Veiled Obsession Chapter 10: Unknown Stalker
OLIVIA'S POVI step into my room, my heart still racing from the night. The date. The kiss. I can’t stop smiling, even though it’s late. The adrenaline from being with Alexander lingers in me—his smile, the way his hand felt against the small of my back when he walked me to my door. I should feel more embarrassed about how easily I let him in, but all I feel is excitement.I kick off my heels, feeling the release of tension in my feet as they hit the soft carpet. The first thing I do is glance at my phone. A part of me hopes to see a text from him, though I know it's still early. There's nothing. I feel a strange tug of disappointment, but I quickly brush it off.I set my purse down on the desk, take a deep breath, and pull my hair out of the tight bun that’s been sitting on the back of my neck all evening. The loose strands fall around my face, and for a moment, I just stand there, thinking back to how he looked at me. His eyes were different tonight. Like there was something between
Veiled Obsession Chapter 11: Lunch date
The light from her phone pierced the early morning dimness, drawing her from sleep into a new wave of unease. There it was again. Another message. She stared at the screen, hoping, somehow, it might be different this time. But the words cut sharp and familiar: “Pretty today, even in that simple little pajama. Did he like that look too?”Her heart thudded in her chest, cold and heavy. She clenched her jaw, tossed the phone aside, and forced herself out of bed. She wouldn’t reply—couldn’t reply. It felt like giving up a piece of herself just to respond, just to acknowledge… whoever this was.The morning routine grounded her, if only barely. She showered, dressed in her sharpest blazer, and applied makeup with a firm hand, as if creating a mask to hide every sliver of fear that lingered under her skin. She repeated her usual, simple affirmations under her breath as she combed her hair, but they felt hollow today.The walk to the office was longer than usual, every sound seeming amplified
Veiled Obsession Chapter 12: A Joke or something else?
Olivia sat at her desk, barely able to focus on her work. Her phone was beside her, screen dark, but she could still feel its weight, a reminder of the last disturbing message she’d received. Every small sound around her felt amplified, and her nerves were frayed.Out of habit, she glanced out the window. Across the street, a figure lingered—a tall man with his hat pulled low, seemingly watching her. Her chest tightened, and she quickly looked away, convincing herself it was just a passerby, but her heart kept pounding.Just then, Alexander entered her office, catching her off guard. He was observant, and today, he didn’t miss her tense posture.“You don’t look like yourself today,” he remarked, giving her a long look. “Are you sure everything’s okay?”Startled, Olivia managed a faint smile. “Yeah… just a lot on my mind.”Alexander’s gaze lingered on her, and he reached out to rest a hand on her shoulder—a touch that was meant to be comforting but instead felt oddly possessive. “You’r
Veiled Obsession Chapter 13: A Rainy Day
INT. OFFICE - NIGHTThe office is dimly lit, and the usual buzz of activity has faded. Olivia finishes typing, glancing at the clock. It’s late, and everyone has left for the day. She gathers her things, slipping on her coat and moving toward the door. Just as she reaches for the handle, she hears the rain—a downpour, relentless and heavy against the windows.Olivia sighs and stares out, her heart sinking as she realizes she has no umbrella. The rain is so intense she can barely make out the street below. Resigned, she turns back to wait it out.INT. OFFICE - LOUNGE AREA - MOMENTS LATEROlivia makes herself a cup of coffee in the small lounge. The sound of footsteps behind her makes her jump. She turns to see Alexander approaching, his hands casually in his pockets.ALEXANDERDidn’t expect to see anyone else still here.OLIVIASame here. I didn’t know you were still working.Alexander glances at the window and smiles, nodding toward the rain.ALEXANDERLooks like we’re stuck. Quite th
Veiled Obsession Chapter 14: Confession
The office was eerily quiet as Olivia typed away at her laptop, her fingers moving slower than usual. She was nearly done with her work, but her focus had been scattered all evening. The harsh fluorescent lights buzzed above her, and the faint sound of rain against the windows only added to her sense of isolation. A glance at the clock showed it was nearly 10 PM.Her phone sat on her desk, screen dark, but its presence loomed over her like a weight. The anonymous messages had stopped, for now, but their lingering threat echoed in her mind. “See you soon, Olivia.” She shivered at the memory and shook her head, trying to focus.“Burning the midnight oil again?”The voice startled her. Olivia looked up to see Alexander leaning casually against the doorway, his suit jacket slung over his arm. His tailored shirt was slightly unbuttoned, revealing just a hint of his chest. He smiled, and the room seemed to shrink around her.“I didn’t expect anyone else to still be here,” Olivia replied, he
Veiled Obsession Chapter 15: A perfect Weekend
The morning sunlight streamed through Olivia’s curtains as she got ready for her outing with Alexander. The casual yet polished outfit she’d chosen felt just right—neither too much nor too little. As she fastened her earrings, her phone buzzed with a message.Alexander: “Outside your door, sunshine. Take your time, though. I’m enjoying the morning breeze.”She smiled, shaking her head. Stepping outside, she found Alexander leaning against his sleek car, dressed in a crisp white shirt and jeans that seemed tailored just for him. He opened the door for her with a small bow.“You look radiant,” he said, his voice warm and genuine.“And you’re over-dressed for an amusement park,” Olivia teased.He chuckled. “You’ll thank me when we hit the photo booths.”The drive to the park was lighthearted. Alexander played a mix of old-school jazz and upbeat pop, their laughter punctuating the music as they traded stories about childhood amusement park memories. Olivia was struck by how effortlessly h
