WALKING AWAY

last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2025-03-14 00:23:57

Sienna sat stiffly in the back of the sleek black car, her arms folded across her chest as Daniel drove her home. The city buzzed around them, neon lights reflecting off the tinted windows, but inside, everything felt eerily still.

She hated the silence.

Hated the way it made her thoughts louder.

Daniel hadn’t said much since they left Damien’s penthouse, but she could feel his gaze flickering toward her through the rearview mirror.

She clenched her jaw. “How long are you going to keep looking at me like that?”

Daniel sighed. “Like what?”

“Like I’m about to shatter.”

His grip on the steering wheel tightened. “I didn’t say that.”

“You didn’t have to.”

Another heavy silence filled the car, stretching between them like an open wound.

Sienna turned to the window, watching as the city lights blurred past. She should have known this would happen. She should have never let herself believe that Damien was capable of change.

But she had.

And now, she was paying the pric

  • THE BILLIONAIRE’S OBSESSION    SHATTERED ILLUSIONS

    Sienna sat in the dim glow of her apartment, her thoughts a tangled mess. The clock on the wall ticked away the hours, but time felt meaningless. She had told herself she was done that she wouldn’t let Damien Carter keep pulling her into his storm. And yet, here she was. Waiting. Hoping. Damn it, why? She clenched her fists. She should be furious. She was furious. But underneath the anger was something far worse disappointment. She had let herself believe last night meant something. That when Damien looked at her, touched her, held her in his arms, it was more than just physical. She had felt something in the way he kissed her. But maybe she was a fool for thinking he had felt it, too. A sharp knock at her door made her heart lurch. She froze. It was late too late for anyone to just drop by.And after everything, there was only one person she wanted it to be. Don’t do this to yourself, she warned. But her feet were already moving. With a deep breath, she pul

  • THE BILLIONAIRE’S OBSESSION    THE SPACE BETWEEN US

    Sienna sat curled up on her couch, staring blankly at the city skyline through her window. The glow of neon lights flickered against the glass, but she barely registered them. Her chest was tight, her thoughts a tangled mess of emotions she couldn’t quite untangle. She had walked away from Damien. And for the first time, she hadn’t looked back. But then why did it feel like she had left a piece of herself behind? A sharp knock at the door made her jolt upright. Her heart stuttered. For a split second, she let herself believe let herself hope that maybe… maybe it was him. But she pushed the thought away just as quickly. Damien wasn’t the kind of man who chased after people. He let them go. And she had made her choice. Squaring her shoulders, she rose to her feet and walked to the door, forcing herself to take a steadying breath before pulling it open. It wasn’t Damien. It was Claire. The moment her best friend saw her face, she sighed. “Oh, honey…” Sienna bl

  • THE BILLIONAIRE’S OBSESSION    RUNNING OUT OF TIME

    Sienna had spent the last forty-eight hours trying to convince herself that she was okay. That leaving Damien was the right thing to do. That she didn’t miss him. But God, she did. She missed him in ways that made her chest ache, in ways she didn’t even know were possible. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw him. The way his jaw had tensed when she told him she couldn’t keep waiting. The flicker of something pain, regret, fear in his dark eyes before he shut it all down. She wanted to hate him. It would have been so much easier if she did. But she couldn’t. Because no matter how much Damien Carter infuriated her, broke her, destroyed her… She still loved him. And that was the worst part. Sienna ran a hand through her hair, forcing herself to focus as she scrolled through emails on her laptop. Work was the only thing keeping her sane right now. Her father had sent her a few reports to review, and there was an upcoming board meeting she needed to prepar

