I NEED YOU, ELENA THE PRICE OF BETRAYAL
Chapter 0009 THE PRICE OF BETRAYAL EMILY, I couldn't believe it. My heart pounded violently against my ribs, each thump echoing in my ears as my mind struggled to make sense of what I had just witnessed. It was as if the air had been sucked from my lungs, leaving me gasping, suffocating under the weight of the truth. Ryan—my Ryan—stood there with her, his hands on her as if she belonged to him. The way he gazed at her, the soft smile that played on his lips, the way she leaned into him without hesitation—it was undeniable. It was real. I had hoped, prayed even, that the rumors were nothing more than vicious lies meant to stir trouble. That people had exaggerated, twisting innocent moments into something scandalous. But deep down, I had known. Some part of me had feared this moment long before I ever laid eyes on them together. But to see it with my own eyes? To watch him betray me in the most unforgivable way? It was like a knife to the chest, the pain sharp and relentless. My

CHAPTER 0010 THE SCANDAL ELENA This was my worst fear come to life. One careless mistake—one fleeting moment of recklessness—had set everything into motion. Ryan’s wife had seen something, misinterpreted it, and now she was determined to turn her assumptions into a scandal that would ruin me. The truth didn’t matter. It never did. People believed what they wanted to believe, and once the whispers started, they spread like wildfire. I could already see the wreckage ahead. And I would be the one buried beneath it. Regret consumed me, each wave more suffocating than the last. I should have known better. I should have never let Ryan step into my office that day. I should have never set foot in his house. Every seemingly insignificant choice had led me here—to the edge of a downfall I couldn’t escape. Panic clawed at my chest. What was I supposed to do? The thought of people finding out made my stomach twist violently. I could already hear the hushed conversations in the t

CHAPTER 0011 FEARS FROM THE PASTRYAN Elena ran like a woman being hunted, her breath ragged, her body trembling with a terror so visceral it clawed at her from the inside out. This wasn’t the kind of fear that came from paranoia or uncertainty. No—this was raw, consuming, and absolute. I had seen Elena guarded before, had watched her build walls so high no one dared to climb them. She was the type to push people away, to wield indifference like a blade. But this? This was different. This wasn’t anger. This wasn’t defiance. This wasn’t even desperation. This was fear in its purest, most primal form. And I had no idea why. I stood frozen, my mind racing through possibilities. What—or who—was she running from? Had someone hurt her? Had someone threatened her? The frantic way her eyes darted over her shoulder, the way her entire body shook as if something monstrous was right behind her, ready to strike—it sent a chill through me. I had been on my way to the club that night, lo

Chapter 0012 TRAPPED BY EVAN'S OBSESSION.. ELENA, Time seemed to slow as I stood frozen, watching the chaos unfold in front of me. My breath hitched in my throat, my voice trapped behind a wall of shock and dread. I wanted to say something—to stop this disaster from spiraling further out of control—but I couldn’t. Words failed me. Ryan, ever the reckless force of nature, attempted to salvage the situation, his voice urgent and desperate. But it was too late. Everything was already a mess. My heart pounded violently in my chest as I spun on my heel and raced downstairs. My pulse roared in my ears, my hands trembling as I reached for my phone. The screen blurred in my vision as I hurriedly ordered a cab. I couldn’t stay here. I couldn’t face this. Ryan called after me, his voice laced with something that almost sounded like regret. I didn’t stop. I didn’t turn around. The cold night air bit into my skin as I stood by the curb, my arms wrapped tightly around myself. My thoughts

Chapter 0013DREADING ON DANGEROUS PATHS.RYAN, After the disaster at my house, I hadn’t seen Elena. Days passed, but the rumors didn’t. The entire school was talking about us—about the way I had stood up for her, about the scandal that now clung to her name like a stain no one would let her wash away. I didn’t care what people said about me. They could whisper in the hallways, point fingers, smirk when I walked past. It meant nothing. But Elena? That was different. The school authorities had been oddly silent about the situation, which made me restless. I expected some sort of action—a meeting, a suspension, some kind of consequence—but there was nothing. The silence unnerved me because it felt like the calm before a storm. And then there was Emily. My fiancée. The woman I was supposed to love. The one my parents had chosen for me. She and her parents had made it clear that they wouldn’t stop until I fell in line. They wanted to force us together, to make things work, but I didn

Chapter 0014THE BEAUTIFUL LIE I LIVEDELENA,The sting of antiseptic bit into my wounds, sharp and unforgiving. When Evan wanted to hurt me the last time he got a call from someone, and when he was told what they wanted, he untied me.Whoever that was saved me that day. Evan was ready to kill us both rather than lose me. His obsession led him to do crazy things—to hurt me and make excuses that it was out of love, that I made him do it. I knew Evan loved me, but his demons were out for me.I winced, sucking in a breath, but exhaustion dulled most of the pain. It was just another wound, another moment of suffering, blending into the endless cycle I had come to endure."Ouch…," I murmured, forcing myself to sit still as the doctor worked. "How long do we have to keep doing this?""Until it heals," he replied matter-of-factly, his voice calm but indifferent. "Hopefully, you’ll start feeling better soon."Feeling better. The words felt foreign—meaningless. What did better even mean anymor

