Veiled Obsession Chapter 48: Office teasings
Sebastian leaned back in his chair, a rare moment of serenity washing over him as he glanced at the clock. It was finally time for lunch—an excuse to steal a few precious minutes with his wife. He turned his gaze toward Olivia’s cabin, where she was immersed in her work, oblivious to his plans. Smirking to himself, he reached for the intercom and pressed the button to call her. Olivia picked up without looking at the caller ID. “Hello?” she said, her voice distracted but soft. “It’s time for lunch,” Sebastian’s smooth voice replied. “So?” she retorted, not bothering to mask the mild irritation in her tone. He chuckled quietly, a teasing edge creeping into his words. “Can I get my wife now?” At that, Olivia glanced up, her eyes meeting his through the glass wall separating their offices. A slight blush crept up her cheeks, but she quickly tried to compose herself. “I’m not hungry,” she said, hoping to deflect him. Sebastian’s smirk widened, his tone firm yet laced with affection

The day’s work finally draws to a close, a quiet relief settling over the car as it glides steadily along the dimly lit road. Olivia sits quietly in the passenger seat, her gaze fixed intently on the rain-slicked streets outside, where reflections of streetlights shimmer like small stars in a darkened sky. The soft, rhythmic hum of the engine fills the air, mingling with the distant sound of raindrops pattering against the windshield. In this cocoon of muted sounds, Olivia becomes lost in her thoughts, a tangle of reflections swirling in her mind. Sebastian, seated behind the wheel, steals occasional glances at her from the corner of his eye. He feels a familiar knot of tension in his stomach, his fingers tightening around the steering wheel. The weight of the silence between them hangs thick, filled with unspoken words that seem to echo louder than the rain. He shifts uncomfortably in his seat, a subtle dance of nerves and determination as he tries to conjure up something—anythin

The Monday morning buzz hummed through the halls of Business College as students filed in, eyes bleary from too little sleep and too many deadlines. Olivia Brooks, seated at her favorite corner table in the student lounge, sipped her coffee, her eyes scanning over a stack of notes. It was the same table she always picked—the one just far enough from the windows to avoid distractions but close enough to give her a glimpse of the campus lawn where groups gathered between classes. It gave her comfort, a spot she could rely on in a schedule that rarely wavered. Olivia wasn’t one for spontaneity. She knew her routine down to the hour: an early-morning coffee, a full day of lectures, afternoons in the library, and nights spent revisiting her notes until her eyelids drooped. It wasn’t thrilling, perhaps, but it was stable. Reliable. And stability was something Olivia valued more than excitement. “Olivia! You’re here early,” a familiar voice called from across the lounge. Her best friend,

The next morning, Olivia found herself unusually on edge. It had been a restless night, her mind replaying Alexander Cross's talk over and over. She could still remember the magnetic look he had given her, a look that seemed to pierce through the crowded auditorium and fix right on her. She tried to shake it off as mere coincidence, but something about him had stuck, a stubborn thought that refused to fade.Olivia was finishing her notes in the campus library when her phone buzzed. She glanced down, surprised to see a message from her advisor, Professor Hayes.“Olivia, can you come by my office? Alexander Cross has requested to speak with you.”Her heart skipped. What could he possibly want with her? She felt a mix of excitement and apprehension as she gathered her things and made her way to Professor Hayes's office.---As she entered, Olivia’s eyes met the figure standing by the window, hands in his pockets, gaze focused somewhere beyond the campus grounds. Alexander Cross turned as

It was only her third week at the firm, and Olivia was already feeling the intensity of the fast-paced world she’d been thrown into. Late nights and early mornings had become routine, and she was doing her best to absorb every bit of knowledge, determined not to let the opportunity slip by.Today, she’d spent hours combing through financial reports and drafting her first proposal, eager to impress Alexander. She knew he was expecting it by the end of the day, so she hurried to his office, the folder clutched in her hands. She paused outside his door, taking a deep breath to steady herself before knocking.But as she raised her hand to knock, she heard faint laughter coming from inside. She froze, her hand hovering mid-air, curiosity getting the better of her. Alexander was speaking, his voice lower, a casual tone she’d never heard him use before.A second voice responded—female, with a flirtatious edge to it. Olivia’s brows knitted together as she tried to make sense of what she was h

