Damien didn’t knock. He shoved the door open like he’d been holding back rage for miles.

Because he was. How dare James Bennett tell him to leave Chloe? Who did he think he was?

Damien’s anger was interrupted by the sound of whimpers as he walked in.

“Chloe,” his voice thundered through the room.

She was still on the floor, back against the wall, eyes glassy and distant. Her arm was cradled against her chest.

When she saw him, she shuddered.

“Damien…” she whispered.

He crossed the room in three strides and dropped to his knees beside her. His eyes zeroed in on the red mark on her arm.

“What the fuck is this?” he hissed, reaching out but not touching—afraid he might hurt her more.

Chloe looked away.

He grabbed her gently, but firmly. “Chloe. Who did this to you?”

She swallowed hard before answering “My Father.”

He stared at her, and then realization crashed down. “He put his hands on you?”

She flinched at the venom in his voice but nodded slowly.

“Tell me exactly what he did.” He was b

    Damien watched Chloe as she picked out her outfit for her meeting with her father.“Are you sure you’re okay going alone?” He asked sitting up in the bed.“Yes, I am.” She said sharply.“And what if he tries to lay his hands on you again.” “He won’t, he’s probably drowning in guilt right now.” She said as she picked out a blue suit. “That’s what he always does.”“So you don’t need some sort of emotional bodyguard,” Damien asked as he chuckled.“I’ll be fine Damien, thank you for the offer, but this is something I need to do on my own.”“Very well then.” He said, buttoning up her jacket. “I’ll let myself out. Call me if there’s anything.”“I will,” Chloe said. Picking up her handbag as she headed toward the door.“And Chloe…” Damien paused. “I’m proud of you.”She smiled and gave a slight nod before heading out.As Damien got himself ready to leave, his phone buzzed in his pants pocket.He picked it up in a swift motion. “Talk to me.” He said.“Damien” Ethan’s voice came in sharp. “We

    The night air burned in his lungs.Ryan stumbled forward, one hand pressed against the jagged wall of a crumbling alleyway, the other clutched at his side. Every breath felt like fire, sharp and uneven, tearing at his chest. His vision swam, streets melting into shadows. He hadn’t made it far. He knew that. But it was far enough that he didn’t know where he was anymore.Far enough that Damien’s men hadn’t caught up to him. Yet.His clothes were soaked with sweat and dirt, his shirt torn from catching on a fence during the escape. One of his shoes was missing. He couldn’t even remember where he lost it. Blood trickled from his lip, he must have bitten it when he fell the last time.He kept looking over his shoulder, convinced he’d see someone in a black coat rounding the corner, eyes cold, hand already reaching for him. But the alley stayed empty. Only the echo of his unsteady footsteps filled the silence.A garbage bin rattled somewhere behind him. Ryan jumped, heart nearly bursting o

    Ethan froze. He held the phone to his ear, listening to the single word Damien had just said. “Speak.”And that wasn’t like Damien. Not really. Not when they were alone. He was trying to be formal.Ethan’s mind shifted in an instant. He didn’t say anything at first, buying himself a second or two of silence to think.Damien was never careless. Which meant this clipped command, was a signal. An indication. Someone was listening.And Ethan had a damn good guess who it was.“Put it on speaker,” Chloe said, arms crossed tight over her chest.“Chloe, what’s the meaning of this?” Damien grunted.“I just want to know, that’s all. I want to know I’m not crazy for feeling like something’s off.”“You don’t trust me?”“I’m trying to,” she said, stepping forward. “But you’re making it hard.”For a moment, neither of them spoke. The air was thick with tension. Damien looked down at the phone still in his hand, Ethan’s name glowing on the screen, then back up at Chloe.He shook his head and Chloe s

    Damien sat on the edge of his bed, still dressed in black slacks and the shirt he hadn’t bothered to unbutton since he got home. The night stretched quietly around him, the city humming just beyond his windows. He hadn’t turned on the lights. He didn’t need them.His mind was elsewhere.Chloe’s voice had echoed in his head the entire ride home. “Put it on speaker.”The way she’d looked at him—uncertain, cautious. Like she wasn’t sure who she was standing in front of.It shouldn’t have bothered him. But it did.She was right to question him. He wasn’t being honest with her. Not fully. But the fact that she noticed, meant he slipped. And Damien never slipped.He leaned back, exhaling, his fingers dragging through his hair.Then there was Ryan, he had told Ethan to let him go. He wasn’t scared of the consequences of Ryan’s escape. Because there was none. Ryan wasn’t going to say anything, he didn’t dare.

