All Chapters of The Don's Possession : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Rose lay in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. Sleep had refused to come, her mind trapped in an endless loop of the call she had received. Chain had them. Ariel and Jennie. The fear in their voices, their muffled cries, it all echoed in her ears, tormenting her.She turned to the side, eyes landing on the empty space beside her. James had gone to bed late after celebrating their victory, laughing, teasing her about her role at the party. He had no idea what storm was brewing inside her.Her fingers tightened around the sheets as her mind wrestled with the impossible choice laid before her. How could she hand over the man she loved? The man who had fought beside her, who had become her safe place? But how could she also let her best friend and sister die because of her?The weight of the decision pressed on her chest like a boulder, making it hard to breathe.She squeezed her eyes shut, willing herself to think, to find a way out. But there was none.By morning, her exhaustion showe

Rose’s hands shook as she looked at James. She wanted to tell him everything, but the words stuck in her throat. She doesn't wish to hide anything but still she doesn't want to spoil their good moments together and that's just the irony of a lady in distress.James waited patiently, his eyes soft but steady.“I need to tell you the truth,” Rose said finally. “About Chain… and what I did.”James nodded. “I’m listening.”Rose took a deep breath. “Chain didn’t just take Jennie and Ariel because of money. He took them because of me. Because of what I did.”she said.James’s face didn’t change. He stayed calm.“I lied to you,” Rose said, tears starting again. “I lied about what Chain wants. It’s not money,”she said.James looked confused but didn’t say anything. He waited for her to go on.Rose swallowed. “Chain wants you. He wants you to come to him. He said if I don’t bring you, he will hurt Jennie and Ariel.”she said finally.James’s eyes grew dark. “He wants to hurt us both.”he said.Ro

The sun came up slowly, painting the sky with soft colors—orange, yellow, and light blue. It was a quiet morning, and everything felt calm for the first time in a long while.James opened his eyes and looked around the small living room where they had all slept. He was on the couch. Rose was sleeping beside him, her head resting on his chest. Ariel and Jennie were curled up on a mattress close by.James didn’t move. He didn’t want to wake Rose. She looked peaceful, her lips slightly open, her eyelashes resting on her cheeks.He stared at her quietly for a while, then whispered, “You’re safe now.”Rose moved a little but didn’t wake up.Cole walked in slowly, holding a cup of coffee. He saw James and gave him a small smile.“You didn’t sleep much, did you?” Cole asked in a soft voice.James shook his head. “Just enough,”he said.Cole nodded. “We’re lucky. Last night things could have gone very bad.”James looked at Ariel and Jennie. “But it didn’t. That’s what matters.”Cole sat on a c

The next morning started quiet again, like the storm had passed. The sky was clear, and the air was fresh with a light wind dancing through the trees.James and Rose had fallen asleep on the same bed again, wrapped in each other’s arms. No more walls. No more fear. For the first time, they felt whole.But peace doesn’t always last forever.A knock came at the door.Three times. Sharp. Quick.James opened his eyes and frowned. Rose groaned softly beside him. “Who’s that?” she asked.“I don’t know.” James stood up and grabbed his shirt. He walked over and opened the door.It was Cole.His face was serious.“Something happened,” Cole said.James stepped outside, closing the door halfway behind him. “What is it?”Cole looked around before whispering, “We just got a message. From someone we didn’t expect.”“Who?” James asked, his voice low.Cole took a breath. “Elio Plank.”James froze.“Elio?” he said slowly. “That can’t be. He’s—”“He’s supposed to be dead,” Cole finished. “But the messa

Chapter They drove for hours without saying much. The silence inside the car was heavy, filled with thoughts, worries, and old fears. Outside, the road stretched endlessly beneath the dark sky. The only sound was the hum of the tires and Ariel's soft breathing as she slept in Rose's arms.James kept his eyes on the road,with his hands firm on the wheel. Rose watched him from the passenger seat. "Are you okay?"she asked."I’m fine," James said, not taking his eyes off the road."You’re quiet,"she said."I’m thinking."he replied."About your mother?"He nodded slowly. "About what she'll say... or do."Rose gave him a soft look. "You think she won’t want to see you?"James gave a dry smile. "She might not even open the door. Or she might open it and throw a knife. Or maybe she’ll hug me. I honestly don’t know,"he said.They took a turn off the main road into a long narrow path. Trees surrounded them on both sides, tall and quiet like watchers in the dark.James slowed the car and sto
