All Chapters of The CEO Is Obsessed With Me: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Seraphina was discharged from the hospital two weeks later, and during the time she was hospitalized, Luke visited her often, but Seraphina never allowed him in. It hurt him deeply, especially when Ezekiel was allowed to see her. The bet between them was still active and Luke feared he might have made a grave mistake. He still watched her from afar to protect her, because now that he knew about her illness he couldn’t afford to slack off. Soon the annual banquet was held as a way for the heirs of influential families to make their debut, and this year, it was held by Montauge’s, Veronica’s family. The night was in full bloom, and both Luke and Seraphina had received an invitation. Luke saw this as the perfect opportunity to finally talk to her, and he looked forward to taking her, but his plans were thwarted the moment Ezekiel came to pick her up instead. Of course, he also got an invitation. Ezekiel stepped out of his sleek BMW, dressed in a tailored white suit and crimson

LUKE POV“What an unpleasant surprise.”I pushed past Ezekiel and entered his dorm room, my jaw clenching as my grip on the file unconsciously tightened.Ezekiel had just stepped out of the bathroom, casually drying his hair with a towel, while I stood there glaring at him. A few moments of tense silence passed between us before I strode over to his couch and dropped the file.“That’s the transfer of ownership document for the port,” I said, my voice gruff. I had lost the challenge, and now I was here to fulfill my end of the deal.Ezekiel hummed in interest, leaning against the wall with a taunting smile. “I guess you’re a man of your word, then.”I ignored his remark and turned to leave, but my steps faltered when his voice rang out again.“No hard feelings, right?”My patience cracked. I looked over my shoulder, my gaze burning with malice.“Fuck you, Sterling.”***I slumped into my car seat, tipping my head back and staring up at the ceiling. I hadn’t been home for the past week,

AURELIA POVMy breath came in shallow gasps, each one laced with the sting of panic. The moment the door slammed shut behind them, I lay still, too afraid to move, my body curled in on itself as if making myself smaller would somehow make me invisible.I instinctively reached for my stomach, my fear multiplying by tenfold. Little did my captors know that they threatened two lives and not one. Six hours.That’s all the time I had before they killed me and my baby. A sob built in my throat, but I swallowed it down. Crying wouldn’t save me. They said they had sent a ransom note or Luke, but would he come? To risk his life for me? He had already told me to know my place, and whatever we had ended when I confessed to him. I tried to sit up, trying to my breath steamy as my fingers twitched, testing the ropes around my wrists. I winced and the rough fibers bit into my skin, leaving behind red blisters. But I ignored it. I didn’t want to sit around, waiting like a damsel in distress. Thi

AURELIA’S POV“Luke!!” I struggled against the man’s grip, tears rolling down my cheeks as I saw Enzo drive off with the man I love. “Let me go!!” “Calm down.” His voice was firm yet smooth, but I didn’t care. I jerked away from his grip but then collapsed on the ground, my chest burning with grief. “Aurelia.” I didn’t know who called my name. My mind was blank, and I just stared at my hands, soiled with Luke’s blood. My chest heaved as my fingers trembled, my vision blurring. “Aurelia!” I snapped back to reality, looking up at the men who towered over me. One was crouched in front with me, his brows pulled together in worry, while the other stood with his arms crossed, his expression neutral, but I could sense his restless by the way his feet tapped against the ground. Luke’s brothers. “Take deep breaths.” The one Luke called Zephan held my shoulders, his eyes were soft, and you wouldn’t think he was a mafia lord of not of the specs of blood on his shirt. I barely had time to

AURELIA’S POVI couldn’t breathe.Ezekiel’s finger hovered over the trigger, and for a single heartbeat, the world shrank to that point between him and Luke. My ears rang with the silence that followed my voice. He turned to look at me, his expression shifting from shock to a blank look that sent shivers down my spine. His eyes, the ones that once shined with warmth were cold and distant. “Aurelia.” He said softly, but I raised my gun, keeping my stance as my gaze shot between him and Enzo. Ezekiel’s gaze darkened as he glanced at my gun, his lips twitching into a crooked smile. “You weren’t supposed to be here darling,” he said flatly, like I was some inconvenient variable in his perfect equation.I stared at Ezekiel, the pieces clicking together, jagged and cruel. The empty hospital corridor. The sudden silence in his messages. This was the reason he didn't pick me up. He set everything from the very beginning. “You planned this,” I whispered, my voice shaking. “You let me get
