Sophia knew she should resist.

She knew she should fight back against the possessive certainty in Rafael’s voice.

But the moment his fingers brushed against her skin, all reason evaporated.

"You don’t own me," she whispered, though the words sounded weak even to her own ears.

Rafael smirked.

His grip on her chin tightened slightly, tilting her face up so she had no choice but to meet his gaze.

"Say it again," he murmured, his voice like velvet-wrapped steel. "Convince yourself, if you can."

Her pulse pounded.

"You don’t—"

He cut her off.

Not with words.

But with a kiss.

It wasn’t gentle.

It was devouring, consuming, a kiss that burned with the force of all the things he hadn’t said.

Sophia gasped against his lips, her hands instinctively pressing against his chest—to push him away, or to pull him closer, she didn’t know.

Rafael took the choice from her.

In one swift motion, he backed her against the wall, pinning her beneath him.

"You feel that, piccola?" he murmured against her lips.

  • Torn by Obsession    Chapter 25 The Chains Of Possession

    Sophia could still feel the ghost of Rafael’s touch long after he had stepped away.His words—You belong to me.They weren’t just a statement.They were a warning.A declaration of ownership.And the worst part?A dark, twisted part of her wanted it to be true.Wanted to be his.But that realization terrified her.Because Rafael DeLuca wasn’t just a man.He was a storm, a fire, a predator.And she wasn’t sure if she wanted to escape him—or burn with him.A Dangerous GameThe next morning, Sophia woke up to the smell of coffee and something rich, something decadent.She blinked, disoriented, before realizing she wasn’t in her own bed.She was in Rafael’s.The sheets were soft, silken, infused with his scent—cologne, smoke, and something unmistakably him.Heat crept up her neck as she recalled the night before.His touch.His words.The way he had stripped her of every illusion she had of being in control.She sat up quickly, her pulse pounding.The door to the bedroom swung open.Rafae

  • Torn by Obsession    Chapter 26 Whispers of betrayal

    Sophia’s heart was still racing as Rafael dragged her through the dimly lit alley, his grip like **iron** on her wrist. He had just **killed a man** in front of her. Without hesitation. Without remorse. But it wasn’t just the violence that made her pulse quicken. It was the **rage in his eyes**—the sheer, raw **fear** behind it. For a second, she thought she saw something deeper beneath his fury. Something **fragile.** Something **dangerous.** But that was impossible. Because Rafael DeLuca wasn’t fragile. He was **a monster.** And **monsters didn’t break.** Only other people did. --- ### **The Storm Inside Rafael** He didn’t speak as they got into the car, his body radiating tension as he gripped the steering wheel. Sophia swallowed hard. She should be terrified of him. After all, she had just watched him **execute a man in cold blood.** But instead, she was **angry.** "You can’t keep treating me like a prisoner," she snapped. Rafael’s knuckle

    Rafael stood at the floor-to-ceiling window of his penthouse, staring out over the city he controlled. The skyline glowed with a thousand artificial lights, but he wasn’t looking at them. He was **thinking.** Somewhere in his empire, a **traitor** was hiding in plain sight. Someone who had **sold him out.** And that someone had nearly gotten **Sophia killed.** His fingers curled into fists. He was going to find them. And when he did— **They would beg for death.** --- ### **Sophia’s Awakening** Sophia watched Rafael from across the room. There was a storm brewing in him. One she wasn’t sure she wanted to see unleashed. He had already killed one man tonight. How many more bodies would fall before this war was over? She swallowed hard. A week ago, she would have been **horrified** by the violence. Now, she wasn’t sure what she felt. Fear? Or something darker? Because when Rafael had pressed that gun into her hands earlier, guiding her fingers over

    The night air was thick with smoke and the acrid scent of gunpowder. Rafael **pulled Sophia through the alley**, his grip firm on her wrist as gunfire erupted behind them. Her breath was ragged, her heart hammering against her ribs. They had barely escaped. The shootout at **The Snake Pit** had been unexpected—an ambush. Someone had **set them up.** Someone **inside** Rafael’s organization. But that wasn’t what had Sophia’s head spinning. No. It was the weight of the gun still in her trembling hands. The way her fingers had curled around the trigger. The deafening **crack** as she fired. The man she had shot **staggering back**, blood darkening his shirt. Her first kill. Her breath hitched, nausea rising in her throat. She had been trained to shoot, had gone to the range countless times, but this… This was **real.** This was **death.** And there was no taking it back. --- ### **A Desperate Escape** Rafael yanked her into an abandoned warehouse

