All Chapters of Her dangerous desires: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Chapter 32: Paranoia SOPHIE This wasn't all in my head, I was being followed, I thought it was when I told Mia and she asked me if I was taking my meds, like I wouldn't know when I'm being followed. As I left Mia’s house, I felt it again— eyes piercing my back immediately, I knew something was off. I glanced over my shoulder as I got into my car, scanning the quiet street. Nothing seemed out of place: a few parked cars, a man walking his dog, nothing out of the ordinary but still, my gut twisted in that familiar way. I locked my car doors as soon as I slid into the driver’s seat, my fingers trembling as I gripped the wheel. It was probably nothing. Just my mind playing tricks on me. I had learnt not to trust it lately—paranoia had become my constant companion. With a sharp exhale, I started the engine and pulled away from Mia’s driveway, forcing myself not to check the rearview mirror too often. Once inside my apartment, I locked the door and slid the deadbolt into place. A

Chapter 34: Stupid promiseGREG EVANSThat little bitch, coming here and telling me what to do, how dare she? If I had known she'd turn out like this, I would have also gotten her some drugs like her brother.A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts, must be my useless brother.“You're back, you should have seen the way your…” I grumbled as I opened the door.Men in uniform greeted me by shoving a warrant on my face.“Mr Greg Evans?” One of them asked.“Yes, who's asking?” I responded.“We have a warrant for your arrest in connection with theft and obstruction of justice by tampering with evidence.” He said, handcuffing me.“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand these rights?” He added, leading me out of the house.I look back and see Mia observing all these from the staircase and doing nothing. Now

Chapter 36: Case closedETHANAfter a few days, I contacted the detective in charge of the murder case asking for updates.“The case is closed sir, it was ruled a suicide.” She responded when I asked about the case.“Closed, why?” I answered surprised. “Could someone tell me what the hell is going on in this country? That woman was fucking murdered for God damn sake.”“The evidence we found on the scene after cross examination pointed towards suicide, she shot herself to death.” She explained.“God damn it. Aren't you listening to me?”“I don't believe that, something else is at play here, why would she send me a ‘help me’ text when she just wanted to kill herself?” I asked her, my voice sounding irritated.“I'm sorry sir, There's nothing more to investigate unless you have an unknown lead somewhere that you would like to share with us.” She responded, her tone sharp.I kept quiet because I don't have any leads regarding the case.“Since you're mute, I guess it's settled then.” She sa

Chapter 38: Getting out of your skinGREG EVANS“If it isn't the great Greg Evans.” A voice interrupted my thoughts.“Who the hell is…” I said looking up at the intruder.“Ha… I got you!” His hand fell roughly on my shoulder.The voice was rough,I froze as I recognized the voice. Slowly, I turned to face them—three men, all built like brick walls, their faces intimidating.“Been looking for ya,” the leader sneered, cracking his knuckles. “Bring him out.” He commanded and his boys dragged me out of the club.They dragged me out to the alley behind the club. “Gentlemen, no need for theatrics. I was just about to…” I said, forcing a grin as they dropped me on the floor like a sack of potatoes.“Save it,” he interrupted, stepping closer. “You’ve been dodging us for months. Time’s up.” Before I could react, a fist slammed into my stomach, knocking air out of me. I stumbled back, clutching my stomach, but they didn’t give me a chance to recover. Another blow caught me across the jaw, s

Chapter 40: The Forced Date MIA Immediately I saw the text. I knew who it was, Ethan, always so authoritative. I ignored the text and continued on my way, as I got to the driveway, I got a call from the same number. What does he want again? I ignored the call and gathered my things, the call came again this time I didn't ignore it. “What do you want?” I asked as I answered the call. “Hey, hey, sweet thing. You've been ignoring me. Why is that?” He responded, his voice calm as usual. “You have four seconds remaining.” I snapped. “I want to take you out.” He insisted, sounding serious. Was he serious? Take me out? Ethan has never taken me out or made efforts to take me out. “What?” I asked confused, my mind racing. I know I said I didn't want to have anything to do with him again but he still had a huge effect on me, I just couldn't help it. My crush on him was something that just happened. I've liked him since I knew what liking meant, since I was in high school, so yeah it
