alone told her she wasn’t leaving, not tonight, maybe not ever. The door clicked shut behind her, and in that second, the world outside felt distant, unreal.“Where’s your phone?” His voice cut through the quiet, low but sharp, almost dangerous.“I… I left it in my bag,” she mumbled, her fingers clutching the strap instinctively.Adrian’s eyes narrowed. “Give it to me.”Before she could protest, he had it in his hands. He examined it with methodical precision, scrolling, checking, confirming. And then he tossed it onto the counter. “You won’t need this for a while,” he said, his tone soft but edged with authority, like velvet over steel.Fear fluttered in her chest. She wanted to argue, to demand it back, but every fiber of her being hesitated. He was always one step ahead, always knowing what to say and how to say it to make her question herself.“Ad
His Obsession with the Wrong Bride Chapter 10 - The First Fracture
The morning light poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting golden streaks across the bedroom. I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at my trembling hands. The bruises on my wrists had faded, but the memory of Adrian’s tie binding me was still raw.I needed to see Alyssa.The guilt gnawed at me every waking hour. She was lying in a hospital bed, fighting for her life, while I lived hers—her fiancé, her home, her name. Every time Adrian touched me, I wanted to scream. Not only because of the shame but because my sister had trusted me to protect her secret.I rose quietly, slipping into a simple blouse and jeans. I didn’t plan to stay long. Just an hour at the hospital. Just enough to sit by her bedside and remind her that I hadn’t forgotten.But the moment I reached the foyer, Adrian’s voice cut through the silence.“Where are you going?”I froze, my heart pounding. He was descending the stairs, his dark suit impeccable, his tie perfectly knotted. His eyes, however, were sha

The room was quiet, the weight of the night pressing down on me. I had finally managed to drift into sleep when strong hands slid around my waist, pulling me back against a body I could never mistake. “Adrian…” I mumbled, half-asleep, my voice groggy. “Wake up,” he murmured against my neck, his lips grazing my skin. His tone was low, hungry, dangerous. “I’m not finished with you yet.” My eyes flew open, panic stirring in my chest. “It’s the middle of the night—” “I don’t care,” he cut in, his mouth hot on my shoulder. “When I want you, I’ll take you. Time doesn’t matter. Nothing matters except this.” His words wrapped around me like chains. He rolled me onto my back, straddling me, his eyes glowing in the dim light. He reached for his discarded tie from earlier, the silk smooth between his fingers. “Hands up,” he ordered. “Adrian, please…” My protest was weak, my body already trembling with anticipation and dread. “Now.” The command left no room for defiance. Slowly, hesitant
His Obsession with the Wrong Bride Chapter 8 - Between Obsession and Exposure
The air in the bedroom still smelled of sweat and sin. My body ached from the way Adrian had made me unravel under his gaze, but my mind was a storm of guilt. Alyssa’s face flashed in my head, her voice before the accident echoing like a curse: “Don’t let him know… don’t tell him.”Yet here I was, drowning in her fiancé’s arms.Adrian hadn’t moved since I collapsed, still propped on his elbow, watching me like I was some rare, dangerous treasure he’d finally claimed. His lips curved in a slow, dangerous smile as his fingers brushed my cheek.“You’re flushed,” he murmured. “Do you know how beautiful you are when you come undone?”Shame surged through me. I tried to look away, but his grip on my chin forced my eyes back to his.“Don’t hide from me.” His voice hardened. “You gave me everything just now. And I’ll keep taking until there’s nothing left for anyone else.”“Adrian…” My whisper trembled, more plea than protest.His gaze darkened, hunger and something more dangerous swirling th
