Ivy waited two days before returning to the hospital.

Not because she wanted to.

Because she had to.

The penthouse was watching her now.

Every movement.

Every visit.

Every excuse.

After the confrontation over the photograph, Sebastian had become quieter.

Which somehow felt worse.

At least when he argued, she knew where she stood.

Now he watched.

Observed.

Waited.

As if he knew she was planning something.

As if he was waiting for her to make a mistake.

Unfortunately for him, she was getting bett

  • Owned By The Enemy    Chapter 69

    Ivy waited two days before returning to the hospital.Not because she wanted to.Because she had to.The penthouse was watching her now.Every movement.Every visit.Every excuse.After the confrontation over the photograph, Sebastian had become quieter.Which somehow felt worse.At least when he argued, she knew where she stood.Now he watched.Observed.Waited.As if he knew she was planning something.As if he was waiting for her to make a mistake.Unfortunately for him, she was getting better at hiding things.The opportunity came on a rainy Thursday afternoon.Lucien was in a meeting.Jaxon was buried in security reports.Sebastian had left the penthouse for the first time in days.And Rafael...Rafael was nowhere to be found.Again.The realization bothered her more than she wanted to admit.Lately he seemed to disappear at the strangest times.Always with an explanation.Never with enough detail.The hospital visit itself was routine.Emily was awake.Alert.Recovering.For alm

    The atmosphere inside the penthouse changed after the photograph.Nobody said it out loud.Nobody needed to.The tension followed everyone from room to room like a shadow.For the first time since arriving, Ivy noticed the cracks.Not in the building.In them.The four men who always seemed united suddenly weren't.Conversations stopped when she entered.Arguments started behind closed doors.And Sebastian looked like a man carrying the weight of an approaching disaster.Which only made her angrier.Because if he had answers, he still wasn't giving them.Three days passed.Three days of silence.Three days of avoiding Sebastian.Three days of replaying that photograph over and over in her mind.By the fourth morning, Ivy was exhausted.Not physically.Emotionally.She sat alone in the library, pretending to read while her thoughts spiraled.The accident.Emily.Her father.Sebastian.Nothing fit together.Every answer seemed to create three new questions.The sound of footsteps pulled

    Nobody spoke.The photograph remained on the table between them like a live grenade.Ivy stood rigidly across from Sebastian, her heart pounding so hard she could hear it.For days she had doubted.Wondered.Questioned.Now she wanted answers.And for once, she wasn't backing down."Well?" she asked.Sebastian's gaze remained fixed on the photograph.Rain hammered against the windows behind him.The storm outside had finally reached the city.Inside the penthouse, another storm was gathering."You followed the guards."It wasn't a question.Ivy laughed bitterly."That's your concern right now?"His jaw tightened."You left without authorization.""There it is."She threw her hands into the air."Every single time.""Ivy—""No."Her voice cracked through the room."Answer the question."Silence followed.Lucien looked away.Jaxon rubbed a hand across his face.Even Rafael seemed uncomfortable.That alone told her everything she needed to know.Because they all knew something.And none

    Ivy spent the entire night staring at the message.By morning, it still hadn't disappeared.You need to know what really happened to Emily.The words sat heavily in her chest.She should have shown Sebastian.Or Jaxon.Or anyone.Instead, she deleted the notification and memorized every letter.Because deep down, she already knew what they would say.It's a trap.The problem was that it might also be the truth.And right now, truth felt far more dangerous.Breakfast was unusually quiet.Lucien was on a call.Jaxon sat behind a tablet reviewing security reports.Sebastian hadn't arrived yet.Only Rafael seemed relaxed.At least on the surface.Ivy watched him over her coffee.He noticed immediately."You're staring.""You're suspicious."Rafael chuckled."Those aren't the same thing.""Maybe they should be."His smile faded slightly.Not much.Just enough for her to notice.There it was again.That feeling.The sense that he was carrying secrets heavier than everyone else's.Before she

    The lockdown lasted three days before Ivy stopped pretending it was temporary.The guards remained.The restricted access remained.The cameras remained.Every morning she woke hoping something would be different.Every morning it wasn't.By the fourth day, she had stopped asking questions.That worried Sebastian more than her anger ever had.Anger meant she was still fighting him.Silence meant she was planning something.Unfortunately for him, she was.Ivy sat in the lounge, a book open in her lap and completely unread. Beyond the glass walls, a storm rolled over the city, dark clouds swallowing the afternoon skyline.The penthouse felt smaller lately.Not physically.Emotionally.Every conversation seemed guarded.Every glance carried meaning.Everyone was hiding something.The only question was who was hiding the most.She heard footsteps approaching and looked up.Jaxon.A tablet tucked beneath one arm.Coffee in his other hand.He stopped near the sofa."You haven't turned a pag

    The penthouse felt different the next morning.Not louder.Not quieter.Different.Like the walls themselves had shifted overnight.Ivy noticed it immediately.The guard stationed outside her door wasn't one she recognized.When she stepped into the hallway, another stood near the elevator.Armed.Watching.Waiting.Her stomach tightened."Seriously?"The guard didn't answer.He didn't even look at her.That somehow made it worse.By breakfast, she'd counted six new security personnel.Six.Inside the penthouse.Not downstairs.Not in the building.Inside.The message was impossible to miss.Sebastian wasn't taking chances anymore.Ivy found him standing near the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city.He looked as composed as ever.Dark suit.Perfect posture.Cold control.As if he hadn't turned the penthouse into a fortress overnight."As much as I enjoy feeling like a prisoner," she said dryly, "this is getting ridiculous."Sebastian didn't turn around immediately."The brea

    The morning light crept through the thin blinds, casting narrow stripes across the polished floor. Ivy Harper sat on the edge of the bed, arms wrapped tightly around herself, as though the motion alone could hold her together. The night had been long, unrelenting, and each memory pressed against he

    The city never slept, but inside the penthouse the silence felt deliberate — chosen, controlled, suffocating.Ivy stood near the glass wall, arms folded tight across her stomach as if holding herself together. Below, headlights crawled through the streets like veins of white fire. She had counted t

    The penthouse felt different.Not quieter in a peaceful way — quieter like something fragile had cracked and everyone was pretending not to see it. The city stretched endlessly beyond the glass walls, lights flickering like distant stars, but inside the room the air carried a tension that refused t

  • Owned By The Enemy    Chapter 7

    The room was dark.Not the comforting kind—no shadows to hide in, no corners untouched. Just controlled dimness, calibrated to blur edges and sharpen sensation.Sebastian stood near the bed.Ivy stood frozen at the center of the room.No one spoke.Rafael closed the door.The sound echoed louder th
