최신 업데이트:
2025-03-27 00:26:47The hum of the engine was steady, the car’s interior thick with tension. Sophia’s body trembled, every muscle tight as she fought against the reality of what had just happened. She had been taken. Stolen from the safety of her quiet life and thrown into the hands of a man who radiated power and danger.
The leather seat beneath her felt too soft, too luxurious, a cruel contrast to the fear gripping her chest. Her wrists were still trapped in the iron-like grasp of the man beside her—Rafael De Luca. The name meant nothing to her, but the way he carried himself, the way he looked at her like she was already his, sent ice-cold terror down her spine. Sophia’s breath came fast, erratic. Her heart pounded violently against her ribs, but she refused to sit still. She twisted in his grip, kicking her legs, trying to push herself away from him. "Let me go!" she screamed, her voice cracking with desperation. Rafael didn’t flinch. If anything, amusement flickered in those emerald-green eyes as he watched her struggle. Watched. Like he was enjoying this. "You’re only exhausting yourself, bella," he murmured, his voice smooth and composed, as if her attempts at escape were nothing more than a mild inconvenience. Sophia’s hands balled into fists. "Who the hell are you?" she demanded, trying to mask the tremor in her voice with anger. He exhaled slowly, tilting his head, as if considering whether she deserved an answer. Then he leaned in, so close she could feel the warmth of his breath against her cheek. "The man who owns you now," he said softly. Her stomach twisted violently, nausea rising in her throat. "You’re insane!" she hissed, jerking against him, her nails digging into his wrist. Rafael let out a low chuckle. "Insane? No. Just determined." Sophia’s body was shaking. This couldn’t be real. People didn’t just get taken off the streets like this—at least not people like her. This was something that happened in the movies, in the stories she had read, but not to her. "Why are you doing this?" she whispered, her voice raw. For the first time, Rafael’s expression shifted. His smirk faded, replaced by something darker. Something deeper. "You’ll find out soon enough," he murmured. Sophia’s breath caught in her throat. She could see it in his eyes—this wasn’t random. This wasn’t just a kidnapping. He had a reason for taking her. Her stomach flipped, fear tightening its grip on her chest. She needed to escape. Her gaze darted toward the car door. If she could just— As if sensing her thoughts, Rafael’s grip tightened. "Don’t even think about it, piccola." Sophia clenched her teeth. "Go to hell." His smirk returned, slow and wicked. "Darling, I own hell." Before she could respond, he reached into his jacket pocket. Sophia’s pulse spiked when he pulled out a silk scarf, the deep navy blue contrasting starkly against his tanned fingers. Her breath caught. "No—" But he was already moving. "Shh," he murmured, pressing the fabric against her eyes. The world plunged into darkness. Sophia sucked in a sharp breath, her panic spiking. She twisted her head, but the scarf was already being tied at the back, securing the blindfold over her eyes. The loss of sight made everything worse. She could still feel him. The heat of his body beside her, the way his scent—a mix of clean spice and something dangerously masculine—filled her senses. "You don’t need to see where we’re going," Rafael said softly, as if that was supposed to calm her. Sophia let out a ragged breath. "You won’t get away with this," she whispered, her voice shaking. Rafael’s fingers traced the delicate curve of her wrist, almost soothing. "I already have."

Torn by Obsession Chapter 4 The Cage
Darkness.Sophia’s world had shrunk to the suffocating press of the silk blindfold, the smooth fabric cool against her skin. Without her sight, everything else intensified—the hum of the car’s engine, the leather seat beneath her, and most of all, him.Rafael De Luca.He sat beside her, his presence an unspoken weight in the confined space. She could feel his eyes on her, feel the raw power radiating from his body, and it terrified her. He hadn’t hurt her—yet—but there was something far worse than pain in the way he spoke.Possession.He acted as if he already owned her.Her breathing came fast and uneven. “Where are you taking me?” she demanded, trying to keep her voice steady despite the blindfold, despite the unknown.A deep chuckle rumbled from his chest, so smooth and dark it sent a chill down her spine. “Home.”Her stomach clenched. “That’s not my home.”His fingers brushed against her wrist, slow and deliberate, as if he were savoring the feel of her pulse racing beneath his to