    The ceiling was a blur of white, flickering faintly with the hum of overhead lights. Ryan blinked once. Then again. His eyes focused, slowly adjusting to the sterile brightness around him. His body ached, not the sharp kind of pain, but the heavy, dragging kind, like gravity itself, was stronger today. His lips were dry. His throat was sore. But when he turned his head and saw her, Sienna face off with her sister, arms folded, eyes red from exhaustion, something in his chest lifted. He asked quietly, “What’s going on here?” Sienna’s head shot to her side. Her eyes widened. “Ryan?” He tried to sit up, but she was already at his side, gently pressing him back down. “Hey—don’t move. You’re okay. You’re safe.” He let out a shaky breath. “Where the fuck am I?” “Hospital,” she said softly, brushing some hair off his forehead. “You’ve been out for hours.” He scanned the room slowly. His gaze landed on the second figure standing and staring at him. “Chloe…” Her name left his mouth bef

  • Fated To Be His Obsession   Prologue

    Chloe Bennett tasted betrayal on her tongue. It wasn’t the tequila. No. It wasn’t the burn of the liquor sliding down her throat. That would have been much easier to handle. It was the sight of them—her sister, her ex—wrapped in each other’s arms like she had never existed. She felt her chest tighten as she wallowed in self pity. The club pulsed around her, but she didn’t hear the music. All she heard was the echo of his words, the ones that shattered her into nothing. Stabbing her like a blunt pocket knife twisting deeper into her back. “It was always her, Chloe.” She had replayed those words over and over again, her mind desperately trying to find some loophole in their meaning. Some ridiculous way to make them mean anything but what they did. But no, the truth was there, raw and unyielding. She should have known, the late-night calls he ignored, the way his gaze lingered a second too long whenever her sister entered the room. The tightness in his voice when he swore

    Chloe Bennett couldn’t believe her ears. For a moment, everything went dark and hazy, as if she were trapped in a nightmare she couldn’t wake from. She shook her head, desperate to shake off the wave of hurt coursing through her. “What are you saying, Ryan? I… I don’t understand,” she stutters, fighting back the warm tears already gliding down her cheeks. She stands frozen in the living room, her heart hammering against her ribs as the harsh reality of Ryan’s betrayal hit her like a tidal wave. His words echo through her mind, each syllable cutting deeper than the last. Her breath grows unsteady. The room seems smaller, suffocating. Across from her, Ryan her boyfriend and Sienna her older sister sit side by side on the sofa, their hands intertwined. Their closeness was a cruel confirmation of what she had just heard—what she had lost. Chloe’s stomach twists violently. She clenches her fists while trying to control her breath. “I asked you a question,” she says, her voice barely

    The bar was crowded, the low hum of conversations blending with the soft clinking of glasses. He sat in his usual corner, swirling the liquid in his glass. He wasn’t here to drink, not really. He was here out of habit, a way to pass the time. And then he saw her. She walked in like she had no real destination—like the world had just thrown her out and she hadn’t decided where to land. Her steps were slow, hesitant, and yet there was a fire in her eyes, a storm she was trying to conceal. She took a seat at the bar, ordered a drink, and wrapped her fingers around the glass like it was the only thing tethering her to reality. He watched as she brought it to her lips, taking a slow sip, her shoulders rising and falling with a deep breath. Something about her caught his attention, though he wasn’t sure what. Maybe it was the way she gripped the drink like she was trying to draw strength from it. Or the way her gaze occasionally flickered to her reflection in the mirror behind the bar,

    James wasn’t one to make threats lightly, but after his recent discoveries, he knew it was time to have a serious conversation with Damien Cross. That evening after his conversation with Sienna, he dialed a number he hadn’t called in years.The line connected. “Damien,” James said, his voice as cold and controlled as always.There was a pause on the other end, and then Damien’s voice responded“Mr Bennett.”James didn’t waste time with pleasantries.“We have some things that need to be discussed.”“Business?” Damien asked though they both knew that wasn’t what this was about.“Something like that,” James replied.“Kindly be at my office tomorrow morning. Eight sharp.”There was a long silence, Damien could hear the faint tick of a clock in the background and could feel the weight in James' tone - not threatening, but commanding.“I’ll be there.” He said.And then, James ended the call without another word.Damien settled in his bed. He knew why James Bennett had called and he was read

    The office was silent except for the soft rustling of paper as Chloe moved around, straightening a few things on Damien’s desk. She wasn’t doing it for orderliness— it was just something to keep her hands busy, something to fill the space between them.Damien sat back in his chair, watching her with a lost expression. Then, without warning, he spoke.“You sent the note, didn’t you?”Chloe stilled, her fingers hovering over a stack of documents.A wave of silence passed through them before she turned slowly, her brows furrowing in feigned confusion. “What?”“You sent that note to Sienna.”Chloe let out a soft, disbelieving chuckle. “Why would I do that?”“You tell me.”“You think I threatened my own sister?”“Well it was more of a warning, not a threat, but yes.”“If you already decided I did it, then why are you asking?”“Because I want to hear you admit it.”She stared at him, refusing to waver. “I didn’t send it.”Damien leaned forward, resting his elbows on the desk.

    Sienna sat in front of her vanity, staring at her reflection in the mirror. The bedside lamp cast a golden hue over her features, making the shadows under her eyes look darker and sharper. Her white silk robe draped over her shoulders, loosely tied at the waist, revealing a hint of her collarbone as she absentmindedly toyed with the paper in her hand.The note.Watch yourself.The words seemed to hang in the air, heavy with meaning as Sienna ran her fingers over the edge of the paper, pressing it lightly between her fingertips.The message felt more like a warning than a threat. She had no definite proof but deep down, she was certain of one thing. It had to be Damien. It had his name written all over it.She didn’t have proof—just instinct. And instinct, Sienna knew, was something she had honed to perfection over the years. It had never failed her before. She had been challenging Damien, pushing him, she thought. And now he was irritated.This note, this chilling reminder, was his w
