THE BILLIONAIRE’S OBSESSION THE PRICE OF HIS WORLD
The moment Helena disappeared into the crowd, the atmosphere shifted. The music no longer sounded elegant it felt distant, like background noise in a storm that had just begun to brew. Sienna leaned back against the balcony railing, trying to catch her breath. Her heart was racing, not just from Helena’s warning, but from the sudden realization that she was no longer just a guest in Damien’s life she was now a target.“You didn’t have to defend me like that,” she said quietly, though her chest warmed at how fiercely Damien had stood up for her.“Yes, I did,” Damien said, still staring in the direction Helena had vanished. “This world it’s filled with people who smile at your face while calculating your downfall. You don’t owe them politeness, Sienna. You owe yourself protection.”Sienna reached for his hand. “Then protect me… but don’t shut me out.”Damien looked at her, something raw flickering in his eyes. “That’s what I’m most afraid of. That to protect you, I’ll have to shut down

The night was quiet, but Sienna’s mind wasn’t. She sat alone on the balcony of Damien’s penthouse, the city lights glimmering below like tiny stars mocking the chaos inside her heart. Her fingers trembled as she held the wine glass, untouched, while the breeze danced through her hair. Every sound felt amplified. The clink of the glass. The whisper of the wind. Her heartbeat thudding in her chest like a warning bell she didn’t understand.Damien hadn’t come home. Again.Her eyes drifted to the unopened text on her phone. One word from him could have settled her storm. But instead, silence screamed louder than any excuse.She rose to her feet, pacing the balcony floor in bare feet. The chill of the tiles grounded her. Or maybe it reminded her that she was still real still here still waiting for a man who was slipping through her fingers like smoke.When the door finally opened behind her, she turned around instantly. And there he was.Damien.Disheveled. Tired. And smelling faintly of c

Sienna stood at the far end of the hotel suite, staring out through the glass wall that overlooked the city skyline. The lights twinkled like a thousand little lies beautiful, distant, and cold. Behind her, silence pressed heavily against the room, broken only by the soft hum of the air conditioner and the erratic thud of her own heart.She didn’t need to turn around to know he was there.She could feel him.His presence always arrived like a storm quiet at first, then loud enough to consume everything.Damien had barely shut the door when he stopped, watching her from across the room. Her back was turned, her body still wrapped in the silk robe he had seen her wear that morning. But everything about her felt different now. Tighter. Guarded.He took a careful step forward. "You left without a word," he said, his voice low but clear.Sienna didn’t answer. Her fingers clenched around the edge of the glass table, her knuckles white."I woke up and you were gone." Another step. "No note

Sienna had barely slept.The shadows of the night clung to her skin like invisible chains. Even with Damien beside her, her mind refused to quiet down. Every word he had said played on a loop in her head, especially the parts that hurt the most the secrets, the engagement, the threat to her father’s name. Her heart wanted to forgive, but her instincts were already sensing something darker approaching.She sat up slowly in bed, Damien’s arm draped across her waist. She looked down at him, eyes softened with affection and pain. How could someone be her peace and her storm all at once?His lids fluttered open as if sensing her shift.“You’re not running again, are you?” he murmured, voice thick with sleep.Sienna gave a faint smile. “I think I’ve run out of places to go.”He reached for her hand under the sheets, his fingers warm and steady.“Then stay,” he said simply.“I am,” she whispered. “But something’s coming, Damien. I can feel it.”His jaw tightened slightly. “You’re right.”Tha

The black SUV pulled away from the curb in a slow, calculated motion. The man behind the wheel wore dark shades and a stony expression, but his eyes remained fixed on the towering skyscraper in his rearview mirror. In his hand was a silenced pistol. Under the driver’s seat lay a dossier with one name circled in red ink.Sienna Carter.His instructions had been clear.No witnesses.No hesitation.Inside the high-rise building, Damien’s office buzzed with quiet urgency. Armed security personnel lined the halls in civilian disguise. Surveillance feeds rotated on the giant screens behind Adrian’s desk. Everyone was on edge, yet pretending to function like it was just another Monday.Sienna sat near the large glass window, a steaming cup of chamomile tea in her hands, but her nerves refused to settle. Every time a phone rang or footsteps echoed outside the door, her heart jumped.“You don’t have to stay here,” Damien said gently, coming over to sit beside her.She looked at him. “I’m not r