The days following her unsettling discovery were a blur for Olivia. She threw herself into her work, hoping that staying busy would keep her thoughts from wandering back to Alexander and the image of him with Rebecca. But no matter how hard she tried, the memory of that day lingered in her mind like a shadow, darkening the excitement she’d once felt about her internship.She’d always respected him, admired his confidence and intelligence. But now, every time she saw him, she felt an uncomfortable mix of emotions—attraction mingled with doubt. She tried to remind herself of his professional accolades, of how generous he’d been to offer her this opportunity. Yet, every interaction seemed charged with a tension that left her questioning her own feelings.Late one afternoon, as she was reviewing data reports, a message from Alexander popped up on her screen.“Olivia, can you come to my office? I’d like to go over your recent proposal.”Her heart skipped. She took a steadying breath, gathe

It was a typical Monday afternoon, and Olivia was reviewing some files at her desk when a familiar voice interrupted her concentration.“Olivia,” Alexander’s smooth voice called out, catching her off guard. She looked up to see him standing in her office doorway, a casual but confident expression on his face.“Oh, hi, Mr. Alexander,” she stammered, straightening up as she tried to conceal her surprise.“Please, just Alexander,” he corrected, his usual charismatic smile playing on his lips. “I was actually wondering if you’d have a few minutes to chat. I have a proposal for you.”Olivia felt a nervous thrill pulse through her. “Of course,” she said, gesturing for him to sit down, though he didn’t move from the doorway.“It’s come to my attention that you’ve shown an impressive amount of dedication in the short time you’ve been with us,” Alexander began, his gaze fixed intently on her. “In fact, I think you might benefit from a more hands-on experience… How would you feel about accompan

Olivia awoke to the soft glow of dawn seeping through her hotel window, painting the room in warm shades of amber and gold. She stretched slowly, savoring the quiet and stillness before the day began. Memories of yesterday—of Alexander’s laughter, his hand guiding her through the bustling streets, his quiet, enigmatic smiles—flooded her mind. She let herself linger on these thoughts, a mixture of excitement and nerves swirling in her stomach.Pulling herself out of bed, Olivia freshened up and slipped into a light, summery dress, hoping it looked effortlessly charming yet casual. As she adjusted her necklace, she caught her own gaze in the mirror and took a deep breath, reminding herself that today was just another day. But deep down, she couldn’t ignore the way her heart raced, a spark of anticipation igniting at the thought of spending more time with Alexander.By the time she stepped out of her room, she found him waiting in the hotel lobby, leaning against a marble pillar with a c