    Sienna paced her apartment, her hands trembling as she replayed the phone call over and over in her mind. Every instinct screamed at her to let it go to not get sucked back into Damien’s world. But this wasn’t just about her anymore. Whoever that man was, he knew things. Dangerous things. And if there was one thing she had learned about Damien Carter, it was that his world was never safe. Her pulse pounded as she grabbed her coat and keys. She was going back to him. Even if it meant walking straight into the fire. Damien was in his office, drowning in work he didn’t give a damn about.The city lights stretched far below him, casting a glow over his desk, but his thoughts were elsewhere. On her. He hated how much space she took up in his mind. Hated that every time he closed his eyes, he saw her walking away. But the worst part? He had let her go. His grip tightened around his glass of whiskey, but before he could take a sip, his office door flew open. H

  • THE BILLIONAIRE’S OBSESSION    INTO THE SHADOWS

    Sienna sat stiffly in the passenger seat of Damien’s sleek black Aston Martin as it cut through the city streets like a knife through velvet. She could feel the tension rolling off him in waves, his hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles turned white. She had never seen him like this before so rigid, so barely in control of the fury simmering just beneath the surface. It should have scared her. Maybe it did. But not as much as the voice on the phone had. Not as much as the realization that someone was out there, watching, waiting, ready to use her as a pawn in whatever twisted game they were playing with Damien. “Where are we going?” she asked, breaking the silence. Damien’s jaw clenched. “Somewhere safe.” His voice was clipped, controlled, but she wasn’t stupid. She heard the layers beneath it. He was barely holding it together. She glanced at him, taking in the sharp angles of his face, the storm brewing in his eyes. “You don’t have to do thi

  • THE BILLIONAIRE’S OBSESSION    THE COST OF VENGEANCE

    Damien's face was stone, his grip on the phone tightening until his knuckles turned white. The rage simmering beneath his calm exterior was dangerous like a storm gathering strength, ready to consume anything in its path. Sienna's heart pounded. Leo was more than just an employee to Damien. He was family. And Moretti knew that. "Damien," she said carefully, stepping closer. "We have to think this through." His jaw clenched. "There's nothing to think about." "Yes, there is," she argued. "Moretti wants something. If you go charging in without a plan, you'll be playing right into his hands." His gaze snapped to hers, sharp and unrelenting. "And what do you suggest? That I sit back and wait for him to send Leo back in pieces?" She flinched at his words but refused to back down. "I'm saying we need leverage." His brow furrowed. "We have nothing to bargain with," he said bitterly. Sienna inhaled sharply, the gears in her mind turning. Moretti wasn't doing this for spor

    The meeting was set for midnight. A secluded warehouse by the docks neutral ground, or as close to it as they could get. Sienna paced the penthouse, anxiety clawing at her chest. Every instinct screamed at her that this was a trap. Moretti wasn’t the kind of man to negotiate. He was the kind of man who made promises with a knife to your throat. Damien stood by the window, his back to her, staring at the city below. He hadn’t said much since the call. But she could feel the storm raging inside him. "You're sure about this?" she asked, breaking the silence. He turned, his gaze unreadable. "No." The admission sent a chill through her. Damien Carter never admitted uncertainty. She crossed the room, standing in front of him. "Then let's find another way." His jaw tensed. "There *is* no other way, Sienna." "Yes, there is," she argued. "You just don’t like it." His eyes flickered with something dark. "And what would that be?" She hesitated. "Walk away. Leave the city. Let

    The gunshot split the air, a deafening crack that sent shockwaves through the warehouse. Damien didn’t hesitate. Before Moretti’s men could react, he lunged. The nearest guard barely had time to raise his weapon before Damien grabbed his wrist and twisted. Bone snapped, the gun clattering to the ground. He drove his elbow into the man’s throat, sending him choking to his knees. Another one charged. Damien pivoted, dodging the blow and slamming his fist into the guy’s ribcage. He heard a satisfying crunch. Then someone grabbed him from behind. A thick arm wrapped around his throat, yanking him back. He struggled, but the bastard was strong. Moretti stood a few feet away, watching the chaos with amusement. “Tsk, tsk. I really hoped you’d play nice, Damien.” Damien growled, slamming his head back. He felt the crunch of a nose breaking as the grip around his throat loosened. He didn’t waste a second. He spun, yanking the gun from the guy’s belt and firing. The man dr