The silence between them was louder than any argument. Damien hadn’t said a word since they returned. He sat at the edge of the bed, staring down at the gun resting on the nightstand like it was a reflection of everything he didn’t want to admit. Sienna stood near the window, watching the city lights flicker in the distance, each glow a reminder of how far her life had shifted from anything normal. She turned around slowly. You don’t really think Adrian betrayed you Damien didn’t answer immediately. His fingers ran along the edge of the table, tension pulsing through every movement I don’t know what to think anymore. She walked over and sat beside him, close enough that their shoulders touched Adrian saved your life. He’s been with you through every war. Every enemy. And maybe that’s the problem. His voice was hollow He knows too much. And if he’s the reason Kane Mercer was sent after you— He didn’t finish the sentence. Sienna took his hand. Her heart ached f

The wind howled outside as rain lashed against the tall windows of the penthouse. Lightning cracked across the sky, painting jagged shadows on the marble floor. Inside, the atmosphere was heavy, like the entire building was holding its breath. The storm was nothing compared to what was happening between them.Sienna stood in the hallway, barefoot and frozen, her reflection staring back at her from the tall mirror. But it wasn’t her not really. Not anymore. The woman in the mirror looked the same, but something behind her eyes had changed.Everything she thought she knew had been shatteredEvery memory suddenly felt borrowedEvery breath felt like it belonged to someone elseA projectAn experimentNot just a target, but a blueprintHer hand touched the cool glass of the mirror.

The walls felt colder tonight. Not because the penthouse thermostat had dropped but because Damien wasn’t there. And his absence had never felt so loud.Sienna sat by the floor-length windows, her knees hugged tightly to her chest, the city lights painting golden streaks across her skin. Cars passed below. Horns blared. The world kept moving. But hers had stopped two days ago.Two days since he vanished without a trace.She had gone to the office. Questioned Adrian. Called every number in Damien’s phone. Nothing. All she had gotten were clipped answers, suspicious glances, and apologies laced with fear. It wasn’t just that Damien had disappeared it was that no one dared speak his name.Her fingers trembled as she checked her phone again.Still nothing.The last message he sent her was short. “Trust me. No matter what happens.”She had reread it so many times it had become etched in her brain like a scar.A sudden knock shattered the silence.She jumped, her heart leaping in panic. For

THE BILLIONAIRE’S OBSESSION SHATTERING THE LIMIT
The sun was barely rising, casting a soft, golden glow over the expansive city skyline. Sienna stood by the window, her eyes tracing the familiar view, but today it felt different. It felt like everything was on the brink of change like they were standing at the edge of something monumental.She turned from the window, walking slowly toward the table where the pile of documents lay. Each paper represented a milestone, a goal they had accomplished. Yet, despite all they had achieved, Sienna knew that the true challenge was still ahead of them.

From the balcony of their penthouse, the view was breathtaking but it was the quiet, content feeling inside Sienna that made the moment perfect. After all the turmoil, the ups and downs, they had finally reached a place where they could breathe easy. For the first time in what felt like forever, the world outside felt like it could wait.She stepped back inside, the cool air brushing her skin as she crossed the room. Damien was at the desk, his brow furrowed in concentration as he examined some documents. As much as he’d grown accustomed to the demands of business, there was always that moment when he could get lost in the work, pushing aside everything else. Sienna smiled, a knowing smile she’d seen him do this a thousand times.“Hard at work again, huh?” she teased, leaning against the doorframe.Damien glanced over his shoulder, his lips curving into a grin when he saw her. “You know me too well,

Despite the pressures of the business, the looming challenges, and the external noise, they had found a rhythm, a balance that allowed them to not only survive but thrive together.The conference room was filled with the quiet hum of discussions and the soft rustling of papers. Damien stood at the head of the table, his eyes scanning the room as he addressed the team.

The air was thick with the scent of fresh coffee, and the hum of the city below seemed distant, a reminder of the world outside. Inside the comfort of their home, everything was still, as if time itself had slowed down just for them.Damien sat at the kitchen table, his gaze focused on the open notebook in front of him. The papers were scattered with ideas, plans, and goals — a map for the future. But despite his determination, his mind was elsewhere. There was a restlessness inside him that he couldn’t shake, a nagging feeling that no matter how much they achieved, something was still missing.Sienna entered the room, her presence a calming force as always. She had a way of easing the tension in the air, making everything feel manageable, even when it wasn’t.

She had a way of making everything feel less overwhelming, as if the world could be taken one step at a time.

It had been a long few days. The weight of the company, of the future, pressed on him more than he cared to admit. Every decision felt monumental

THE BILLIONAIRE’S OBSESSION THE FIRE THAT BURNS WITHIN
Damien woke to the soft glow of the morning sun creeping through the curtains. The weight of the night before still lingered in the air, heavy with the unspoken words and the promise of what was to come.
