Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey I'll help you find him
STEIN Kai returned to the sitting room after tucking our son in for the night. The moment he sat down, I placed my head on his thighs and got comfortable.“What are you watching?”“I don't know.” I stared at his face. “Are you really adapting well to work?”“Hmm.” He ran his fingers through my hair. “Why? Would you return to work tomorrow if I told you otherwise?”"Of course! I don't want anything stressing you." He smiled but didn't say anything.For a minute, none of us spoke. Kai kept his focus on the movie on the TV while I tried to think of a way to ask my question without spilling everything. Mary called me this afternoon to inform me about his request to file a missing person's report for Edward. Before that, I'd received a call from Scorpion. He finally got Edward to spill and had deleted all the information he got. Scorpion said he had files—emails and some financial records —but nothing concrete yet. But enough to make Kai suspicious if he'd seen it.With the documents d
Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey Filing a report
KAIEdward's missing. I've been trying his number for almost two weeks and haven't been able to reach him. We were supposed to meet two weeks ago, but I was too occupied with taking care of Stein in the hospital to honour the appointment. We hadn't spoken since that funeral day.I looked up from the laptop when I heard a knock at the door. “Come on.” Mary poked her head in and smiled. “Good afternoon,” she greeted as she stepped in and closed the door gently behind her. Even though I didn't like her, I couldn't deny how efficient she was. A few days of working with her showed me exactly why Stein kept her around. She reminded me so much of Edward. Speaking of Edward…“Sir, you call me?”“Yes.” I reached for a file. “I need you to send this to the ad director and the general manager. Also, there's something I need you to do for me.”She reached for the Manila envelope. “What's it, sir?”“I need you to file a missing person case for me.”I'd have done that, but I was choked to the ne
Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey Regrets?
STEINIt worked. Mary was about to go home because it was late when she saw Kai walking down the hallway. An idea came to my mind the moment she turned back to tell me my husband was coming. I laughed loud enough for the sound to reach the hallway even though there was nothing funny. When the door slammed open and Kai's face appeared flushed and furious, I knew the hook was set.I guess it helped a lot. Kai started treating me better than usual. His kisses on my cheeks every morning weren't forced anymore. And he actually took over my work. He worked from the hospital, claiming he wouldn't concentrate well if he left me with Lukas. Talking about Lukas, we agreed over the next few days to enrol him in kindergarten. With Kai returning to work, and me incapacitated, he would be lonely at home. I suggested it casually over breakfast, framing it as being best for Lukas. Kai agreed immediately because he was relieved to have one less thing to worry about. I was relieved to have one less c
Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey Feeling petty
I returned to the hospital after preparing dinner. I wasn't trying to think of Leon, but my mind didn't seem to know I wanted to forget about it. And each time I remembered that I didn't have a part in my father's will, my heart would squeeze dangerously. If only Leon hadn't died foolishly, I would have sought him out with the anger brewing in me, to give him a piece of my mind.Nearer to Stein's hospital room, I paused when I heard his laughter. I froze on my steps. Stein's actually laughing? I'd never heard him laugh out loud like that before. Frowning, I walked forward and looked into the room through the glass on the door. Stein was sitting up, with Lukas sleeping soundly, with his head on Stein's thighs. Mary was sitting on a chair, laughing with Stein over something only they knew. My stomach twisted the more I watched them. Stein looked so happy and free with her.Unconsciously, I tightened my hand on the bag that contained our dinner and gritted my teeth so hard I almost sna
Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey Excluded
KAII tried so hard to be a loving husband. It wasn't easy at first. I had to remember to smile at him and to kiss him any chance I got. Oddly enough, the more I did it, the more it felt natural. I even started thinking of it in the same way I did with Lukas. Still, despite all the care I gave him, he slipped in the bathroom on Wednesday night. I'd just gone into the room to get a towel because I forgot to take one with me when he slipped and fell. And he had to fucking fall on his injured side. I rushed him to the hospital that night, and he was admitted after I got an earful from the doctor, who kept asking why I left him alone in the bathroom knowing he wasn't fit. Stein defended me as much as he could, but I felt the doctor was right. If I had been careful enough, he wouldn't have returned to the hospital a few days after leaving it. With Stein hospitalised, I had to handle the funeral. Overseeing two funerals wasn't easy. I had to leave Lukas at the hospital with Mary, who ca
Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey Making peace with Lukas
Just like he promised, Kai did something he had never done before. I was sitting on the couch when he woke up. Yawning, he walked into the sitting room, stretching. “Good morning.” I smiled at him.He smiled and walked over to me. He wrapped his hands around my neck and placed a kiss on my right cheek. I froze at the touch, stunned by that. Kai had never been this proactive. “What's wrong?” He frowned. “I just…” Blinking, I swallowed. “You kissed me?”“And?” He removed his hands from my neck and walked around the couch. “Is there anything wrong with that?” He took the throw pillow and placed it on his thighs as he sat next to me.“You haven't done that before.” He raised a brow. “I haven't?” I shook my head. The frown on his face turned into a smile. “Then you need to start getting used to it because from now on, I'll be kissing you good morning.”He was trying. He was acting the part of a loving husband, and I didn't care whether it was real as long as he kept playing it.My li
Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey His Stalker
STEINThe night masked me as I watched him, hidden in a corner, my camera ready to take more pictures. He was just as cute as always, dressed in a custom-made suit, his hair slicked back, and his strides long and precise. I'd watched him get ready. The way the water cascaded down his naked back as
Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey Prologue
KAIHis mouth found mine, stealing the questions on the tip of my tongue. Stein's hands were in my hair and on my jaw. He cupped my face like he was afraid I'd disappear if he let go. I didn't care. I kissed him back, and my fingers twisted in his collar to pull him closer. The taste of him flooded

KAI“This is all, sir,” Edward said as he placed the files I asked for on my desk. “I also spoke with Mr Elliot Marshall, and he agreed to the meeting tonight. I booked a table for two at your favourite restaurant.”“Good.”I picked the first file from the pile. “And the Schmidt? Did you investigat
Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey Does he like me?
KAIThe rest of the week went by in a blur. By the time Friday knocked on my door, I was drained. I'd stayed awake two nights, thinking of the bloody truce marriage and how to get the fuck out of it. I wasn't like Dad, who thought we needed this. We don't. We have been surviving all these years wit
