Calla stared at the figure sleeping peacefully beside her. A low exhale slipped from her lips as she remembered how Rico had broken down in her arms earlier. He really was in pain. Seeing him like that made her wish she could somehow take that weight off his shoulders, even if only a little.

She wished she could erase the guilt he carried, the memories that kept dragging him back to that night. But she knew some wounds didn’t disappear so easily. Some stayed, buried deep, shaping a person in wa

  • His To Possess    Chapter 164: Sprained Ankle

    Calla tried to speak but the words wouldn't come out. How could she tell him she followed him there? He would be more pissed to find out that she followed him thinking he was a stranger.She swallowed and tried again. “I couldn’t sleep,” she started, her voice in a whisper. “So I went into the conservatory.”“In nothing but a thin robe?” he asked, his voice growing sharper.“It… it wasn’t that cold when I left the house.” She pushed her lower lip forward, her gaze falling to where he held the ice pack over her sprained ankle.Of course, it was cold when she stepped outside and her feet touched the ground. It had rained, and she wasn’t oblivious to that. She had only thought she would be in the conservatory for a short while.Silence fell between them, both breathing and trying to control their emotions. Then Rico sighed. “I’m sorry,” he said. “I’m not angry… I’m just—” he stopped, exhaling harder.Calla lifted her head and peered at him, her eyes narrowing slightly. “What happened?” s

  • His To Possess    Chapter 163: Slippery & Wet

    Calla stirred in bed, sleep refusing to come. It was well past midnight, and Rico still wasn’t back. She couldn’t help but wonder what had kept him out for so long. From the look on his face when he read that message, it had clearly been something bad.Worry sat heavily in her chest, but her pride wouldn’t let her call him.With a tired sigh, she pushed herself up, giving up after hours of trying to fall asleep. A small frown settled on her face as she wondered why she was still awake, even though exhaustion weighed down her body.She had spent the entire day with Sophia—letting her cry, hugging her tightly, staying by her side, making sure she wasn’t alone or slipping deeper into her thoughts.It had drained her, but she knew she would do it all over again if she had to.A low groan escaped her as she dragged herself out of bed. Her eyes drifted to the empty space beside her where Rico should have been, and she remembered he wasn’t there. She pressed her lips together, letting out an

  • His To Possess    Chapter 162: In The Woods

    The rain fell softly, soaking into the soil and the grass. Rico stood there without moving, letting it drench him completely, as if the cold water could wash away even a small part of what he felt.He didn’t blink, and he didn’t shift. He just stood there, watching as Sandro’s body—and what was left of his family—were slowly lowered into the ground.They had to bury them that same day since there was no one else to claim them, and no relatives to wait for. And Sandro’s wife and child… what was left of them couldn’t be kept any longer. It was better this way. Less painful for everyone involved.Rico had made sure of it himself.Right after the call with Marco ended, his phone had buzzed. It was a message from Marco. There were no words or explanation, only an address. Rico didn’t waste time, he went there himself.It wasn’t the same place where Sandro had been killed. Marco wasn’t careless like that. The building was empty when Rico arrived, the door already open like someone had been

    "What do you mean he's missing?!" Rico blew, slamming his fist on the table as he shot to his feet. He breathes heavily, peering at Matteo who texted him earlier that something really bad had happened.He was with Calla at the time the message came in, and he hated the idea of leaving her at that moment. She looked like she was hurt by something he'd said. But again, the message seemed urgent.He immediately arrived at their meetup area. Matteo and Costa were the only ones present. They had to break the news to him. Sandro was missing. He was abducted."We were supposed to meet up here and work on new tasks," Matteo started. "But when he didn't show up, we knew something was up..." he sighed, unable to go on.Costa continued, and Rico's attention shifted to him. "You know how he is with a new task, boss," he said. Rico nodded, agreeing with him. Sandro was a machine. Whenever there was a new task or an enemy's system that needed infiltration, he was a hundred percent ready. Him not s

  • His To Possess    Chapter 160: Sophia's Pains

    “W-what?” Her voice faltered, the word barely making it past her lips. She wasn’t sure she’d heard him right.Rico blinked, as if realizing what he'd just said. But his pride was bigger than his head, so he didn't say anything to defend his words. He sighed, his lips set straight. "It's how it has been for many decades," he said flatly. "I can take a mistress... if I want."Calla scoffed. "If you want..." she repeated, her voice low and her eyes never leaving his. She couldn't believe what she was hearing right now. He shut his eyes for two seconds and released a tired sigh. "Look, Lyra—" he stopped just as he had started, the ringing from his phone interrupting them. He paused and checked the message.Calla watched as his eyes that held a neutral expression, suddenly turned dark. Like he had just seen something so horrific, his fingers tightened around the phone, almost crushing it. Her tongue itched to ask what the problem was, but she held her lips shut. He looked up from his ph

  • His To Possess    Chapter 159: A Daughter's Duty

    Calla blinked once. Followed by multiple times. Was Sophia getting married? Did she mean it, or was she playing pranks on her? Was she not happy about the marriage? But thinking about it, Calla has never heard Sophia talk about a man or woman in her life. Sophia is the chatty type, so of course she should have mentioned a lover to Calla. And the way she said it sounded so... bitter and defeated. Realization washed through her. Was this the reason she's been so withdrawn lately? If she doesn't want to get married, then she shouldn't. "Sophia, you're getting married?" Calla called out, a small worried smile on her face. "That... that's big news." Sophia turned to Calla and rolled her eyes. "As if." Her eyes glistened in the light, and Calla sat how sad and broken she looked. The tears hung loosely in her eyes, threatening to spill with just a blink. Donna Marta exhaled, dropping her fork and knife onto the plate, and staring at her daughter with warm eyes. "Sophia, darling," she

    Calla had successfully put Eli to bed. He was getting bigger by the day, so carrying him had become a little difficult. It ached her heart that her once little brother isn't little anymore.She remembered how she used to lift him off the floor when he was still a toddler, and her parents were still

    “Talk to me,” Rico shot at one of his men, his voice dripping with impatience and urgency as he marched through the hallway of his second warehouse. His steps were hurried, forcing Valentina to practically run after him to match his strides. His fists were tight and his jaw clenched.He had lost co

    "Wh-what?" Calla stuttered, wiping water off her mouth. She placed the glass gently on the table, her eyes on Sofia."Oh, come on. It's so obvious." Sofia rolled her eyes, chewing on the scrambled egg. "I mean, your hair is such a mess—like someone had their hands in it all nightttt," she dragged,

    Calla slid out of the car and walked face forward to her front door, not bothering to wave 'goodbye' or a 'thank you' to Fabio.She took out the keys from the flower pot by the stair, inserted it into the keyhole and unlocked the door. With a sigh, she entered the house, took off her jacket and hun
