THE DON'S SECRET OBSESSION (His Bride, Her Prison) 113
CHAPTER 113Dermos’s POVI felt a whole new wave of pain, but this one wasn't just in my ribs, it wasn't just my body…This pain sunk into me, burying itself through everything.I stared at the ceiling for a couple of minutes, not sure how to move as my breathing slowed through the tightness in my chest as the doctor’s words replayed in my head.Not just the warning. Not just the risk.But the part he didn’t soften. The part he didn’t try to dress up.“You might not get up again.”My hands gripped the sheets tighter as I shifted slightly—and instantly regretted it.Pain flared through my side, sharp enough to drag a low breath out of me as my body tensed against it.“I'm weak,” I whispered, and the words hit harder than the pain.I hated it. I pushed it down.“Not necessarily, your body just needs time,” the doctor said in an all too calm tone that was quickly getting on my nerves. “You can’t keep pushing it like this.”I didn’t respond, I didn’t even look at him.“If you do,” he cont

Chapter 112Ariel’s POVThe moment the words left my lips, my body grew stiff.My words hung heavily between us, echoing sharply in my head.I didn't plan on letting them out, at least not in this way. Nothing about the conversation I just had should have been told to anyone.Especially Dermos.Luciana didn’t respond immediately, she just stood there, staring at me like she was trying to see the meaning out of what I had just said.“What do you mean by that?” She asked finally, slower this time.Her voice had dropped far from what it was, far from the heavy tone she had used just few seconds ago.Even her hands lowered slowly from her chest.I swallowed, forcing myself to stay calm. “I mean exactly what I said. I needed answers.”“Answers from who?” She pressed, stepping closer. “Who have you been talking to, Ariel?”I exhaled softly, shaking my head. “It doesn’t matter who I spoke to.”Her brows pulled together instantly. “It matters.”“There were people,” I said instead, avoiding he

CHAPTER 111Ariel’s POVMy whole body ran cold, chills running down my spine at how close the voice was.My legs shook a bit and I felt my legs shaking without me moving them.“Hello?” I tried to speak out but my voice came out sharper than I intended.But nothing came back, just the sound of my own breathing.And as I tried turning to check things out myself,“Stop.”And my entire body locked up in place. The voice was clearer this time, and it didn’t sound human.It wasn’t just unfamiliar—it was off, distorted, more like something filtered through a machine.A voice changer, that had to be it.My heart slammed violently against my ribs as I instinctively tried to turn again.“Don’t.”The command came instantly again, cold and freezing everything in me.“Keep your eyes forward, Ariella,” he added and my stomach twisted at the name again.Ariella.Only two people in this city used that name for me.One is lying on a hospital bed, Dermos. And the other is laying asleep on her bed, Luci

Chapter 110 Ariel’s POVMy fingers hovered over the screen longer than they should have.The message stared back at me.You want to know how your father got shot?My chest felt tight again. Not like before, I wasn't panicking, I wasn't scared.I felt something deeper, something that went back years ago.I swallowed with my throat feeling dry, then typed slowly.Me: How?The moment I hit send, I wished I could take it back, shut the phone off and shove it away.But I didn't, I stared, waiting for a response I had been longing for a day like this.And to be fair, a part of me had always been waiting.The phone stayed silent in my hand, but my mind didn’t, wasn't here.The second I asked that question… I saw myself somewhere else, sometime far back.***I was small again, too small to understand anything that mattered.The sun had been bright that day, that part I remembered pretty well. Too bright. The kind that made everything feel safe even when it wasn’t.I was outside, barefooted

Chapter 109Ariel’s POVI tried again, and again, and again.Nothing. No word, no sound, no response. Nothing, right after nearly ruining my world.No call went through. Not to the number that just called me, not to Dermos.Again and again, nothing.My hand trembled as I pulled the phone away from my ear, staring at the screen like I could force it to change, like I could will it to connect just by needing it badly enough. My chest felt too tight, like the air around me had thickened, pressing in, suffocating me.“Pick up,” I whispered, already hitting the button.It rang.Once.Twice.Then silence. The line cut again.“No,” I whispered, and the word came out sharper this time as panic bled through. I started pacing without realizing it, my bare feet cold against the floor as my mind ran faster than my body could keep up with.He wasn’t picking up. Dermos wasn’t picking up.Something was wrong—something must have already gone too wrong.Luciana stood not too far off, but even she ha

Chapter 108Dermos’ POVDamn… I didn’t see that coming.The thought barely settled before the pain hit squarely, blinding everything.It tore through my side like a coal of fire, ripping the air straight out of my lungs as my body jerked back on instinct. My hand flew to my tummy, pressing hard against the wound, but it didn’t help.Nothing helped.A hot, warm liquid spread beneath my palm fast, soaking through my shirt and hands.“Ah—” The sound left me roughly broken as my knees gave out beneath me.I hit the ground hard, choking on air as for a long second, everything around me tilted.The sky above me blurred, spinning slightly as I struggled to breathe through the pain clawing its way deeper into my body. My fingers pressed harder against my side, but the blood kept slipping through them.Damn it.But what can I say, that was careless. Stupid, to be fair, I knew better than that.And through it all, a shadow fell over me.I didn’t need to look to know who it was, even as the pa

Chapter 58Dermos’ POVI ran a hand over my chin, carefully watching Carlos' reaction.I didn't know when I stopped spinning my chair, Carlos wasn't known to beat around words.I hope he hasn't changed, as his words still lingered in the air longer than I expected. And the pause afterwards didn't

Chapter 57Dermos' POV I could barely keep my fingers and eyes in one place as it fell on every moving thing around me.I was on high alert; this couldn't end any other way.And in about 30 minutes, I stepped out to the beautiful view of our offices.I walked in, offering nods, greetings, and wave

Chapter 56Dermos’s POVI felt at ease, at rest. I felt the walls around me crumbling fast with every touch.That was the extent to which Luciana's touch fought my resilience.Her fingers lingered on places that they should never have been in the first place.Her thumb from her other hand brushed o