Chapter 0015TRAPPED IN HER GAMEELENA,Why did they want me?What could they possibly want from me?The question looped in my mind like a haunting melody I couldn’t silence. Every scenario I imagined left a heavy weight in my chest. Anxiety pressed against my ribs, wrapping around me like a tightening coil, making it impossible to breathe freely.Beside me, Evan was eerily silent. He hadn’t spoken a word since we left, his hands gripping the steering wheel with enough force to turn his knuckles ghostly white. I could hear the slight grind of his teeth every few seconds, a sound so soft yet filled with restrained fury. It made the air in the car thick, suffocating.I stole a glance at him. His sharp jaw was locked, his usually expressive green eyes unreadable. I knew this kind of quiet well—it was the kind that came before a storm.When we finally stepped inside the house, Evan’s patience snapped.“I don’t understand it.” His voice was low, but each word was charged with frustration a

CHAPTER 16THE ART OF REVENGE.EMILY,I saw the look on Elena’s face, and a thrill of satisfaction coursed through me.It was fleeting—just a flicker of shock, quickly masked behind that composed exterior she always wore—but I caught it. And it was enough.I had been waiting for this moment, the moment she realized that I wasn’t just going to stand aside and watch her take what was mine.Ryan belonged to me.I had spent years with him, building something real, something that was supposed to last. We were meant to be together. He had whispered those promises into my ear on countless nights, sworn his love to me under the moonlight.And then, like a thief in the night, she came along, stealing him away without a shred of remorse.The betrayal was unbearable.The humiliation, even worse.I could still hear the whispers, the hushed voices in the corridors, the pitying looks from those who knew. I could still feel the sting of their eyes on me, their silent judgment. The girl who had every

