Aurora’s POV

The morning after the warehouse nightmare, the campus felt different. Heavier. Like the air itself was charged with electricity waiting to strike. I woke up in Theo’s arms, safe in his dorm after he had carried me there from the police station the night before. His bruises from the fight with Jake were darkening, but his hold on me was gentle, protective. We had spent the night making love slowly, tenderly, his deep thrusts a silent promise that he would always come for me. Yet eve

  • His father’s obsession with me    Chapter 107: shadows we carry

    Aurora’s POVThe days after the warehouse felt like walking through thick, suffocating fog. Every shadow made me flinch. Every unexpected sound sent my heart into that dangerous, irregular flutter my doctor had warned me about since I was a child. The bruises on my wrists had faded to faint yellow marks, but the terror in my mind was still raw, vivid, and unrelenting. Jake’s hands on me. The gag. The ropes. The single damning photo he had forced in front of my eyes. The laughter. The threats.I tried to push through my classes, but my focus was shattered. During a lecture, a door slammed somewhere in the building and I nearly jumped out of my seat, my breath catching painfully in my throat. I excused myself to the bathroom, locked myself in a stall, and tried to breathe through the panic attack. Theo. I need Theo. But he was still dealing with his mom’s worsening heart condition, and I didn’t want to burden him more than I already had.When I finally slipped into his dorm that evening

  • His father’s obsession with me    Chapter 106:shadows we chase

    Theo’s POVThe anonymous call had changed everything.Aurora had played it for me on speaker the moment it happened. The distorted voice, the threat, the chilling final words — “This isn’t finished.” Her face had gone pale, her hands shaking as she clutched the phone. I held her through the panic attack that followed, her heart fluttering dangerously against my chest while I whispered promises I wasn’t sure I could keep.I couldn’t let this continue.The next morning, I met Mark in a quiet corner of the athletic complex, far from prying eyes. He had been my closest friend through all of this, the only one besides Mia who knew fragments of the truth. His eyes were serious when I explained the call.“Anonymous number. Couldn’t trace it from her phone. I need your help. We find who’s behind this. And we deal with Jake and Cassie.”Mark nodded without hesitation. “Jake first. That bastard kidnapped her. Cassie second — the photos were her doing. I’ll make some calls. I know people who can

  • His father’s obsession with me    Chapter 105:Gentle healing and anonymous number

    Aurora’s POVThe nightmares came relentlessly, night after night, like a shadow that refused to be banished by the daylight.I would jolt awake in the dead of night, gasping for air, my heart hammering against my ribs in that terrifying, irregular flutter my doctor had warned me about since childhood. In the dreams, Jake’s hands were always on me — rough, insistent, pinning me to that cold wooden chair in the damp warehouse while he forced the manipulated photo of Theo and Cassie in front of my eyes. The gag in my mouth tasted of dust and fear, muffling my screams into pathetic whimpers. The ropes burned my wrists raw with every desperate tug. His mocking laugh echoed through the empty space, growing louder, more sinister. Sometimes the nightmare twisted further: Theo never came. Jake succeeded. I was alone, exposed to the world, my secret love with Theo broadcast for everyone to see and judge. The shame, the terror, the betrayal — it all crashed over me until I woke up sobbing, body

  • His father’s obsession with me    Chapter 104: vengeance

    Theo’s POVThe rage never left me.It burned like a live coal in my chest, hot and unrelenting, flaring brighter every time I looked at the fading bruises on Aurora’s wrists or the fear that still lingered in her eyes when she woke from nightmares. Jake had put his hands on her. He had tied her up. He had tried to force himself on her. He had terrorized the woman I loved more than life itself.I couldn’t let that slide.I sat in the corner of my dorm late one night, Aurora sleeping peacefully in my bed after another emotional round of lovemaking. Her naked body was curled under the sheets, hair fanned across my pillow, the faint marks of my passion still visible on her neck and thighs. She looked so vulnerable, so precious. My fists clenched at my sides as memories of that warehouse flooded back — her muffled screams, Jake’s mocking laugh, the terror in her eyes when he showed her that manipulated photo of me and Cassie.No. This wasn’t over.I needed to do something about Jake. I nee

  • His father’s obsession with me    Chapter 103:secrets within secret

    Theo’s POVI sat across from my mom in the quiet kitchen of our city apartment, the late afternoon light filtering through the blinds and casting long shadows across the table. The weight of the words I had just spoken hung heavy in the air between us. My mom stared at me, her eyes wide with shock, the spoon in her hand frozen mid-stir in her tea. The diagnosis of her heart condition had brought me home for the week, but the real reason I had finally confessed everything was the unbearable guilt of hiding Aurora from the one person who might understand.“Theo… Aurora?” she whispered, voice barely audible. “Damien and Elara’s daughter? Your cousin?”I nodded, throat tight, fingers gripping the edge of the table. “Yes. But it’s not like that. We didn’t know who the other was when we met at Crestwood. It started as hate, arguments, fights… then something real happened. I love her, Mom. More than I’ve ever loved anyone. She’s not just family. She’s my everything. The one who makes me want

  • His father’s obsession with me    Chapter 102:Empty sheets

    Aurora’s POVTheo’s phone rang late that evening while we were tangled together in his bed, our bodies still slick from another passionate round of lovemaking. His mom’s condition had been stable but concerning since the initial diagnosis. When he answered, his entire body tensed beneath me.“Mom? What’s wrong?” His voice was tight. I stayed curled against his chest, listening to the one-sided conversation, my heart already sinking. “Serious? When? … I’m coming home right now. No, don’t argue. I’ll be there as soon as I can. I love you.”He hung up, eyes dark with worry. “Her heart disorder got worse suddenly. They’re admitting her again. The doctors are worried. I have to go home for at least a week. Maybe longer.”Tears pricked my eyes. The thought of him leaving for a whole week felt unbearable after everything we had survived — Jake’s kidnapping attempt, Cassie’s photo leak, the constant secrecy. But family came first. I kissed his chest softly. “Go. Be with her. I’ll be okay here