    The warehouse door groaned as Rafael pushed it open. Cold night air rushed in, carrying the distant echoes of sirens and gunfire. Sophia hesitated at the threshold. This was it. The moment she truly stepped into **his world.** She wasn’t just the woman Rafael had stolen anymore. She wasn’t just his captive. She was **something else.** Something **darker.** And Rafael **knew it.** His hand reached back, fingers curling around her wrist. "Come," he murmured. And she **did.** She followed him into the night, into the world of blood, vengeance, and ruthless power. --- ### **A City That Bleeds** The black SUV idled near the alley, engine humming softly. Inside, Rafael’s second-in-command, **Javier**, waited. His dark eyes flicked to Sophia as they climbed in. "She’s coming?" Javier asked, brows raising slightly. Rafael slid into the seat, his tone **lethal.** "She’s already here." Sophia didn’t know if he meant the car or something deeper. But

  • Torn by Obsession    Chapter 30 A Lesson in Loyalty

    The drive back to Rafael’s penthouse was **silent**. Sophia sat beside him in the SUV, her body still tense from what she had witnessed. She wasn’t the same woman Rafael had stolen from her quiet, ordinary life. **Not anymore.** She had watched a man beg for mercy. Watched **Rafael give none.** And instead of fear… **She felt something else.** A dark curiosity. An understanding of why Rafael was the way he was. The world he ruled didn’t allow weakness. And if she wanted to survive in it—if she wanted to understand **him**—she had to embrace that truth. **No room for hesitation.** No room for **mercy.** --- ### **The Penthouse: A Kingdom of Sin** The elevator doors slid open. Sophia stepped inside, Rafael right behind her. The moment they entered the penthouse, she felt the tension shift. This wasn’t just a home. It was **his throne.** A place built for a king who ruled in the shadows. Everything here was **sharp, cold, and expensive.** Lik

  • Torn by Obsession    Chapter 31 The cost of Submission

    The city sprawled beneath them, the lights casting shadows that danced on the cold glass of the penthouse windows. Sophia’s breath was shallow, her heart pounding as Rafael’s presence loomed over her. She could feel the heat radiating from his body, could hear the low, dangerous beat of his pulse in the silence between them. Her back was pressed against the glass, the world outside distant, muted—like another life, another time. Inside the penthouse, however, there was nothing but the intensity of Rafael’s touch, the overwhelming power of his gaze. Sophia’s body betrayed her, responding to his every movement, every shift of his weight. She could feel his power, the way he commanded the room without lifting a finger. "Tell me," he whispered, his breath warm against her ear, "do you like this, angel?" Sophia clenched her fists by her side. She was no longer the frightened woman who had been taken from her life and thrown into his world. She was something else now—something d

    The car ride was silent, the city lights flashing past in a blur of color, like the memories of everything she had left behind. Each passing second felt heavier than the last, the weight of what had happened, what was still happening, pressing down on Sophia like a vice. Her mind raced, thoughts spinning like a whirlpool. The events of the night—the raw, unrelenting passion, the dark lessons—were still fresh in her memory, etched into her skin. It was more than just sex. It was a claim. A statement. Rafael was making her his, in every possible way. The soft hum of the car’s engine was the only sound, broken only by Rafael’s occasional, clipped orders to the driver. He was a man of few words, his presence dominating the space between them. Sophia couldn’t help but glance at him, at the cold, calculating man who had taken her, who had shaped her into something else entirely. His jaw was clenched, his eyes narrowed as he stared out the window, deep in thought. His silence was unn

  • Torn by Obsession    Chapter 199: Closing of Old Chapters

    The world had finally settled into the new order they had created, one where no shadow loomed over them, no one could touch them. Rafael and Sophia stood together, watching as the final remnants of their past—betrayers, enemies, and false allies—vanished like smoke in the wind. They had survived the impossible, built their empire from nothing, and now, they stood as untouchable rulers in a world that once sought to destroy them.In the quiet aftermath of victory, Rafael had taken a step back, allowing himself a rare moment of reflection.

  • Torn by Obsession    Chapter 198: The Final Kill

    The empire that Rafael and Sophia had built was now solidified—unshakable, ruthless, and complete. The dust had settled from the betrayals, and the once chaotic world they had inherited now lay beneath their iron rule. Yet, despite the blood spilled, the power seized, and the enemies vanquished, there was still one final matter to settle.This was not just about eliminating a threat; it was about sending a message. The final kill was not for the empire—it was for something far more personal. A betrayal had cut deeper than any before. And this time, there would be no forgiveness.---The Betrayer: A Familiar FaceThe man who had once been Rafael’s most trusted confidant, now an enemy, had stayed in the shadows far too long. Marcus, a man who had stood by Rafael’s side through every major victory, had somehow grown disillusioned with their rise. A hunger for more had driven him to question Rafael’s rule, to seek out alliances with enemies who had once been beneath him.Marcus had been t