I NEED YOU, ELENA SAVED BY A STRANGER
Chapter 0087SAVED BY A STRANGERELENA,The man’s words hung in the air, charged with something I couldn’t quite place. They were heavier than I expected, their weight sinking into me like the last moments of a storm, just before the rain finally stops. I was still trying to process everything—his speed, his power, the way he shifted the entire atmosphere with just his presence. Every inch of the room seemed to bend toward him, and for a moment, I couldn’t remember how to breathe. But then his gaze lingered on me, and I noticed a subtle shift in his expression. It was fleeting, but it was there: a flash of something I recognized. Something so familiar, so deeply embedded in my memory that it made my heart skip. It wasn’t a flicker of recognition—no, this was deeper. It was more like a pull in my chest, a tug at my soul. I stared at him, blinking rapidly, trying to make sense of what I was seeing. The man in front of me—his sharp jawline, the intensity of his gaze, the way he stood l
I NEED YOU, ELENA RENEWED HOPE
Chapter 86RENEWED HOPE...ELENA,The air grew thick with tension as the man stepped into the dim light. At first, he was just a shadow, a silhouette cutting through the haze, but as he moved closer, his features sharpened. He was tall, broad-shouldered, with sharp, angular lines carved into a face that seemed both familiar and foreign. My eyes struggled to place him, to dig through the haze of memory and confusion and fear. Something about him triggered a strange feeling deep in my chest—a jolt of recognition that didn’t make sense. Who was he? Why did he feel like a name I had once known, spoken in the dark?But more than anything, it was his presence that unsettled me. His very energy thrummed with something primal, dangerous. The way his storm-grey eyes locked onto Jonathan was terrifying—cold, calculating, but also burning with something deeper, something older. I felt it in my gut, like an instinct carved into bone: this man was not to be underestimated. And yet, I wasn’t afraid
I NEED YOU, ELENA THE END BEGINS
Chapter 0085THE END BEGINSELENA, The warehouse was cold—bone-deep, soul-sinking cold. The silence stretched around me like a noose, thick and suffocating, wrapping tighter with each passing second. I sat in the hard metal chair, my wrists bound, the coarse texture of the chains biting into my skin. My hands trembled, though I tried desperately to still them. The faint clinking of the chains echoed off the concrete walls, too loud in the oppressive stillness.Jonathan’s presence loomed before me, his tall frame casting an elongated shadow beneath the flickering overhead light. His gaze, piercing and merciless, landed on me again. I could feel the chill of it against my skin, like ice sliding down my spine. But I refused to look at him. I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction. Instead, I focused on the shadows pooling in the corners of the room—dark, yawning stretches of black that seemed to breathe with silent menace.Time blurred. Seconds bled into minutes, minutes into a dragging, di
I NEED YOU, ELENA FREEDOM
CHAPTER 0084FREEDOMELENA,The car engine rumbled beneath me, its sound a low growl that matched the dark promise in Jonathan’s eyes. The night outside blurred into streaks of black and gray, the headlights cutting through the darkness like a razor. We were speeding away from everything I thought I could trust, everything I once believed was safe.I could still feel the blood on my hands—Evan’s blood. The weight of it was unbearable, as if it had soaked into my very soul. The sensation of his dying body in my arms, his breath faltering as his life drained away, haunted me. The last words he had whispered to me before he died echoed in my mind."Run."But where was I supposed to run now?Jonathan’s gaze was steady, almost predatory, from where he sat across from me. His presence loomed over me, cold and calculated, like a predator studying its prey. His fingers rested casually on his knees, his posture relaxed, as though none of this—none of the devastation he had caused—bothered him
I NEED YOU, ELENA THE MAN BEHIND THE MASK
CHAPTER 0083 THE MAN BEHIND THE MASK ELENA, Blood. It hit me first—sharp, metallic, unmistakable. The air thickened with it, seeping into my lungs, into my senses, suffocating. I didn’t need to look to know that Evelyn had cut me. Just enough to hurt. Enough to remind me this nightmare was real. But even that pain didn’t seem to matter. Because standing before me, materializing from the darkness like a ghost, was him. Jonathan. Alive. Smiling. I couldn’t breathe. My body trembled, not from fear, but from the shock of seeing him. This wasn’t possible. I had watched him fall. Watched his world burn to ashes. Yet there he was, standing in front of me, his eyes drinking in my disbelief. “Hello, sweetheart,” Jonathan said, as if nothing had changed, as if years hadn’t passed, as if he’d just returned from a casual business trip and not from the grave. I could barely keep my grip on consciousness. My body was stiff, frozen in place, caught in some cruel illusion.
I NEED YOU, ELENA ELENA'S PAST
Chapter 0082ELENA'S PAST.ELENA,Still lost in my thoughts, I noticed a shadow passed behind Evelyn.A tall figure stepped into the light, the realization made my heart stopJonathan.i recognized him in that instant, he had been here before and now here he was again. Tall and broad-shouldered, dressed in charcoal gray, his black hair still sharp at the edges, his jaw just as defined as the day I walked away. But it was his eyes that undid me—icy blue, like a frozen lake just before it shatters. Calculating. Cold. Dangerous.“Hello, Elena,” he said, his voice smooth like silk pulled too tight over a blade.I couldn’t move. I couldn’t think. Every nerve in my body was screaming—but I was frozen in place, trapped in a nightmare that had come back to life.He looked me over slowly, like a collector appraising an artifact he thought lost.“You look… different,” he said with a smirk. “But then again, so do I.”The words, his tone, the very air around him—it all cut deeper than I wanted t
I NEED YOU, ELENA BETRAYED AGAIN..
CHAPTER 0081BETRAYED AGAINELENA,The cold had seeped into everything. Not just the air around me—it was inside me, coiled around my ribs, buried deep in my muscles, swimming through my blood like ice water. It had been hours. Or maybe longer. Time had unraveled, stretched thin and meaningless, and I was left trying to grasp onto something real—some thread of thought that could anchor me.But there was nothing. Only pain and silence.The ropes binding me to the chair were no longer just restraints; they were part of me now. Twisted into my flesh. My wrists had gone numb long ago, but I could still feel the phantom pulse of pain where the coarse fibers had carved their signature. My ankles were just as bad—throbbing, raw, and heavy. I’d tried to shift, to move, but even that slight defiance had drained what little energy I had left.I was beyond exhaustion. Dehydrated. Starving. My lips were split open, my throat a desert that begged for water. My head throbbed with a dull pressure, a
I NEED YOU, ELENA UNDER ATTACK
CHAPTER 80UNDER ATTACK.ADRIAN,"Boss, maybe we should confirm before heading to the docks—" I said to Evan skeptical about going into the docks without full information."Just drive," Evan barked, cutting me off.His voice was sharp, tight with urgency, leaving no room for argument. The air in the car was thick, charged, and heavy with something just shy of violence. My fingers curled into fists as I stared out the windshield, my heart hammering like a war drum, each beat a reminder of how much time we were wasting.I didn’t argue after that.The tires screeched as he swerved through the late-night traffic, weaving between cars like a predator hunting in the dark. Streetlights flashed past in bursts of white and gold, the reflection shimmering on the wet pavement as we tore forward, leaving nothing but the roar of the engine behind us.I pulled out my phone, fingers moving fast as I dialed.One ring.Two.Three.And then it went up to voicemail.Damn it.I muttered a curse under my
I NEED YOU, ELENA A GHOST
Chapter 0079 A GHOST ELENA, I laid down in the room, my mind filled with who the man was and what he wanted from me. For the first time, I wanted Evan to be here. If he was, he would be able to get me out of here. I was Evan's captive, but I wasn’t locked up with darkness crawling up over me. The darkness had been there, but now— The darkness was worse this time. It wasn’t just an absence of light—it was a presence. Heavy. Watching. I could feel it pressing in, curling around me like an unseen force, suffocating yet intangible. My breath came in shallow gasps, each inhale filling my lungs with the taste of dust and fear. The cold slithered over my skin like skeletal fingers, wrapping around me in a suffocating grip. I drew my knees to my chest, tucking myself into the smallest space possible, as if that could protect me from whatever lurked beyond the void. I didn’t know how long I had been here. Time had ceased to exist in this place. The silence stretched endlessly, coiling
