Fated To Be His Obsession Chapter 41 - We’re family
The hospital hallways were quieter now, dimmed for the night, with only the low hum of machines and muffled voices behind closed doors. Damien walked through them with the calm of someone who belonged there, even though he didn’t.“Mr Cross,” a nurse stopped him. “Where to?”“I’m here for Ryan Hastings,” Damien said, his hands crossed behind his back.“Mr Cross, visiting hours are over.” She said trying to hide a blush.“I know that but…come on.” Damien smiled sheepishly.She glanced around the hallway, making sure no one was watching.“Okay, I can give you 30 minutes. Room 212.”“Thank you.” He said giving her a wink. When he reached Room 212, he paused.Ryan was alone. The lights were low but bright enough to see across his bruised face. He lay half-propped up, bandages still fresh, IV hooked to his arm, but his eyes were open. Barely.Damien opened the door slowly, quiet enough not to be heard. Ryan sat up as soon as he heard the slight creek of the door.“Sienna,” he said quietly

“Can I come see you tonight?” Chloe’s voice sounded calm over the phone. But Damien could tell she was far from calm or fine.It had been nearly 2 days since she last saw him and he knew she’d either be pissed or worried.However, his voice came in like a thunderbolt. “No,” he said bluntly. He hadn’t been in the right frame of mind since his previous call. And he couldn’t afford her seeing him like this. Uncertain, worried, and frustrated.“No?” Chloe repeated. “What do you mean?”“I mean I have a lot going on and I can’t afford luxury meet-ups,” Damien said coldly.“I see, didn’t know that’s what I was - a luxury meet-up.” The sarcasm pressed down the weight of her words.“Chloe, you know that’s not what I mean.” Damien attempted to clear his intentions.“Then what do you mean Damien? How long are you going to keep living in this mysterious world of yours, which you never let me in.”“This is not the time for this Chloe, it’s not. I just need you to-“Damien rubbed his forehead, he d

The doors of Bennett Industries swung open with a force no one saw coming.Everyone stared at the lady in black as she walked gracefully yet fearfully down the company’s corridors.There were no comments, no questions,no one stopped her, no one stood in her way.She moved like a storm in heels—composed on the surface, but every step carried weight. Purpose and fire.The receptionist stood slowly, her mouth ajar. She didn’t know what to say. She couldn’t ask her why she was here or who she was here for. She just let her walk.She quickly reached for her laptop, tapping the keyboards faster than her hands could stop her. The lady knew what she was doing, who she was informing of her presence but she said nothing and did nothing.She made her way to the elevator, aiming for the the top floor. The people in the elevator whispered to themselves, but they weren’t quiet enough because she could hear all their baseless words.When she reached the top, she walked out like she owned the place

“Chloe, can you just let me apologise?” Damien whispered as he leaned forward on the table.“Even if I’m completely unaware of what I’m apologising for.” He continued.Chloe raised her eyebrows in shock. “So why did you call me here?” She asked.“Because I know you’re upset regarding our call yesterday morning and I wanted to apologise. Because the last time we saw one another, we were good. Satisfied in fact.”He says with an underlying edge.Chloe shifted in her seat when she heard his words. “You’re right, that’s after you called me a luxury meet-up.”“Look, I know I came off strong, and I’m sorry. I’m just really stressed out and I’m dealing with a lot of shit.”“Shit like what Damien? Why won’t you just talk to me?”“Because you can’t understand.” He snapped.“Then make me understand.” He fired back.Damien let out a huge sigh, but he didn’t say anything.Chloe breathed in slowly before she spoke.“Why didn’t you tell me you had a brother?”His brows shot up and she noticed the

The morning light crept through the curtains, spilling over Chloe and Damien, sweeping them in their soft embrace. Chloe stirred, her gaze locking on Damien, who was still asleep beside her. His chest rose and fell steadily beneath her, his breathing deep and even. She felt his warmth seep into her skin, the feel of him was a comforting presence.She couldn’t help herself, she traced the lines of his jaw with her fingers, marvelling at the way his face was perfectly structured.His eyes fluttered open at her touch, locking onto her with a familiar intensity that made her heart skip.“What are you doing?” Damien’s voice was husky with sleep, the rough edges making her pulse quicken.Chloe smiled softly, her fingers brushing through his hair. “Just looking at you. I like this, being here with you.”His eyes softened for a moment, his usual guarded demeanour slipping ever so slightly. “Me too,” he murmured, his voice laced with warmth as his hands slid down her arms, pulling her closer t

The morning sun filtered through the hospital blinds, throwing soft golden light across the sterile white sheets.Ryan sat on the edge of the bed, the cool floor grounding him as he slid on his shoes, slower than usual. His body still ached, reminders of what had happened clinging to his muscles.But it wasn’t the bruises that bothered him the most—it was the silence. The things he hadn’t said. The truths that pressed against his throat but never made it out.Sienna stood in the doorway, arms crossed, watching him with that quiet intensity she was so good at.She tilted her head observing his shaky movements. “You sure you’re ready for this? Going back into the world like nothing happened?” she asked.He didn’t look at her. “Yeah, I am Sienna, I’m good.”“How can you be good, Ryan? You were kidnapped.” she pressed.Ryan nodded, buttoning up his shirt with steady fingers. “I know that but I need to move on from it.”Sienna stepped further into the room unconvinced. “You still won’t tel