Everything had changed and yet, it had stayed the same.Behind her, the door creaked open, and she didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. Damien’s presence filled the room, a constant in a world that had shifted beneath their feet. She smiled, her heart swelling with a mix of pride and satisfaction. It had been a long, arduous journey, but every step had been worth it.Damien’s voice broke the silence. “We did it.”Sienna turned to face him, her gaze unwavering. “No, we’re doing it,” she corrected him, her voice steady and filled with the unshakeable confidence that had carried them through it all. “This is just the beginning.

    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. This wasn’t just about building a business anymore. It was about changing lives, shifting paradigms, and leaving a legacy that would echo for generations.Damien entered the room just then, his footsteps steady and purposeful. He didn’t need to say anything; his presence was enough to fill the room with energy. His gaze locked onto Sienna’s, and in that moment, she knew exactly what he was thinking.

    The city lights blinked below them, a sea of neon that stretched out into the horizon. 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,

    The days felt like they were slipping through their fingers, each one moving faster than the last. Yet, in the chaos of their ever-expanding world, there was a sense of calm that settled between Sienna and Damien. 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. Every word that left his mouth carried authority, but it was his presence that commanded the most attention. He was no longer the man who had first stepped into the business world with uncertainty. He was a leader, a visionary, and with Sienna by his side, he felt invincible.Sienna sat across from him, her gaze never straying far from him. They had been through so much together, and now, as they worked side by

    The morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room. 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 moved toward the counter to pour herself a cup of coffee, her eyes briefly meeting Damien’s before she took a seat across from him.“You’v

    The night was quiet, the kind of stillness that made everything feel suspended in time. Damien sat at his desk, the soft glow of the desk lamp illuminating the papers in front of him. The city lights twinkled through the window, offering a distant sense of life that felt worlds away from the weight on his shoulders. The decisions he had made, the paths he had taken, had all led him here but now, more than ever, it felt like the beginning of something new.Sienna entered the room, her presence as calming as always. She had a way of making everything feel less overwhelming, as if the world could be taken one step at a time. She paused by the door for a moment, watching him, before crossing the room to join him at his side.“You’ve been at this for hours,” she said, her voice gentle but firm. “You need to rest.”Damien sighed, rubbing his eyes. 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 following days were a whirlwind of decisions, meetings, and paperwork, but amidst the chaos, there was something different. The weight that had burdened Damien’s shoulders for so long had been lifted, and with it came a sense of clarity. The battle for control, the fight against Grayson, was over. And yet, it felt like the real work was just beginning.As the sun set over the city, casting a golden hue across the skyline, Damien found himself standing on the balcony of his penthouse, his hands resting on the cold steel railing.

She had been a constant in the storm, and now, as they stood together in the calm, she was more than ever the person who anchored him.“How are you feeling?” Sienna asked softly, her voice carrying a note of concern, though her eyes were filled with a quiet pride.Damien took a deep breath, the weight

  • 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. The decision to fight back against Grayson had been made, but the path ahead was uncertain, filled with danger and the kind of tension that could break even the strongest of wills.Sienna was still asleep beside him, her presence a steady comfort in the chaos of his mind.

    The hours following the heated exchange in Damien’s office blurred into a whirlwind of decisions, phone calls, and strategizing. It was a fight but not just with Grayson. It was with everything they had built, everything Damien had ever known, and everything Sienna had been willing to risk. The weight of the future was too heavy for just one person to carry, but together, they were starting to shoulder it.That evening, as they drove back to Damien’s penthouse, the streets outside felt oddly still. Like the world had paused, waiting. But inside the car, the tension was palpable. The quiet between them was more of a calculation, a recognition of what they’d both just done what they’d risked. Sienna’s hand was firmly in his, a silent gesture of solidarity.Damien gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles white.
