5:45 AM. The sky was still dark, but Avery was already dressed.

She wore a dark, slim-fit overcoat to blend into the twilight. She slipped the bronze key Wenger had given her and her burner phone into her pocket. Her heartbeat thundered against her eardrums.

She cracked the bedroom door open with painstaking caution and peered out. At the end of the hallway, a guard in black was leaning against the wall, stifling a yawn. She ducked back into the room and held her breath for thirty seconds. When

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 29 Out of Control

    5:45 AM. The sky was still dark, but Avery was already dressed.She wore a dark, slim-fit overcoat to blend into the twilight. She slipped the bronze key Wenger had given her and her burner phone into her pocket. Her heartbeat thundered against her eardrums.She cracked the bedroom door open with painstaking caution and peered out. At the end of the hallway, a guard in black was leaning against the wall, stifling a yawn. She ducked back into the room and held her breath for thirty seconds. When she looked again, the guard was heading toward the restroom.Now.Avery moved like a shadow against the wall, gliding past the stairs and the security room. Just as Drake had once let slip, Dominic was in the basement fighting pits at this hour.Reaching the corner of the hallway, the side exit was within reach. Avery pulled out the black card Drake had slipped her in private. When he'd given it to her, his expression had been complicated. He'd said only one thing: "He doesn't know about this."

    The heavy light-blocking curtains in the study swallowed the morning sun.Avery jerked into full consciousness with a maddening sense of stiffness. Her back was pressed against a chest—searingly hot and solid—while her senses were filled with the scent of cold pine and the stale, lingering tobacco of a hangover.She hadn't gone back to her room. She hadn't even managed to leave this armchair.At the climax of last night’s confrontation, she simply couldn’t bring herself to slam the door on a man who was curled in the shadows, nearly collapsing under the weight of his own agony.Insanity.Avery stared into the void, a flicker of self-annoyance sparking in her eyes.He had humiliated her at the auction, used his power to buy out her right to the truth, and was likely hiding a blood debt deeper than she could imagine.Yet, as soon as she remembered him clutching his temples, rasping “I couldn’t save them,” or recalled the fact that he was the one who pulled Julian from the furnace seven

    "Twenty million! From Mr. Devereux in the second-floor box!"The auctioneer's voice cracked, fueled by pure, unadulterated adrenaline. He flourished his gavel, eyes darting across the room like a bookie whipping a coliseum crowd into a frenzy."Twenty million once! Do I hear any more? This is a landmark in Obsidian City's medical research history—the final legacy of the Claire Laboratory...""Thirty million."Dominic spoke. He raised his paddle slightly, his jaw set in a hard line. His voice wasn't loud, yet it hit the room like a boulder dropped into a still pond, triggering a wave of hushed gasps.His right hand remained clamped around Dr. Claire's fingers. His signet ring felt like a brand of ice—so cold it burned—threatening to embed itself into her flesh."Thirty-five million!"Behind the floor-to-ceiling curtains of the private box, Victor lazily raised his paddle again. He was half-shrouded in shadow, swirling a glass of red wine, his posture as casual as a man poking a trapped

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 26 The Auction of Wolves

    The Obsidian City Annual Charity Gala was a masterpiece of organized hypocrisy.It was the ultimate battlefield disguised as a playground for the elite. A shimmering facade where power was flaunted like a weapon and reputations were traded or destroyed over glasses of vintage champagne.To the outside world, it was a night of philanthropy. To those within, it was a shark tank.The moment Dr. Claire stepped onto the crimson carpet beside Dominic, the atmosphere shifted.The air, already thick with the scent of expensive perfume and rain, seemed to crackle.A barrage of camera flashes erupted. A thousand tiny silver arrows of light threatened to strip her bare before the world.Avery felt a surge of instinctive panic. She moved to raise a hand to shield her eyes.But a heavy, searingly warm palm flattened against the small of her back before she could flinch.Dominic.Standing tall in a flawlessly tailored black tuxedo, he looked less like a donor and more like a god of cold marble and

    When Avery opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Dominic's Adam's apple, inches from her face.The taut line of his throat shifted slightly with each steady breath. She realized, with a jolt of panic, that at some point she had wrapped her arms around him, her fingers still clutching the fabric of his shirt. Beneath the thin layers of their clothes, the heat of their skin felt heavy, almost viscous, tangling them together.The sheer intimacy of it made her brain short-circuit. She instinctively recoiled."Awake?"His voice was a sandpaper rasp. Dominic didn't open his eyes; instead, he tightened his hold, his strength sheer and arrogant as he crushed her back against him, erasing the inch of space she had just fought to gain.Avery collided with his rock-hard chest, her senses flooded by his scent—bitter pine and burnt shadows."Dominic, let go," she hissed, her heart hammering so hard it felt like it would shatter her ribs.Only then did Dominic open his eyes. They were shot t

    Avery pushed open the back door, trying to get some fresh air to suppress the overwhelming nausea that had been crashing through her skull all night.By the back door on the first floor, Drake was leaning against the wall, smoking. Cigarette butts littered the ground at his feet. As Avery walked past, he spoke."The North End warehouse. Boss signed it over last night."Avery stopped in her tracks and looked at him, stunned."That was the only deep-water port in Obsidian City. He almost got stabbed to death at the docks last year trying to hold onto that place. Every faction in the city wanted a piece of it. And he just handed it over.""Why?""To protect you!" Drake threw his half-finished cigarette to the ground."Victor wanted your blood sample. That was his leverage. Dr.Clair, Boss was cutting off his own limb. You should take a good look."He shoved a folder against Avery's chest.Avery walked into the kitchen gripping the folder. And stopped dead.Dominic was standing at the stov