Ryan’s fingers tightened around the envelope as he stood frozen in Damien’s office. The air between them was thick—years of history, betrayal, and unspoken things hanging like a weight.“Damien,” Ryan’s voice cracked slightly. “Please… I need your help. You can’t let him come for me.”Damien’s eyes were hard and unreadable. “I understand perfectly,” he said. “And there’s nothing I can do.”“But you’re not like this,” Ryan pressed. “I know you. I know you’re not… heartless. And I know you don’t want to do this. Please. Just—just talk to him. Make it stop.”Something flickered in Damien’s gaze. Something that resembled mercy, grace, and pity.But it was gone just as quickly.Damien leaned back in his chair, nodding toward the invitation. “You forget I’m not done with you yet.”“I know, but not him please.“ Ryan said, his voice cracking. “I’ll take whatever you throw at me, but not him.”Damien nodded his head slowly. “He’s right, I have been gentle with you.” His eyes darkened.“That’s

The glass doors of CrossCorp slid shut behind Sienna with a hiss that felt more personal than mechanical.Her heels clicked sharply against the marble floor of the lobby moments earlier, but now the silence outside swallowed the sound entirely. The cold air hit her skin as she stepped onto the sidewalk, but she barely noticed it. Her thoughts were spiralling, replaying the confrontation in Damien Cross’s office—his face unreadable, his words curt, but his implication clear.He was involved. With Ryan. Somehow. And she was going to find out how.She pulled out her phone, the screen lighting up with the time—4:12 PM. Without hesitating, she hit Ryan’s name.He picked up on the third ring, his voice casual, almost too casual. “Hey.”“Where are you?” she asked, slipping into the back seat of her car. Her tone wasn’t accusatory. Yet.“Home,” he replied quickly. “Just got out of the shower. Why?”Sienna’s brows drew together. “I’m coming over.”There was a pause. Just a second. Barely. But

Fated To Be His Obsession Chapter 51 - We Don’t Lie To Each Other
Ryan stared at the text message on his phone like he had just seen a ghost.He had not received a text from Damien in years and now that he did? Damien was asking to see him.Ryan didn’t know what to make out of it.Was Damien finally ready to give him a listening ear? Or was this another way to lure him into the unknown?He quickly dialled the number that texted and the receiver answered on the first ring.“You have a lot of nerve calling me, don’t you?” Damien’s voice came in strong on the other end.“I…” Ryan stammered. “I just wanted to make sure it was really you.”“Hmmm” Damien murmured. “9:30 sharp. Don’t keep me waiting Hastings.”Before Ryan could say a word, Damien hung up the phone and took in a deep breath.Damien stood at the window, staring out at the quiet street beyond the gate. His breathing was heavy, arms folded across his chest.His phone came down from his ear and his arms hung by his side.Chloe watched him from the sofa, still wearing his shirt and nothing else
Fated To Be His Obsession Chapter 50 - Hello, Brother
Damien didn’t move. He stood in the doorway, one hand still on the knob, the other clenched by his side. His eyes flicked over Sebastian, taking in the perfectly pressed coat, the faint scent of spice and mint that always seemed to follow him, and the maddening calm with which he carried himself.Sebastian, in turn, looked past him and into the house with a casual sort of interest—like he was inspecting something he already owned.“I suppose this is the part where you invite me in?” he asked, arching a brow.“Suppose it isn’t.” Damien says in return.Sebastian chuckled under his breath. “Still stubborn. I see some things haven’t changed.”Then, without waiting for permission, he stepped forward. Damien didn’t move aside, but he didn’t stop him either. Sebastian slipped past him like smoke.Inside, he glanced around with a discerning eye, nodding slowly.“Nice place,” he said. “Minimalist, expensive. Very you.” He paused, then added, “And I must say—your house staff is quite impressive
Fated To Be His Obsession Chapter 49 - Out From The Shadows
Sienna sat at the edge of Ryan’s unmade bed, the morning sun creeping in through the slats of his blinds. The apartment was quiet—too quiet. Ryan had left early, claiming he needed to run errands. No kisses, no coffee, not even a “see you later.” Just a rushed departure and a trail of silence that felt like a ghost brushing past her shoulder. She should’ve gone home last night. She should’ve walked away the moment he lied about the job interview. But something in her refused to leave—not when she knew he was hiding something. Her eyes scanned the room again. Jeans tossed over a chair. The faint scent of his cologne in the air. His black coat still hanging by the door. He hadn’t worn it this morning, she realized. It was the same one he wore yesterday—when he left for that mysterious “interview.” Sienna stood, walked over, and slipped her hand into the pocket. There was a key, a wallet, and an unsealed envelope. Her stomach tightened. She pulled it out slowly, turning it ov
