All Chapters of Her Dark Obsession : Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

"James, please. I am not playing you. I am not setting a trap. This is real." Anna kept her voice urgent. "I need you to believe that.""Why should I? Give me one good reason to trust anything you say after years of lies.""Because I am offering you exactly what you want. Complete control over me. The person who ruined your life, handed to you on your terms." Anna spoke quickly before he could hang up. "What more proof do you need?""Proof that you are serious. Proof that this is not some federal operation disguised as personal sacrifice." James sounded skeptical. "But we can discuss that later. I need time to think about whether I even want to make this deal.""Wait, do not hang up yet!" Anna felt panic rising. "Before you go, I need something from you.""You need something from me? You are in no position to make demands, Anna.""It is not a demand. It is a request." Anna swallowed hard. "I need to speak to Bianca. I need to know she is still alive."James laughed. "Why would I let y

"I never trusted you," Bianca said before James could leave the room. Her voice was shaking but there was anger beneath the fear. "From the very beginning, I knew something was wrong with you."James stopped at the door. Turned back slowly. "What are you talking about?""You. The way you suddenly appeared in my life. The way you acted so concerned about me and my father." Bianca pulled against her restraints. "I thought I was imagining things. Thought I was being paranoid. But I was right not to trust you.""You do not know what you are talking about.""Yes I do. I know you were playing me all along. Using me for something. I just did not understand what until now." Bianca's eyes filled with tears but she kept talking. "You dated me for over two years. Pretended to care about me. And it was all fake."James crossed his arms. "I am keeping you hostage because Anna needs to pay for her crimes. That is all. Nothing more complicated than that.""Liar!" Bianca's voice rose. "You are lying

"I spoke to James," Anna said into the phone. "He heard my offer but he needs time to think about it."Nicolas was quiet for a moment. "How did he sound? Suspicious? Interested?""Both. He does not trust that this is real. Thinks it might be a trap." Anna paced the small living room. "But I could tell he wants to believe it. Wants to think he has that kind of leverage over me.""Good. That means he is considering it seriously." Nicolas paused. "Did he give any indication of when he would call back?""No specific timeline. Just said he would contact me when he was ready to discuss terms." Anna sat down on the couch. "Could be hours. Could be tomorrow.""And you spoke to Bianca? Confirmed she is alive?""Yes. She is terrified but alive. They have her restrained. Drugged her at some point." Anna felt anger rising. "James better not hurt her before we make this exchange.""He will not. She is his only leverage." Nicolas sounded confident. "Now we wait for him to call back. In the meantime

"One more thing before we finalize this," James said. "I want you to understand something. You owe me a lot, Anna. You destroyed my career. You got me arrested. You humiliated me in front of everyone.""I was doing my job. I was undercover investigating—""I do not care what your justification is. You owe me. And I am not going to play petty with you like I used to." James's voice was hard. "This is serious. This is final. Tomorrow when you arrive, there are no more games. No more manipulation. Just consequences.""I understand. I will follow your instructions exactly." Anna kept her voice steady. "Just keep Bianca safe until I get there.""She will be safe. You have my word." James paused. "Now get ready. Tomorrow morning changes everything."He ended the call.Anna sat in the dark safe house waiting. The hours passed slowly. She did not sleep. Could not sleep. Just sat there thinking about Bianca. About what was coming.At exactly five AM, her phone buzzed with an incoming text.An

"Wait," Anna said before they could leave the warehouse. She turned to Bianca and pulled her into a tight hug. "Are you sure you are okay? Did they hurt you? Did they give you enough food and water? Did they—""Anna, I am fine. Really." Bianca hugged her back just as tightly. "I was scared but they did not hurt me badly.""But you said they drugged you. And tied you down. And James grabbed your throat." Anna pulled back to look at Bianca's face. Check for injuries. "Let me see. Are there bruises? Did he leave marks?""Just some marks on my wrists from the restraints. Nothing serious." Bianca showed Anna her wrists. There were red marks but nothing that looked permanent. "I promise I am okay.""What about your throat? James grabbed you there. Does it hurt to swallow?" Anna touched Bianca's neck gently. "Should we have a doctor look at you right now?""Anna, breathe. I am standing here talking to you. I am fine." Bianca put her hands on Anna's shoulders. "You saved me. You got me out. T
