All Chapters of An Illicit Obsession : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

I look at Killian, and he puts the paper aside. Picking another file, he handed it to me. I sat back and opened it. It was not just my father’s file, but my grandfather’s as well, and my great-grandfather, Philip Anderson. Everything from their birth to death, or how many missions they did as a Shadow Knight was here—except my father. His details all matched with his facade, but nothing about the Shadow Knight. “Someone deliberately removed him from our records,” he said. “Who would do that, and why?” I wondered as I looked down at the papers. The file was thick. They were not just Shadow Knights—they were good at it. I come from a line of murderers. It was right here. “Why? This is yet to be seen. But who? I already have the answer.” I looked at him with a silent question. “My grandfather. He is the only one in the position to do so, and Tommen was here before me and was an active part of the organization for ten years.” “Ten year

Killian pulled away, turning his back to me. Taking the tank top that had fallen on the side of the bed and his shorts, he quickly dressed as he said, “Maybe he did it for fun,” a cold humor in his voice. I pulled the sheets up to my chest. “My parents didn’t want me to enter this life,” he began. “I had never met my grandfather. We were on a private island, living a quiet life,” there was a look on his face—something between a memory and wistfulness. “I knew who my parents were, but I was miles away from this world.” He finally looked at me. “And one day, one of their enemies caught up to us. We were taken off the island, onto a private yacht. He tortured us, killed them in front of me, and was about to kill me… but my grandfather found us. That was the first time I met him.” “How old were you?” I asked. “Thirteen. Two years later, after my grandfather found the man who did it, it was I who sliced his throat.” I didn’t know what to say. A p

My father shouldn’t have done one thing—and that was threaten me directly, trying to plant discord in the name of Killian. He still thinks he’s dealing with the naive Mila, who only grew a backbone because of a man. He couldn’t be more wrong. His worst mistake was assuming that just because I am his flesh and blood, he knows anything about me. I could feel every eye on me as I agreed with Tommen Anderson. Killian’s dark, fiery gaze was ready to burn me as the call was cut. I got a vague idea of his location—he was near the Anderson Mansion. "Is he really this sloppy or just blind in desperation?" I wondered, stepping aside so the screen was visible to the six men who had come with Killian. Behind me, Eva and the others stood as well. "This is the location the call was traced to," Killian said, handing it to one of the men. "Go scout the place thoroughly." The men disappeared the moment he commanded, and I turned to see we were left

The Knights' Headquarters was truly a world of its own.Last time I’d been here, I didn’t have the right mindset to take it all in. But now, as I walked past the training areas and medical bays, I noticed the physical data storage vault—an old-school mechanism, surprisingly well-maintained. Beyond that, a long hall opened up into what could only be described as the heart of the cyber division.The moment I stepped in, the sound hit me—the familiar staccato rhythm of keyboards, multiplied by the dozens. Some agents were murmuring into phones, others huddled around glowing monitors in pairs or small groups, their faces lit by shifting code and surveillance feeds.The second Killian and I entered, everything stopped.Silence spread like wildfire, and every head turned to us. But Killian didn’t flinch. With his hand gently pressing against the small of my back, he guided me toward a cabin tucked away in the far-left corner. He knocked once before pushing the door open.

Everything changed in a few moments—he was gone. When I went outside to see, I saw no one there. The hallways were deserted. And his absence chilled me more than what had been revealed.What had I been fighting for all this time?I went back inside and sat on the seat, shutting off my laptop and putting it aside, feeling exhausted. Thinking about what had been revealed. It was now a fact—Tommen was a Shadow Knight, and his records had been removed from the organization by Edmund. Most likely because he wanted to hide the identity of the real murderer behind Killian’s parents’ death. Why did he want to hide it? And why did he lie to Killian?And the question I was most afraid of: what if my father had something to do with it?The cigarette marks on Killian's body—the image burned in my mind. Rage bubbled inside me, searing my heart. I clenched my hands into fists.I paced across the room, waiting. He had left his phone here as well. Then I dialed Eva, who must be
