Gunfire erupts.

Loud. Relentless. Too close.

On the other side of the wall, her world is breaking apart—and I’m not there.

My hand slams against the panel.

Once.

Twice.

Hard enough to crack bone if it were weaker.

It doesn’t move.

“She asked you to leave,” my assistant’s voice cuts through the comms. “Sir, you need to fall back—”

“No.”

My grip tightens around the small metal key she forced into my hand.

Cold.

Important.

A message.

Not goodbye.

Never goodbye.

Footsteps echo behind me. My men are

  • My Possessive CEO (Can love conquer pain?)   Chapter 83

    The moment the door slams—something inside me breaks.Not loudly.Not visibly.But completely.The restraints tighten again, metal biting into bone, pressure designed to weaken, to control—to hold.Wrong.I pull.Slow at first.Testing.Measuring.Calculating.The chair groans beneath me.Not enough.I stop.Breathe once.Twice.Then I change approach.Force isn’t always the answer.Precision is.My gaze shifts across the room, mapping everything—angles, bolts, seams, stress points.They built this for containment.Which means they built it with limits.Everything has limits.Even this.“Sir?”My assistant’s voice cracks through the comm device still clipped to my collar. Faint. Distorted. But there.Good.They didn’t strip me of everything.“Status,” I say, calm.“Signal is unstable—we lost visual after the capture. We’re tracing internal frequencies now.”“Do it faster.”“Yes, sir.”A pause.Then—“Maria?”One word.Careful.Measured.I don’t answer immediately.Because the answer

    “Get up.”Cold water slams into my face.My eyes snap open—instantly alert—instantly calculating.Pain follows a second later. My head throbs. My vision blurs, then sharpens.I’m restrained.Wrists locked behind the chair. Ankles secured. Metal. Tight.Expected.I lift my head slowly.And then—I see her.Standing across the room.Unbound.Untouched.Alive.Relief hits first.Sharp. Immediate.Then something else replaces it.Because she’s not looking at me the same way.Her expression is calm.Too calm.Controlled.Wrong.“Maria.”Her name leaves my mouth low, steady.She doesn’t answer immediately.Instead, she watches me.Like she’s deciding something.Like she already has.“You’re awake,” she says quietly.Something in her tone—flat.Careful.Not the same.“Are you hurt?” I ask.A pause.Then a small shake of her head.“No.”Good.That’s all that matters.“Come here.”It’s not a request.It never is.She doesn’t move.My jaw tightens slightly.“Maria.”“Don’t,” she says softly.

    “Down!”The shout comes too late.The first bullet slams into the wall behind her—concrete shattering—dust exploding into the air.I move.Instinct. Speed. No hesitation.My arm wraps around her waist—pulling her hard against me—and we drop just as the second shot tears through the space where her head was.Gunfire erupts.Close. Violent. Controlled chaos.“They’re here!” someone shouts.“Take them both!”Both.Good.That means they still need her alive.I use that.Always use what the enemy won’t destroy.“Stay behind me,” I say low.Maria’s grip tightens against my shirt.“I don’t take orders,” she breathes.Another shot cracks past us.“Then stay alive,” I reply.That shuts her up.For now.I shift, dragging her toward the narrow bend in the corridor. The space works in our favor—tight angles, limited sightlines.Less room for them.More control for me.Three men push forward.Too confident.First mistake.I step out—fire once—clean.The first drops instantly.Second hesitate

My men are closing in, waiting for orders.I don’t turn.I don’t think.I act.“Seal every exit except internal routes,” I say sharply. “No one gets out without my approval.”“Yes, sir.”“And find me the blueprint for this sector. There’s a hidden system here.”“There always is,” my assistant mutters.Good.Then I’ll break it.I move.Fast.The corridor twists, turns, narrows. My mind maps everything as I go—angles, distances, possible intersections.There’s always another way.There has to be.Because sh

    “No—”The word tears out of me as her finger tightens on the trigger.The gun lifts.Her hand doesn’t shake.Her eyes don’t waver.Everything about her is still.Too still.“Maria, don’t—”The shot goes off.The sound cracks through the speakers—loud, violent, final.For a split second, the world stops.Then—the screen glitches.Cuts.Returns.She’s still standing.The gun slips from her fingers, clattering against the floor.She didn’t shoot herself.She shot the man behind her.My breath catches.The figure stumbles back into view, collapsing to his knees, blood spreading across his chest. His expression twists from confidence to shock.Maria doesn’t move.She just stands there, staring at him like she’s watching something distant… something meaningless.“You…” he coughs, struggling to breathe. “You wouldn’t—”“I warned you,” she says quietly.Her voice is empty.Colder than anything I’ve ever heard.“You don’t control me.”He lets out a broken laugh, choking on his own blood. “Yo

    “Don’t.”The word leaves my mouth the exact second her finger tightens on the trigger.For a heartbeat, everything holds.Her eyes lock onto mine. Not soft. Not broken. But not empty either.Then—Click.The sound is quiet. Almost insignificant.But it hits harder than a gunshot.No bullet.Silence crashes over the corridor.My men react instantly, weapons snapping up, tension surging through the air, but I don’t even glance at them.I don’t need to.I’m still looking at her.Maria lowers the gun slowly, her expression unreadable. There’s no panic, no surprise.She knew it wasn’t loaded.“You didn’t load it,” I say, my voice calm but edged.Her lips press together slightly. “Would you have moved if I did?”A dangerous question.“No.”The answer comes without hesitation.Because it’s the truth.Her gaze sharpens, something flickering deep within her eyes. Something buried. Something fighting to surface.Then it disappears.“You’re either very brave,” she says quietly, “or very stupid.”
