The King's Obsession Chapter 31: The sovereign choice (second half)
Della's POV He suddenly winced, his hand coming up to rest lightly over his ribs as a sharp pang from his gunshot wound caught him off guard. "Maybe... maybe we should wait until you're fully healed?" I murmured against his mouth, though my voice was thick with desire. My body was begging to be touched, the heat coiling intensely between my legs. "Let me make you feel good," Karlo rasped, his voice coated in dark, heavy pleasure. Before I could answer, he knelt on the floor before me, taking off the G-string undies. He took my left leg, hooking it over his shoulder, and buried his face straight into my dripping center. A sharp gasp ripped from my throat. The pleasure was so sudden, so overwhelmingly intense, that my eyes rolled back. My fingers tangled tightly into his dark hair as he used his tongue with devastating precision. My knees felt so wobbly that Karlo broke away for a second, lifting me effortlessly and carrying me over to the massive king-sized bed. He unzipped my bl
The King's Obsession Chapter 30: The sovereign choice
Della’s POV I stood before the full-length mirror, staring at the girl looking back at me. For three long weeks, I had worn pale pinks, cream sweaters, and soft fabrics, trying to fit back into the mold of the harmless girl I used to be. But that girl had died in Karlo's dark world. No amount of pastel clothes or mundane coffee dates was ever going to bring her back. I reached into the closet, pulling out a tailored obsidian-black dress with a sharp neckline. I pinned my brown waves up, painted my lips a deep velvet red, and grabbed Dad car keys. I wasn't a captive. I wasn't a prize to be protected or a helpless bird to be released. I was Della Brown and I was going to claim the life I actually wanted. I drove straight toward the northern hills. As the heavy iron gates of the Valtteri estate parted to let my car through, I didn't feel a drop of fear. The guards at the gate stared in shock, but none dared to stop me. I parked in the courtyard, stepped out into the crisp evening air,
The King's Obsession Chapter 29: The ache of freedom
Della’s POVThree weeks had passed since I walked out of the medical wing, and the world had moved on as if the storm that destroyed my life had been nothing more than a passing shadow. My home was peaceful. The heavy, suffocating weight of the debt was gone, replaced by quiet morning coffee, laughter at the dinner table, and the slow, steady rhythm of an ordinary life. My family was healing. My father smiled again, my mother no longer jumped when the doorbell rang.Everything was back to normal. And it was driving me insane."Della, are you even listening to me?" Christal’s voice pulled me out of my trance. We were sitting at an outdoor café in the heart of the city's shopping district, bathed in warm afternoon sunlight. A light breeze rustled the pastel umbrellas above us, and Christal was gesturing animatedly over her iced matcha latte, talking about a promotion at the firm she works in and a guy she had met over the weekend."Sorry," I murmured, forcing a small smile as I stirred
The King's Obsession Chapter 28: Returning to my world
Della’s POVThe silence that fell over the room felt heavier than the concrete slab that had trapped me in the De Luca basement. I stood rooted to the floor, staring down at Karlo. My ears rang with the echo of his words, my mind struggling to process the reality of what he had just surrendered."What... what are you talking about?" I whispered, my voice trembling. A hollow, disbelieving laugh bubbled up from my throat. "Is this some kind of sick test, Karlo? After everything? After you took a bullet for me?"Karlo didn't look away. His eyes, usually so full of terrifying, possessive fire were… flat, exhausted, and weighed down by an unbearable grief."It’s not a test, Della," he rasped, his chest rising in a slow, shallow struggle against the heart monitor’s steady hum. "It’s the only decent thing I have left to give you.”“You spent weeks keeping me in a gilded cage!" I stepped closer, my voice rising, thick with tears and sudden, furious confusion. "You forced me into your world! Y
The King's Obsession Chapter 27: The choice that has condemned us
Della’s POVThe air in the private medical wing of the Valtteri estate was heavy with the crisp, sterile scent of antiseptic, sharp contrast to the smoke and copper that had filled my lungs in the subterranean hellhole four days ago.The low, rhythmic beep... beep... beep of the heart monitor was the only sound breaking the silence of the room. It was the only tether holding me to sanity.For ninety-six hours, I hadn't stepped out of this room.Cain had tried to coax me into taking a break. A team of nurses had softly suggested I sleep in one of the guest suites. Nina promised she'd watch over him while I rested. Even Karlo’s personal physician had offered a mild sedative to help me rest. I refused them all. I bathed in the adjoining bathroom, changed into oversized soft clothes, and pulled an armchair right up to the edge of his bed, my hand permanently anchored around his cold, quiet fingers.I couldn't leave. I couldn't sleep, because every time I closed my eyes, I saw the blinding
The King's Obsession Chapter 26: The bullet meant for me
Della’s POVI stood frozen in the eye of the storm, my hands resting against Karlo’s chest. His heart was hammering with a terrifying, heavy thud beneath his damp tactical shirt, his steel-blue eyes searching my face with a terrifying intensity."It was just one of the guards," I whispered, my voice raspy from the smoke filling the corridor. "The one stationed at the sub-station."Karlo didn't nod. He didn't relax. The muscle in his jaw clenched so hard I thought it would crack.Without a word, his large, calloused hand slid down to wrap tightly around my wrist, anchoring me to his side. He turned, stepping over the burning debris, dragging me through the sea of fallen bodies and shattered glass littering the concrete floor.He stopped beside a groaned, bleeding guard slumped against the wall. Karlo stared down at the man, his voice ice-cold. "Is this him?""No," I murmured, watching the way Karlo’s shoulders flexed with raw, unrestrained power.We moved to the next body lying in the
