Semua Bab My Dark Obsession: Caged Between The Billionaire's Love : Bab 1 - Bab 10

Lena I sit at my desk in the quiet, expansive office of King Enterprises, my eyes already heavy from hours of staring at endless spreadsheets. The afternoon light filters through the tall windows, casting long, soft shadows across empty cubicles. Every keystroke reminds me that I’m here, alone with my thoughts, the hum of machines and distant footsteps the only sounds breaking the silence.As the clock approaches noon, I push my chair back and let out a long, silent sigh. I rest my head on the cool surface of the desk, desperate for a moment’s respite. My eyelids droop, and I can almost drift away—if only for a couple of minutes. Before I can sink any deeper into exhaustion, I hear a gentle tap on my shoulder. I open my eyes to see Collette, her kind face marked with quiet concern.“Lena, would you like something to eat? Perhaps a cup of tea?” she asks softly.I manage a small, tired smile and shake my head. “I’d rather take a quick nap,” I murmur, my voice barely audible in the vas

Aaron King My days run like clockwork. No interruptions. No exceptions. Up at five. Gym by six. Espresso at seven sharp. I review three international reports before eight. By nine, I’m seated at the head of a boardroom, surrounded by people who nod before I speak.It’s not arrogance. Its structure.Order.My business depends on precision—and I’ve built an empire out of it. I’ve also kept my personal life in a permanent state of drought. No family. No entanglements. No one with access to my hours, my mind, my time. And then there is my stupid assistant, Lena Moore. She gets under my skin. That’s all it is.She isn’t someone I fancy—God, no. She’s just... irksome. The kind of woman who walks into a room like she owns it, challenges everything with that clipped tone and impassive face, and then leaves before anyone can prove her wrong. It's not attractive. It’s irritating.I don’t admire her. I notice her because she refuses to blend in—like a static noise you can’t tune out. She's sha

KianI shouldn’t care.I shouldn’t feel this rage burning in my chest every time I see her laugh at something he says. But there it is—the bitter sting of jealousy that eats at me like acid, raw and unstoppable.On my screens, she appears in crystal clarity. I have her office, her building lobby, her apartment hallway—all angles covered. Tonight, I watch her through a feed from her office, where Aaron fucking King stands a little too close, his hand brushing her shoulder as he points to something on her tablet.My jaw tightens. He doesn’t even belong in her world, not really. Too old, too practiced. A man who knows how to wield power like a weapon. And she—sweet, bright Lena—doesn’t see it. She doesn’t see how his gaze lingers a little too long.She doesn’t realize that while he charms her, I am the one keeping her safe. I know her routines, her smiles, her sighs when she’s tired. I know she prefers peppermint tea over coffee when her stomach feels off, and that she always tucks her h

LenaReturning home is the only thing I was looking forward to. The night is quiet, but my heart is anything but.I press my palms flat against the cool windowpane, trying to calm my racing pulse as I stare out into the dark street below. The neighborhood looks the same as it always does—dim streetlamps humming, an occasional car rolling past—but my eyes snag on the silhouette across the street. A man. Still. Watching.My blood turns to ice.It isn’t the first time I’ve felt his presence. Sometimes it’s a shadow outside the grocery store, sometimes the hairs on my neck prickle when I walk to my car after work. Tonight it’s undeniable. He’s standing there, exactly where the glow of the streetlight doesn’t quite reach, his body a shape carved from darkness. His stillness unnerves me more than anything—like he has all the time in the world to just…wait.I yank the curtain shut and step back, my breath shallow. I can’t do this. I can’t keep pretending I don’t notice.My phone lies on the

Aaron The smell of smoke still lingers in the back of my throat as I stand before what used to be mine. The warehouse is an inferno, flames stretching high into the night sky like they want to devour the stars. Sirens wail, lights from rescue trucks and police cars strobe across my face. Men in uniforms rush past me, shouting orders, dragging hoses, pointing to exits. I can hear the hiss of water being blasted against fire, but it’s useless. The fire has already claimed it. My warehouse. My empire’s backbone. Gone. I clench my fists as the heat washes over me, sweat rolling down my temples despite the cold bite of night air. I should walk away, I should leave this chaos to the professionals, but I can’t move. My chest feels like it’s caving in as I watch everything I’ve built turn into ashes. Wyatt grips my arm, pulling me back a few steps as sparks shower near the fence. “Sir, we can’t stand this close—” “I’m not moving,” I growl. My eyes never leave the flames. No one knows
