I NEED YOU, ELENA BOUND BY LOVE OR OBSESSION?
Chapter 0021BOUND BY LOVE OR OBSESSION...RYAN,I stood outside her house again. I told myself I wasn’t stalking her, that I wasn’t obsessed, that I wasn’t violating every unspoken rule by standing here in the dark, watching. But deep down, I knew the truth. I had followed her here—just like I had trailed her to work, to the café she always stopped at, to the bookstore she visited on weekends. I had memorized the rhythm of her life, traced the patterns of her existence like an addict chasing a high.I couldn't stay away, no matter how hard I tried. Not after discovering the truth—she was connected to my family, and I needed to know how. Elena was married to my uncle. That knowledge alone had carved something hollow inside me, leaving a raw, gaping wound festering with unanswered questions. What happened to Jonathan? Who was the man she married? Why did she stay? None of it made sense. The Elena I knew—brilliant, strong-willed, passionate—would never allow herself to be trapped. So wh

Chapter 0022TWISTED DEVOTION.RYAN,I barely remembered getting back to my car.One moment, I was inside that house, drowning in the suffocating tension between us, searching—begging—for something in her eyes. A flicker of the past, a crack in her armor, any sign that she wasn’t as indifferent as she pretended to be. That she wasn’t lying to me. That the connection we had wasn’t just an illusion I’d built in my mind.And then, in the next breath, I was outside.The night air hit me like a slap—cold, sharp, cutting through the heat burning beneath my skin. I barely noticed.My fingers curled around the steering wheel, squeezing so tightly that my knuckles ached, the pressure sending sharp jolts of pain up my forearms. My pulse pounded at the base of my skull, a brutal, unrelenting beat that refused to settle. Each breath came too fast, too sharp, pulling in the scent of damp pavement, gasoline, and the faintest trace of her lingering on my skin.I was drowning in it.The scent of her.

Chapter 0023BETRAYAL IN THE DARK.EVAN,I couldn’t shake the shock from my mind. Who the hell was that guy, and why had he rushed to save her? The question burned through me, feeding the fire already raging inside. My fists clenched at my sides, my pulse hammering as I glared at Elena. My breath came in sharp, heated bursts.She brought him here.That realization hit harder than anything. This wasn’t an accident. It wasn’t a coincidence. She had brought him—to my house, into my space—as if she had the right."So, you have the audacity to bring your boyfriend into this house?" My voice was low but laced with fury, dripping with venom. "You date children now? And you come here to hurt me?"Elena’s eyes widened, and she took an instinctive step back. I saw it—the flicker of fear in her gaze. A dark satisfaction curled inside me.Good. She should be scared."I—I don't know what you're talking about," she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper.I scoffed, stepping closer, closing the

Chapter 0024SHATTERED VOWS.ELENA,My hands wouldn’t stop shaking. No matter how hard I tried to still them, the tremors wouldn’t go away. My back remained pressed against the cold wall where Evan had cornered me, his fury seared into my mind like a brand I couldn’t erase.The moment his fist slammed into the wall—just inches from my face—something inside me shattered. Fear, raw and unfiltered, coiled in my chest, suffocating me from the inside out. It was as if all the air had been forced out of my lungs, leaving behind nothing but a hollow ache and the echoes of his rage.I had seen Evan angry before. I had seen him reckless, dangerous even. I knew what he was capable of. But tonight was different. Tonight, I saw something in his eyes that I had never seen before. Something dark. Something possessive.I wrapped my arms around myself, struggling to breathe. My heartbeat pounded in my ears, drowning out rational thought. He had looked at me like I was his possession, something that b

