Chapter 26 – Pressure Points

last update Date de publication: 2026-01-31 09:23:25

Lila’s POV

I FOUND out something was wrong because the house felt watched.

Not in the dramatic way people describe when they want to sound brave later. Not shadows moving or doors creaking. It was quieter than that. Phones silenced when I entered a room. Conversations lowering by a half-step. Staff looking up too quickly and then away.

Pressure built in places I could not name.

I was in the west study when Ma

  • The Biker's Favorite Sinner   Chapter 105 – Nothing’s Missing

    Lila’s POV“NOTHING’S MISSING,” Adrian said slowly. The words came after a long, deliberate silence. Long enough for every second to stretch thin, for my heartbeat to grow louder in my ears, and for me to feel every inch of the room before I even stepped fully inside it.I crossed the threshold carefully. Not hesitant or even rushed, but just measured. Like every movement mattered.The air inside my father’s office felt exactly the same. That was the first thing that hit me. No disturbance. No sign of struggle. No overturned furniture or broken glass.The desk sat exactly where it always had, papers aligned in neat, precise stacks. The chair was pushed in just enough to look untouched. The shelves along the far wall remained lined with books and old records, the same worn edges and familiar arrangement I had memorized over the past weeks.Too perfect and that was the problem. Like someone had come in and made sure it looked untouched. Or like nothing had ever happened here at all.I

  • The Biker's Favorite Sinner   CHAPTER 104 – Don’t React

    Lila’s POV“DON’T REACT,” Jacob said under his breath.The words reached me just as the weight of the guard’s report settled over the room.The breach came from Daniel Montgomery’s office.I felt it in my chest first.A sharp, sudden drop, like something inside me had slipped loose and was falling too fast to catch. My pulse spiked hard against my throat, my hands turning cold even as the rest of me burned with the effort of staying exactly where I was.Don’t react.I repeated it in my head like a command.Like something I could hold onto.Because if I let even a fraction of what I was feeling show on my face right now, Adrian would see it.And if Adrian saw it… everything would unravel before we even reached the door.I inhaled slowly. Measured and careful. Like I had just been told something mildly concerning instead of something that threatened to destroy everything we had been building toward.Around me, the hallway shifted again.The quiet after the announcement didn’t last long.

  • The Biker's Favorite Sinner   CHAPTER 103 – Who Triggered It

    Lila’s POV“WHO TRIGGERED it?” someone shouted down the hall.The alarm cut through everything.It wasn’t just loud. It was invasive. A sharp, relentless sound that seemed to vibrate through the walls, through the floor, through my chest until it drowned out everything else. Conversations died instantly. Footsteps picked up. Doors opened. Voices overlapped in confusion and urgency.For a second, I couldn’t move.My body locked in place as the reality of it hit.This wasn’t planned.This wasn’t part of anything we had prepared for.Something had gone wrong.Jacob’s hand closed around my wrist again, firm and immediate, pulling me slightly behind him as his body shifted into something sharper, more alert.“Stay close,” he said, his voice low but steady, cutting through the chaos like a line I could hold onto.

  • The Biker's Favorite Sinner   Chapter 102 – Not Safe

    Lila’s POV“YOU’RE not safe here anymore,” Jacob said.The words landed before I even saw him.I had just stepped out onto the east corridor, the one that curved away from the main wing where the last of the staff were finishing preparations. The house had quieted, but it wasn’t calm. Not really. There was a tension threaded through everything now, something restless and waiting, like the estate itself knew what was coming.And then he was there.One second the hallway was empty.The next, Jacob stepped out from the shadows near the column, his hand closing around my arm before I could react, pulling me sharply into the narrow space between the wall and one of the alcoves.My back hit the surface behind me, breath catching.“Jacob—”“Listen to me,” he cut in, his voice low but urgent, his grip firm enough that I

  • The Biker's Favorite Sinner   Chapter 100 – Prove It

    Lila’s POV“PROVE IT,” I whispered to Jacob when no one was looking.The words slipped out before I could stop them. Before I could soften them.Before I could take them back.The moment they existed between us, something shifted.Not around us.Between us.Jacob didn’t answer immediately.He didn’t move either.But I saw it in his eyes.The way something dark and controlled tightened, sharpened, reacted.We were still in the hallway just outside the ballroom, the sounds of the rehearsal dinner fading behind us into muted voices and clinking glass. The light here was dimmer, quieter, the kind of space people passed through but didn’t linger in.I had lingered. Intentionally. And he had followed.Of course he had.“You shouldn’t say things like that,” he said finally, his voice low, measured, b

    Lila’s POVI THOUGHT avoidance would dull things.That if I learned how to look past Jacob, how to occupy my hands with books and cups of tea and meaningless tasks, the ache would quiet. I thought shame would be louder than longing.I was wrong.Avoidance did not erase him. It sharpened him. It mad
