Scarlet Obsession [BL] Chapter 42-Choices
Dex drummed his fingers slowly on the polished surface of the conference table, barely paying attention to the presentation Elena was giving. She stood by the board across from him, with perfect posture, her tablet in hand as she read through a list of upcoming deals and logistics in a flat, monotone voice. Her tone was professional and almost robotic, as always, but Dex could feel the distance between them like a wall. They hadn’t been back to their old ways since the incident. She was still acting strangely distant, quieter than usual, avoiding eye contact, speaking only when necessary. He hadn’t confronted her about setting up the meeting with Julian yet. He was saving that for the right moment, letting the tension simmer. He knew she was waiting for him to bring it up, which kept her on edge. And honestly, that small bit of control felt good amid the chaos. But none of that really bothered him right now. What truly gnawed at him was Elian. True, Elian had come back to the pen
Scarlet Obsession [BL] Chapter 41-Pick Your Poison
Julian tried to keep his face neutral, even as the ropes dug into his wrists and the single bulb above his head made his eyes sting. He wasn’t going to give Elian the satisfaction of seeing fear. At least not yet, cause he wasn't going to lie, he didn't know what Elian had in store for him and he didn't know how long he was going to last. He shrugged as best as he could in his tied-up position. “I don’t know,” he said, voice steady. “How about you tell me what you’re going to do with me?”The words barely left his mouth before Elian’s fist slammed into the side of his face.Julian’s head snapped to the side with a sharp crack. Pain exploded across his cheekbone and he groaned, tasting blood in his mouth as he tried to catch his breath. Before he could recover, Elian grabbed his jaw forcefully, yanking his face back around so they were eye to eye.“You’re such a pathetic piece of garbage, you know that?” Elian sneered. His fingers dug into Julian’s jaw hard enough to bruise.Julian me
Scarlet Obsession [BL] Chapter 40-Trap Within a Trap
“Boss, he hasn’t come out yet. There's still no sight of him.”The voice crackled through the small earpiece Julian had in his right ear. He sat in the driver’s seat of his black SUV, parked in a shady corner across the street from the nondescript building. The evening sun was starting to dip lower, casting long shadows over the quiet street. But all that didn't move Julian the slightest bit, he had been sitting here for hours, fingers tapping impatiently on the steering wheel.He pressed the button on the small device and spoke into it with a low voice. “What about the front and back exits? Are they covered?”“Yes, sir,” the man on the other end replied quickly. “We have eyes on both. Two men on the front, three on the back. But there's still movement, so we believe he’s still inside.”Julian leaned back in his seat, clenching his jaw tightly. His eyes narrowed as he stared at the building through the tinted windows. Four hours. It had been almost four hours since Elian walked in t
Scarlet Obsession [BL] Chapter 39-Home Again
Unbeknownst to Dex, who's ex and PA were busy doing something crazy and utterly stupid behind his back, he paced back and forth across the living room of the penthouse, the city lights glittering through the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him. His mind was raging, full of thoughts that refused to go, most especially Elian. Ever since he had thrown the word “divorce” at him like a grenade, Dex had not been himself. All day the word has been repeating in his head like a mantra. Divorce, divorce, divorce, divorce, divorce… Divorce??Why the fuck would Elian even think of that in the first place? He couldn’t let Elian leave. Not when everything he had been planning depended on Elian staying tied to him. He believed Elian didn't know the dangers of him deciding to separate, maybe that was why he was looking for the contract…But then Elian had said he didn’t want the divorce anymore… because Julian was back in the picture. The thought made Dex’s blood boil with a sick mix of jealousy and
Scarlet Obsession [BL] Chapter 38-Late Night Deals(18+)
Elena stood outside the sleek apartment door, arms wrapped tightly around herself as she glanced over her shoulder one more time. She raised her hand and knocked sharply on the door. And a few seconds later, the door opened. Julian stood there, shirtless, a cigarette hanging lazily between his lips. His sandy blond hair was slightly messy, and the low lighting highlighted the defined lines of his chest and shoulders. He looked completely at ease, unlike Elena who looked like she was going to burst out of nervousness. “Took you long enough,” Julian said, voice low and slightly amused. “I’ve been expecting you all day.” He turned and walked back inside, leaving the door open for her. Elena rolled her eyes and stepped in, closing the door behind her. “Took you longer. I’ve been standing out here freezing my ass off waiting for you to open the damn door.” Julian didn’t reply. He just took a slow drag from the cigarette and dropped onto the couch, legs spread casually. Elena stood
Scarlet Obsession [BL] Chapter 37-Cold Calculations
Dex stormed after Elian down the hallway, his longer strides eating up the distance between them.“Elian!” he called. “Elian, stop!”Elian didn’t not stop, he didn't even slow down, he kept walking, black boots echoing sharply against the floor.Dex cursed under his breath and sped up. “Elian, damn it, talk to me!”He reached out and grabbed Elian’s arm just as they turned the corner into Dex’s private office. Elian tried to yank away, but Dex held firm and pulled him inside, shutting the door behind them with a loud click.The moment the door closed behind them, Dex slammed Elian against it, pushing against him and standing his face, breathing hard.Elian glared at him hard. “Move.”“You just got back here, after disappearing for days, now you're leaving again to God knows where? Where the hell are you going?” Dex demanded. “Instead of answering the question, Elian only asked bluntly. “Where are the files?”Dex blinked, caught off guard. “What files?”Elian’s eyes were cold and irri
Scarlet Obsession [BL] Chapter 24-Before the Storm(18+)
The Grand suite was quiet except for the sound of running water… and low hums of pleasure. They had been at it since morning, rough and angry at first, then a little less after Dex had made sure to to let Elian know who he truly belonged to. Elian’s body was sore, covered in bites and fingerprints
Scarlet Obsession [BL] Chapter 22-Sharp Edges
Dex stood a few feet away, watching the entire thing with dark, burning eyes, his jaw clenched so hard it hurt. The jealousy hit him like a punch to the gut, seeing Elian smile like that, run to another man and light up so easily, made something ugly and violent twist inside him. Elena stopped be

It was well past midnight.The lights in the restaurant were dimmed to a warm, golden glow. Soft jazz played faintly in the background. Expensive wine and plates of delicacies sat in front of them on the table set for two.They were in one of Dex's most exclusive Italian restaurant. The doctor’s v
Scarlet Obsession [BL] Chapter 15-The Gambit
Three hours earlier When Dex entered Jacob Virelli’s private office, the old man was already waiting for him, seated behind his massive desk like a king on a throne, a glass of aged wine in his hand. Jacob didn’t look surprised to see him. If anything, a faint, calculating smile played on his wri
