Daniel

The more I unraveled, the clearer the picture became.

Fuck.

Nathan's family wasn’t just rich and distant… they were the ones who had made Jacob’s life a living hell.

Every drop of pain, every tear, every nightmare that kept him up at night… it all went back to them.

The realization hit me like a bullet being fired into my chest. I sat there, staring at the scattered documents spread across my desk, my fingers tracing the damning evidence.

Bank records, police reports, witness statements… all of it painted a picture so vile it made my stomach twist and turn.

Jacob had spent years believing his parents’ deaths were an accident. A tragic fire. A cruel twist of fate.

And his uncle had hidden it from him, probably to protect him from meeting the same fate as his family.

But it wasn’t fate. Not it wasn’t that at all

It was murder.

And Nathan’s family had orchestrated it all.

Mixed emotions flooded me. Part of me felt like shit for feeling relieved, because I only got to

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 92

    JacobThe shower scalded my skin, yet his scent lingered, taunting me. Reminding me of the one thing I wanted, but fate wouldn’t let me have.Him.Daniel.Steam curled around my shoulders like possessive arms, the memory of his touch still searing into my flesh. I could still taste him… tequila and minty gum, the metallic tang of my blood where he’d bitten my lip too hard. The water turned my skin lobster-red, but no amount of heat could purge him from my pores. I scrubbed my thighs raw with a loofah, the soap stinging the bruises from his teeth marks. The abrasive fibers scraped over the crescent-shaped indents, each pass sending a jolt of pain-pleasure up my spine.His marks. His claims. I was beginning to love how my body throbbed at the memory. The mirror fogged over, thankfully concealing the damage to my neck. I didn’t want to see the marks of his passion… the purpling blooms that screamed “Jake Hale belongs to Daniel Cobbs.”“Fuck."I threw the loofah with the soap embe

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 91

    JacobIt was yet another night with him after I’d lied to Nathan that I had school projects piled up and I needed to head to my apartment for a while. The rain whispered sweet nothings against the windows of Daniel's apartment, a gentle serenade that should've been calming. But the air was thick with tension, not tranquility. His arm lay across my waist, his warm breath tickling the back of my neck, and every part of me was torn between desire and dread.I was falling for him again.All these times running back into his arm… I was falling back in love?The revelation crashed over me like a stormy wave… comforting in its familiarity, yet terrifying in its potential to drown me.Daniel stirred behind me, his fingertips tracing tantalizing patterns along my hipbone. "You're all wound up," he murmured, his mouth grazing my shoulder.I gulped. "Just lost in thought.""What are you thinking?"“How you broke me before. How I swore you'd never be able to touch me like this again. How all th

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 90

    JacobI’d been in the shower for hours now, and yet my skin had refused to peel off my bones.Nathan was going on about his day, thinking, believing that I was that innocent young boy he’d met at the campus years ago. That I was that boy he’d fallen in love with. The thought of how I’d betrayed him, and how he would react if and when I finally decide to tell him the truth, sent chills down my spine.So this hot shower was a part of the punishment I’d laid out for myself. Maybe if it did its job, if it peeled off my skin, then maybe that would make things easier… better. Maybe that would keep Daniel away… from me.Even while in the shower, all I could think was how his lips always claimed mine, and how he would kiss every part of my body, like he was memorizing the curves and patterns.Just in case I ran and never came back to him. There was always something that seemed to draw me back to him, even after I swore never to go back. Maybe it was the taste of danger, that felt like ho

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 89

    Jacob I took a deep breath as the hot shower steamed around me. The water was almost scalding, but that was just the way I wanted it… needed it.Maybe if it burned enough, it would sear away the filth clinging to my skin, the guilt rotting me from the inside out. It didn’t do shit to clear my muddled thoughts, though. I leaned against the cold tiles, knees bent, letting the hot spray pelt my back like punishment. My skin turned red and raw, but the heat couldn’t touch the ice in my chest. Nothing could. I felt like the world’s biggest asshole. A cheater… A liar. And the worst part? I had no clue who the fuck to trust anymore… my damn self included. If I hadn’t come back here, if I had just accepted that I haven’t moved on from the past. If I hadn’t made Nathan believed, I was totally healed and ready to return to New York, the I wouldn’t be in this mess. And with the wedding to Nathan just around the corner, things only got worse for me. Invitations had been sent for

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 87

    DanielNathan was a mystery that I wanted to solve.From the moment I first saw him, something in my gut twisted… a primal warning, the kind that claws its way up your spine and settles in the back of your throat. He was too perfect, too polished, too in control. Every word he spoke was measured, every gesture deliberate. Not a single hair was out of place, not a single crack in the wall he’d built around him. And that was the problem. People weren’t like that. Not really. Everyone had their secrets, their scars, their ugly little truths they tried to bury. But Nathan? He was a blank slate, a man with no past, and no whispers trailing behind him. And I knew better than to trust a man like that. Especially not with Jacob on the line. So I dug… and dug even deeper.I had connections… people I did business with, powerful people who owed me some favors, people who knew how to peel back the layers of a man’s life until all that was left was the raw, unfiltered truth. It took so