    The air in the underground meeting room was thick with tension. Rafael sat at the head of the table, his posture rigid, his eyes dark with an intensity that made the very walls feel oppressive. Sophia sat beside him, her presence a calm but deadly contrast to the storm brewing around them. Their empire had been built on loyalty and fear, but as they neared the final stage of consolidating power, they both knew it was only a matter of time before the cracks began to show.The traitors had been lurking in the shadows for months, their whispers growing louder, their betrayal more certain. Rafael had always known that power was a double-edged sword. It attracted loyalty—but it also bred envy and treachery. The last phase of their rise had seen old alliances tested, and now, the pieces were falling into place.---The First Betrayal: An Old AllyThe first betrayal came from an unexpected source—Alessandro. He had been one of Rafael's most trusted allies, a man who had helped him build the

    The moon hung high in the sky, casting its cold light across the sprawling city beneath. Rafael stood at the window of their private penthouse, the city’s skyline stretching out before him like an endless sea of glass and steel. The lights blinked and flickered, a reflection of the empire he had built—one of shadows, power, and fear.But as he stood there, a rare moment of reflection overtook him. The weight of everything he had accomplished, everything he had sacrificed, pressed against him like a shadow. The bloodshed, the betrayal, the endless hours of strategizing and planning—it was all part of the journey. But now, with Sophia by his side, something deeper stirred within him. A sense of purpose that went beyond just ruling the underworld.He turned, finding Sophia standing at the far side of the room, her silhouette dark and alluring against the dim light. She had been his constant, his equal, and his partner in this ruthless game. Together, they had become an unstoppable force,

  • Torn by Obsession    Chapter 195: Sophia Fully Embracing Her Power

    Sophia stood at the head of the long, polished table in the private war room, her dark eyes glinting with a steely resolve. The room was a place where decisions were made, where lives were altered in an instant. Tonight, it felt like the weight of the entire empire rested on her shoulders.Rafael stood beside her, his presence a quiet, looming force. They were no longer just partners in a relationship; they were equals. This was no longer a game of power—this was war, and they had learned to play it with a brutality that matched the world they ruled.---The TransformationWeeks had passed since the wedding, and Sophia could feel the transformation within her. The woman who had once been hesitant, unsure, and at times overwhelmed by the darkness, was gone. In her place stood a queen of shadows—someone who didn’t flinch when confronted with bloodshed, someone who understood that mercy had no place in this world.“We do this together,” Rafael said, his deep voice a low murmur as he lean

  • Torn by Obsession    Chapter 194: Aftermath of the Wedding

    The morning after the wedding, the empire felt the tremors. The death of Marcus was just the beginning. As the sun rose, it illuminated the crumbling remains of what was once a fragmented world of power—a world now held together by blood and loyalty, bound by a union that could never be undone.Rafael De León and Sophia had crowned themselves as the dark monarchs of a world that had always whispered their names in fear. The wedding, the vows, the bloodshed—it was all a message to the underworld.They were untouchable—for now.---The Empire Begins to StirNews of Marcus’s assassination spread like wildfire, sending shockwaves through the De León empire. There was no question that the attempted coup had been swift and deadly, but it left behind a ripple of uncertainty.

He stared at the surveillance footage of Marcus

  • Torn by Obsession    Chapter 193: The Dark Wedding

    The moon hung high like a silent witness, casting a silver sheen over the sprawling De León estate. Black roses lined the marble aisles, their petals laced with gold dust. Candles flickered like flames of the underworld, casting dancing shadows on masked guests—elite criminals, mafia bosses, mercenaries, and dignitaries who ruled the world from behind veils of violence.Tonight wasn’t just a wedding.It was a coronation.Sophia stood in a mirrored chamber, her black wedding dress dripping with crystals and obsidian beads, clinging to her like a second skin. Her eyes were lined with kohl, sharp and piercing. The veil was sheer, seductive, and haunting.She looked like death in heels.And Rafael had never been more in love.---The CeremonyThe altar was not in a church, but under an arch of thorns wrapped in blood-red silk, flanked by gunmen and candles shaped like skulls.

    The world outside was still—a rare silence blanketing the city that had once screamed with chaos, gunfire, and betrayal. But inside the mansion, the shadows that had long ruled Rafael’s life seemed softer now, gentler. Just for this night.Sophia sat by the window in his private study, wrapped in one of his black silk shirts, her bare legs folded beneath her. The city lights flickered in the distance like dying stars, casting a golden hue over her skin. She looked out, not at the skyline, but beyond it—into the future that neither of them thought they’d survive to see.Rafael stood behind her in silence, leaning against the frame of the door, watching her like a man trying to memorize the only moment of peace he had ever known.No guards.No blood.No enemies at the gates.Just her.And him.Together.He finally moved, his steps soundless on the polished floor, and knelt behind her, sliding his arms around her waist.
