KIERAN'S POV

How dare he touch what belongs to me.

The thought kept repeating in my head as I watched Marco's body being dragged out. Blood was still spreading across my expensive carpet. I didn't care. He deserved worse.

I looked at Elara. She was frozen. Standing there in that red dress I picked for her. She looked perfect. And beautiful.

Good. She should understand what I'm capable of. What I'll do to protect what's mine.

I set the gun down on the table and walked over to her. She flinched

    ELARA’S POVI was in the library reading when I heard the front door slam really hard.I looked up from my book. Something was wrong. I could feel it.Heavy footsteps came down the hallway. Fast and angry. Then Kieran walked past the library door without even looking in.I should have stayed quiet. Should have minded my business and kept reading.But I didn't."What's wrong?" The words came out before I could stop them.He stopped walking. And turned around slowly.He Looked at me like he was surprised I was even talking to him."What's wrong?" he repeated."Yeah. You seem upset."He stared at me for a long moment. Like he was trying to figure out why I cared."Business," he finally said. "Nothing that concerns you."But the way he said it told me it did concern me. Somehow.He walked away before I could ask anything else.Dinner was weird.Usually Kieran drank wine with his food. Tonight he had a glass of scotch. Then another one. Then another one.He barely touched his plate. Just sat th

  • Thorn of obsession    CHAPTER 20: The Other Woman

    KIERAN'S POVThe meeting was dragging on longer than it needed to.Dmitri Volkov's lieutenant was making excuses about the delayed shipment. Again. I sat at the head of the conference table, half-listening to his stammering explanations about port security and customs delays.Dante stood behind me, silent as always. A living reminder of what happened to people who wasted my time."Mr. Thorne, if you could just give us another week""You've had three weeks," I said, cutting him off. "The contract was clear. The timeline was clear. Your failure to deliver is becoming a pattern."The man's face went pale. "I understand, but…"Silas slid A piece of paper across the table in front of me. I picked up the note, And read it . Then read it again.Vera is here. Insisting on seeing you. She knows about Elara.Fuck.I kept my face blank. I folded the note. And slid it into my pocket."Gentlemen," I said, standing up. "We'll continue this discussion another time. Dante will see you out."The Vol

  • Thorn of obsession    CHAPTER 19: The Dress

    ELARA’S POVThe doorbell rang around noon. I was in my room reading when Anya came to get me."Miss Elara, the designer is here for your dress fitting."Right. The wedding dress. Because this nightmare was actually happening.I followed her downstairs to one of the sitting rooms. A tall, thin woman was setting up her stuff. She had a measuring tape around her neck and pins stuck in a little cushion on her wrist. Behind her were bags and boxes, probably full of fabric and whatever else you need to make a wedding dress."Good afternoon," the woman said. Her voice was flat. And professional. Like she did this every day."Hi," I said back.She didn't smile. Didn't ask me how I was feeling about my wedding. Didn't do any of that excited bride stuff. She just looked at me like I was a mannequin in a store window. Like I was just another job."Let's begin," she said. "Stand here, please. Arms out."I did what she said. Stood in the middle of the room with my arms stretched out to the sides.

  • Thorn of obsession    CHAPTER 18: The Wedding Plans

    ELARA’S PovI woke up slowly and opened my eyes. I almost screamed.Kieran was sitting in the chair by my bed. Just sitting there. Watching me sleep like some kind of creep. He had a cup of coffee in his hand, and the early morning light was coming through the windows behind him.My heart started racing, but I forced myself to stay calm. This was part of the new plan. Stay in control. Don't let him see me panic."Good morning," I said, keeping my voice steady.He looked surprised. Like he'd expected me to freak out or something."Good morning," he said back, taking a sip of his coffee. "I hope I didn't wake you."You didn't." I sat up in bed, pulling the covers up a bit. I was in pajamas, but still. Having him watch me sleep was creepy as hell. "How long have you been sitting there?""Not long." He set his coffee cup down on the little table next to the chair. "I thought we could discuss the wedding today."The wedding. Right. Because apparently we needed to make this whole nightmare

  • Thorn of obsession    CHAPTER 17: The Strategy

    Kieran’s PovI stood there in the doorway staring at Elara. My Elara. Sitting at the dinner table like she belonged there.She was wearing a red dress I'd never seen her in. Her hair was done up all nice, falling in waves around her face. She had makeup on. And she was smiling at me."Hello, husband," she said again, her voice all sweet. "Shall we discuss our wedding?"I didn't trust this. Not one bit.She'd been giving me the silent cold treatment. And now suddenly she's dressed up, sitting at dinner, calling me husband?Something was wrong here.But I wasn't gonna let her see that I was suspicious.I walked into the room slowly, set my briefcase down. And loosened my tie. I sat down across from her."Elara," I said, keeping my voice calm. "This is unexpected."Is it?" She picked up her wine glass, took a small sip. Yeah, this was definitely a trap."I see." I gestured to one of the staff, and they brought me a plate. "And what brought on this change of heart?"She shrugged, cutting in

  • Thorn of obsession    CHAPTER 16: The Break

    ELARA’S Pov The knock on the door made me jump so hard I nearly fell out of bed. My heart was racing like crazy."Jesus Christ!" I pressed my hand to my chest, trying to catch my breath. "I almost had a heart attack. Come in!"Two maids walked in, both wearing these perfectly ironed uniforms. They had that polite smile thing going on."Good morning, Miss Elara," the older one said. "It's your spa day."I blinked at her. "My what?""Your spa day, miss. Mr. Master arranged it."Of course he did. I wanted to laugh. This guy kidnaps me, locks me up, and now he's sending me to a spa like that makes everything okay. Rich people are something else.But honestly? I wasn't going to say no to a massage. My shoulders had been killing me from all the stress."Alright, fine. Lead the way."We finally stopped at these big double doors, and when they opened them, my mouth actually dropped.It was a whole spa. Like, a professional one. In his house."You've got to be kidding me," I muttered. "This g
