MY WILD OBSESSION Chapter nineteen
CHAPTER NINETEEN The morning of my wedding feels unreal.Not in a dreamy, floating-on-clouds way but in the way a storm stands behind a glass wall, silent but threatening. I wake up before sunrise, heart thumping, staring at the ceiling of the penthouse suite Hardin booked for me and the girls. My stomach is tight, my head too full. Today I’m supposed to smile. Today I’m supposed to walk down an aisle with cameras flashing, with people cheering, pretending my life isn’t a whirlwind of fear, secrets, and too-intense emotions.But I get up anyway.Cassie and Sofia are already awake, sipping coffee and rehearsing what they’ll tell the internet once pictures leak. They keep glancing at me as if waiting for me to tear up. I don’t, I can’t afford to. So I plaster on a soft smile and say I’m excited.Inside, I’m praying not to panic.The makeup artist, the hair stylist, and the stylist’s assistants move around me like I’m some rare doll on display. Brushes sweep across my
MY WILD OBSESSION Chapter eighteen
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN Everyone freezes. I feel my heart jump. My family’s eyes shift toward him, and my heart hammers, with fear, and with that strange, dangerous anticipation that always follows him. Hardin steps forward, calm and commanding, his presence filling the room. Every eye is on him, and I feel the weight of the coming week pressing down like a storm on the horizon. Grandma’s eyes light up, and she immediately rises from her seat to welcome him. “Oh, you’re here! How lovely!” she says, her smile warm and inviting. Hardin inclines his head slightly, a rare, almost soft smile touching his lips. “I missed the family lunch," he says smoothly, his voice calm but carrying that undeniable presence that makes everyone sit up straighter. Grandma, ever the gracious hostess, volunteers, “I can make some more soup for you, you will like it.” He shakes his head gently. "I don’t want to stress you out, Grandma. Next time,” he replies. I glance at him sharply, thinking under my
MY WILD OBSESSION Chapter seventeen
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN I sink into the plush chair, letting the soft fabric caress me, while Cassie and Sofia flit around the boutique like butterflies, holding up gowns and draping fabric with precision. Each dress is stunning, flowing silk, delicate lace, shimmering embellishments but for a bride like me, for someone who’s pretending to be happy, they feel almost unreal. I pick up a gown they bring me, running my fingers lightly over the satin, and for a moment, my vision blurs, and a single tear escapes, sliding down my cheek. I quickly brush it away with the back of my hand, forcing a smile. No one needs to know. They don’t need my shadow of worry today. Cassie notices and leans down, her voice warm and teasing. “Aww, Amelia… that’s tears of joy, right? Seeing these beautiful wedding dresses?” I nod, smile bright, and give her a little squeeze on the arm. “Absolutely. Overwhelmed. Totally emotional,” I lie, letting the truth stay locked away behind my practiced grin. They con
MY WILD OBSESSION Chapter sixteen
CHAPTER SIXTEEN The bouncers in the club, moving through the crowd with quiet efficiency, confiscating every single phone that dared record. In an instant, every witness becomes invisible. No evidence. No leaks.I swallow hard, the adrenaline and unease coiling tighter in my chest. Cassie is laughing nervously beside me, still shaken but trying to act nonchalant.I nudge her lightly. “We should leave. Now.”She follows my gaze, understanding instantly. “Yeah… yeah, I get it,” she mutters, her eyes wide as she glances around.We slip through the crowd, the music still pounding in our ears. I feel the stranger’s presence from before lingering in my skin, the heat of what could have been mingling with the fear that runs deeper than I want to admit. The club that felt good moments ago now feels suffocating, claustrophobic, like a trap I almost danced into.Outside, the cool night air hits me like a relief. I take a deep breath, letting it fill my lungs. Cassie shivers
MY WILD OBSESSION Chapter fifteen
CHAPTER FIFTEEN We step out of the cab and into the neon-lit chaos of the club. The bass of the music hits my chest like a wave, each beat vibrating through the floor and into my bones. Cassie grabs my hand immediately, dragging me toward the dance floor with the energy of someone possessed. Her laughter is loud, electric, and contagious, and for a moment I let myself forget everything.For a few glorious minutes, I feel free. Alive. Not Amelia Jones the target, not Amelia Jones the fiancée of a ruthless man but just Amelia, dancing and singing along to every song, letting the rhythm clear her worries.Cassie, of course, is in her element, cigarette balanced expertly between her fingers as she sways with the beat, laughing too loudly, spinning around like no one can see her. She’s intoxicating, and I realize I’ve missed this, the raw, unfiltered energy of a friend who doesn’t care about the world for a few hours.I glance around, spotting a cluster of familiar club r
MY WILD OBSESSION Chapter fourteen
CHAPTER FOURTEEN I head upstairs to change into my gym wear, tying my hair into a high ponytail. Before I leave, I tell Sofia, “Make yourself comfortable. I won’t be long.”She nods enthusiastically, already buried in emails and analytics.I grab my keys and drive to the gym.The moment I step inside, I slip into my routine, stretching, warming up, letting the burn settle into my muscles. But the place feels different today. New faces. Too many eyes lingering a bit too long.A sharp chill moves through me.God, I hope Hardin didn’t station his men here too.The last thing I need is bodyguards hidden behind treadmills.Still… the feeling on my skin isn’t the usual stiff surveillance. It’s warmer.Hungrier.My gaze flicks up and I see him. A ridiculously hot guy by the weights, watching me with interest he isn’t even trying to hide.Under normal circumstances?I would’ve walked out of here with him wrapped around my finger before sunset.But not now.Not when someone