The grand foyer of the mansion swallowed Sophia whole.Marble floors gleamed beneath the soft glow of chandeliers, their golden light casting shadows that flickered like ghosts. The air smelled rich—like leather, wood smoke, and something darkly masculine. Like him.Her pulse pounded in her ears as she took an unsteady step forward. Everything about this place screamed power, control—a cage disguised as luxury.Rafael stood beside her, his gaze unreadable. He hadn’t touched her since they’d stepped inside, but his presence was an unspoken command, an invisible chain wrapped around her throat.Sophia’s hands clenched into fists. She needed to think. She needed to get out.She turned sharply, fixing him with a glare. “You can’t keep me here.”Rafael’s lips curled at the corner, slow and knowing. “I already am.”Her stomach twisted, but she refused to let fear win. “Someone will come looking for me.”He took a step closer, towering over her. “Who?”The single word sent ice through her ve

The silence in the mansion was deafening.Sophia stood in the grand foyer, her heart still pounding from Rafael’s parting words."Then run, little rabbit."The way he said it, the smug confidence laced in his voice—it made her skin crawl. He saw this as a game, but she wasn’t playing. She was fighting for her freedom.Her gaze darted around the space. Every exit seemed sealed, the towering windows too thick, the doors guarded. She needed a plan. A way out.Taking a slow breath, she moved forward.The mansion was massive, each hallway lined with art, expensive furniture, and a haunting stillness that made her uneasy. It was a beautiful prison—designed to trap her without walls.She passed a room with a roaring fireplace, the flickering glow casting golden light over deep leather chairs and bookshelves that stretched to the ceiling. It felt like a space Rafael would sit in—a king in his castle.A shiver ran down her spine."I’ll make you want to stay."She swallowed hard, pushing forwar

Sophia stood in front of the dining room doors, her fingers curling into the silk fabric of the dress she had been given. It was smooth, expensive, and hugged her body in a way that made her feel more exposed than protected.The dress wasn’t a gift. It was a message.A reminder that she was in his world now.Taking a steadying breath, she pushed open the heavy double doors.The dining room was breathtaking—high ceilings, golden chandeliers, and a long, polished table set for two. Only two.Her stomach tightened.Rafael was already there, leaning back in his chair like a king surveying his kingdom. His dark green eyes locked onto her immediately, piercing through her composure.She forced herself to keep her steps even as she walked toward the table.“You came,” he murmured, his deep voice smooth as silk.Sophia met his gaze. “Did I have a choice?”Rafael smirked, his fingers idly tracing the rim of his wine glass. “Not really.”Her jaw clenched.A servant pulled out a chair for her.

Sophia’s pulse pounded in her ears."I’ve been watching you for a long time, Sophia."The words twisted in her mind, wrapping around her like a noose.Rafael leaned back in his chair, swirling the wine in his glass, utterly relaxed—as if he hadn’t just shattered her entire sense of reality.Sophia gripped the edge of the table, her breathing shallow. “What the hell does that mean?”His emerald eyes gleamed with something unreadable. Something dark.“It means exactly what I said.”Her stomach twisted.“This isn’t a coincidence,” she whispered.Rafael smirked. “No, piccola. It never was.”Her chair scraped against the floor as she pushed back, needing distance. Needing air.“You’re insane.”He merely lifted his glass, taking a slow sip. “Possibly.”Sophia shot to her feet, her heart slamming against her ribs. “I don’t belong here.”Rafael tilted his head. “And yet, here you are.”She turned toward the doors, her breath hitching. Run. Now.But before she could take a step, a hand clamped