Veiled Obsession Chapter 16: Real Intentions
OLIVIA'S POV The elevator doors slid open, and Alexander led me into his penthouse. The sight was breathtaking—sleek furniture, ambient lighting, and a city skyline stretching endlessly beyond the massive windows. It felt surreal, like stepping into a magazine spread."Make yourself at home," Alexander said, his voice smooth as velvet.I hesitated for a second before moving further inside, setting my bag carefully on the coffee table. My gaze swept the room. Everything about the space screamed wealth and sophistication. I could feel Alexander’s presence behind me, watching my every move.“This place is... beautiful,” I said, trying to sound casual, though the grandeur of it made me uneasy.“I’m glad you like it,” he replied. His tone was warm, but there was an undercurrent of something else.He moved to a sleek bar cart by the wall and picked up a bottle of wine. “Red or white?”“Red,” I said softly. My voice came out smaller than I expected, but I didn’t want to seem ungrateful. He’
Veiled Obsession Chapter 17: Behind the mask
Rain cascades down the massive floor-to-ceiling windows of my penthouse, blurring the city skyline into a haze of light and shadow. I stand with a tumbler of bourbon in hand, staring out at the chaos below. From up here, the city looks insignificant, like an anthill waiting to be crushed.But tonight, my mind is far from the city. My thoughts are consumed by her.Olivia Harper.I swirl the amber liquid in my glass, savoring its warmth as I replay the moment I first saw her. She was just another face in a crowd of students, sitting in the third row during that seminar. I hadn’t planned on paying attention to anyone, much less her, but there was something about her that snagged my interest.Not her face—it was pretty enough, I suppose, in that fresh, innocent way. But it was her body. The kind of body that doesn’t know its own power. Hidden under dull, modest clothes, her curves still managed to tease, to tempt.She didn’t know it, but every shy glance, every nervous fidget, every uncon

Veiled Obsession Chapter 21: Alexander's Destruction
I closed the door to her room gently, letting the faint sound of the latch echo in the quiet hallway. For a moment, I stood there, my hand still gripping the doorknob, unsure if I should go back in. The image of her lying there, so small and broken, burned into my mind. She had barely spoken, yet her silence said enough. Turning away, I walked down the hall. My footsteps felt heavier with each step. The soft glow of the rain outside spilled through the windows, streaking shadows across the floor. The storm outside matched the one inside me. I couldn’t stop seeing her face—her tear-soaked cheeks, the way she flinched when I tried to calm her like she expected even my kindness to come with a blade. I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. She deserved better than this world. Better than him. Dropping into the chair in the sitting room, I leaned forward and rested my elbows on my knees. My head fell into my hands as anger simmered be
Veiled Obsession Chapter 20: Sharing pain
Morning light filtered through the soft drapes, casting a golden glow across the unfamiliar room. Olivia stirred awake, her lashes fluttering as she blinked against the brightness. For a moment, she felt weightless, caught in the haze of waking from a dream. But as she turned her head, reality began to set in. This wasn’t her room. The bed was far larger and more luxurious than her simple one-bedroom apartment could afford. The room was pristine, with an understated elegance. A single abstract painting dominated the far wall, its muted colors blending seamlessly with the cream and beige decor. A glass door led to a balcony, where sunlight spilled onto the floor in soft, inviting pools. Olivia sat up, clutching the comforter to her chest as unease rippled through her. The events of the previous night were fragmented, flashes of rain and heartbreak mingling with the sense of falling into nothingness. She remembered leaving Alexander’s penthouse, her body trembling with anger and hu
Veiled Obsession Chapter 19: Unwell Olivia
The rain poured mercilessly, drenching the streets in a glossy sheen. Sebastian moved swiftly, carrying Olivia’s unconscious form in his arms. Her face was pale, her lips trembling from the cold. He ignored the water soaking through his clothes and darkening his hair; his only focus was getting her to safety. The ride to his luxurious mansion was silent except for the rhythmic drip of water from his coat. The luxury elevator’s polished mirrors reflected his composed yet intense expression. Once inside his mansion, he placed Olivia gently on the velvet couch in the center of the living room. The room was expansive, illuminated by soft, golden lighting that reflected off the marble floors and modern furniture. With precise movements, he removed her damp shoes and tucked a blanket over her, ensuring she was warm. Sebastian picked up his phone and dialed a number. The voice on the other end greeted him, but he cut to the point. “Dr. Moretti, I need you at my residence immediatel
Veiled Obsession Chapter 18: Twisted Games
Sebastian Massimo leaned back in his plush leather chair, the glow of his laptop screen casting sharp shadows across his chiseled features. The numbers on the spreadsheet blurred together, meaningless. Another late night, another silent office. The clicking of the clock was his only companion. This was his life—a successful business built from nothing, yet nothing to show for it but loneliness. At thirty-six, Sebastian had everything a man could desire: wealth, power, and influence. But his sprawling villa in Florence felt like a gilded cage. Until her. He had first seen Olivia at a business seminar in Milan. She wasn’t meant to stand out; just another face in the sea of suits and polished shoes. But the moment she walked into the conference room, Sebastian’s world tilted. She wasn’t like the others. Her demeanor was gentle, her presence understated, yet magnetic. Sebastian watched her from across the room as she nervously adjusted her glasses and tucked a strand of hair behind h
