Ronnie’s POV

The weight of the secret felt so heavy.

It was a word whispered in movies, and in some old myths, a trait that remained only in the bedtime stories of pups.

It was supposed to be real. It was formulated by someone, not a reality. Why then did it happen to me?

Or did I make a mistake?

Despite the millions of questions in my mind, the feeling from that night with Dagger came flooding into my mind, reminding me that it wasn’t a mere dream, or an illusion as I thought it to be.

  • WANTED! KING NOLAN'S OBSESSION.   Chapter 123

    123Ronnie’s POVThe first thing I noticed was the cold.The spot beside me on the bed was cold and empty, like nothing had ever been there. Like last night had been something that happened in my dreams or something I imagined all together.I sat up slowly, blinking against the morning light coming from the curtains.The room was quiet.“Nolan?” I calledNothing.Not even a whisper of reply.I looked around… the bathroom door was open, the light off. His bags were gone. The chair where he had dropped his jacket the night before was empty.He was gone.Just like that.My eyes scanned the room… instinctively landing on the table to see if there was a note there.Unfortunately, there was nothing.I took off the blankets and hopped off the bed, hurrying towards the living room area, where I usually stay.My phone laid pretty on the table where I had left it last night with the uncovered and untouched food I had ordered for us.I scrolled through my phone, hoping to see a message from him.

  • WANTED! KING NOLAN'S OBSESSION.   122: A Death Trap

    Nolan’s POVThe ceiling had been staring back at me for a while now.I hadn’t moved. Hadn’t tried to sleep. Hadn’t done much of anything except lie there with her weight pressed against my chest, her body warm.It was like even in her sleep, she was trying to make this harder than it already was.She was sleeping so peacefully.Her breathing was slow and even, her lashes perfectly still against her cheeks, her lips slightly parted. Every part of her was relaxed in a way I rarely ever got to see when she was awake.When she was awake, there was always something guarded about Ronnie, some invisible wall she kept pretending wasn’t there at all.But like this, in the quiet of the early morning with the curtains barely keeping out the light, she looked so much different.I couldn’t stop thinking about last night.Every single detail of it was still running on a loop in my head, clear and sharp, like my mind had decided to commit all of it to permanent memory without consulting me first.Th

    Ronnie’s POV“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about, Nolan…”Despite how hard I tried to push the words out of my throat, they only came out in the form of a breathless whisper.“You sure as hell do.” He said, his hands now traveling down my arms and settling on my waist.“Nolan!” I muttered.His hands were already starting a fire in my chest that I had been trying to run from for the longest time.No please…I almost said out loud, but my stupid eyes went shut in anticipation of what he would do next.I could already feel his lips just inches away from mine.No… this is not right!I tried to talk myself out of that moment, but it was almost impossible.My heart kept pounding heavily, like it was increasing its pace by the second.His large hands cupped my face as he pressed a soft kiss on my lips.The kiss… It wasn’t rushed at all.It was almost like he had poured out all his emotions in that one kiss.That was when everything inside of me broke loose.I buried my hands in his ha

  • WANTED! KING NOLAN'S OBSESSION.   120: Seduction

    Ronnie’s POVTake a deep breath…I kept reminding myself every five minutes.“Just something small and beautiful.” I said while putting the last piece of petal on the floor.I shook my head.“This is too much!” The words fell out of my mouth even before I was done thinking about them.What if he comes in and mistakes this for me trying to get back with him.I began to use my leg to gather the petals together quickly.What do I do now?Probably should just book a restaurant and have them serve him his best meal.That thought aroused another thought in my head.I have no idea what the King likes.“Maybe this was really a bad idea.”Just as I was trying to gather everything, his scent began to fill the room.“Oh shit!”I hurried towards the door quickly before he would get in.I met up with him there in the hallway, trying to block him from further entering the room.“Heyyy!” I said in a high pitched tone as I smiled at his unreadable expression. “You’re back already?”Kim stood by him,

  • WANTED! KING NOLAN'S OBSESSION.   119: His Royal Majesty

    Ronnie’s POVThe restraint I had been holding onto completely snapped.Without thinking, without caring about the reporters and other people watching, I spun around, and ran directly toward Nolan.I collided against his solid chest, throwing my arms tightly around his neck. Tears burst from my eyes so fast, soaking his expensive suit jacket.“Thank you,” I muffled into his chest, my voice broken.“Thank you, Nolan…”His guards stood like statues not so far from him.They didn’t even bother trying to hold me back or stop me from hugging him; they simply maintained their positions.Nolan’s large arms slowly came up, wrapping securely around my waist, the movement was more like he was trying to steady me, rather than hugging me back.After a long moment, he gently gripped my shoulders, pulling me back just enough to look down into my teary face. A small smirk stayed on his lips. “I bet this is enough to make you realize that influence supersedes hours of starving yourself,” he murmured,

  • WANTED! KING NOLAN'S OBSESSION.   118: Adjourned

    Ronnie’s POV“We have acquired enough evidence proving that this entire scandal was a setup,” Mr. Eden continued, throwing a thick folder onto the podium. “We have evidence proving that it was one of the company’s own directors who was behind it all, deliberately sharing Miss Caleb’s files to Alpha Tech to frame her. Miss Caleb has suffered immense psychological distress, defamation of character, and unlawful eviction from her corporate lodging. She deserves substantial compensation for being wrongly accused and mistreated.”The Alte Tech lawyer stepped forward. “You should be grateful that the company has decided to pull back the lawsuit, rather than bringing forth false information.”“And who said my information is false?” Mr. Eden defended.“Order!” The judge called from behind his desk, slamming the gavel down.The sharp sound echoed through the courtroom.Instantly, the heated exchange between both lawyers died down.The room fell silent once more.I could hear my own breathing.

    Sloane's POV I frowned at Nolan. "What do you mean by that? Or don't you know how to speak to your elders anymore?" "I came to see if my daughter in law is doing well and you're asking me to ask for permission?" Nolan didn't reply, he just kept looking at me like I was already going mad. But I

    Nolan’s POV“Please stay!”The words were so faint, that I almost thought I’d imagined them. It was like a desperate trick played on me by my own longing. But the grip on my wrist was real. Her fingers, though small and still slightly trembling, held onto me as if I were her only hope.I turned slo