Sophia's breath came in uneven bursts, her fingers digging into the fabric of her dress as she stormed down the dimly lit hallway. Rafael’s words still echoed in her mind. "I’ve been watching you for a long time, Sophia." Her stomach twisted. How long? Had he been lurking in the shadows of her life, orchestrating events, pulling invisible strings to bring her here? The thought made her want to scream. She needed air. She needed out. Her heels clicked against the cold marble floor as she turned blindly down a corridor. The mansion was massive, an endless maze of hallways and locked doors. Locked doors. Her pulse spiked as she reached out, fingers curling around a handle. She twisted—locked. Panic started to crawl up her throat. She tried another. And another. Every single one was locked. A tremor ran through her body. No. No, no, no. This wasn’t just captivity. This was a cage. A beautifully crafted, inescapable cage. Sophia took a shaky step back, her heartbeat hammerin

Sophia’s breath hitched as Rafael’s lips skimmed the delicate curve of her jaw. It was barely a touch, but it ignited something deep inside her—something raw and consuming. Her hands braced against his chest, but she didn’t push him away. And Rafael noticed. A low chuckle rumbled from his chest, his warm breath ghosting over her skin. “You can’t decide, can you?” Sophia clenched her jaw. “Decide what?” His fingers trailed down her arm, slow and deliberate. Claiming. Possessive. “Whether to run…” He pressed closer, his hard body flush against hers. Sophia’s breath came faster, her heart slamming against her ribs. “…or surrender.” Her stomach twisted. Because he was right. She wanted to deny it, to spit in his face and tell him she hated him. But the way her pulse raced, the way her body responded to his touch—it betrayed her. Rafael leaned in, his lips brushing the sensitive skin below her ear. A sharp gasp escaped her, and his smirk deepened. “You’re trembling,” he murm

Sophia’s entire body tensed beneath Rafael’s as his words coiled around her like an unbreakable noose. Do you really want me to stop? Yes. No. She didn’t know anymore. Her mind screamed for freedom, but her body… her body had already betrayed her. Rafael smirked as he watched the war rage in her stormy blue eyes. He loved this—loved watching her struggle between hatred and desire. Because in the end, she would break. And she would break for him. His fingers trailed down the delicate skin of her thigh, slow, teasing, cruel. Sophia jerked, her breath catching in her throat. “Stop,” she whispered, her voice weak. Rafael hummed, his lips skimming the line of her jaw. “Say it like you mean it.” Her nails dug into his arms, desperate to ground herself against the electric storm brewing between them. “You’re a monster,” she seethed. His laugh was low, dark, dangerous. “I never claimed to be anything else.” Sophia’s breath hitched as his lips brushed over hers, a featherligh

Torn by Obsession Chapter 200: The End – A Love Unbreakable
The empire was complete.Rafael and Sophia stood side by side, overlooking the vast expanse of their kingdom—the dark, sprawling underworld that was now firmly in their grasp. Their gaze met the horizon, where the shadows of their power stretched far beyond what anyone could have imagined. The once chaotic world, filled with constant threats and power struggles, had finally settled under their rule. There were no more challengers, no more betrayals, and no more doubts.They had won. Together.Sophia, no longer the naive detective or the prey in this dangerous game, stood as his equal—her power undeniable, her presence commanding. She had shed her former self, embracing the darkness that Rafael had shown her, not just as his lover but as the queen of shadows. The woman who once hunted him had become the woman who ruled by his side.And Rafael… He had always been the shadow king, the untouchable force who moved in silence. But with Sophia at his side, he had found something more. The fi
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. The bloodshed, the betrayals, the constant war for power—it had all been worth it. Every single sacrifice had been part of the grand design, a design that now stretched across continents, ruled by two powerful, unstoppable beings.Sophia stood beside him, her presence as commanding as ever, her beauty matched only by her fierce strength. She had once been the detective who hunted him, unknowingly driven into his world by his hand, but now, she was his
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
Torn by Obsession Chapter 197: Final Betrayals
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
Torn by Obsession Chapter 196: Rafael’s Legacy
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. The loyalty of Rafael’s inner circle had always been unwavering—until now.Rafael sat in his darkened office, the only light coming from the glow of the screens before him. 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. Rafael stood at its center in a black tailored suit, the De León crest embroidered in crimson across his chest. Hi
Torn by Obsession Chapter 192: The Calm Before the Wedding Storm
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. His chin came to rest on her shoulder, and for the first time in wee