Veiled Obsession Chapter 47: His Distraction
After breakfast, Sebastian led Olivia to the car. The ride to the office was quiet but charged with unspoken tension. She gazed out the window, trying to calm her nerves about the day ahead, while Sebastian occasionally glanced her way, a faint smile playing on his lips. As they entered the office building, the atmosphere shifted. Heads turned as they walked through the spacious, marble-floored lobby. Conversations paused, and whispers spread like wildfire. Olivia could feel the weight of everyone’s stares, a mix of curiosity, admiration, and jealousy in their eyes. Sebastian, unfazed, walked with his usual air of authority. Olivia, however, kept her gaze forward, her cheeks flushing faintly. She wasn’t used to being the center of attention. When they reached the top floor, he led her to a glass door beside his office and pushed it open. The cabin inside was stunning—sleek, modern furniture, a large mahogany desk, and floor-to-ceiling windows offering a breathtaking view of the ci
Veiled Obsession Chapter 46: Accepting his Conditions
Olivia woke slowly, the soft light of morning peeking through the window. She was in an unfamiliar room, though it felt like the one she'd spent the night in. She turned her head and saw the bed was untouched beside her. Sebastian had given her privacy, sleeping in the room next door. She sat up, the heaviness of last night still lingering. She remembered everything clearly—the marriage, his cold ultimatum. You can go back to work, but on one condition: you’ll get special treatment, as my wife. The words echoed in her mind as she swung her legs off the bed and stood up. Her feet met the plush carpet, and she walked to the window, looking out at the sprawling grounds of his mansion. She could feel the weight of his condition pressing down on her. She didn’t want to accept it, but she had no choice. Special treatment, she thought bitterly. The idea of being treated like a trophy at work, her position tied solely to her marriage, didn’t sit well with her. But she needed to work. Sh
Veiled Obsession Chapter 45: Conditions
They heard the doorbell rang, their attention got diverted to it leaving Olivia's request " It must be the food delivery, I ordered your favorite. let's continue this discussion on the dining table" Sebestian said, making Olivia nod. Olivia entered in the dining room and settled on one of the chair of dining table, Sebestian also came after sometime taking the delivery. Olivia stood and served them both. The dining room was steeped in tension, every clink of cutlery against the plates amplified in the silence. Olivia sat stiffly, her gaze fixed on the table as she tried to summon the courage to speak."I need to go back to work," she said finally, her voice steady despite the turmoil inside her.Sebastian, seated across from her, raised his head slowly, his dark eyes narrowing slightly. He took his time setting his coffee cup down, studying her with an intensity that made her stomach twist."You can," he said, his voice calm yet commanding.For a fleeting moment, relief fluttered in
Veiled Obsession Chapter 44: Forced Husband
Sebastian walked into the living room, his footsteps soft against the hardwood floor. The glow of the television illuminated the otherwise dim space, casting flickering shadows on the walls. He immediately noticed Olivia, curled up on the couch, a blanket loosely draped over her. She had fallen asleep there, her head resting against the armrest, her body relaxed in a way that betrayed her exhaustion. The television played the final scenes of her favorite series, the familiar dialogue now a muted background hum. Sebastian paused, taking in the scene. Her face was serene, her features softened by sleep. A stray lock of hair framed her cheek, catching the faint light from the screen. She looked so peaceful, a stark contrast to the turmoil he knew she had been enduring. He moved closer, his eyes lingering on her. There was something utterly disarming about seeing her like this, so unguarded. She clutched the edge of the blanket as though it were a shield, a subconscious act of seeking
Veiled Obsession Chapter 43: Bringing Gifts
I leaned back in my chair, letting the memory of the morning replay in my mind. It hadn’t gone as planned, not at all, yet somehow, it felt perfect.I had wanted to surprise her with breakfast—her favorites, of course. I’d envisioned her sitting down, her guarded expression softening as she saw the effort I’d made for her. But instead, I’d ended up with burnt toast, overcooked eggs, and a kitchen filled with smoke.She had walked in just as I was waving a towel to clear the air, her eyebrows raised in surprise. For a moment, I thought she might laugh, but instead, she tilted her head, studying me like I was an unsolvable puzzle. Then, to my surprise, she’d suggested we cook together.I hadn’t expected her to offer, but the idea of working side by side with her was too tempting to refuse. So, I stepped back, letting her take the lead. She seemed more at ease as she moved around the kitchen, instructing me on how to whisk eggs properly and how much seasoning to add.Her movements were s
Veiled Obsession Chapter 42: Cooking Together
Sunlight poured through the oversized windows of the bedroom, casting golden patterns across the plush duvet. Olivia stirred, the soft glow of morning nudging her from sleep. Her lashes fluttered open, and she instinctively reached for the other side of the bed, but her hand met cool, undisturbed sheets. Frowning slightly, she sat up, her fingers brushing her hair out of her face as she glanced around the room.The elegant bedroom, with its neutral tones and luxurious touches, was eerily quiet. Usually, she would hear faint noises—the distant hum of staff going about their morning routines or the clinking of dishes from the kitchen. But today, there was only silence, save for the faint rustling of trees outside.Curiosity tugged at her. Where was Sebastian? It wasn’t like him to leave without a word.She slipped out of bed, her bare feet sinking into the soft rug. Walking over to the wardrobe, she chose a simple light-blue summer dress, its soft fabric brushing gently against her skin
Veiled Obsession Chapter 41: Confusion
The grand doors of the mansion opened, and Sebastian gently guided Olivia inside. She still wore her wedding gown, her fingers clutching the edge of her veil. Her eyes darted around, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings of the place that was now supposed to be her home. “You must be exhausted,” Sebastian said softly. “Let me take you to our room.” Olivia stiffened slightly at his words. Her nerves showed in the way she adjusted her grip on the veil, but she nodded. “Alright.” He placed a hand on the small of her back, leading her up the wide staircase. The mansion was eerily silent, the soft click of their footsteps echoing in the vast space. At the end of a long hallway, Sebastian opened a door and stepped aside for her to enter. Olivia hesitated on the threshold, her eyes sweeping over the enormous room. A canopy bed draped in luxurious fabric dominated the space. The dim, golden light of the chandelier cast a warm glow over dark wood furniture and a faintly flickering fi
