Dominic’s hand, which had been ruffling Dorothea’s hair, froze completely mid-air.

The flawless, untouchable image of the sovereign of Obsidian City collapsed instantly under a six-year-old girl’s flawless, unprompted cross-examination. Avery watched the fleeting look of astonishment and sheer awkwardness wash over his normally arrogant features, and the lingering terror and tension she had carried all night finally dissolved.

She lowered her head, letting out a faint, barely perceptible laugh.

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 199 A New Breakthrough

    When Avery woke, the light outside the window had already brightened considerably, the pale gold of early morning spreading across the ceiling in soft, shifting patterns. The air carried the familiar, cool scent of cedarwood that had come to define this room, mingled with the faint trace of coffee drifting in from somewhere down the hall.She turned her head. Dominic was still asleep, his breathing slow and steady, the rhythmic rise and fall of his chest a quiet anchor in the stillness. His left arm rested across her waist, heavy and warm. His right arm served as her pillow, the muscles of his forearm tensed even in rest.The morning light fell across his profile, softening the hard lines of his face, smoothing away the cold edges that usually defined him. There was a rare tenderness in the set of his mouth, an unguarded stillness he never showed the world—a vulnerability that made her chest ache.Avery watched him for a long moment, her eyes tracing the l

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 198 Complete Surrender

    At the end of the gangway, Dominic stood at the edge of the runway.The afternoon wind lifted the hem of his black coat, sending the fabric snapping against his legs. He stood in the heat haze rising off the tarmac, his silhouette sharp against the grey sky. No sunglasses. His unfocused dark eyes turned toward her the moment her foot touched the last step, as if he had tracked her descent through sheer will alone.Two steps remained when he raised his hand.His palm closed around her wrist with unerring precision. His fingertips found her pulse, his grip heavy enough to press her heartbeat into his skin. His thumb slid slowly down the inside of her wrist, tracing the delicate veins beneath the skin, his warmth sinking into her flesh like a brand of o

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 197: I Want to See You Today

    At seven in the morning, when Avery pushed open the door, Drake was already standing at the entrance of the stairwell, holding a small paper box in his hands."The Boss asked me to bring this." He handed it over, his tone efficient, and stepped aside to clear the path.Avery opened it on the spot. Inside was a folded light grey silk scarf. She lifted it and glanced at it—the fabric was impossibly soft, with no tags at the edges, carrying the distinct coolness of a private custom order.

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 196 Don't Hide from Me

    Sunset City's morning light was thin, as if filtered through a layer of gauze before it reached the ground. The morning sun filtered through the sheer curtains, spreading a pale, hazy glow the cream-colored floor. Dust motes drifted lazily in the light, suspended in the stillness.It was Avery's day off. After dropping Dorothea off at school, she turned back toward the apartment building. At the entrance of the stairwell, she spotted an insulated box sitting on the ground. The cardboard was plain, unmarked. There was no shipping label. No sender information. Only a handwritten line across the top: "For Avery." The handwriting was unfamiliar, the strokes slightly uneven, as if written in a hurry.She crouched down and used her keys to cut through the tape. Three layers.

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 195 The Name in the Box

    The afternoon of the day after Evan's visit, Avery's phone lit up.Dominic had sent a message with only one line:【The box is open. The contents have been sent back. They'll arrive in two days. Sending photos first.】Three photos followed immediately.The first showed the front of a brown paper file, yellowed with age. The edges were worn soft, the corners rounded from years of handling. In the lower right corner, a date from seven years ago was written in faded ink—two weeks before the Clair Laboratory burned.The second photo showed the first page inside the file. The title was printed, in an old format: "Experimental

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 194 Things Are Spinning Out of Control

    Just past ten in the morning, the doorbell rang.Avery came out of the kitchen and looked through the peephole. Evan stood at the door in a dark grey coat, empty-handed. She opened the door.Evan saw her and spoke first. "The nurse said the VIP room was empty last night." He paused. "You brought your mother home?""Yes."He nodded without pressing further. "Need any help?"He stood at the door for a few seconds, as if waiting for her to say something. Avery looked at him, smiled briefly, and stepped aside to let him in. She didn't answer his question directly, and he didn't push.

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 75 Truth and Temperature

    The heavy wooden door clicked shut, leaving behind a faint, chilly draft from the corridor.Only after Drake had exited and the surrounding air collapsed back into a dead silence did Avery finally venture to poke her head out from beneath the heavy duvet. The flush on her cheeks hadn’t fully faded,

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 57 A Gentle Threat

    Dorothea required two stitches on her forehead.Because she was so young, the local anesthetic had to be strictly limited. She trembled with pain throughout the procedure but never made a sound, her small hand simply crushing Avery's fingers in a desperate grip.Avery could feel every

    During breakfast, Dorothea kept her eyes fixed on the staircase.Avery sat across from her, mechanically stirring her oatmeal, her gaze never leaving her daughter for a single second.The word "lullaby" from Drake the previous night felt like a thin wire tightened around her throat.

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 37 The Midnight Rose

    The study was thick with the scent of fir and ink. Dominic stood against the light from the floor to ceiling window. As Avery entered, he turned toward her."Adrian invited me to the North Port," he said."To discuss what?""Logistics quotas. His docks, my cargo." He paused. "He asked for a private
