All Chapters of ALPHA JORDAN'S DARK OBSESSION : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

CHAPTER 41: AS COLD AS ALWAYS CATHERINEMy Mom and I came back home quite late last night. By the time we left the cemetery, the moon was already glowing. It was quite an experience and we promised to visit Dad as often as we could.I went to bed as soon as we came back because I was exhausted and also felt renewed after pouring my heart out to Dad.This morning, I woke up before my alarm. For a second, I just stared at the ceiling, letting the quiet settle inside me. I actually slept better last night. After crying my eyes out at Dad’s grave, after letting everything pour out of me, it felt like a weight I didn’t even know I was carrying finally slid off my chest.It almost felt like he talked back. Maybe it was just the wind. Maybe I was just exhausted. But I swear something inside me felt… lighter.And today, I needed that strength.Because I had to face Jordan Canon at work.He had overheard me telling my dead father that he was “tough.” And he had said I should see him in his of

CHAPTER 43: THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE JORDAN:Spark started acting crazy the moment Catherine stepped into my office with that mug of coffee.He always did that whenever she walked into a room. Spark would wag his tail while pacing, and whining, whispering useless things like “Be nice to her… she’s our mate… don’t scare her…”I ignored him like always.But today he was stubborn and his voice grew louder.“She’s struggling with the little space on your desk, Jordan. Move the files. Help her. Be a gentleman.”Normally, I would’ve just sat back and let her figure it out, but… I don’t know. Maybe it was remembering how she felt so vulnerable at the cemetery yesterday, her tears and the tone she used, telling her late father she wishes he was still here to protect her. I don't know what came over me but I found myself wanting to fill that empty void in her life, something like a father figure.And this morning, she looked quite fresh, soft and hopeful.So I decided to “be nice.”But it turned ou

CHAPTER; I'M NOT INTERESTED IN THATCATHERINE:I didn’t know what came over me.Honestly, I still don’t know.Jordan was on the phone, telling my coding coordinator that he would pay an extra thousand dollars every week just so I could attend class in the afternoon…And the next minute, my legs moved on their own, and my arms wrapped around him like I had completely lost my mind.The hug felt warm for two seconds…Then his cold voice cut through the air like a knife.“That’s enough.”I snapped out of it so fast I almost tripped backward.What the hell was wrong with me?Why did I keep embarrassing myself in front of this man? First coffee on his crotch, and now hugging him like a crazy woman? Oh Goddess.“I’m sorry, sir,” I whispered, rushing back to my seat. My heart was pounding in my ears.Jordan’s expression was unreadable. Completely blank. That blank face that made it hard to know if he was angry with me or not. He might probably never speak to me again.I held my breath and wai

CHAPTER 46: SOLVING THE PROBLEM JORDAN:“How would you solve this problem if you were handling the product?”When I asked that question, Catherine looked at me like I had just asked her to solve world hunger.“Am I being interviewed for the position of product manager?” she asked, brows raised. “Is Mr. Taylor resigning?”I blinked in surprise. James blinked too.Spark laughed loud in my head like, she got y’all.I cleared my throat and leaned forward. “No. You’re not being interviewed. You’re my secretary. But I also need to know your capabilities… you know… just in case a higher position opens.”She paused, like she was trying to figure out if I was lying. Then she slowly nodded.“Okay,” she said, then turned to James. “Can I use your tablet, sir?”James handed it to her fast, like he was giving a bomb he didn’t want to explode in his hands. “Sure—here.”Catherine unlocked the tablet, clicked on the prototype app, and her whole face changed. The shy, confused little girl look she al

CHAPTER 48: THE UNWANTED VISITJORDAN:After Catherine left for her coding lessons, I sat there in my office, trying to focus, but the damn boredom was gnawing at me. This was the first time in what felt like forever I ever felt alone. And the silence in here seemed to suffocate me. I hated it.Every time I glanced at the clock, it felt like time was dragging. Why am I even thinking about her?I tried to distract myself, diving into emails, checking reports, running through proposals—but my mind kept drifting back to her. God damn it, this was all your fault, Spark. Spark wouldn't stop talking about her and now it was like there was a pull, a magnetic force drawing my thoughts back to Catherine, and I couldn't stop it.That was when I remembered the camera feed I had access to. I told myself I was just going to check in—just for a second. Nothing too obsessive. Just a glance to make sure she got there okay.I clicked the monitor open, and sure enough, Catherine was standing outside t
