All Chapters of Ex's Sinful Possession : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

My body didn't move instantly at his demand. I just stared at him without blinking as he moved back after ordering me, giving me space to obey him.My throat tightened when his hand moved instead.He pulled open the drawer, took out another stack of cash, and shoved it into my coat.Four stacks.My heart tightened in my chest.Still not enough.I need more."Be quick," he snapped.I clenched my jaw so hard it hurt and forced myself to breathe.Don't think.Don't feel.Just survive.For this night...To keep your daughter alive.Slowly, I turned my face away from him because I couldn't bear to see that look in his eyes anymore. It hurt me more than anything. Earlier, he couldn't see me in pain, but right now, he was relishing it.I swallowed the lump in my throat and shifted my weight forward. A shiver ran down my body when my palms pressed against the cold sheets.I lifted my weight on my palms and sank my knees into the mattress next. Humiliation burned in my chest, making it hard fo

One month.That’s how long it has been since that horrible night.Lucien hasn't shown up since then, but whenever I close my eyes, I can feel his fingers on my skin. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of my sleep, having a dream of him on my bed. My head turned to my daughter, who was sleeping peacefully, holding my shirt in her tiny fist as if she were afraid I might leave her alone. I smiled softly.She doesn't know yet; she is my life. I can never leave her alone. I have got a job with a night shift. So in the daytime, I take care of her, while at night, Adrian looks after her. Adrian. My hand froze midway through stroking Aurora. Not even once did he hesitate to shift Aurora and me to his house. After clearing all the medical bills, I wasn't left with enough money to pay for the rent. We would have become homeless if he hadn't agreed to help. He has always come as my savior whenever I was in need. But this time things are not the same. He is taking care of Aurora like a dut

The next morning, I was expecting myself to still be on the muddy ground, unconscious and homeless, but to my surprise, I woke up in my bed. My clothes were a little dirty, but I was safe. After I passed out, I don’t remember anyone taking me inside.But I knew who did it.Adrian.Since that night, he has turned colder than ever. He hasn’t spoken a single word to me.If there is something important, he leaves a note on the table, and if it’s about Aurora, he tells her to tell me. In the past two weeks, I haven't heard a word from him directly. Aurora is now doing a lot better. She has once again joined the school, but Adrian hasn't found a job yet. Aurora's laughter is the only thing that's making our lives easier. I have taken the morning shift so I could do extra hours and earn more. I sighed and leaned back. So much has happened in the past one and a half months that I haven’t even gotten a moment to breathe.I rubbed my palms together and pressed them against my burning eyes

Third Person POV Clouds thundered the moment Cynthia stepped out of the office building, but she didn’t flinch.The storm above her was nothing compared to the one raging inside her chest.She walked down the empty street in uneven steps with her head hanging low and shoulders slumped.Her body felt heavy. Heavier than she had ever felt before. It was as if she were carrying something very heavy on her shoulders. Every breath scraped her throat, burned her lungs. The air itself was punishing her. Lucien's words clung to her skin like filth she couldn't wash away. She couldn’t shake off his voice. Her temple started throbbing as his words kept echoing in her head. He wasn’t chasing her anymore.One by one, he was closing doors.From every side.She looked up when the first raindrop hit her forehead. Even the clouds were crying. Yet her eyes remained dry. Tears were trapped inside her, refusing to come out. The clouds have opened up, and it will start raining heavily any time soon.

Lucien’s POVWhen I pressed my foot against the accelerator, I was dead set on killing Adrian.My vision had gone red.My hands were tightly holding the steering wheel.One wrong move and he would have been gone.But then I saw her.Cynthia. And that was when I lost the courage to finish what I had started.In the position they were in, I couldn't kill him without physically hurting her. So at the very last moment, I swerved.The car shot past them violently. Without looking back, I just drove away.That night, I didn’t sleep. The image of her clinging to him burned behind my closed eyes like a curse.The next day, I got to know Cynthia has resigned. Resigned! I can't believe it. I went completely crazy. After her husband lost his job…after everything…I hadn’t expected this.I waited for a few days, thinking she would come back but she didn't. I haven't seen her for a full week now and every minute without her feels like a punishment. Leaning back against the leather seat, I pun
