The Billionaire's Obsession Chapter 8
~Eliza~I had been tossing in bed restlessly for about ten minutes now.It was admittedly still too early to sleep, but I couldn’t bear the silence of the house anymore. My own thoughts seemed too loud and they were starting to suffocate me.Or maybe it was just my mind trying to keep me from experiencing another nightmare. It always started the same way.I would be in a car, driving down an empty highway, and suddenly, a car would ram into mine out of nowhere. Then nauseating pain would cramp my stomach and when I looked down, I would see blood.Somehow, in the nightmares, I never seemed to be able to move and save myself from the wreck. It was as if something or someone was holding me back. Then I would wake up, the pillow already wet with my tears.They were becoming more frequent now, and I knew the loss I just suffered triggered them. The first few months after the crash were the worst.I would jerk awake in a cold sweat, screaming for help to save a baby that was already gone. I

~Atlas~I turned my neck to the side to ease the cramp.But the tension in my shoulders stubbornly remained. I dropped my pen and removed my glasses before rubbing my burning eyes.I was more than tired. I was darned exhausted.It was evening already and almost everyone had left. For a brief moment, the thought of going home too crossed my mind, like it had done at least a hundred times since I got married to Eliza.And just like before, I immediately discarded the idea before it could take root. Because I knew that going home would be the most dangerous thing I had ever done.My house was the last place I could afford to be right now. Not when Eliza was there, in my house, in my bed.I closed my eyes and heaved a breath as my mind drifted to the day we got married. The memory of her wide, scared eyes was burned into my brain as surely as the way her lips had parted when she said the words, ‘I do.’Only after the registrar pronounced us as husband and wife did my heart settle into a m

~Eliza~It only took a few hours for my excitement to deflate.I had thought that I had figured out a way to get my company back from Daniel. My idea had been to reach out to my grandmother and ask her to sell me her shares in the company.Granted that I had no idea where she was since my father had basically alienated me from my mother’s side of the family. She might even decline helping me at all.Still, it was worth a try. And try, I had, until my eyes turned blurry from staring at the laptop’s screen for too long.Using the little information I could remember from eavesdropping on my dad’s conversation in his study, I searched online. If I could get even the slightest hint of her address, I could work on it and figure out her exact location.It had been at least four hours since I first started and I wouldn’t have minded at all if I found anything useful, but I hadn't.With a groan, I dropped my head on the table and dragged a hand through my hair. At this point, it was starting t

~Eliza~I still couldn’t believe it.Twisting my simple gold band on my finger, my heart thudded against my ribcage as it sank in that I was actually married.For the second time. To my ex-boyfriend. Who was also my ex-husband’s uncle.If the evidence weren’t staring me right in the eye this moment, I would dismiss this as a dream. It was as real as the deep blue colour of Atlas’ unsmiling eyes in the picture frame.Four weeks ago, my marriage to Damien officially ended, and I was left with nothing to my name. Somehow, Atlas pulled some strings to get us married two weeks later.The whole ceremony had been a blur, and I had barely managed to greet the two people he had brought in as our witnesses. He introduced them as his friends, but the two of them had been as warm as a block of ice.And maybe I had imagined it, but one of them, a tall, beautiful blond-haired woman, had been especially hostile towards me. I had wondered whether she had some sort of claim over Atlas, but I couldn’t
The Billionaire's Obsession Chapter 4
~Atlas~After six long years, she was finally back in my life. Eliza Monroe.I was close enough to touch her, but now, she was unconscious on a hospital bed. And my nephew put her there.My hands curled into fists at my sides and I hated the feeling of helplessness curling through me.“What the hell were you thinking, Eliza?” I muttered and let out a soft sigh.This was not at all how I thought our reunion would go. It had been bad enough to see her on the street two days ago. She had looked so pale that I thought I had lost her forever.I never wanted to feel that way again. It reminded me too much of the day she walked out of my life without any explanation.All I knew then was that she had just decided to end things with me for no reason, just to meet up with my nephew. I had been hurt and angry at her betrayal, until I found out the truth.But no matter how hard I tried, she never heard my side of the story. Then, she married him.I should have hated her for doing this to me, us,

~Eliza~“I didn't realize you found the idea of marrying me so distasteful, Eliza,” Atlas bit out, his gaze sharpening on me.“Well, for one, you are Daniel’s uncle,” I stated, widening my eyes at him incredulously. “What—”“Step uncle.”“will everyone think?” I finished determinedly.“Why do you care about that?” he asked, slightly tilting his head. “I thought you were perfectly okay with doing whatever you want without caring about anyone else.”I fell silent and glared at him. His last jab had nothing to do with what we were talking about. He knew that and I did too.Atlas let out a quiet breath and put up his hands. “Look, I don’t want us to fight. I am just offering to help you.”He shrugged. “You can either decide to let go of your pride or drown in it. Your choice.”“That’s not the issue and you know it, Atlas,” I countered quietly.He met my gaze with his hard, unyielding one. The painful memories I had fought to keep buried rose, unbidden, into my mind.Six years ago, we were
