Leo’s POV

“Well , would you just stand there watching me like I’m some kind of stranger?” Sophie asked, maybe totally amused that I hadn’t hugged her yet.

“Can we…can we talk upstairs?” I asked, leading her past the now impatient gateman.

She followed me inside without hesitation, so informally that I remembered of course, we had dated for 7 years. She knew every nook and cranny of the house and every nook and cranny of me too.

  • OBSESSIVELY HIS.    Chapter 14: Old love.

    Leo’s POV “Well , would you just stand there watching me like I’m some kind of stranger?” Sophie asked, maybe totally amused that I hadn’t hugged her yet. “Can we…can we talk upstairs?” I asked, leading her past the now impatient gateman. She followed me inside without hesitation, so informally that I remembered of course, we had dated for 7 years. She knew every nook and cranny of the house and every nook and cranny of me too. I led her to the sitting room and sat down, about to start talking, not even realizing she was still standing up. “What are you doing?” She asked, a question so odd I started to wonder what she was talking about. “Look Sophie,…” I began. “I understand you feel as though I didn’t miss you, I… “No, not that”, she interrupted. “I mean, why are we in the sitting room? Am I some kind of stranger?” Right. She hasn’t changed. In the past, she hated it when someone made her feel insignificant, especially when it was coming from me. I hesitated

  • OBSESSIVELY HIS.    Chapter 13: My first love.

    Leo’s POV But I wasn’t done with him yet. My eyes moved to the front cover of his file where his name was written. “Reide,…you were born in Africa?” He didn’t flinch at the question but his lips pressed against each other, a little tighter than it should normally be. “My mother was African, my father was American” “Was?” I asked. “Yes sir…they are both dead.” I nodded. Well, should I have apologized before? Yh, maybe. “So sorry for that.” I said, standing up from my desk and shaking his hands. “We’ll communicate with all of you before next week.” “Alright sir, thank you sir” and with that, he walked out with the same composure he came in with. After two more candidates came in and left, a knock came before the door opened. “Sir,” Charles said as he stepped in, his posture straight as always. “That was the last of them.” “Did you look into Reide’s file?” I asked, picking up the file and glancing through its pages again. Charles stepped further into the room, c

  • OBSESSIVELY HIS.    Chapter 12: NEXT.

    Leo’s POV My fingers tapped impatiently at the desk in front of me. My father’s voice still rang in my ears. Not that I wasn’t already used to his summons but I hated the fact that the whole family would be present. Another memory crept in through fragments: the curve of her intoxicating smile under the dim hotel room light, the quiet confidence in the way she had looked at me, as if she already knew how the night would end. I adjusted my cufflinks, jaw tightening. It meant nothing. Women like her—no, women in general—were interruptions from a life that demanded precision. She surely was no different. Just that morning, she had been reduced to the same category as the others. A closed chapter. Nothing special. “Sir?” My eyes snapped to the glass door of my office. It slid open smoothly, revealing Charles, holding a tablet in one hand and an expression that was always just slightly too amused for someone in his position. “They’re ready,” he said, stepping in. “Or at

  • OBSESSIVELY HIS.    Chapter 11: I couldn’t break his gaze.

    Tessa’s POV You know, I don’t think people talk enough about how frustrating it is to come back from a long, stressful day that didn’t even feel productive, only to fall asleep without meaning to… and then wake up the next morning remembering you actually have somewhere important to be. That was me. The sunlight pushed through my worn-out curtains and landed right on my face, dragging me out of sleep whether I liked it or not. I squinted, turning slightly, but it didn’t help. The light was already too bright. Already morning?. I looked at my table clock. 12:59pm?!! My body still felt heavy as I laid there for a few seconds, trying to gather myself. That was when I noticed it. I was still wearing yesterday’s clothes. I sat up slowly, blinking a few times as the memory of the previous day came rushing back all at once. “Damn… how did I even sleep like that?” I rubbed my face and let out a small breath before dragging myself off the bed and to the bathroom. I did a quick la

  • OBSESSIVELY HIS.    Chapter 10: Holding on, quietly.

    Tessa’s POV I wiped my hand lightly on my dress before answering. “Hello?” “Tessa,” her voice came in, calm and direct as always. “Good afternoon.” “Good afternoon, ma.” “I’m calling from Crestwood Estate,” she continued. “About the bartender position you applied for.” My back straightened without me realizing it. “Yes, ma.” “You passed the physical assessment,” she said. “We would like you to come in tomorrow by 3 p.m. You’ll be meeting with others who also qualified.” For a moment, I didn’t say anything. The words settled slowly, like they needed time to make sense. “I… okay, ma. I’ll be there.” “Good,” she said. “Don’t be late.” “I won’t.” The call ended shortly after. I kept holding the phone for a few seconds, staring at nothing in particular. Then I placed it beside me on the bed and leaned back. A job. Finally. It was indeed a weird job for a young girl in her early twenties but it was something that could actually change things, even if it was just a little.

  • OBSESSIVELY HIS.    Chapter 9: People do leave easily.

    Tessa’s POV I stepped out of the hotel without looking back. The air outside felt cooler against my skin, and for a moment, I just stood there, adjusting my bag on my shoulder as the street carried on around me. A man brushed past me in a hurry, his shoulder knocking lightly against mine. “Sorry,” he said quickly, already moving on. I didn’t care. I raised my hand as a couple of taxis rode past me before one pulled over after a few seconds. I slid into the cab, shutting the door behind me as I leaned back into the street. “Flech Street”. The driver nodded, about to move, but I spoke again. “Take the longer route,” I added. “I’ll pay more.” He glanced at me through the mirror, surprised. “That will take about thirty minutes. And it will cost extra.” “No problem,” I replied. He gave a small nod and pulled into the road. The car moved at a steady pace, blending into traffic. I rested my head against the seat and looked out the window, watching the city pass by. My

  • OBSESSIVELY HIS.    Chapter 8: Fragmented memories.

    Tessa’s POV I woke up with a strange feeling sitting heavily in my body. For a moment, I didn’t open my eyes. My head throbbed faintly, the kind that comes from drinking too much, and there was this warmth in my limbs, mixed with a dull soreness I couldn’t specifically name. It felt like my body

  • OBSESSIVELY HIS.    Chapter 7: Damn!, that sexy ass.

    Leo’s POV. Tessa reached down and gently moved my hands aside, noticing the hesitation in my fingers. Her touch lingered just a second longer than necessary, and I felt a shiver run down my spine. She loosened the knot carefully, letting the fabric slip slowly off her shoulders. For a moment, she

  • OBSESSIVELY HIS.    CHAPTER 6: Duty against desire

    CHAPTER 6 LEO’s POV Duty against desire. The room felt smaller after she pulled the strap down. Not because of that action but maybe because of the silence that followed. Water still clung to her skin, tracing slow paths along her collarbone before disappearing beneath the thin fabric. T

  • OBSESSIVELY HIS.    CHAPTER 5

    Leo’s pov I was getting hard. I didn’t expect anyone to be in my room. Back in the bar, I was sure I had misplaced my keys somewhere while calling my secretary to know the reason why he would book a hotel room that was out of class. Like, why would a hotel have a crazy venue for a club downst
