MY HUSBAND'S BROTHER IS OBSESSED WITH ME의 모든 챕터: 챕터 171 - 챕터 180

 [THE LAST THING JULIAN LOST]“I should have been free by now… but the world was still tightening around me.”The city looked different when you were being hunted.Not louder.Not faster.Just… closer.Like the walls of reality had slowly learned your name and decided you didn’t belong outside them anymore.I stood inside the abandoned penthouse overlooking the rain-drenched skyline, listening to the distant sirens stitching the night together.Adrian wasn’t here.That alone was wrong.Bec

[THE NIGHT EVERYTHING BURNED]The first sign that something was wrong wasn’t the fire.It was the silence.The Vale compound never went silent—not like this. Even at night, even under lockdown, there was always movement beneath the surface. Guards shifting positions. Drones are adjusting routes. The low mechanical pulse of a system pretending it wasn’t alive.But tonight, the air felt… emptied.Like the world had been holding its breath too long and finally forgot how to exhale.I stood near the glass corridor overlooking the lower levels, fingers curled around the railing until my knuckles turned white. The lights along the walls flickered once—then steadied&mdash

[THE GIRL WHO VANISHED AGAIN]“The world thought the fire ended me.What it really did… was erase the last reason I had to stay human.”Three weeks after the fire, the city still smelled like smoke.Not literal smoke anymore.Psychological smoke.The kind that lingered after something catastrophic changed the world permanently.Governments were collapsing quietly behind polished press conferences. Billionaires disappeared overnight. Political alliances fractured publicly while secret organizations buried bodies faster than investigators could uncover them.And somewhere inside the chaos—Everyone was looking for me.Maristella Yang.The missing girl at the center of the fire.The surviving witness.The heiress nobody understood yet.I stared through the rain-covered train window as the countryside blurred into streaks of gray and silver beneath the storm.No security.No guards.No diamonds.No empire.Just me sitting alone beneath a flickering overhead light with a stolen passport hi

[Emotional Edge]“The most dangerous part of survival wasn’t the enemies hunting me.It was the fact that part of me still wanted the men capable of destroying me.”**The rain had not stopped for three days.It hammered against the black windows of the safehouse as if the city itself wanted in.Or maybe it wanted me dead.I sat at the edge of the narrow bed inside the abandoned penthouse Adrian had stolen from one of the Vale financiers weeks ago. The building overlooked the drowned neon skyline of Hong Kong, where government drones now circled every night searching for fugitives tied to the Vale collapse.Searching for us.Searching for me.The media called me:The Missing Heiress,The ghost survivor,The blood daughter.The internet called me something worse.The Crown of Ashes.I stared at the tablet screen glowing in the dark room.Another article.Another leaked photograph.Another bounty update.ALIVE — 1.2 BILLION.DEAD — PRICE NEGOTIABLE.My fingers tightened around the device

[Risky Intimacy]“The worst part about obsession wasn’t being wanted.”It was realizing you wanted it back.”**The stairwell smelled like blood, smoke, and rain.Julian’s hand gripped mine tightly as gunfire exploded somewhere below us.Too close.Everything was chaos again.Alarms screamed through the building.Concrete dust drifted from the ceiling after another explosion shook the lower floors.But somehow the most dangerous thing in that stairwell wasn’t the Obsidian Circle soldiers hunting us.It was Julian.Alive.Burned.Breathing.Looking at me like surviving the fire had only made him more obsessed.“Move,” Adrian snapped sharply.His gun remained aimed at Julian’s chest.Julian barely looked at him.That terrified me.Because Julian had stopped seeing Adrian as competition.Now he looked at him like an obstacle.And those were the kinds of things Julian destroyed.Julian pulled me slightly behind him as footsteps thundered upward from below.Protective.Possessive.Instincti
