STEIN

The moment I disconnected, I focused on my stepmother.

“So? What's wrong with your husband?” She asked, giving me that look of disdain I hated the most.

“None of your business.” I threw my phone on my desk before I sat down. “I'll work on getting Jonas out before 7. You don't need to worry about him,” I lied, while keeping a pleasant look on my face.

I'd be damned if I'd help him. But she didn't have to know at all. She gave me a suspicious look before she let out a sigh. “Let me know

  • Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey   The easy way out

    I got up. “Who died?” I balanced Lukas in my arms. My heart started beating so fast as I walked over to him. He raised his hand. “Oh, I see. Thanks for letting me know,” he said before he disconnected. He looked at me and drew a step back. “They…” He took in a breath. “What's going on?” I asked, trying not to sound desperate and scared. His expression was scaring me. “Who died? What did Mary tell you?”I knew it was likely Mary who called, since she was the only one he always spoke to. He shook his head. “They…” He balled his hands into a fist. “Fuck!” He turned and hit his fist on the sink. The used plates rattled. Gulping, I walked over to him and placed my hand on his left shoulder. “What's going on? Please tell me, Stein. Who died? Why are you —”“Our fathers,” he dropped the bombshell. I drew a step back. “Wh… What did you say?” I gripped Lukas so tight, he yelped. “Sorry, baby.” I placed him on his feet. “You're lying, right?”He shook his head. “They're dead. Both committe

  • Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey   How did they die?

    He didn't tell me what he meant by his words. When I asked, he only exhaled and told me he needed to rest. I followed him into our room, where he had his bath, and went straight to bed. The second he fell flat on the bed, he dozed off. He must have been dead tired. I stared at him for a few seconds, wondering what was going on. You don't look like you had a gang fight if you only went to work. It doesn't work that way unless there was strife. I reached for his phone, which he kept on the bedside table, and swiped it. I knew he likely locked it, and I wasn't wrong. Since he used a PIN lock, I tried his birthdate, but it didn't work. I tried mine, then Lukas', but none worked. I even tried random numbers until I got that 'try again in 30 seconds' order.Stein didn't activate his fingerprint, so there was no way for me to unlock it with his fingerprints. It was my first time seeing someone who only had a PIN lock for a phone you can unlock with both your face and your fingerprint. Fr

  • Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey   It's done

    KAI“Why do you have cameras in and outside the house?” I asked after a walk around the building and a visit to the garden. We spent almost an hour at the back, just looking at the various flowers. I didn't even know there was an awesome garden out there; otherwise, I would have camped out there most evenings. “For security purposes,” he responded, adjusting Lukas in his arms. He didn't let me carry Lukas because he claimed he was heavy and didn't want me to stress myself by carrying him. I had rolled my eyes when he said that. Most times, Stein treats me like a damsel in distress.“Even inside the house?”I'd always wondered why there were cameras everywhere you looked. Thankfully, there were none in the room. I checked. If there were, I would have flipped. “Hmm.” He started for the front door. “Let's take another walk tomorrow, okay?”“It's a date.”He turned back at that and smiled. “You know, we haven't really gone out on an actual date before.”I frowned. “But we've eaten —”

  • Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey   Find him

    STEIN “You need to find him!” I gritted out, stabbing the cutting board with a knife. “How the hell did he slip past you? I only gave you one fucking job, Scorpion. Keep him in the hospital and away from Kai!”“I… I'm sorry, boss,” he stuttered. “I really didn't expect him to escape. I had him —”“Find him. I don't care if you tear the entire city apart. Find him!” “I will, boss.”“You have until Sunday before we return. I don't want them to meet, ever!” I rubbed my hand on my forehead. Scorpion really knew how to get on my nerves.“Should we silence him for good, boss?”“No.” I puffed out a breath and walked over to the kitchen island. Leaning on it, I tried to regulate my breathing. “Don't hurt him. You can keep him in a coma until I sort things out with Kai. Until then, I don't need anyone spoiling my business.”“On it, boss.”“I expect good news soon!” I disconnected.Fuck Scorpion and his clumsy ways. I only asked him to stake out at the fucking hospital and make sure Edward do

  • Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey   Is it Stein?

    KAI“We're going home on Sunday.”They were the first words I heard when I opened my eyes. Blinking, I stared at Stein, who was looking at me. “Good morning,” I muttered and sat up on the bed. Yawning, I stretched before glancing at him. I rubbed my fingers in my eyes, frowning. When did he return to the room? I was awake until midnight. Did he sneak in when I was asleep so I wouldn't jump his bones? I didn't ask him that; instead, I chose to talk about the present. “What did you just say?”I really didn't quite catch his words even though I heard Sunday and home.He sat up on the bed. “I'll take you and Lukas home on Sunday. I'm sorry, but I don't think you'll be present for your dad's hearing. I'll have Mary —”“Thank you!” I hugged him. He stiffened at my touch before he relaxed. “You don't have to thank me.” He rubbed my back gently. “I understand your need to return home. We've stayed away from home for almost two weeks now.”“True.”We hadn't gone home since that day we went t

  • Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey   Guilty pleasure

    The guilt twisted in my gut, sharp and familiar, but I didn't pull away. I didn't stop watching. My hand kept moving faster now, the heat building in my groin, my cock aching for the release I knew I wouldn't give it yet. Kai's hand moved back down to his cock. He wrapped his fingers around it. His eyes were closed, his lips wet and his face the picture of desperate need. My fist tightened around my cock, and the convulsive squeeze sent a jolt of pleasure through me. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't move. I just stared at the screen as Kai's hand moved again and his mouth opened as he moaned shamelessly. The video continued to play, but I was frozen, caught at the moment.I watched his hand slide up and down his shaft, the motion smooth and practised, and I remembered the weight of him on my tongue, the way he'd gasped when I'd pushed deep, and the way his hips had bucked when I'd held his head down and made him take it. I started stroking myself again, harder this time. My breath ca

    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

    KAIOnce again, I woke up to that depressing sight of cum sticking to my body. As if that weren't bad enough, there were also stains on the floor, and my reading desk, which I could have sworn was by my table, was in front of my bed, as if I had sat there before retiring to bed. The worst? I couldn

    STEIN“I think it's time for you to settle down, Stein,” Dad said, his sharp voice cutting through the phone the second I took his call. “You're 25, and that's old enough to have a family. Your mother and I have found the perfect partner for you. We have a family dinner with them on Friday, and I n
