All Chapters of His Dangerous Obsession : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Ruby’s POVI worked myself to death last night.After the intense moment we shared in his office, my body was exhausted. Even so, a shameful part of me still reacted to the memory of how he took me. No matter how rough or controlling he was, my body always seemed to respond to him — like it didn’t care how unfair the situation was.By the time I finally finished the project, I checked the time.7:00 a.m.The meeting was at 8:00.Zane hadn’t helped at all. After everything that happened between us, he simply fixed his clothes and walked out, leaving me alone with both the unfinished work and the mess he had made of my body. He was my boss, yes — but expecting someone to complete an entire project in one night, especially after what we did, was completely unreasonable.I had cleaned myself up afterward, but for some reason I still felt sensitive down there. Every small movement reminded me of him. I bit my lip and tried to push the feeling away.Control yourself, Ruby.The office door s

Ruby’s POVThe meeting finally ended.The moment it did, I gathered my files and walked out of the conference room as fast as I could without looking like I was running. Anger burned in my chest. How dare he embarrass me in front of everyone like that?As I moved through the hallway, I could feel eyes on me. Then came the whispers.“She couldn’t even answer a simple question…”“I heard she only spent a few weeks here before becoming the boss’s personal assistant.”“Maybe she crawled her way into that position…”Every word felt louder than the last. My ears burned, and I felt tears starting to form. I quickened my steps and headed straight for the ladies’ washroom. The moment I stepped inside and locked myself in one of the stalls, the tears finally spilled over.No, Ruby. Why are you crying?I had always been strong. Grandma used to say only weak people cried. I wiped my face with the back of my hand, but the tears kept coming.What was I even doing here?I was supposed to work quietl

Ruby’s POVAfter working like I was going through hell in that office, it was finally time to close.Please, Zane. No more work. Just let me go home.I sat for a moment, waiting to see if he would throw another file at me. He didn’t.Hallelujah.I stood up and started packing my things. While I was putting my books away, my phone buzzed. I picked it up and looked at the screen.$50,000.My salary.I just stared at my account. My hard-earned money was finally here. After everything I had been through in that place, I finally got my paycheck. For a moment, I forgot all the nonsense that happened today. Inside, I was dancing. I could finally pay my rent. I could finally face some of those debtors.I carried my bag and walked up to Zane. He was doing something on his computer that I honestly didn’t understand, because I already finished almost all the work. Whatever he was doing didn’t look that serious.“Sir, I’ll take my leave now,” I said.“Are you done with your work?” he asked withou

Ruby’s POV“Resign?” he said. “You want to resign, Ruby Carter?”“Yes,” I said.If he was trying to manipulate me, it was not going to work today.He stood up with his hands in his pockets and walked toward me. I stepped back until my back hit the wall. Before I could move again, he was already in front of me, pinning me there.“Ruby, this is not a company you just walk into and leave as you like,” he said.“Every employee has the right to leave if they want to,” I said, trying to sound confident.He looked at me with those blue eyes.“This is not just any company. This is Blackwood Holdings,” he said.His hands went around my waist and pulled me closer.“Let me go,” I said, trying to push him away. Of course he was stronger than me.“Ruby, you are never leaving this company,” he said.The way he said it sent a shiver down my spine.“And who are you to decide that?” I asked, frowning.“I’m the CEO,” he said. “And the only man who gets to fuck you.”Disgust hit me so hard that I slappe

Ruby’s POVYesterday was not something I could just erase from my mind. I didn’t even sleep. Dark spots were under my eyes.Should I call the police?Why didn’t I think of that before?I took my phone and dialed 911.“Hello, what is your emergency?” a female officer asked.“I was chased last night. I am scared,” I said.And yes, I was scared. Who wouldn’t be?“Relax, dear. Did you see the attackers’ faces?” she asked.“No, ma. I didn’t even wait to see their faces,” I said, still looking at my door.“Were they more than one?”“Yes, ma. Like two or three.”“We would love to help, but without face recognition, there is not much we can do,” she said. “For now, please avoid that path. We will do what we can.”“Oh… okay, ma,” I said.The call ended.Who would want to attack a broke girl like me? Was it because of the $50,000 salary I just collected?God, help me.I checked the time.7:45 a.m.Almost late for work.I couldn’t piss Zane off. If he uploaded that tape, my life was finished.I
