Damien Cross.

The stranger who'd claimed my virginity, who'd fucked me senseless for an entire weekend, was my boss. The CEO of Cross Enterprises...the man who'd built this empire from nothing, the ghost I'd never seen in three years of working here.

My knees give out, but I don't fall... I manage to steady myself using the back of the chair in front of his desk.

This can't be happening.

This cannot be happening.

My mind splintered into pieces: the wolf tattoo rising with his breath as he slept, the scars I'd traced with trembling fingers, and the way he'd growled "mine" as he spilled inside me. And now, here he was, in a suit that screamed power, looking at me like I was both prey and prize.

I opened my mouth, but no words came. Panic clawed up my throat. He'd known who I was and where I worked. Had he orchestrated this? Cut off my drinks to draw me in? The thought made my stomach twist.

"Damien," I whispered, the name tasting foreign and forbidden on my tongue. I'd never a

  • TWISTED OBESSION: MY FIANCE CHEATED SO I SLEPT WITH HIS BOSS   Chapter 100

    DAMIENThe Singapore skyline glitters through the floor-to-ceiling windows of my hotel suite—a forest of glass and steel reaching toward a cloudless sky. It's barely 6 AM, but I've been awake for hours, reviewing contracts for the Tanaka merger.Fifteen billion dollars.My phone buzzes with a video call. Elara's face fills the screen, sleepy and beautiful, her dark hair spilling across the pillow."It's almost midnight here," she says, smiling. "Shouldn't you be sleeping?""Meeting with the Tanaka team in three hours. I can't sleep." I loosen my tie and settle into the chair by the window. "How are you? How's the office?""Busy. Jennifer is handling the Morrison account launch. I'm prepping the quarterly presentation." She shifts, and I catch a glimpse of my shirt she's wearing. "I miss you.""I miss you too. Three more days and I'll be home.""Three days feels like forever." Her smile fades slightly. "Are you eating? You look tired.""I'm fine. Just focused." I glance at the stack

    DAMIANI wake at 3 AM to an empty bed, and panic spikes through me immediately. I'm on my feet before I'm fully conscious, my heart hammering.Then I hear voices from the living room. Female. Talking quietly.I find Elara and Sophia on the couch, wine glasses in their hands, looking like they've been there for hours."Couldn't sleep?" I ask, leaning against the doorframe.Elara looks up, and her expression softens when she sees me. "I didn't mean to wake you.""You didn't. The empty bed did." I cross to her and drop a kiss on her head. "What are you two conspiring about?""World domination," Sophia says with a slight smile. "The usual.""Should I be worried?""Terrified," Elara murmurs, but she's smiling now, too.I settle beside her and pull her against my side. She fits perfectly, like she always has."Hayes called," I say quietly. "They've cleared everyone hired in the last eighteen months. No connections to Richard. No suspicious financial activity. Clean backgrounds across the bo

    DAMIEN The drive back from the federal holding facility is silent. Elara stares out the window, watching Manhattan blur past us—gray buildings and crowded streets that feel surreal after the oppressive concrete walls we just left. Her hand rests in mine, our fingers intertwined, but I can feel the tremor running through her. "Talk to me," I say quietly. She doesn't look away from the window. "I thought seeing him would make it better. Seeing him locked up, powerless, in chains." Her voice cracks slightly. "But it didn't. He's still in my head." "He's trying to maintain control. It's all he has left." "Is he lying? About the others?" Now she does look at me, green eyes searching. "Or is there really someone else out there, waiting?" "I don't know." The admission tastes bitter. "Hayes is already running deep background checks on everyone with access to us. Security teams, household staff, office employees. If Richard planted anyone else, we'll find them." "And if we don't?" I s

    ELARA Dr. Sarah Chen is nothing like I expected. She's young, in her mid-thirties—with kind eyes and a no-nonsense approach that I immediately appreciate. "Tell me what happened," she says in our first session. So I do. I tell her everything. The kidnapping attempt. Richard breaking into the Hamptons house. James O'Reilly's betrayal. The final confrontation in the vault. She listens without interrupting. Takes notes. When I'm done, she sets down her pen. "You've experienced multiple traumatic events in a compressed time period. Your nervous system is stuck in survival mode, constantly scanning for threats, unable to relax because it believes danger is still present." "But danger isn't present. Richard is in prison." "Your logical brain knows that. But your nervous system hasn't caught up yet. It's still protecting you from threats that no longer exist." She leans forward. "That's what we're going to work on. Teaching your body that it's safe now. That you can let down

    ELARA I go back to work one week after Richard's arrest. Jennifer hugs me the moment I walk into the office. "Oh my God, we were so worried. Are you okay?" "I'm fine." The lie comes easily now. "The family emergency is resolved. Everything's back to normal." But nothing is normal. I sit at my desk and stare at emails I can't process. Every sound makes me jump. Every person who walks past my office makes my heart race. I keep expecting Richard to appear, to prove that his arrest was just another manipulation, or another trap. Reeves is with me constantly. Still playing the role of personal assistant, but now there's no real threat. Just lingering fear. "You should take more time," she says at lunch, watching me push food around my plate. "I need to work. I need to feel productive and feel ..." I trail off. "I don't know what I need." "You need therapy." Her voice is gentle. "Professional help processing the trauma. What you went through...what you survived...that does

    ELARA Hayes appears, and checks Richard's pulse. "He's alive. It is a shoulder shot. He'll survive." "Good." Damien kneels beside Richard, who's gasping, and clutching his bleeding shoulder. "You're going to prison. Real prison this time, not the country club facility you had before. Federal Supermax. Twenty-three hours a day in a concrete box. No windows. No visitors. No chance of parole." Richard coughs, blood on his lips. "You can't—" "I already did. The moment you tried to kill Elara, you became a federal target. Attempted murder of multiple people. Conspiracy. Domestic terrorism for the bomb threat—even though it was fake, you claimed it was real. That's enough for life." Damien stands. "You wanted to destroy me. Instead, you gave me everything I needed to bury you. Forever." "I'm your father—" "You're nothing." Damien turns away. "Hayes, get him a medical attention. Just enough to keep him alive for trial. Then transfer him to federal custody. I don't want to see hi
