All Chapters of The Billionaire's Secret Obsession : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Oh, my God," the girl whispered. She didn't want to keep listening to that story with its typical tragic ending, yet she felt compelled to hear the end of the dark tale her aunt was telling."The desperation of our mother, of all of us as a family seeing her so shattered that she couldn't even cope with what was happening to her—in fact, she had always been Mother's most protected and pampered one, the one who fell sick the most and all those little details—that was what made what she was experiencing in that present moment turn into the most difficult situation imaginable."The woman stopped pacing back and forth and sat down on the empty sofa. She clasped her hands in her lap and looked at her niece with her deep eyes. The niece was visibly affected by what had happened in the past, but now, in the present, she could experience the pain in a more intense way, as if it were something completely brand new. Her heart was tight, and she had a lump in her throat that made it hard to swa

Bitterness mixed with various feelings, shattering her emotions as if it were a glass cup at the edge of a table. Well, she was no longer near the edge, but worse still, lying shattered on the floor."All right, I'll go pack my things and get out of here. I'm going to leave your life forever, and I swear I will never come back to you for the rest of my life. I don't want to ever see you again. I thank you for what you did, even if you forced yourself to act nicely, because I can already see you aren't the person I thought you were all this time. You're evil, you're... I can't even pronounce the word. What I do know is that you don't deserve anyone to love you because you don't even know how to do it, and you've dared to play with those feelings all these years." She paused briefly to take breath; she needed it to circulate back into her system or she would lose her voice. Everything hurt, absolutely everything. "I hope you don't regret acting in such a wicked way because I am not will

He specified that he had no intention of lingering there for months, let alone a year, but only a few weeks—just long enough to find a place to live and earn a living by the sweat of his brow. On the other hand, it didn't really matter to the man if she stayed a year or more. Quite the contrary; every time he thought about this new present, the idea pleased him more and more—an idea that was going to drag them both into an unsuspected labyrinth of perdition, though its very first premises had just been born. Right at the moment when she had appeared, she had stepped into the game."Take it, go ahead. I'm not even loaning it to you. I'm giving it to you because I know you really need it. Please, do it for Alicia. She would do the same for you, I beg you," he insisted, and she couldn't refuse."I'd much rather think of it as a loan, because presented like this, it makes me feel uncomfortable. You know..." she began, but she was interrupted."I won't accept a single cent back. All right?

Both knew they had to stop, but neither took the initiative to put the brakes on the situation. That only made matters worse by making them increasingly intense, akin to the unfathomable depth of the ocean. No comparison could have sufficed to translate what they were experiencing. Suddenly out of breath, she found herself straddling him, feeling with her whole being the pressing virility through his trousers, which nearly drove him to the brink of madness. Yet, he was holding back; he had to avoid at all costs causing a scandal.It mattered little that there was a living soul in the vicinity; this place was nonetheless inappropriate for yielding to such forbidden acts.It was a veritable miracle that he managed to stop the momentum and find the strength to say no to her. Although he subsequently had to subject himself to a cold shower to soothe himself by his own means. It was nonetheless the wisest decision; no matter how many times he had dreamed of taking her like that. Now that h

It was a nagging refrain playing on a loop in her head. The moment she crossed the threshold of the room, her friend eyed her, shaking her head. Her nervousness redoubled, as if Alicia possessed the gift of intruding into her skull to guess her thoughts. She cleared her throat, advanced slowly to resettle on the bed, and shrugged."Would you mind explaining to me why you took so long? I doubt it was just for a glass of water, little liar. I know very well you sneaked off because the movie was unbearable to you. You coward," Alicia dropped, while Hope sketched a poor smile. Alicia was far from imagining the earthquake that had just shaken the kitchen, an event clinging to the folds of her mind."Yes, you busted me, sorry. Actually, I really didn't get into it... You know horror movies and I mix like oil and water, that's why I dragged my feet. But here I am again, and the movie isn't even over yet," she defended herself under her friend's narrowed gaze."I knew it! Don't play dumb. You
