All Chapters of The CEO's Lethal Obsession (ENGLISH VERSION): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Lily Russell's POVI swallowed hard at what I heard. One wrong answer… and everything I worked for will disappear. It can’t end here. Everything isn’t over yet. This is only the beginning of my plans.“Ahh!” I gasped when Wade suddenly yanked my hair violently. The pain surged from my scalp to my nape, like fire spreading across my skin.“Answer me!” Wade shouted. It was clear from his expression that he was already fed up with my evasions. “I hate it most when someone keeps making me repeat myself. I thought you were smart? You can’t even give a simple answer?”“I-I don’t have—” I didn’t finish what I was saying. A hard slap thundered across my cheek.I tasted my own blood, salty and hot, flowing at the corner of my lips. My eyes widened in pain and shock. I might die if he keeps hurting me like this…Wade’s eyes showed no remorse, not even a flicker of hesitation. He didn’t even blink while doing it. He was used to this… used to hurting people. And I was his next toy.“You liar!” Wa

Lily Russell's POVWade did not answer Zaid’s question. Instead, he slowly turned to his brother, and in an instant, his heavy hand landed on Zaid’s cheek.I winced. Even though I wasn’t the one slapped, I knew how painful it was; I could feel it just from the sound of his palm striking his brother’s face.“Who told you you could come in here?” Wade asked sharply, his voice low but seething with anger in every word. “And more importantly, why are you interfering in an adult conversation?”“Nothing!” Zaid quickly shot back, trembling but not backing down. “But that’s not the point here, kuya! What are you doing to Miss Russell? Why are you hurting her? Have you gone insane?” His voice sharpened, almost shouting. “You’re a monster!”Wade smiled, a cold, spine chilling smile. “I am, Zaid,” he said slowly, as if unsure whether it was anger or amusement. “You know that very well. So leave before I lose my patience with you.” He stepped closer, his expression darkening. “Or you might end up

ZAID’S POV“Give me one bottle of whiskey,” I said, as I placed my card on the counter. This is the first time I’ve disobeyed Kuya’s orders. The first time I’ve fought back.Whenever Kuya Wade and I meet, it’s always just jokes and teasing. I never talk back no matter what he says. In our family, he is the perfect one, the praised one. Me? I’m what they call a stain, the one without direction, the one going nowhere. But tonight is different. Tonight, I couldn’t stay silent.“The hardest whiskey,” I added, saying it firmly.As the bartender handed me the bottle, Lily’s face was all I could think about. The way she looked earlier, as if all the strength in her body had melted away. Her clothes torn, lips swollen, traces of tears still on her cheeks. She looked like a broken toy, played with too much by a child.I don’t know what’s stronger, the anger I feel toward Kuya or the pain of seeing Lily in that state.She is a woman. And above all, she is a person.How could Kuya do that? How c

Lily Russell's POV“Can you stand living in that house?” Alena asked with a faint smile, though there was pain in her voice. “I know it’s Wade you’re after. But don’t you know his younger brother Zaid also has feelings for you?” I took a deep breath. “If I’m the one you’re asking, I don’t want to live there because Zaid is there. But Wade is the one who wants me to stay with him there. I can’t exactly refuse because I need to uphold my role as the obedient girlfriend of a Wade Chilton.” There’s a small part of my heart that worries I might hurt Zaid again once he finds out I’m already his brother’s girlfriend. But my anger toward Wade is stronger, so I need to set aside whatever pity I feel for Zaid. If I let compassion take over, I’ll lose the chance to reclaim the justice that I and my family are seeking. Zaid has a kind heart, but he is only a tool in my plans, and I won’t allow emotions to ruin the strategy I’ve built over many years. “Seriously,” Alena exclaimed in disbel

ZAID’S POV“Are you scared now, kid?” the leader of the group said mockingly. His deep voice echoed inside the VIP room.We are in the VIP room of the bar. Not too big, but not too cramped either. The smell of alcohol, cigarette smoke, and strong perfume mixed in the air. They brought me here after the chaos. Everyone earlier just watched as I was beaten by these men. Not a single one of them cared to help me. Maybe they were afraid of getting involved in trouble, or maybe they knew who these people were.“You look like you come from a wealthy family, huh,” the man said, shaking his head. He dragged out his words as if stripping away my identity. “I should’ve asked for more money. I wouldn’t have lost anyway. Looks like the woman coming here is beautiful. What, is she your teacher? Miss? Miss Lily Russell?”I closed my eyes for a moment. I could feel the heat of my blood in my cheeks. But despite everything they had done to me earlier, I suddenly gained strength. A strength coming fro
