All Chapters of His Dangerous Obsession : Chapter 31 - Chapter 39

Zane’s POVWhat Williams told me got to me.What if he was trying to tell me something?I told James and some of my men to dig deeper. Finding Ruby’s father was getting harder, and I was getting pissed off.When I entered the office, Ruby was at her desk, focused on her work. She looked stressed. Like someone who didn’t sleep.I ignored that feeling. She was not my girlfriend. She was not someone I could fall in love with.To me, she was just a tool.I walked to my desk and sat down.---Ruby’s POVThe way he stared at me when he entered made me uncomfortable.What was his problem now?I pretended to be focused on my computer, even though I was already done with the work on the screen.Soon his eyes left me.Thank God.He walked to his seat.After some minutes, I stood up with a file and walked to him.“Sir…”He didn’t even let me finish.“Come and kneel in front of me,” he said.I looked at him, shocked.“What do you mean, sir?” I asked.“I’m horny, so I need your mouth,” he said.I fr

Ruby’s POVBy the time work ended, my head was still heavy.The nightmare from the morning had not left me. All through the day, I kept touching my neck without thinking. Every time Zane walked past me or spoke to me, the dream flashed back in my mind. His hand on my throat. His laugh. That word.Die.I tried to focus on work, but my mind was scattered. Even the files in front of me looked blurry at some point. I was tired. Scared. Confused.And worst of all, I had nobody to talk to.Sarah was nice, but I couldn’t just dump everything on her. She worked in the same company. One wrong word and office gossip would finish me.Ethan? Never.Zane? That one was the problem itself.So by the time I left the office, my chest felt tight with too many things I had been holding in.That was when my phone buzzed.Lisa.For a second, I just stared at the screen.Part of me still didn’t fully trust her. She hurt me before. She slept with Ethan. She broke something in me that I was still trying to r

Ruby’s POVWork ended later than I wanted.I packed my things fast and left before Zane could stop me. He was busy with something on his desk, so I used that chance and walked out.Outside the company, I raised my hand for a taxi. I just wanted to go home. Before the car could stop, I heard my name.“Ruby!”I turned and frowned at once.Ethan.“What do you want?” I asked.“I just want to talk,” he said.“I already told you I don’t want to talk to you.”He reached for my hand, and I pulled it away.“Don’t touch me.”“Ruby, come on. How long are you going to keep this up because of one mistake?”“One mistake?” I said. “You slept with my best friend.”Before he could answer, another voice came in.“Is there a problem here?”I turned and saw Lisa walking toward us.Ethan looked shocked.“Lisa?”She ignored him and came to my side.“Are you okay?” she asked.I nodded.Ethan laughed a little. “So you two are friends again?”Lisa looked at him coldly.“Whether we are friends or not, you don’

Ruby’s POVFinally I took the courage to go meet Grandma at the graveyard.For some days now, I had been telling myself I would go. Every time I remembered her, my chest would pain me and I would postpone it. But today I couldn’t postpone it again. I needed to see her.I bought a flower bouquet on my way. I dressed well too. Not like I was going to a party. Just neat clothes. Grandma always liked when I looked clean. She used to say no matter how hard life is, a girl should not look abandoned.When I got to the graveyard, the place was quiet. Too quiet. My footsteps even sounded loud to my own ears. I held the flowers tight and walked until I saw her grave stone.I stopped in front of it for a few seconds. I couldn’t talk immediately.Then I bent down and placed the flowers gently on the stone.“Hi Granny,” I said, trying to smile. “I’m sorry it took me too long to visit.”I stared at her name.Just looking at it already made my throat tight.“How is it over there?” I asked. “Did you

Zane’s POVBy morning, Ruby was not at her desk.At first I didn’t think much. Maybe she was late. Maybe she was angry because of how I controlled her yesterday.But after one hour, she still didn’t come.I looked at the empty seat again.Then I called her number.It rang and cut.I called again.Same thing.My hand tightened on the phone.James walked in with files, then stopped when he saw my face.“What is it?” he asked.“Ruby is not here,” I said.James checked the time. “Maybe traffic.”“I called her. No answer.”He became serious and tried her number too. Still nothing.“Maybe she finally ran,” James said.I looked at him coldly.“She can’t run from me that easily.”Ruby knew what I had on her. She knew I could destroy her name, her job, and whatever little peace she had left. That was why she stayed. That was why she obeyed.So if she truly disappeared on her own, something was wrong.“Check the entrance,” I said. “Cameras too. I want to know if she came near this building toda