Chapter 0025BETRAYAL AND LOVEELENA,I ran.I didn’t think. I didn’t breathe. I just ran.The cold morning air sliced through me, sharp and unforgiving, but I barely felt it. My pulse pounded in my ears, drowning out the distant hum of the waking city. My vision blurred—not from exhaustion, but from the sheer force of emotions crashing over me like a relentless wave. My heart wasn’t just racing; it was plummeting, sinking into a darkness so deep, so suffocating, that I feared I might never surface.Evan was in Diva’s apartment.Shirtless.Disheveled.Looking like he had spent the night.A violent twist of nausea rolled through my stomach, cold and sickening. My mind fought to process what my eyes had just seen, but no matter how I tried to reason with myself, the image remained—a cruel, inescapable brand seared into my memory.I should’ve known.I should’ve seen it coming.And yet, I had let him deceive me. Again.Like a fool, I had clung to his empty words, let myself believe in his

Chapter 0026LETTING SOMEONE SHARE THE WEIGHT.ELENA,The silence stretched between us, thick and suffocating, wrapping around my throat like a noose. The world felt unnaturally still, as if the very air had turned dense with the weight of words left unspoken, with the ghosts of a past I desperately wished to bury.Evan’s eyes burned into mine—dark, relentless, a storm raging just beneath the surface. He had always been like this, a force of nature, chaotic and unpredictable. His presence alone was suffocating, a shadow that crept closer, darkening everything in its path.And then there was Ryan.Standing beside me, his body was rigid, his jaw set, his presence an unshakable shield between me and the man who had shattered me once before. He didn’t say anything, didn’t need to. His silence was a quiet, unwavering declaration that he would not let Evan get to me.I forced myself to breathe. To steady the trembling in my hands. To remind myself that I wasn’t that broken girl anymore.“I

Chapter 0027 LOST ELENA. EVAN, I couldn't breathe. The world around me spun, blurring into a nightmare I couldn’t wake from. My chest tightened, my heart hammering a frantic, violent rhythm against my ribs. It felt as if the air had been stolen from my lungs, leaving only the crushing weight of realization behind. It was him. Again. The same guy from earlier—the one who had stepped in when Elena and I were fighting, the one she swore she didn’t know. But there she was, standing before him, her delicate fingers tangled with his like they belonged there. Like she had never belonged to me. A hollow, suffocating ache spread through my chest, cold and unrelenting. My stomach twisted, nausea rising in my throat, and for a moment, I thought I might be sick. No. No, this couldn’t be real. But it was. Elena stood before him, close enough to feel the heat of his breath. Her head tilted slightly toward him, lips hovering inches away from his. That soft, hesitant smile—God, I k

Chapter 0028 THE CALL. ELENA, My heart pounded so violently I thought it might shatter under the force of it. It wasn’t just beating—it was hammering, each pulse sending tremors through my body, each second stretching unbearably between Jeremy’s words and Elena’s response. Every moment of silence was an eternity, a chasm I couldn’t cross, a void filled with uncertainty and fear. I gripped the edge of the table with trembling fingers, my nails digging into the worn wood as if I could anchor myself against the inevitable. But there was no steadying this. No stopping the way my world felt like it was crumbling beneath me. No calming the storm raging inside my chest, threatening to rip me apart from the inside out. Jeremy’s voice was steady when he spoke—steady in a way that told me just how much effort it took him to keep it that way. I could see the tension in his jaw, the way his fingers flexed around the phone like he was holding onto it for dear life. Like letting go would mean

