The Darkest Obsession Chapter 58
The flames consumed everything. I was little again, helpless, and watching the orange light dance across my bedroom walls like some terrible ballet. The heat pressed against my face, making it impossible to breathe, and somewhere in the house I could hear them screaming. My parents. Their voices growing weaker, more distant, until there was nothing left but silence and the hungry roar of fire eating away at everything I'd ever known. I reached for the door handle and my small hands burned against the hot metal. The hallway stretched endlessly ahead of me, filled with smoke so thick I couldn't see past my own fingers. I called for them, my voice breaking with terror, but the only answer was the sound of beams crashing down, blocking every path home. The floor beneath my feet was starting to sag, the wooden boards warping and cracking from the heat below. I could see flames licking up through the gaps, reaching for me with fingers of pure destruction. The smoke was so thick I couldn't
The Darkest Obsession Chapter 57: The Maestro
I didn't like to admit that my control was slipping. I didn't like to let myself drift too far or think too much about it. I knew my men hated me. I could feel it from their fiery gaze and bloodshot eyes whenever I passed by them. They followed me because they feared me. Me, a 24 years old, who somehow managed to take down the original head and founder of the black rose, who had it running for years, far older than me. Of course, they feared me. They feared the skills I possessed, my ruthlessness and ability to sacrifice anything. They hated me. And wished I'd burn alive.And now, it felt like every brick I'd placed upon the other, whatever wall I'd managed to build was coming down. There was a huge crack somewhere I couldn't see and it was tearing my every progress.I still remembered it all. I remembered the way he had looked at me in the eye and cracked a smile, with blood running from the corner of his mouth. I remembered how he had called me foolish when my knife was on his neck.
The Darkest Obsession Chapter 56: The Maestro
"Just some colleague from the station," Elias said with a casual shrug, but I could see in his eyes that there was more to it than that, "they seemed really close though, like they've known each other for years, he was asking all sorts of questions about where she'd gone and when she'd be back."My eyebrows pulled together as thoughts I didn't want to have started crawling through my mind like poison. Images of Jude with some faceless man who knew her well enough to worry when she disappeared, someone who had the right to ask questions about her whereabouts. The idea that she might have someone in her life, someone who cared about her in ways that went beyond professional concern, made something dark and ugly twist in my chest.I gritted my teeth and tried to focus on the papers in front of me, but the words blurred together as jealousy burned through my veins like acid. The thought of another man touching her, holding her, kissing her the way I had just minutes ago, made me want to p
The Darkest Obsession Chapter 55: The Maestro
I closed the door behind me with more force than necessary, and rested my head on it. My hand lingered on the handle as I tried to steady my breathing. The black dress shirt I'd thrown on hung loose and unbuttoned, but at least I was covered now, no longer standing half naked in front of the woman who'd already seen too much. My back still burned with phantom pain from where her eyes had traced the scars, the marks that told a story I'd never wanted anyone to read, especially not her.She'd seen them all, every raised line of scar tissue that crisscrossed my back like a roadmap of pain and survival, each one a reminder of lessons learned in the cruelest ways possible. The burns, the cuts, the marks left by chains and whips and things I'd spent years trying to forget, all laid bare under her shocked gaze. The look in her eyes when she'd whispered that question, "Who did that to you?" had nearly brought me to my knees with its gentle horror.I turned and pressed my back against the door
The Darkest Obsession Chapter 54
He had a white towel tied around his waist and his back was turned to me. His back had...there were so many scars. He turned towards me so quick, I could hardly make sense of what I saw on his back. He looked surprised and embarrassed and a little bit terrified. My eyebrows furrowed with concern as I brought my hands and intertwined my fingers behind my back and squeaked, "I'm sorry." It was so tiny, I could hardly recognize my own voice. I swallowed the lump in my throat and brought a hand to rub at the front of it. "Leave." He growled, his eyes hardening. He grasped the towel on his waist tighter and looked between me and the door, like he was contemplating how long it'll take for me to reach the door and how long he could kill me before I reached the door. A shiver of fear went through me, as I slowly backed away but I couldn't keep the whisper of thought that clouded my mind, "Who did that to you?"It didn't seem possible to be more terrifying than he already was, but he seemed
The Darkest Obsession Chapter 53
The day went by fast and I couldn't decide whether I should throw myself off the balcony, have the book that Elias gave to me flung against a wall or just fall unconscious. There had to be something I could do. It's been more than 24 hours now, I mean if anyone wanted murder me in my sleep, they'd have done it in the past hour. I wasn't that difficult to predict, I was always at home studying case files and drowning in self pity. And if I wasn't doing that, I was at the station or at a bar, Ava's bar. I rarely ever went anywhere else except Kyle had decided to drag me out. Kyle. He'd stop by my apartment today to see if what I gave as a excuse was true. I should call him, let him know I'm safe. But unfortunately for me and because the universe is an ass, I didn't have a phone currently. I blew out a breath and laid back on the couch I sat on. I was exhausted, anxious and I didn't want to admit this to myself, but I felt hopeless. I'd done so much to get clues and tips and now that I