I NEED YOU, ELENA FAMILY COURT
Chapter 96 FAMILY COURTELENAI never thought I’d set foot in a courtroom again—not after everything I’d been through. But there I was, seated beside Ryan in a cold, echoing chamber that reeked of perfume, arrogance, and rehearsed lies. The polished wood, the artificial light, the judge’s impassive gaze—it all felt like a twisted theater where the truth was only allowed to speak if it wore the right suit.Sasha sat across from me, her strawberry-blonde hair curled to perfection, lips painted in the shade of deception. And Jason—God, Jason—looked smug in his tailored suit, his arm draped behind Sasha as if they were some power couple instead of the pair of vipers they truly were.They weren’t here for justice. They were here to humiliate me.To ruin me.To steal something that never even existed.The judge called the session to order, and I swallowed the dry lump in my throat. My palms were sweaty, but Ryan reached over and held my hand beneath the table, grounding me. His thumb brush
I NEED YOU, ELENA THE MASK FALLS
Chapter 95THE MASK FALLSELENAThe house looked different in the daylight. Smaller. Less imposing. But it still held ghosts.My heels clicked against the marble as I stepped into my childhood home. It had been years since I’d last stood inside these walls, and yet the scent of roses and old secrets hadn’t changed. The antique grandfather clock ticked steadily in the hallway, echoing like a countdown.Ryan lingered in the foyer, silent but close. I hadn’t asked him to come. He came anyway. And I needed that—needed him near in case I shattered.“My lady,” the butler said as he approached, eyes wide in surprise. “You’re… you’re here to see Mrs. Sinclair?”“She’s not a Sinclair,” I said, coldly. “She never was.”He swallowed hard and led us to the sunroom.There she was.Lounging in a cream sweater, pale as porcelain, her hair swept back into a tight chignon, sipping Earl Grey like it was any other Wednesday. My stepmother—Caroline.“Elena,” she said warmly, standing as if she’d been wai
I NEED YOU, ELENA UNCLE'S OFFER
Chapter 94UNCLE'S OFFERELENAThe press conference was televised live. Every major network covered it—New York Post, Sinclair Daily, even Morning Sunrise. It wasn’t just a statement. It was a performance.Jonathan Sinclair stood at the podium, flanked by two security guards and a wall of glistening flags behind him. The backdrop of the Sinclair Tower added to the spectacle. His silver hair was impeccably combed back, his bespoke charcoal suit flawless, and his voice—steady, calculated—commanded the room.“To the public, to our shareholders, and most importantly, to my beloved niece, Elena…” His voice dipped lower. “I offer not just an apology, but a promise.”I watched from the living room couch, fists clenched so tightly my knuckles turned white. Ryan stood behind me, pacing like a caged wolf.“I have made grave mistakes,” Jonathan continued. “The death hoax, the manipulation—it ends now. I was a desperate man trying to protect this empire, but in doing so, I forgot what truly matte
I NEED YOU, ELENA THE SILENCE BETWEEN US
Chapter 93THE SILENCE BETWEEN USELENA,The hospital wing was too quiet. Not peaceful—never that—but sterile in a way that felt false. The kind of silence that clung to your skin, made your heartbeat echo like a warning, made every step feel too loud. Fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, humming a nervous tune, casting sharp shadows on the linoleum floor as I moved slowly down the corridor, my boots clicking like accusations.Everyone had told me not to come.“She’s dangerous, Elena.”“You don’t know if she’s still under Jonathan’s control.”“Let Adrian handle it.”But they didn’t understand.I had to see her.Not for revenge. Not for answers.For closure.Evelyn had once been my closest friend. My confidante. My shadow. The one who brushed my hair back after surgeries, who whispered comfort into the void when I forgot who I was. When I’d lost everything—my sight, my freedom, my sense of self—Evelyn had stayed.Until she didn’t.Until she betrayed me.She had lied to me. Lied so beaut
I NEED YOU, ELENA SAFE ISN'T SAFE
Chapter 92SAFE ISN’T SAFEELENA, The silence in the safehouse was deceptive. Too perfect. Too still.Even the wind, which howled outside like some long-forgotten spirit, couldn’t penetrate the oppressive quiet that pressed against the walls. I sat upright in bed, every sense on edge. The floor beneath me vibrated with the faintest creaks, the kind old houses made as they settled into themselves—but this wasn’t just an old house. This was supposed to be a fortress. Hidden. Secure. Untouchable.Yet my pulse said otherwise.I pressed a hand against my stomach. The baby—just a whisper of life—rested within me, and already, my instincts were sharper. Louder. Every inch of me screamed that something was wrong. I couldn’t explain it, but I felt watched. Hunted. Like prey in a cage disguised as safety.I slipped on a hoodie, not bothering with shoes, and crept out of the room. The hallway yawned before me, long and dimly lit by a single emergency bulb hanging above. Shadows danced along the
I NEED YOU, ELENA Womb and War
Chapter 91Womb & WarELENA,The weight of the test in my hand was like the weight of the world. I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think. The moment the two pink lines appeared, my vision blurred. I stared at the small strip, numb to the tremor in my fingers, unable to process what it meant.Pregnant.A child.My first instinct was to panic. A baby meant vulnerability—something I couldn’t afford. It meant ties to this world, to Ryan, to the monstrous family that still lurked in the shadows. It meant another complication I didn’t need. But then, amidst the panic, something else stirred—something deeper, something softer. A flutter of hope, or was it dread disguised as it?I pressed the back of my hand to my lips, feeling the burn of unshed tears in my eyes. How could this happen now? How could I possibly bring a child into this chaos, this war?I sank back onto the edge of the bathroom sink, my breath coming in shallow bursts. The darkness outside the window seemed to press in closer, the c
I NEED YOU, ELENA Blood Oaths & Business
Chapter 90Blood Oaths & BusinessRYAN'SThe boardroom smelled like power—aged mahogany, expensive cologne, and the unspoken stench of betrayal. Ryan stood at the head of the long glass table, every eye on him, most of them cold and calculating. His hands gripped the back of the chair in front of him, knuckles pale against the leather. The Sinclair name was stitched into every corner of this room, from the monogrammed coasters to the gold-embossed folders. But so was the rot his uncle left behind.“I know Jonathan is still pulling strings,” Ryan said, voice calm, controlled. “And I’m done pretending otherwise.”Silence. A single cough from the far end. Then Mr. Caldwell, the CFO, adjusted his tie and narrowed his eyes. “That’s a serious accusation, Mr. Sinclair.”“It’s not an accusation. It’s a statement of fact.”He slid a thin folder across the table. Inside were photos—grainy but clear enough—of Jonathan Sinclair walking into a private residence just weeks ago. Beneath that, survei
I NEED YOU, ELENA THE GHOST IN HER EYES
Chapter 89The Ghost in Her EyesELENA,The silence after the video ended was louder than any scream. It settled over the room like dust in a tomb—heavy, stale, suffocating. Not even the steady hum of the old cabin's heater could cut through it. All I could hear was the phantom echo of Jonathan's voice: "My perfect heir." The words played on loop, like a dirge inside my skull.Ryan didn’t let go of my hand. His grip was firm, tethering me to the present, but my mind was already unraveling, pulling threads I didn’t know were loose. That girl—the one with eyes like mine and Jonathan’s sharp, predatory posture—she couldn’t be mine. That wasn’t possible. I would have remembered. I would have felt something. Wouldn’t I?But I didn’t. I didn’t remember a pregnancy. I didn’t remember holding a baby. I didn’t remember her.I wasn’t even sure I remembered me.“She looks like him,” I whispered, my voice hollow. “But… there’s something in her eyes. Something I know.”Ryan didn’t respond immediat
I NEED YOU, ELENA Fractures & Flashbacks
Chapter 88Fractures & FlashbacksELENA,The safehouse was too quiet.Nestled deep in the Catskill Mountains, this secluded cabin had been chosen for its obscurity, but all I felt was the suffocating silence that wrapped around me like a shroud. I stood by the frosted window, staring out at the moonlit outline of pine trees. Somewhere, far in the woods, an owl hooted, but I didn’t flinch. I was beyond flinching now.Behind me, the crackling fire in the hearth offered warmth, but it was a false comfort, unable to reach the cold, stillness that had settled deep in my bones. My hands rested on my stomach—flat, still secret. I hadn’t told Ryan yet. I wasn’t even sure if I could.Ryan.He was pacing in the living room, sharp, calculated steps echoing in the stillness. He hadn’t slept in two days, not since we fled the burning hideout. His appearance was a far cry from the immaculate man I had once known. His shirt was half-buttoned, sleeves rolled up in haste, and his hair was a wild mess
